Good News!

Good news everyone! To celebrate the half-way point of 'The Endless Circle' I have released the first volume in print form. Subtitled 'The Holy Place', it is available to buy from Lulu.com. Click on the links to see a preview and to buy the book. I will release the second volume when all the chapters are posted.

As always, enjoy!

The Year Ahead ...

Happy New Year, all. Thanks to all those who have been following 'The Endless Circle' on this blog. I hope you are enjoying it.

Hopefully 2012 will be a year of expansion here at Vilu Nilenad. I have plenty more to add, and will be branching out into other threads, including:

• 'The Christmas Cat': A winter story for ages 8+, written for my nephews a couple of years ago and featuring them in the main roles. I plan to illustrate this one myself!
• A lot more 'Lifting the Lid', including scans of original drafts, sketches, artwork, and an insight into my own writing process.
• Reviews of books I have read and particularly enjoy, focusing on those with strong moral content.
• The opportunity for Q&As.
• More short stories and books as they come.

Plus, I might even tell you what 'Vilu Nilenad' actually means. If you're good.

So here's to the coming year. Keep reading, keep commenting, and keep enjoying.

Housekeeping

Hi all. Comments are now active for any and all posters, but I will be moderating them in order to filter out any spam. This is my right as absolute dictator of my own online police-state, so please don't be offended.

This means comments may take up to 12 hours to appear, depending on whether I check my email or not - but since I've recently discovered email on my phone it should be sooner.

Also, many thanks to everyone who has been following the blog. Please tell all your friends and family, especially younger (12+) readers, so I can start getting feedback.

Most of all, keep reading, and I hope you enjoy!

Follow the various different stories by clicking on the links at the top of the page. I will be posting more threads as time goes by.

You can receive updates via all the usual channels. Add yourself to keep up-to-date with developments.
