Yes, it just deleted all my posts except two. I'll be using wordpress from now on.

Sensual Scarlet
Sensual Scarlet: A Vampire’s Story
For my daughter
Yes, I am part-vampire, my daughter, and it seems that I have passed on this heritage to you. When the midwife first put you in my arms I saw the sensual scarlet of your strong lips and I knew it was likely that you too had this blessing and this curse. When your teeth pushed their pointed tips through your small pink gums, almost before you had drawn breath, I knew beyond all possible doubt. You are part-vampire, as I am.
All through the pregnancy I had tried to delude myself that you would take after your father or one of your human grandparents. It would have been so much simpler for you. As it is, your life will be very hard. You will be always holding yourself back, trying to emulate the meekness that men still look for in women. You have in you, quite certainly, all the power and passion that I have, and the lust for a man's blood. These are things which a mortal woman is not permitted to feel.
The full story, 'Sensual Scarlet' was published in Issue Nine of 'Title Goes Here' (print edition), a couple of weeks ago. (Apologies for the delay in posting this!)

Hi everyone,
I'm going to post extracts from my poems and stories here, so you can keep an eye on what I'm working on at present.
INVESTIGATION: HAUNTED HOUSE
The story is about two children, Jenny and Ben, who take their science kits into a really haunted house and start doing experiments. The only trouble is that one of the other kids thinks it's a great idea to lock them in...
The light fades and there are strange noises in the house. Will they manage to get themselves out?
You'll have to come and see!
I wrote the script of 'Investigation:Haunted House'... as part of a science/literature project organised by Mark Lorch at Hull University... and I've just heard that they are giving me an advance to write the book to go with it. :) Look out for the play early next year in the Hull area, and I'll let you know when you can get hold of the book.
In the meanwhile have a look at www.sci-toons.co.uk for some cool science experiments from Mark.
