Singing a favourite hymn when things were tough was what Alan did, if he thought no one could hear him.
In "Where The Fox Goes" Alan does just that, but he had no idea where it would lead him and how it would help them all.

Regaining democracy.. in fiction
Today I am selling books... ebooks and a freebie audio book. I can wrap it in a friendly blog, but what I am trying to do is to sell books. Like most other people I need to, but unlike most other people I wouldn't say the quality of presentation was that good. Everyone Can be a herO is fine. Micheal Smith of the Green (living) Review liked the book enough to suggest that we made an ebook too, and when I told him I hadn't ever done one before, he very kindly rolled up his sleeves and did it.
Where The Fox Goes is words... nothing but words. I thought that was what stories were about. It's also a very low download at around 600kb.. Everyone Can be a herO is around 1 MB and that includes one picture.
These are people's books, about regaining democracy and not accepting a post democratic society, about warm friendly people who don't just care about their own problems but are prepared to step in and help their neighbours, Where this leads them and the adventures they have is part of the stories.. One thing is certain, they don't use violence to solve problems..They are too bright to do that.
Everyone Can be a herO is for teenagers, but other people read it.. This is set in the future and is a school library book due back in 2040. There has been another nuclear accident, but this time it's in Britain. It isn't as bad as Fukushima or Chornobyl but the same problems are there. The people who are left behind are the ones who can't buy their way out... but they are some of the best ones and they are trying to grow food organically and share what they grow. The oil ran out some time before the accident and they have already come to terms with this, there were even some surprising benefits, what wasn't so good was the nuclear legacy.... and the baddies have decided that there are a few quid to be made from it.
"Where The Fox Goes" is Christian family fiction with a difference, it doesn't fit a conventional pattern and you don't have to be a Christian to read it.. There are various extracts you can read on my website, including this one from " The Fight to Save the Allotments"..Ivan is talking to his grandchildren.
“Maybe I’m wrong, maybe I’m right, but when ordinary people have something special, that they work hard at and take care of, someone always seems to come along and tries to take it away from them on the pretext that they’re doing it to improve things. Really, all they’re bothered about is making money out of it. Even if you can’t see who it is, they’re always there.” He smiled wryly. “It’s power or money, but it’s usually money.” he added. http://www.insideoutsider.co.uk/page24.html
I have left the ebooks as pdf's because people have so many different readers that it seemed silly to try to limit what I was selling. If you have problems with this, please email me and I'll do my best to sort it out for you. Should you have a more modern Kindle, apparently you can just copy them into "documents" folder on your Kindle device when it is connected to your Mac or PC via USB cable.
To find out more, my website is pretty basic but it is solar powered!! http://ww.insideoutsider.co.uk

Where Love is.
Hi, my name is June and I have written a book called Where The Fox Goes. It's Christian fiction, but it isn't a genre book. My characters aren't all in happy marriages, for one couple it's a happy second relationship. This is about people where they are, not how things necessarily are, in an ideal world. It's a story about animals in a landscape and people in the same area, it goes backwards and forwards in time.
This landscape has been protected during the enclosures, and now it's under threat from developers. Whereas my first book is in print and has been bought by bookshops, this one is being sent out cheaply as as an audio book and pdf ebook. It has the hymn "Who would true valour see" in it. The people need to protect their wastelands, the area of beauty and woodland they love to visit, and maybe if they talk to each other and care, they can achieve more than they had hoped for. It was written about an earlier time of recession, but it is a book for today.
If you have a wood or a forest you care about, Sunday 20th March is world forest day. In Britain there will be demonstrations throughout the country organised by Save Our Forests campaign and people will be visiting their local forests and woods to make their position clear. We are not out of the woods yet, the threat to our woodlands and forests is still there. Frank Dobson M.P. in a letter to me, strongly urged attending a local event and making your voice heard.

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
