My PNG wife stole/misused most of my money, so I built my ‘home made’ house on a block I’d bought ten years earlier, in a village in the hills of Papua New Guinea - before she could get what was left. I have been desperately trying to support my two adopted kids, with no pension, no Social Security, and very little work – companies simply do not employ 75-year-old construction project managers. I’m not just some writer with time on his hands, supported by a benevolent government until his books are sold. I absolutely NEED to sell my books, but I’m no kind of salesman. My publisher is supported by the Arts Council of England, so actual printing of the books is free to me. But they supply no editorial services or sales/advertising backup. Nevertheless, the books are not rubbish. I’ve had some good reviews, including a rave review on ‘Gross Britain’.
This is in no way a begging letter, just an attempt to explain my current situation. I realise also that it’s almost impossible for people living in affluent societies to fully understand my position – literally earn or die.

Man, I couldn't be ANY happier for you, believe me.

DAMN!!!

You know, I read your stuff and think, "This man aint a well known name in writing across the globe, so what the hell kind of chance does that give me?"

I don't do a lot of smoke blowing, man. Your writing is just That Good.

I read your work, even your less serious work, and wonder "How the f**k will I ever make it if the dude, with all of his very obvious talent, aint there yet?"

Good luck, man. Keep me updated on the availability of the book. I will most definitely buy it.

Braid...geez, man. It's been a LONG time since we last spoke.How has life been treating you, m'man?

Everything moving smoothly?

I really, REALLY appreciate your reads and words on some of the lastest crap I've put here. LOL. I don't try to control the length of my stuff anymore, not at all, so some of it comes out perhaps too long in the tongue, and some of it comes out too short...maybe. LOL. I don't really know. I guess the judgement of too long or too short really is up to the reader in the end, aint it?

Look for my words on your page, man.

Again, many thanks.
