I’ve been back a few days now from my holiday. It was fantastic, although hot and humid. The 14-hour flight wasn’t pleasant, but I managed to get through it, and we were well-fed on the plane. I didn’t watch any films as I couldn’t sit still for more than half an hour.

The holiday went too fast, and now I’m back. I have loads of work to catch up on. But that doesn’t mean I will be neglecting you. I have a new series written and ready to go. I will try and publish the first chapter at the weekend. As I’ve mentioned previously, it is a shameless sex story about a family in Cockaigne, which I hope you enjoy.

Surprisingly, I haven’t come back with fresh story ideas; I think I enjoyed my time too much to think. But I want to write something more substantial next. I know what I want to write. I need to get the story right in my head first. I will let you know once I’ve decided whether the new project is definitely going ahead or if I’ll put it on hold until it matures in my mind and I start writing some fresh short stories.

I hope you enjoy the final part of The Chronicles of the Ashworth Family, it will be the last story for about three weeks while I enjoy a holiday. A few weeks away in a different culture may inspire future stories or revitalise the cloud of ideas rolling around my head.

While you’re waiting for my new story, browse through the archives and find some hidden gems you may have missed. Please continue to comment, rate stories and email our authors, but I won’t be able to reply. Some comments may get caught up in a pending queue, waiting for approval, so don’t worry if your comment doesn’t show; I will approve them when I can.

A huge thanks to all of you. Your support means so much and has helped me through some difficult times. I also appreciate all emails and comments.

See you all soon!

I don’t know if you noticed, but I had to speed up the release of Three Tears to ensure it was complete before I disappeared on holiday for two weeks. I didn’t want to leave you hanging, waiting for the ending.

I plan to post the final chapter of The Chronicles of the Ashworth family next week, shortly before I go. I hope you all enjoy the conclusion.

Hopefully, my two-week holiday will let me recharge my batteries and reinvigorate my creative juices. I’ve not written anything for about three weeks despite having several ideas rolling around my head. It’s my first ever long-haul flight, and I must admit I’m a little nervous. Twelve hours on a plane is not something I will enjoy. I find it difficult to sleep while travelling, and aeroplane toilets are not exactly pleasant. But I hope the destination makes up for it.

When I return, I have a new story all ready for you. It’s another one set in Cockaigne that revolves around the Dickinson family. It is unapologetically all about sex. I must have been sexually frustrated when I wrote it!

Now that I’ve teased you with a new story, I hope you can wait three weeks to read it. But before then, you will be able to read the conclusion of the Ashworth Family in the next few days. If you can’t wait for my new story, why not go back and read some old shorts or series?

Thanks to all of you for your support; it really means a lot to me, and for those in the UK, enjoy the bank holiday weekend.
