Ok… So quite a break. Not that anyone really cares that much.

The good news is that I have collected a good few new book covers. Let’s just say that with the ‘glory’ of a certain vampire love story that seems to be so popular these days there are some very good Sci-fi Romance books floating around!

So updates should start again on Monday 3rd August 2009.

Looking forward to starting again! So should see a few website updates too while I try to make this thing look not so much like a wordpress blog… which it is, but you know what I mean.

Yours,
– Good Show Sir

Tom Swift IS the DNA disaster.

Emster Comments: His blaster gun looked similar to Jimmy’s toy web gun, which meant little Jimmy was back home terrorizing the neighbors and Tom was about to be painfully dispatched.
