A few years ago I heard someone had written 'Everyone has a book inside them' and i feel I have twenty at any one time! Most of the time of the last few years I have had very little time to do much, however since getting married just over a year ago I realised life wasnt all about work work work and I decided to do something about it. Now here I am 15 months later a little poorer but somemuch happier, I have a wife I ove a great deal and a daughter who I not only dote on , but loves me a great deal, I also have a son in Middlesbrough whom I have not seen in five years, but really, there is not a day that goes by when I dont think of him....

Anyway I began writing a short story a few months ago, and never stopped, I had written it seemed, instead of a short story but a rather large out line for a large story/short novel, so I began to fill it out, and I was very suprised at how naturally the wording came, I have now finished three drafts of the story and I am in the process of typing up a final copy, this is the book in chapters that I am publishing online here for the first time.

As to websites, I kind of fell into that really, I have a smashing phone (phone whats that got to do with the price of fish? I hear you ask well please read on!) that reads and can store web pages, and I also have a number of HTML 'E-Books' that I was able to transfer to the phone and when I was on long boring journeys I had my pick of 12 or so ebooks that were saved on the phone, Now one day I suddenly realised that I had an awful lot of .txt ebooks that couldnt be read, but if they could be converted into HTML well.....

And the rest as they say is history I suddenly thought well if I can write this in HTML why not a small website? and within a week I had created and designed a very basic website and so Mywriting commmunity was born!!
