Bullington Castle

dfburrows

Having completed book 3, Bullington Castle, I am now going through it to polish it up and check for mistakes. I am also proof reading it myself for the first time, which is daunting.

I have also designed the cover for the artist; Steve Royce Griffin to turn into something special and original. The book is longer than the previous two books, and as I stated in July it is one story, set in Cornwall and centered around a family of dysfunctional, very eccentric aristocrats.

Once the cover is ready and I’m happy as I can be that the story is ready to be formatted for publication, then I hope to have it on sale by Christmas but will post anyway when the book is definitely going to be available.

The Horror stories I entered for a competition didn’t come in the top ten but I did receive an encouraging e-mail thanking me for entering. Having concentrated so much time on Bullington Castle I missed the deadline for the song writing competition and will search for another to enter at a later date. Best wishes to everyone.

Introverted as a child I would lose myself in books while dreaming of becoming an author. When asked what I wanted to be when I left school I'd inwardly scream 'An Author' Only kids from my background weren't expected- or encouraged- to harbour unrealistic asperations. I became a carpenter apprentice on £2-10 shillings a week. Later I worked in the meat industry despite trying to avoid it, but it was here that I grew up and nurtured my off the wall humour via some of the craziest characters I ever knew. I spent the last ten years of my working life lecturing, training and assessing apprentices. Many of us could be bitter that we never had the opportunities or the privilege's given to the more fortunate to touch the sky while we were still young. Personally; I prefer to ride the waves and look forwards rather than backwards and drown in regret.
