Well, maybe. I'm writing something at the moment which might just be a short story or novelle or maybe even another full novel. Not in the same style as the first 3 but something closer to home, from my 'old life'. Reading some of 'Vernon God Little' and 'Disgrace' for my paper got me in the mood for some serious stuff.
I've put a little on a forum on authonomy.com, but those mothers won't bite. Too busy congratulating each other on how fantastic or not they write. So I'm putting a bit on jottify.com here, see who has a look. It's a quieter site, but maybe someone will have a read.
I think it might turn into a novel, definitely a play. Someone said the other day 'Bethlehem Fiasco' would be good as a radio play. Will have to look into that.

'Bethlehem Fiasco' comments wordled
Put all the 'nice' comments together for another 'nice' picture. Notice the BIG words? That's the main concensus...

A REAL review from a REAL reader - finally
The best reviews are from readers and NOT from snakes, non-English speaking individuals or people with their heads up their arses (that includes those with their heads up each others' arses). Another from the infamous dead 'Frank Zappa'...I know who you are :-) Thanks for buying the book and giving such a great review! A REAL review! 5 stars out of 5.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
We have all heard of the legendary world of Atlantis,- well this is the timeless story of how the legend came about.
It seems that it was all due to greedy and corrupt politicians with of course a helping hand from an avenging God. Is this a warning I wonder?
The political leaders of Atlantis, Plagamus and Odiouspelus (love the names) bring about the downfall of a vigorous and forward thinking democracy with the help of their colleagues on the Internal Departmental Institute Of Transferable Intelligence Committee (another great play with words) and Satan and his helpers. The story flows and is easy to read, it kept me interested all the way through.
Great entertainment.
I'm planning to read this book again along with Dani's other 2 books in the trilogy " Man by a Tree" and The Bethelem Fiasco in case I've missed anything in the first reading.

Parallel posting
I'll be posting in parallel for a while, trying out this blog...(http://danijcaile.wordpress.com). Have a look!
UPDATE: Since September 3rd 2012 I haven't touched that site, I have enough trouble keeping up with this one...and if it ain't broke, don't fix it :-)
After a month of reading on YouWriteOn.com, I've had enough. Even the Top 10 books are clones. There are some good writers and some good books, but they are mostly poor copiers writing poor clones. No wonder it is a slushpile. So, where to next?
'Man by a tree' - 'The Bethlehem Fiasco' - 'The Rage of Atlantis'
Do you see a connection?

Snakes and Pre-Intermediate English reviews
Well, one week off. Did ya miss me? Guess not :-(
Got a few reviews of my books on YWO, but mostly from idiots, snakes and people who can't read or write English. No, I'm not just saying that. The idiots don't know how to review, the snakes give a good review and then give very low stars, and the ones who can't read or write in English - well, they're just that, give incomprehensible and pointless reviews. I won't bore you with the details, the beginnings of my books are still rated quite high, even though the beginnings are not their strong points. I like a questioning 'where the hell am I?' kinda start.
Of course, there are some GREAT reviewers (they know who they are :-))
