My speculative books are "Another Space in Time", the originally titled "Another Space in Time, Returns" and "Spiderworld"
I have two collections book of flash fiction out, out that despite their titles have absolutely nothing to do with cooking- "Fifty Egg Timer Short Stories" (Mixed genre) and the originally titles "Fifty More...
My latest book is "In Two Hundred Squared Words", which is a book of Double Drabbles, ie 200 word stories. This is suitable as a gift book.

I have some earlier works, which are reworked neoclas

To get there, I need to open the doors of fiction wide and block them from springing closed with a weight of other real lives. (less)

The Tasiilaq Experiment

President for Life, JR Lotbot: “We need to save the planet, of course, but do all these billions of monkeys deserve to live? Less monkeys, less strain on land and air. What do they do for Dollaria? To save ourselves we need to divest resources by annihilating all the socialist territories. Why should we support the expensive UN initiative in Greenland when a final solution will be so much easier?” Read more of this blog post »

Marsha Cornelius Hi Richard,
As one of my favorite reviewers, I wanted to let you know that my sixth novel will be released soon. (Of course you're my favorite. You like my writing!)
The book, ‘Gladys and the Porn House’ is currently entered in the Kindle Scout program. I hope you’ll find a moment to visit their website, have a look at the short excerpt, and if you like it, please nominate it.
kindlescout.amazon.com/p/1OBQESTCUYAFD
If the book is accepted, you’ll get a FREE Kindle copy.

Thanks so much for your continued support.

Warm regards,
Marsha Cornelius


Richard Bunning Thanks back. Have a great day.


Majenta Hello, Richard! Friend Request accepted, thanks for Requesting! Congratulations on all your publishing success. I hope you had a good week and are enjoying a great weekend. Happy reading, writing, and everything else.

Best wishes from Majenta


Christine Hatfield thanks for being my friend


Richard Bunning I don't mention books unless I have read or started reading them. Everyone has there own ethical limit, and mine is rather old fashioned. I have read the free section on Amazon, and I will download and read your book properly in due course. At present I have more commitments than I can handle. All the best with this book, and your next. Have a good day, Richard.


Lorraine Venter Hi Richard, I'd be grateful for a mention of my novel:
The Secret of Green Hills. Also on amazon kindle & books and barnes & noble nook books
thanks
Lorraine
