NEW BOOK

****************************************

I Have Just literally written the End having now finished my new book. I still have some work to do on it. The complete read though after I have finished editing this last chapter. Then Hopefully, my editor will have a slot for me to work on it. This has been a long book to write with quite a lot of research, reading and travelling to Chichester twice once to walk around the tower for the day and then a day looking at the cathedral and places that would be in the story. It's been great developing new carters that I hope are liked. Some I have already become attached to. And Hopefully carry in into another block its time, but I have to really give a rest. As this book has taken a few months of most days sitting for up to 8 Hrs a day working on it. With a two week break from it. That was very needed. OK, I will keep all updated on its progress. Now I have a week of reading through the lot and polishing Mmm not my favourite part. but it had to be done. :-)

********************************************

NEW BOOK UPDATE. Well, I am nearly there, nearly there. I am on the last two chapters, Its been hard going I am pleased with it. I am literally writing the ending. half wat through. But having a rest and think. Out of the last three books, this one has taken me the longest. It's taken some 7 months. hoping to get it out for the end of November beginning of December. I have a name to for it, but not letting it out just yet as I may change my mind.

IThis last month, I have been writing every day completing a chapter every two days. I notest I was getting anxious. So I have had a break from it today and this weekend. But it's not just the book. Its a build-up over the last few months. I had become very apathetic and stop riding, I have no been on the bike for over a month.s. It's getting to me, and I am a quit level head when it comes to life. I am very self-aware. I am fortunate this way, so I recognise my own state of mind quickly. It must be hell ou there for all them with responsibly and with children. I finished a chapter yesterday and then said that it no more for three days and I spent most of yesterday working hard in the garden removing 4 Box bushes that have died of blight. And bludy hard it was to I was as stiff as a board this morning. But it's a great thing to do. Working with nature is great for the mind. Fucks up your body but hay I am 66. But I still have not got back my want to cycle yeat. I can report today a change LOL. And it's not good today out there ist raining so I thought I would write some things on here again, so started a thread on religion and history. always a good one to provoke a discussion. and this and I hope it helps to know that it's getting to everyone this virus. I am still somewhat anxious in cashing it, a full does as it would probably kill me. and I have my dates wedding coming up soon too, I have been and will continue to be anxious that I will make it on the day., can't help that its Natale. and we are all worried about our loved ones. my Son in Spain I have not seen for a long time. And my good wife Helen is still working looking after Children in a child centre, so out there in the firing line. and Life goes on. May go out in the garden again it's starting to Look OK out there. So be careful try to be safe and be well.

NEW BOOK

New Book Update. My fourth book. No Name as of yet.

I was staged to find out I have 928 read titles in my Audible library online. Amazing and I have only sent back 7 books in that time I did not like and had a credit restored library online. Amazing and I have only sent back 7 books in that time I did not like and had a credit restored. And to think I spent over three quoters of my like without reading a book or mostly anything as to poor reding skills. Now I have not been able to read a book physically as to blindness in the centre of my yeas for some years now, I discovered audiobooks, and now I eat books at some times up to 12 a month, unless I have a few Dickens novels as I am reding now Nicales Nickalbe a long book unabridged. Then it accords to me to write one. One then two then three and now I have started on a new one 4. Not only do I read a book but like to take notes of the weighting stile of the Author and how the story is constructed and the tricks as there are many. I laid in bed this morning after having a dream about my new book I got to see the characters, at last, they have shown themselves to me, and as I laid there thinking about a story sipping a mug of tea that Helen kindly brings me up I started to see a story or the part I needed come into mind So far I have written chapter one and two and into chapter three. it's mostly introducing the carriers and a journey to Chichester of the family of stone mansions set in the 1500s in the rain of Henty the 8th two years before the destruction of the Abbys and discission of the catholic faith. I still have some, well a lot of researching to do before they get tp Chichester cathedral. I was most disappointed the other week as we drove down to Chichester for a look-see and its as all the others closed. I need to get in there to get the feel and a good look around as I did with the Hampton court book. I like to meet my characters there and see them. Hopefully, soon it will be open and it is only around 90 mins drive away. However, I have 5 books to get threw that I have acquired on the history of the cathedral to read to listen to as I have to convert them into audio with my scanner. The weather is crap so not cycling at the moment so that is why I find started the new book I could not put it off as tp the things coming up in my imagination. My new friends are The brothers

Edwin apprentice caver aged 17 and his younger brother Adam 15 the painter in the company, Sister Carolyn aged 7 and the mother Aceiln Born in Flanders in a town called

Bruges. Father the master stonemason Callwen Fluellen Born in wales. and the family friend of the company, the stonecutter Aelfgar of old Saxon blood. Then not to forget the Dog Hunter.

So there you are and they're on there way as you read this to Chichester cathedral in west Sussex.

I will keep you up to date.

The days of no return.
A short story
By Graham Williams

I managed to recharge my iPhone but found nothing. No messages or missed calls, so I threw it away. It's another sunny morning that would have once been enjoyed, but now with the heat of the day, it brings the smell of death all around me.
Many around the World celebrated at the end of last year the berth of there saviour and the new year began, as news filtered threw, what was thought to be yet another flue virus, and little notice was taken life went on as normal. The first wave from Chinaquikly crept around the World as we all that are still alive remember. Europ was quick to respond with many lockdowns, and protective measures put in place that saves thousands of deaths. I can only talk for here and is Island. We had suffered some 10 years of Political driven austerity with cuts of 40% to the NHS and the care system the welfare systems as the benefits, and universal credit was more alike to a weapon than a safety net it once was designed to be. Food banks and housing crises and deep underfunding was the English way of life. Poverty was on the rise, and the ugly face of ideology politics turned its eyes away as congratulated itself on a job well done. The chaos to come was on the second wave of the killer virus. This first wave was nothing compared to what was to come.
England started too late with too little, and Suffren from a state of cuts. The world health organisation screamed Test, Teas, Test at the World. Here in the UK nothing but mistake after mistake, and calamity came into sight, someone in guverment whether to save money or just incompetence did not order and keep up the stocks in government hands Personal protection equipment, and although we had invented the venter had to go begging or them and even had hover manufacturers. The car makes trying to make them in desperation. But still, the government shuffled its feet even talking of herd immunity. The first wave killed 60,00o the unlocking began, to early many said. Europ being so much faster at suppressing the vires began to open up. Here in England at last Testing was beginning and a so-called World betting Phone app was introduced that had a little effect as not many used it, The Testing was a calamity and covered with propaganda and downright lies as the political ass saving went into gear, trying so hard not to let the shit stick to there blanket. We had grafts, and experts as the killing fields of care homes became known and understood, as the guverment propaganda kicked in with we had put a ring around the care of Care homes. The old smoke and mirrors came into play. The Mony tree that we were told did not exist as the cuts cam hard and fast over ten years suddenly had aspired, and was shaken and billions paired.
Then we herd in Europ that the vires had returned with a quickness that shocked all in its path, the governments in Europe fort hard and looked down started once again. This Island, with too little too late attitude, was sill unlocking as it turned out to be true to early the Testing fingers were inaccurate, and the test and track was a complete failure, with lie after lie told about it.
The horror of this second wave was that the vires had mutated leaving all the research useless, it had become stronger and more deadly as it swept over Europe and then reported in Italy and back in, china within weeks. It appeared in England at Heathrow airport after a member of staff went down with it, it was as to a passenger that was exempt from the normal tests that were lacking any way as to governments ineptness as we were sill easing the lockdown, and as to the too little too late guverment it came in with a vengeance. The lockdown came too lat.
Over the following month, hell came to earth as lockdown started and the NHS struggled valiantly losing staff, running out of supplies, the large emergency hospitals became filled and the devestashion of the care homes started again as staffing collapsed. And in time all the services became affected. Trafik disappeared for the streets. Food banks that were before the crises were struggling and being to collapse as to staff becoming infected and delivery staff dwindling, our glorious Guvermebt began to collapse as they had no hiding place. The smoke and mirrors and the past lies became clear as the mirrors brock and the smoke cleared from there eyes and minds and fear began to rain. Food riots began, and the dwindling army had been called I to protect the elite and the supermarkets and food chain. In time the riots ended as the delivery drivers fell victim and the food in the fields and the imports failed and stopped coming . there was no more to loot. The nave had been called in and their ships used as places of safety for the elite, but there were no hiding places to be found nowhere was safe. Many of the army and services went home or to barracks to die. Petrol was no more than the electrics failed and we were in the dark.
We buried our dead in our back gardens or in the fields and foraged for food in the empty houses some filed with dead families that we could not enter. The churches to were full of corpses.
There was no crime no looting as it was pointless as we all realised this was finally the end, we just excepted and watched without being able to help the gangs of children roaming around staving as still, they had a better immunity, but it brought them more misery. I am in the house I was born in, and I can see, and hear the birds singing, I have got used to the smell of decaying flesh. I am so now grateful that I feel unwell today, let this be an end. I am to a week now to wright and soon will become fresh meat to the many cats and dogs and the creatures that will, at last, inherit this World, I think they will use this blue planet well after the last of us have gone, better than us I know.
I have to stop and just look out of my window for a while, please forgive my spelling and grammar its neve been my strong point. The how sill that is as there is no one left to ever read it.

"Review of my book in the Sunday mail You magazine"

My Apologies It trends out that a different book by my publishers was advertised A book Called the Life-saving Violin.

Disappointed but life goes on.

Sorry to have misled

To answer the question, how do I physically write with beeing registered as blind.

From Left to right. I have a very large key bored, however, I have been working with key bords for near on 30 years so I know where the letters are and I am a two-finger typist :-)

My Computer screen is long and thin so its meant for writing and the computer its self has a software that makes the computer speak and read letters and words as I write. it runs a Grammarly app on the word document. below there is an Alexa pod that helps with spelling but it's not great it has to be Amerikan, guns they sell to any mad man but Alexa but it refuses to spell the word Basterd :-) Then next to that I have the gib magnifier screen. I can look at maps and things. Next to that at the back is another electrical magnifier Portable. In front of that is My Apple I pad for spelling and research as it too speaks to me and reds internet material Fantastikly I would be lost without it. and next to that is a Read easy scan a read s for me bools and my manuscripts. and Magazines again I would be lost without it.

I write a chapter then do a read threw and make alterations.

then Helen goes over it correcting spellings and grammar, Then it comes back to me and then I go threw it making all the corrections she has pointed out, a very laborious job, for Helen and me. Then I leave it a few days and then read through it again, his is were the editing cutting and rewrites start and end. Once I am satisfied, it gets sent to my Prafeshanal editor to get knocked into shape for printing.

There you have it, I will not go into the lonely long sometimes frustrating days it takes to wright it LOL

Hope that answers all the burning questions asked. :-)

Now you know all this, go forth and by my books. ( Please ) LOL :-) PS Now you know why my spelling and grammar is so bad on Facebook as I just can't be asked to go threw this process, I am to profoundly Deslexsik and mad as a hatter. and Just think BT let me work for them for 30 years in an office on my own,

Hi
Just thought of giving a book update.
As you have seen in the past, I have been writing a Trilogy.
The first two books having been published on Amason and copies can be found at Barnard's book ship in Uxbridge. Book 1 The Jug and Hear Bathhouse. Book 2 Sheep Wasps and the King.
Book 3 Hopefully will b published in march. Its called.
The Hampton court Killer, ships and horses.
It is being edited at the moment and the moment and I have to finish the last chapter.
The Book as I said is a Trilogy, an ongoing story in Medieval times pf James IAll the books can be read independently but I would recommend that the trilogy is read from the beginning, as to give the stores a flow.
This last book will bring all three books together for a conclusion. The Storys take place in London Hillingdon and @ Hampton court.
I would like to thank again all them that have supported my writing locally.
If you are thinking of buying my books, Please think of supporting the great little book shop in Uxbridge Barnards Book shop, if we do not support book shops s this, we will loose them forever.
If you wish a signed copy let them know I will pop in and sign it for you.
Many many Thanks
From a local Author
Graham Williams
