Almost a quarter of the twenty first century had passed, when life in the British Isles changed dramatically. The horror that they had pretended couldn’t happen, did. As the smoke drifted for days, weather vanes took on a new and grim significance and the life style of the humble snail became surprisingly important.
What hadn’t changed was the courage and resilience of the people. No one dwelt on the disaster. In the years that followed, it became a convention for them to say “Before it happened” or “After it happened.” The future was there to be protected and this time the teenagers weren’t leaving it to the adults.

One day I will sort my website out.... New Year's Resolution
We made an audio book, in fact we made two audio books, but one still needs a bit of work on it. It's quite a fun thing to do, but incredibly time consuming if you are using a cheap voice recorder, because if you have one like mine, you can't just correct any mistakes immediately. This means that someone has to spend hours listening to the recordings and editing it, ... From now on, I'm going to use a microphone and watch the waveforms!
Anyway, that's why my website is still a mess... and it is! For some reason, the colours won't upload anymore, and I'm running out of space, which means that I have to make links to new pages. Happily, the paypal buttons still function properly, which is a relief, and it has Norton protection, so it is going strong at a basic level. It just needs three days to rebuild the whole thing, which is why this has to be a New Year's Resolution.
Meanwhile, the blog is becoming the basket for an an increasing number of projects, and the audio books and ebooks are the latest projects to be dumped in it.
The Eco Novel, "Everyone Can be a herO" is still being sold, and the Ebook has been out for a while and as soon as the audio book is finished, I'll put some clips out. There is an honest review you can find using Yahoo as search engine.
"Where The Fox Goes" is still about society and people caring, but it's quite a different sort of book, it is about people, who meet up because they are kind, either to each other or to a small cat, or both, and it's set in the last recession. Things happen because they are kind and they do care, and I'm not going to tell you the story, because what's the point of reading it or listening to it otherwise? The only thing I would add is that there are positive references to Australia and America and some history about the Enclosures.
It has a Christian background, but it isn't dogmatic. I don't really know how to classify it, because it isn't like the usual Christian family fiction which is on the web.
The only thing I would say about the audiobook is that this is like having someone you know reading to you, it isn't perfect or professional, but sometimes it is a bit better because of the way they do it.... and it comes free with the ebook.
The Ebook is currently in the simplest format possible and is emailed to you as a pdf for £1.00 (around $1.50 U.S dollars). You are given a link to download the Audio book.
You can order a copy from my website, Inside Outsider Publications, www.insideoutsider.co.uk
Everyone Can be a herO is on sale at the same price for the Ebook and £10 for the book.
.... And I shall be sorting out my website... honest
