Eeek! Arg!!! I am not ready – not ready at all – eeek eek ek – of course this might be my problem with scifi stories – I’m never ready am I? I always get obsessed with researching the world and history and never write anything – well this time I have too! 30 days […]
I wither inside everytime I see the bueaty that was him – its there is a thousand faces – ever generation he is there – in personality, in body motion, in face and yet none are him. I look, befriend and cherish each I find but none are a perminate salve to the wound he […]
Ok so I know how The Punk becomes and survives being Queen Elizabeth the First of England but how do I get around the fact she has to die and be laid out etc… Well with some help from the Careys and a few others she manages to make a plaster bust/ hands etc… of […]

Then she had Henry (called Henry interestingly enough!) and around the time he was […]
As part of my research I am watching films/dramas and documentaries from the Elizabethan time period – which is nescassary as my main character is Queen Elizabeth the First – but what I also need is back ground on the Tudor period of history completely as obviously the desception of the Punk occures when Elizabeth […]
