      So that's it, David? That is all we get from the Infamous Bard? Well I guess no acceptance speech is necessary for being the object of a stellar Google news review. It's not like you won the Pullitzer Prize (just yet).

      Not even a thank you to the muze's who you couldn't have done this without? No Mrs. Leslie? No college professors? No Witchiepoo (she is fuming)...

      Come on, man - you sound so underwhelmed I want to cry!? (and I was expecting champagne)...

    He's been locked in a damp, dark cellar with only a single candle for months now pecking away at his old Royal typewriter...

    He'll liven up a bit when his eyes get readjusted to the light of day.

    OK OK, I will ellaborate - as a kid I was given a book my my dear ol' pappy called 'The Black Box' by W Bourne Cooke - In those days kids were taught to read 'olde english prose' and the book was written in the 19th Century. So it was fill of 'methinks' & 'zounds' - I re-read it and loved it still, Leslie tried it and she gave up on page two!

    It was full of a Court case with Judge Jeffreys, so I set about a complete rewrite and have placed an acknowledgement to W Bourne Cooke in the opening. I added loads of new characters, and instead of young Michael Fane being executed he is rescued and goes to Holland to join Prince William of Orange. I entered the book into an English Heritage Arts Council sponsorship arrangement, it was read and approved. It is printed by Legend Press who you guys know as Random House

    I have already written the sequel, and am starting work on the third, and I'm doing BBC Radio interviews starting on the 28th Jan.

    I am using my SEO/SEM techniques on promotion, it's a whole new ball game.

    Cheers David
