    So fa la land is a dramatised account of a life of poverty for an early twentieth century Scottish mining household through one daughter's eyes using flashbacks from the sixties. Before you start to read this book I would like to emphasise that all of the stories are true. I have, of course, had to invent dialogue to match the situations, but much of that is from conversations and recordings. I have filled in gaps where the descriptions of the places and people are unclear, but otherwise the stories all happened, whether it be a ruler smashing into the children's knuckles; Robbie's shoes being open to the weather; my father investigating a lost ashtray; and the extremely rare piece of steak served to my uncle. The rare aspect was nothing to do with how it was served, by the way. The Robertsons once lived at 11 Middle Street, Cuthill near Prestonpans, Scotland. My mother, a seventh child of a seventh child, was Williamina Whyte Robertson, better known as Minnie. The family were in a very poor state and comprised a mining family of eleven children. Some of the stories might make painful reading. There will also be stories about my father George Harmsworth who came from Boxmoor near Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire. George Harmsworth and Minnie Robertson married on January 8th 1934, seven months before the birth of their first daughter Rose and thereby lies another tale. Please let me know about typos, grammar and spelling blunders. Family ... let me know if I have said something which you believe is not accurate. (C) 2016/7 Tony Harmsworth - All Rights Reserved.

    All it would take is a great gust of wind to blow the fire towards us and we would catch alight, but I didn't care. Some people are destined for greatness and Bessie Doors has never resented the fact that she isn't one of them. Content with living a life set around caring for her elderly mother and working at the local bookstore, The Quill & Ink, the furthest she ever ventures is the gangs hangout at the edge of town. But when a series of embarrassing encounters send her tumbling in the path of quirky Ethan Gardiner, her life becomes everything it wasn't, and a spontaneous road trip takes them on a dream journey. But Bessie knows all too well that the good things in life don't last forever.

    Tristan thought that he already found love, until the ultimate of betrayal by the one who vowed loving him as who he was, including his scar. And yet it was all a lie. She laid in death bed after birthing, unconsciously admitting her sin. “Oh my God, Ray. It hurts! It hurts so much! Your baby is doing this to me. We should be careful or Tristan will know.” That was she said and Ray was his brother. It made him cold, but one look at the child, he thought of her as his. Would he find a new love? Would the little girl melt the cold in his heart and maybe . . . become the little matchmaker? A historical fiction with pain, betrayal, love, and humor in it.

Otherwise known as Okami/Yuuki/Len. Just wanted to make an appearance. Might add a Cornwall OC, can't remember if I already asked River permission for doing so - but, meh- oh well. Well, that is all. OPEN FIRE- ~~~ Your lovely host Riverwar here, you can ask Cornwall as well. Also, you can call me Meghan or Megh (Silent 'H' since thats how Welsh names works). You can ask admins too. From ya weird Celtic punk friend, Megh.
