Xion Island Carrier: Chapter 18
The interview room was cold, but James McAlister didn’t seem to notice. He was still. Paler even than the day of the funerals, and the room was...

Xion Island: Chapter 17
I am filled with hatred. And, to my disgust, something close to nostalgia. The flesh remembers things the memory has never known. I tell her my name...

Posted on Wed, 28 Jun 2023
I've been away for a long time. People tell me I'm stupid, but I refute that. I can work things out. This is the third piece I've read with Jam in the title--wow, what a coincidence.
Then I remembered, Oh yeah, we have the IP, I even...

I've never made jam--but as a child I once made rose water perfume--well, I stuck some rose petals in a jar of water and left them for a half term away at school--they were rancid. I also made milk ice lolly's (in the seventies, lots of power...

Hi Iain, a lovely and thought provoking piece.
We are indeed tiny.
I lived on Morecambe sea front for some years, and the ocean is one of my favourite things. But she was a treacherous lady and every year people were taken on...

Rhiannon, Hi.Good to see you.

A well-rounded story that children would love. I can visualise the image for it.
Who doesn't love Sweets?
Now, about this island, you didn't say which body of water it was in? Asking for a friend, you understand.

You express the mindset well
Posted on Wed, 08 Jul 2020
You express the mindset well and the writing is fluid. Writing is about putting down what you want to say and, whether the views expressed are indeed your views or the views of anybbody reading, is immeterial--they are the views of Grandma.

Posted on Fri, 03 Jul 2020
This is the sotry of a friend of mine--not a friend, a man who drank in the pub I worked in. He was a millionaire and lived like a tramp. He drank out of lonliness and put away a hundred pound's worth of whiskey a day. He was intelligent and good...

Your writing is rich and beautiful. I really liked this. And you made me care about the fox, I hope his leg heals.

I love the way this turns from apparent envy of the other side, to gratitude for what we've got. Cracking poem, Luigi I enjoyed it. As to Trump, well what can be said about him other than, Wow, are they all mad? What were they thinking?
