news November 13, 2023

In 2005 I emailed the first complete draft of a novella called the Goblins are Coming! (which I had started writing 4 years before) to selected beta readers in the UK, US and Australia.

They all said the same - make it longer - we'd like to know what happens before, and what happens next.

I was busy in those days earning my living as the editor of the leading publication in the solid state drive market - where my readers were at the forefront of a new revolution in computer architecture. And in my spare time I had made personal commitments to write some books for children.

In the past 22 years I've picked up and set aside this novel (as it has now become) on several occasions - at major milestones in my writing life - expanding scenes in the original novella and adding never before shared new chapters.

When I embarked on my project to publish 7 books at the beginning of 2023 - the Goblins are Coming! was #6 on my list. I've lived with this story for a long time. I look forward to sharing it soon.

### tentative notes from the book cover ###

Great deeds done for love of family are not listed in the scores of wars. How to stop the tides of war return and live at ease together? Memories fade. Can be remade. Victors write true histories whose meanings time slaps slippery. For those who can read them - olden words send new warnings. The goblins are coming, 1, 2, 3. Hide in the cellar. Hide in the tree.
