Ok, Ok! I CAME, I SAW, I GOT THE WIND KNOCKED OUTTA MY SAILS but I am back now! I have taken all the responses, criticism (both positive and negative) and done a major, major rewrite.

Hopefully it is written with more style and verve. I want it to read funnier, more erudite and sharper.

The upshot is a better novel and more sophisticated writing. I rose to 94 with the other and hope to rise further with this. As anyone who knew my first draft will know, I reciprocate reads and always comment. Otherwise what would be the point of this if not just to put others down?

We are all searching the same, ever ellusive and even illusive goal and I think that we do help each other so here goes with the second attempt.

Good luck to you, good luck to me, hell, good luck to us all and all that sail in us!

Cheers!

Well, as I remember it to be this is a head and shoulders above most books on this site and something that can be enjoyed from many angles. The writing is controlled and artfully crafted with passion and definitive skill. A thoroughly engaging text that delivers on all fronts. Excellent. view book

I remember reading and really enjoying this the first time around and I have come back to give it maximum stars. Clever and apposite in all areas and a fantastic read. I will be popping it back on my shelf for a while too. Excellent. view book

I really enjoyed this. Got seven chapters in before I realised how much I was reading. You have a wonderfully deadpan style of writing and an insight into human nature that plays with humour well. I especially enjoyed the little beating and self deprication of the cynical Rufus. In a way he remin... view book
