The earliest chapters of my story were entered into a writing contest last year, but they sadly proved to be unsuccessful.
The dear tale was sorely chastened and crept into a corner near as dark as the one pictured above. Its small heart ached and it grieved quite piteously, because you see, it had a most tender heart - far too easily bruised.
And then it fell asleep and from somewhere deep in dreamland, a belief was born that these stories of the 'Bizarre wee Beasties' deserved to be found - and not just by children. And like the saying in the picture above - 'it doesn't end here'. And the belief in a new set of brave beginnings was born.
Like all good dreams, this one began by dusting off the cobwebs; pumping itself back into top health and entertainment levels; checking here and nipping some there; adding some (better) stuff AND new, additional characters - and absolutely everywhere, polishing the whole story to its shiniest possible best at this point in time.
And then came a blight upon our beautiful world, causing great loss and harm and pain to the peoples of the world. In the enforced solitude, many rediscovered the many charms of reading - silently to oneself or aloud to others - especially children and the less able and the elderly - and... and... well, anyone at all, actually! Why ever limit yourself? I try not to.
And as for my - BIZARRE WEE BEASTIES - come check them out in the pages that follow.
I am reworking each chapter and then posting them first on my own website -

Wherever you find them, they will all be free to read. I believe I've made them equally appealing to the reader and the listener, as all manner of subtle
