Well, I went surfing, and I found myself on...
WritersNet
Moly (Bethlehem Fiasco)
And here, they've used a quote from my 2nd book 'The Bethlehem Fiasco', to head the page!
"Is there a right end of a camel for your head to be in?"
I think that's amazing. There are some really nice pictures of camels too :-)

Guide to 'Rage' 5 - Euristhos, Euryales and Iolus
Japan and Sri Lanka, Hello! Japan is definitely a new hit :-)
Euristhos, Euryales and Iolus - the fallguys.
There has to be someone to do the dirty work, there has to be someone who you can rely on to be stupid.
Iolus is the boss, he gets his orders from Plagamus and does as he's told, hoping in the end for some glory and profit.
Euristhos and Euryales are the stupid twins. Euryalesis the stupidest, there's even a scene where his head is so empty that the music from his walkman is louder in a room when he's wearing it...the empty space amplifies the sound.
In 'Man by a tree', it was the two following hobgoblins, Sniff and Grint. In 'Bethlehem Fiasco', it was the three thieves, and in 'Rage of Atlantis', it's these guys. Read what happens to them, they are a core to the whole action....they ARE the action.

Guide to 'Rage' 4 - Kang Dee
Kang Dee is the sole 'alien' in the Atlantean society who has some power, due to her ancestral right of command over the Letherians (huge monsters of the sea). Her race, the dolphins, represent every type of prejudiced group which ever existed: skin colour, cultural difference, disability. Saying this, it is the dolphin race who not only holds the answer to humanity's problem (the lack of intelligence in human DNA) but they also survive the 'rage' of God to de-evolve into the lovable rogues we know today. I could go on about prejudice, etc. but hey, it's late.
It's really surprising who reads this blog. Not much interest, but what there is, is spread right across the globe :-) Thanks.
If you can, get a hold of 'Rage of Atlantis', you just might like it.

Guide to 'Rage' 3 - Oediouspelus + Plagamus
Oediouspelus and Plagamus are a mix of many politicians. There are two main figures for each, though they are also parts of others, too.
(I've had to censor this post, as all stories are fiction and not based on real people or events, etc. :-) Yeah, right.
Oediouspelus...
First and foremost, Oediouspelus is ......, a Prime Minister and a 'man of the people'. He is the only PM in .......... history who uses informal speech. He also treats his citizens like goldfish with short attention spans, and for his followers, he's not far off. For example, only a week ago, he blamed the EU for getting us in this needed huge loan mess with the IMF. What he forgot to say was that he was the one who got his country into the bad situation with the EU in the first place, therefore losing all financial backing from the EU, and getting the country into deep shit with the IMF.
Secondly, Oediouspelus is ..........., the man who walked away from a very stinky historical event. His father was not only President, but also Head of 'a special operations force'. And he always had his hands in the oil business. Something went on there, I'm telling ya. And he walks away a 'hero'. Are people dumb or what?
Plagamus...
Firstly, Plagamus is ............, ex-President, accused of genocide in a war. Trials are still ongoing for some former leaders.
Secondly, Plagamus is ........., a resigned President. The reason he resigned? It was found that his dissertation was in fact a 100% word-for-word translated copy of a dissertation by someone else. So, after receiving his degree, he had 20 years of rising up in the ranks of sports committees and politics, all based on a lie.
In my book 'Rage' Oediouspelus and Plagamus make a deal with Satan for immortality, something he can't actually give...

Brave New World (Aldous Huxley)
Have to read Brave New World for about the fifth time in my life, which is not a bad thing, and I realised that there are HUGE similarities between this fantastic piece of writing and my 3rd effort 'Rage of Atlantis'. The only difference (other than in writing proficiency) is that Huxley set his Utopia criticising the present in the future, and I sent it right back to the beginning of humanity. I'm quite happy I have a book like this. If you're going to 'copy' an idea, choose a great book to do it with. It wasn't planned, I just thought that it was the best way to criticise the things that have happened in our society in the last decade/year, things that people just take for granted, terror, prejudice, progress.
So, comparisons can be made. Of course, Huxley's in another class.

Guide to 'Rage' 2 - Population Project Centre
Second part...the Population Project Centre...very similar to Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World', really. Two Directors, Dreus and Creus, twins from the same tube, are in charge of keeping control of the population growth, and in which way it should continue in the future. Plagamus tries every year to enter the 'Project', but his DNA 'score' is the lowest on record. Dreus and Creus come from a long line of Directors/Scientists who know the ultimate truth - that there is a power higher than humanity, living in a place different to physical reality. These Directors have the responsibility of keeping the population's DNA 'good' for the vehicles used by the souls for the experience of physical reality. They also know that dolpin DNA was mixed with 'monkey' DNA millions of years ago to keep the intelligence within the human race, as it was almost bred out by those monkeys who thought beauty, selfishness, strength and being No.1 were the only things needed to live. I could go on...they 'grow' humans in the Population Project Centre according to instructions from 'above'.

Guide to 'Rage' 1 - the Auditor
Think I'll start a guide to 'Rage'. I've started reading it again and it's FULL of interesting ideas, NEW concepts and strange characters.
The Auditor - before the time of Graham the Grim Reaper, there was a more simple system in place, where Gabriel the angel took souls, and Satan's little hobgoblins took what he didn't. The Auditor was a 'book-keeper' for the Overlords, to check on profit levels. The Auditor was also available to both 'sides' to check on progress. Satan took him in, befriended him, and so the Auditor helped Satan do as he wished. Sadly, all things must come to an end, and so...well, Graham takes over some million or so years later, when the system gets back on its feet.
