Going down the conventional publishing route is fraught with difficulty and usually rejection and disappointment. The free content model, with supporting advertising, at least means we can focus on writing. Glad you liked the story. Good luck with yours :-) Hi Catwalq

It was an amazing story. I wonder if that will work in today's world, you know, peddling your own books at the market squares....
