Hey guys, 
          	
          	I've spoken with Radish management and discussed the reaction from non-iPhone users. They've allowed me to release chapters on Wattpad, two (2) weeks after they are unlocked on Radish. 
          	
          	THIS IS ONLY UNTIL AN ANDRIOD VERSION IS RELEASED. 
          	
          	After that, the chapters (from three on) will be removed on Wattpad and only found on Radish. 
          	
          	Radish has been kind to allow this, especially as many writers have signed a exclusive policy. I hope you can see how much I appreciate them doing this, and how flexible they are being. 
          	
          	They are also preparing special coin giveaway events for Android users. 
          	
          	Please note that you can still access the chapters three weeks earlier if you have Radish. 
          	
          	Anyway, thanks for all your support for those who have bought my chapters on Radish. It really means a lot to us. And remember, if you have subscribed to me on Radish, please send me your Radish ID so I can reward you with some free coins. I'll be giving coins at random to a few of my subscribers around the end of March. Thanks again.

First of all, the news we’ve all been waiting for: Apple has approved the Radish app, so we will launch on Sunday 14th February! (Yes, that’s Valentine’s Day…)
          
          My novel The Daughters of Men will be serialized on @radish_fiction App launching on Valentine's Day http://radishfiction.com/  
          
          You can sign up to the Radish mailing list at www.radishfiction.com to be notified as soon as the app is released.
          
          The app is on ios, iphone now but will be released on Android and for the web later this year.
           We are also giving away free coins to some of our readers!  I will have 10-15 coins to hand out to chosen early bird sign-ups and subscribers! I guess i'll do it on a first come basis. I'm not up on how to do rafflecopters. Anyway, once I've chosen coin winners, I'll send their Radish ID and the number of coins I’d like to give them to Radish and Radish will notify you.
          
          Radish is a serialized fiction app. There are three options like free, freemium, and premium. Stories listed as Free are open to all subscribers. No payment required. Stories listed as Freemium are locked for 7 days  after they are published. A reader who wishes to read the story before the 7 days wait period  can access the story early with "coins." (One chapter is just about 36 US cents.) But the story will be free after that 7-day period. A story labelled Premium is locked forever and can only be accessed by using coins. I've decided that my novel, The Daughters of Men, will be on Freemium and My Life as an Onion will be Free.
          
          
          Other writers from Wattpad and from kindle and other platforms are also on Radish. Some of the stories by wattpad writers are listed here:

          That's about it. Wish us all success. Thank you.

Hello, all:
          
          I've been working on Daughters of Men. This telepathy plot in DOM is leading to some fun themes and subtexts. Heroine is silent and repressed to the point of deceptiveness and only the telepathic oppressors can see her heart. Thus her enemies are the only ones who full understand her. And just discovered that the telepaths can enter into women's dreams. Also found the perfect reason for heroine' mother to exist....other than as victim fodder. Love discovering all the spiritual echoes and character personalities.
          
          Since DOM is on Radish and will only be seen by Radish-eaters, I have to try to work on a novella for Wattpad. Am thinking my story, Pumpkin, a fae story with a handsome prince would be good.  I need to finish it anyway. So I should start that in February I think. I'm sorry I haven't been more active. I have critted a couple folks but on the whole I've spent the past months being a bit sick. Plus I've had some book reviews to do and have been judging some writing contests. Happy creativity, all!

I, who could never finish Tristan and Isolde, because I couldn't bear the agony of a love triangle...... I, who really have had a problem all my life with the Lancelot/Guinevere/Arthur triangle... am now finding great joy in writing a very painful love triangle. Will see how it pans out....ya know.. who ends up with whom... who lives, dies, or gets brutally slaughtered...and by whom. Cause...ya know... Carole, the character torturer.

As I edit Daughters of Men -- which is a very old manuscript I've wanted to repair-- I'm seeing how so much of the plot in the old MS was ruined by preachiness, long interminable expositionary conversation, and my venom against certain incredibly horrible people.  I shall not mess up the story again this time. Although...truth to tell...I am seriously contemplating writing a story with a nasty African minister in it. But what use would that do, other than getting my anger off my chest? Other secular and Christian writers have probably said what I want to say about judgmental Christians and church politics. And better. So yeah.. gotta heal from all that without actually engraving it in digital/print form. Happy creativity, all.
