    I've always enjoyed reading the old pulp sci-fi books from way back. Ben Bova, Poul Anderson, Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke being some of my favourite authors. I uploaded my very first ebook early January 2013, science fiction of course. Smashwords is brilliant, allowing first time and seasoned authors alike to make their work available with ease for public enjoyment. There's some really talented authors on the site. I need to do a lot of work to even come close to their quality of writing, but I'll have a lot of fun in the process. E-books are definitely the way to go. Best wishes to all that visit.

      In the Garage Workshop

      Harry was examining his latest electronic project in his garage cum’ workshop where he spent most of his spare time cobbling together various gadgets and gizmos that were placed around the house much to his wife’s annoyance. The last thing he had installed was a very complex central heating control unit that required a great deal of time setting up to get working. But it works! he told his distraught wife.

      He looked admiringly at his current masterpiece which was lying on the workbench connected to various test instruments. I just need that satellite dish and it’s up and running. he muttered with great joy rubbing his hands together. He popped back indoors for a cup of tea after setting the intruder alarm on the garage door. The alarm was totally unnecessary but he loved
