This system seems to be infernally buggy.

Thursday, December 14, 2006

Well, having posted, let's come back here for a moment.

In the real world (such as it is), I am a lawyer. This is altogether quiet, especially in my area of practice, which for the last few years has been document review for litigations. Occasionally, to spice things up, I'll help out chums with legal matters, but for the most part, that area is quiet.

These days, a lot of my brain-power is used for writing, mostly for the Spontoon Island website.

That's http://spontoon.rootoon.com, folks!

Once you've entered the site, click on "story," and looks for the Inspector Stagg series (that's my mystery short stories), or some of the pastiche, 30s-style radio shows I've done (three different ones), or the current long-form serials, like "Let's Not Duello on the Subject" and "The Catto Comeback."

Some illustrations by a fine artist, Sue Rankin, in "Sire Relief," with the mystery stories expertly illustrated by Kjartan Arnorsson. One of these days, I'll figure out how to get some more illustrations from a true genius, the one the only Leo Batic, who did some work for me a few years ago that leaves me misty-eyed with nostalgia.

I shall elaborate on this subject more in due course.

*taps microphone*

Errrr, hallo!

I realize this may be a somewhat odd way to start off a blog, but I needed to set things up so that I could leave a comment on the blog of a chap I respect highly. I shall add more in due course. In the meantime, a cheery Merry Christmas!
