of
Far from the Spaceports (Far from the Spaceports, #1):
"Far from the Spaceports is a refreshing blend of science fiction and detective mystery that hooked me from the first chapter. Richard Abbott paints the Scilly Isles an asteroid community far beyond Mars with such vivid detail that I could almost hear"

Hi Daphne, good to hear from you :) No I hadn't heard of this but will check out the web link you gave. Hope all's well

Hi Richard.Wondering if you are familiar with SASA = Save Ancient Studies Alliance. There is soon to be an online event to assemble Ancient Studies scholars who are not members of an academic institution (perhaps because the latter don't consider them to be scholars). See "events" at saveancientstudies-dot-org

Thanks for your comment on Frankenstein in Baghdad. Upon reflection, I think I'll read your story instead, Lady of the Lions !

My current work in progress is set rather earlier, near the end of the Neolithic age here in England, but it's a long way off completion yet...
Richard, I just wanted to say that I sampled Milk and Honeyed Land. It'a truly fantastic. You have a way with narrative and dialogue that plunged me immediately into prehistoric times. And that cliff-hanger - naughty (and clever) of you ! I shall have more :-)
Likewise, CJ. I know nothing about Florida but the picture of your house looks lovely.Richard
C.J. HeckHello Richard!
What a pleasure it is to be friends with you. I look forward to reading your work. Thank you and best wishes to you.
My warmest regards,
CJ
