• In 1998 (already 6 years into my unexpected self publishing career) I was running the world's leading data storage publication called storagesearch.com (which I sold when I retired 20 years later). Hang onto that thought.

• In 2000 I wrote a bedtime story which featured goblins for my godson Alexander. And a year later I commissioned some artwork to illustrate the story (from the same graphics design company which was doing my computer sites) with the intention of putting the story online.
  
  Also in 2001 I had begun work on a novel featuring some of the same characters in which they use a search engine to narrow down the whereabouts of some missing goblins.
  
  That's how goblinsearch.com was born. The domain name became part of its own story. And it was in keeping with what I'd done before. If you're curious to see how I inflicted that surprise on the world take a look the 2001 launch press release here.

• when I retired from writing about the computer market and chip design I didn't want to proliferate a new website for each book - so I chose this one - as the launchpad for my other writing (although - like all good plans that one had some exceptions).

having retired from writing about SSDs this is the official web site of East Chiltington? based author - Zsolt Kerekes
