I don't spend all my time writing web-sites for all the fine people out in cyberspace; I am also a full-time writer. Below is a collection of my writing together with a marketing letter for each piece. All articles are clickable.






Fiction

The Romance of Ms. Nobody
A 5000 word tale of Internet/romance obsession.
Marketing
None, as I was just trying out the idea to see if it could become a novel. I'm not overjoyed with this short version at the moment. Worth a look perhaps.

Circles of Love
650 words, similar plot to above but much tighter, and a better length for most submissions.
Marketing
Only just finished.

A Cure for Nothing
550 words approx. A woman being treated for depression awakens to an unusual "cure".
Marketing
Only just completed.

Embarrasment
500 words approx. Invisible people can cause pain in different ways.

Only just completed.

Precious Jewels
400 words approx. When is a mistake not a mistake?

Only just completed.

Subsidence
450 words approx. The Happiness in Ignorance.

Non-Fiction

Living Abundance
Written 6 May 2001, a new method which is a growth from the main web-site and is becoming the refined idea that shall replace Quantum happiness as a new proposal. It was written for a magazine which i could find the guidelines for but not a copy for analysis! It stands alone OK but I also made it a new essay in the main site.

Hope and Acceptence
An article written for The Millenium Shift, concerning living with chronic illness.

Quantum Happiness Logo

This is a non-fiction book proposal. It's essentially based on ideas in The Happiness Hike, though since I uploaded all the essays the system/method has changed greatly, in a way it's totally new.

So I started writing this and uploading each draft as I completed it. But I included far too many pieces of this on-going, large project - so I gave it it's own page. Click the logo to see it.



How to Turn a Mass of Jumbled Notes into an Outline that Actually Inspires You to Write
A basic outline written to become a Query letter for the web-site, www.inkspot.com. It's only in note form now but the generic query (when finished) will hopefully be marketed to a number of outlets covering the craft of writing.
Marketing
www.inkspot.com when finished, possibly not soon as I'm about to move again ( written AUG 2000).

Gift Card Submissions
Sound desperate? A generic list of quirky birthday lines, for submission to gift card companies.

Above, draft 1, unformatted
Above, draft 2, unformatted

Written in Delhi, August 2001, Buddhist Humour. It's not so good and generally unfinished, but I'm submitting it as it is tio get it out the way.
