Can you help me make a difference?
Hi there,
This April, I am taking on the Childhood Cancer Association's Pledge 450
I call my challenge the three Rs. My goal is to read 750 pages of either fiction or nonfiction and to write 150 pages of fiction. And what about the third R? Its impact will be revealed in due course.
Please help me reach my goal by making a donation through my page. It only takes a minute and any money you can give (no matter how large or small) will go a long way to helping me reach my target.
Why? Each year, around 450 families rely on the Childhood Cancer Association for emotional and practical support following a childhood cancer diagnosis. They offer over 30 services including counselling, accommodation for country families, support groups, equipment loans and educational support.
Thank you, I really appreciate your support...

IT does not want me to logon so here is my update. My reading is going well. I have gone back to my school days re-reading "A History of South Australia" that I first read in 1969. At that time, I was also reading "Sun on the Stubble" and I am reading another book in that series as well as a biography of Colin Theile the South Australian author. Science was not my best subject, but I am reading a history of science in 100 experiments, Ancient History was and I am ready a book on ancient cities. Also on the list is a biography of Horatio Nelson ad a historical fiction work on Sacagawea the extraordinary native American girl. But more on them later. Writing is a bit behind schedule, but I cannot write on demand so that was to be expected. Until next time. -

My writing is a saga that cover the time from the 1770s to the 1980s and ranges from the Caribbean to Circassia and from Gloucestershire, Devon and London to Australia. It is fictional but occasionally real people appear. One is Nelson who sailed around the Caribbean as a young man. In the other ship was one Lt William Guelph who is probably not known by many of you. But in fact, he is very well known, particularly here in South Australia. More on him later. As a young sailor in his early teens Nelson went on an expedition of exploration to the Polar regions. Sacagawea does not appear in my story but she like Nelson went on an expedition in her early teens. On a number of occasions her courage and loyalty saved the Lewis and Clark Expedition sent by President Jefferson to explore the land unexpectedly sold to America by Napoleon. Two teenagers facing challenges and overcoming them. An inspiration to those children facing their own challenges with the help of this association.
