Thanks for the kind words and encouragement, Arthur - I really appreciate it. I am so touched by that reader's comment to you. It's so inspiring to see other people who benefit from our labour - not to mention the fellow who posted all your work to the dark web...truly astounding.

In the end, that's what it's all about. We don't write in a vacuum but as Faulkner said we write not for fame or fortune
and least of all for profit, but to create out of the materials of the human spirit something which wasn't there before. Posting daily on line keeps my creative juices flowing - of course, I can't market this as a published work afterwards, but it serves a purpose for the time being.

Thanks again, Alex, for taking the time to reach out and share.
