  1. Congratulations to GA for 15 active years. As a member for the last 8 years and a reader before that, I remember well the pleasure of being invited, by Cia, to join, and the early encouragement from Anytasunday, Lugh and Marzipan which meant so much. Beyond the pleasure provided for so many readers, and arguably even more significant, GA has been an online presence where young people (and not so young) with doubts and questions about themselves could find affirmation and support, from the positive attitudes in so many stories, and directly from the community of GA. Long may this continue.
  2. The Aussie paperback version of MPARNTWE is now published. The next step is the worldwide and Kindle versions. Blog: https://diasporatales.net
  3. LOTR by a long way. And I often pronounce it to the world when I wear my shirt which says, 'My other shirt is mithril'.
  4. YAY! The proof copy of MPARNTWE arrived this morning by special delivery. One last check through and the Aussie version will be printed. Holding that first physical copy is a very special moment.
  5. lol - I liked all those kookaburras. And, since my birthday is on the 29th, you can consider your birthday greets as being on time - It's not your fault that we're a day ahead of you here in Aus. Hmm! Now you've got me intrigued. Cia's greeting sure had a big WOW factor but it has a special significance as well?? - Please elaborate. THANKS FROM DOWNUNDER! Palantir
  6. There is one of these berm homes in my town and it's absolutely wonderful. It consists of two concrete domes covered with a meter and a half (about 5 feet) of earth. In the depth of winter when there is frost outside the internal temperature doesn't drop below 18 degrees C (64 F) and in the summer it doesn't exceed 22 degrees C (71 F) even when it's 40 C plus (104 F) outside. When we were threatened by terrible bushfires a number of years ago it was the only dwelling that didn't have any real worry. - as I said - wonderful. Lol - Since I'm a LOTR fan it has even more attraction.
  7. Here's a great big public thank you to: Columbus Guy, Brian M, Dathi and Wolflady for their kind comments which have helped with the process of getting MPARNTWE published. Want to see what they said? - check the back cover image in my DIASPORA gallery. The proof copy for the Australian version should arrive this coming week.
  8. HAVE A GREAT DAY, BILL!!!
  9. BEST WISHES FOR A GREAT DAY!
  10. HAVE A GREAT DAY!!
  11. Thanks for posting this, Horn. I don't know how those viewers were chosen but their responses surely indicate a wonderful change in general attitudes.
  12. MPARNTWE, the second story in the Diaspora series is now well and truly on track for publishing. Two days ago I received the final proofed ms (Yay! ) - only cover design and typesetting to go.
  13. A great old classic which I believe is being made into a feature film.
  14. I agree, Ron. The 'Tawny Man' series is my pick of all her series - breathtaking in scope and insight.
