about me

**** A belated thank you, thank you, to everyone who supported me and made the Ed's desk possible. Those who didn't back it, but who made good suggestions on how to improve my writing, I thank. :o) To the many annoymous backers, and to certain other great Authonomites who recommended Muckers to their friends, a special thanks to you.

To Mel Comley, Impeding Justice, who came to my aid when I was unable to log on whilst on holiday for over two weeks, I couldn't have done this without your help and constant encouragement. A triple thank you, thank you, thank you! You're a real dote! :o)

To those whom I owe return reads or promised backings, I will get to your books asap and I apologise for the long delay in getting back into Authonomy.
