My political romantic comedy, "Saving the Word and Being Happy (The Computer Ager)" (ISBN 141371756x), which was first posted on ABCtales.com and complimented by several ABCtalers including Tony Cook, (http://www.abctales.com/node/26572) has now generated many good reviews and feature articles (http://hometown.aol.co.uk/Rericswan/reviews.html). I have also had several radio interviews.

IM ABSOLUTELY FED UP OF READING STUPID THREADS ON THIS WEBSITE, SO MUCH SO I WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU READ THIS AND TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.

... I am very new here and so far I am shocked and appalled by the behaviour of people in here. We may have to rate our work, but some of what is written in discussions is just disgusting and should be rated too.

I've just got my tenth cherry!

Hurrah for me!

Thanks eds!

"P"

can anyone recommend a good poetry slam on in london on a friday night? i'm not exactly sure what they are even but sounds like fun.

Our very own martin_t a longstanding member of ABCtales, has a new poetry book available to buy!

You can get it from amazon.co.uk here:

... discuss writing from abctales ... but i can't get to it ... every time i click the recently added link it times out and errors ... in fact it sometimes takes me two or three times to even access the forum ...

is anyone else suffering this slowness or is it just me? ... it is certainly offputting ... it would seem others are getting to read things and comment on them ...

i am bad tempered now ...

This is a very professional piece of work. It's very long and I will admit that in the confines of a working day I haven't yet finished it - but I will print up the remaining pages and read them on he train home tonight.

This is the latest in a long line in this genre of American writing - which is what makes it all the more remarkable. It will surprise and intrigue you.

It's worth the time.
