In this chapter Drustina's ideas about defeating the Vikings out on the sea before they can land, are proven to work.

In this chapter, Drustina enforces a workable treaty between four competing tribes, namely Saxons, Friesians, Franks and Gauls. In so doing, she teaches the widowed Queen Dalcimon the rudimentary elements of diplomacy and how to play off male conceits against each other by dint of feminine charms and wiles.

The Angry Mermaid 56

I would first suggest that any readers read back to Chapter 55 just to pick up any loose threads and recollect the gist of this saga. basically, for any newcomers, The Angry mermaid is a story that describe's Drustina's many adventures as she tries to make her way home and recover her homelands from the Viking Pirates who stole it from her when she was only fourteen and lucky to escape with her/his life.

We pick up the story where Drustina has visited Brendigan to use her testimony to ensure the succession to the throne of Dame-mark and thus ensure a lawful peace amongst the Baltic and Scandinavian countries.

Wheels and wings 38

This is the final chapter of Wheels and wings. I am retuning to my earlier novel 'The Angry mermaid'

Mermaid is not complete yet but there are 67 chapters written so far, consequently I have decided to resume posting the chapters about one every three or four days.

He died today.

My beloved father in law died this morning between 0630 and 0700 Sat Feb 23rd, peacefully in his sleep, in his own bed and with his family around him. He was desperate never to be 'put in a home' and that wish was fulfilled.

Aged 93, heavily dosed with morphine to ameliorate the pain of osteoporosis of the spine.

He was my surrogate father and I shall miss him like crazy!!!

Edward George Walters., G.M., (George Medal,) RIP.

Wheels and wings 30.

Wheels and wings 30.

Just a brief explanation to say I'm rather pre-occupied with nursing my father-in-law who is dying aged 93.

I attend this guy some 16 to 18 hours per day because I am so fond of the man. When I married his daughter, he became my surrogate father and I often turned to him for advice with emotional stuff and rearing our children. He is a wonderful man and I've been attending him since just before Christmas as he makes the long goodbye. Needless to say, all other stuff like cycling and big closet had been put 'on the back burner' until he dies.
I love this man to bits!!!

Entering Fictionmania

I tried to kick over the traces on Fictionmania where I used to post stories since 2001. I have forgotten my old passwords and even my old user name. I don't even have my old email address so I cant go back to my stories and add new chapters. Bummer!!!!!
I used to have over 200 chapters on fictionmania and I used to rate as one of the most prolific contributors. Now I can't even edit my own profile or anything. I cant even use the new formats nor can I contact the site administrators.

In my eyes the site has deteriorated as far as user friendliness is concerned.
