I dream of boys with big bulges in their trousers,
Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.

…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.

Nigel,

So how many hours of work do these 750K words represent?
Which of your stories was the most fun for you to write?

Hi Macky! This represents six years' work and the most fun to write was definitely 'Who Dares Wins'.

I thought I was the world's slowest writer. Why has it taken 4 years to write what you have so far?
