    About this ebook

    Three in the morning. I was drunk. Nothing new there. I needed to pee, and found "Joe" in my lounge.
    Don't get me wrong. Joe's a nice guy. He just happens to come from Mars. So, we talked a while, had fish finger sandwiches, he asked a lot of stupid questions, and I'm still drunk.

    Hello again.I've added Drifta's Quest 2 on this site. Unlikely to be a Drifta's Quest 3 but never say never. I am already working on a new book to fit in between other creative projects. As a mere lad of 68 I have a good few years to tell my stories so I hope people will keep enjoying them.

      My wife, Gin, once knocked gently on my head, as if it were a door. “Hello,” she kept saying. “Hello. Who’s in there?” She and our therapist, Dr. Sherby, laughed a little about this, so I did, too. What fun. Keep knocking on my head like that, like i
