Because I'll be travelling the main blog may not come out on the scheduled day, but I'll do the best I can with the resources available.

When I return to Borris I'll be working on a new book. I'm putting together a volume of my most popular short stories, both from the site and from my files. Initially it will be in PDF format, although hard copy may be a possibility in the future. I'll keep you posted!
