So we've set up www.dlpublishers.co.uk It's been a long hard road to get a system that I can manage, but Shopify is the easiest and cheapest option so far. It's not brilliant yet, but it's all part of a new organisation we're calling DL Publishing Limited. As a brand goes, it's not the most exciting to look at, but hopefully we'll get something that seriously works to get some creative people published.  And make enough money to launch bigger. This is the means to an end. Fingers crossed. And I'm going to keep blogging on here about our progress. A first exhibition for Shelter back in March 2024 went brilliantly well.  And we've got some pieces by the digital artist Bin exhibiting in Paris in October 2024, through an organisation called Artboxy. So far so good. Pretty pleased to be honest, considering how tough it's been this last 2 years. Actually how tough it's been for twenty years at least. But good things comes to those willing to make t...

  I was checking to see if this blog was listed yet in the search engines, only to discover my extraordinary interview online with WordMothers.  From 2015, nearly 10 years ago.  So much has changed in my life since 2015. It took my breath away.  It was a delight to read it, to acknowledge the energy I had in 2015, the hope. So much has been taken away from me, from us, since, BUT the hope is still there.  Thank you WordMothers  for keeping that interview. I'm afraid the twitter and website addresses are wrong now. I've had to reinvent myself so often in the past ten years.  My father died later that year, and that was tragic, and probably the start of the change, but it wasn't the hurdle that it might have been. He left me still wanting to write, but life after 2015 was determined to send me over so many hurdles that my potential career really took a terrible hit. So this blog is about getting back on track.  Hopefully I'll be able to offer advice...

 I know what you are thinking.  Yet another writer coming online to bore you with old material. Oh,  and their (mostly irrelevant) thoughts on the world.  And you would be right.   I've tried this before, a number of times,  and it hasn't worked, but this time I would like to make a real go of it. So there will be a revisit to some old material, hopefully some new material too, and yes, lots of thoughts on the world.  This time I'm going to try to be relevant. In my 58th year on this planet, I might at last have something worth saying. Let's see where this goes and whether I do a better job this time.  I'll let you be the judge.  Or maybe not.  I'm not really here to make friends anymore. I just want to get a few things said because they have to be said.  Here's a pretty picture anyway.
