The Mystery of the Disappearing Tramp
Here is a picture of the dustwrapper from the new serial - too large to fit on my scanner I'm afraid, but you can see most of it:-
We will just have to wait and see if it appears on Monday, your guess is as good as mine!

I hadn't seen the full dustwrapper before - it really is excellent, capturing the quirkiness of some of the characters of Peterswood!

I agree, Anita. It's one of Roberts paintings. Does this mean that Robert wrote the story?Anita Bensoussane wrote:I hadn't seen the full dustwrapper before - it really is excellent, capturing the quirkiness of some of the characters of Peterswood!

Good on you mate, I certainly couldn't do it. I'll certainly have a read. Now where exactly is it?

Re: The Mystery of the Disappearing Tramp
I can understand how you feel, Robert. When Keith puts up my latest, I feel like hiding until someone actually says they liked it. So you can come out now from under the stairs, Robert. I liked the first chapter, it's very well written. Looking forward to reading the next one. You must be feeling very proud.Robert Houghton wrote:not saying a word...

Re: The Mystery of the Disappearing Tramp
A lovely beginning Robert! Can't wait for the next chapter! Is it going to be available for everyone - I see there's no password needed at the moment?

Re: The Mystery of the Disappearing Tramp
That must be because you are already logged in, Daisy! If you log out from the Secret Passage you will find that you can no longer see it. I am not sure how long the 'log in' lasts, but I logged in yesterday and was still logged in today. So, 'no' is the answer to your question, it is not going to be available except to Society Members - and just to be quite clear on this, being a registered member of the forums does not automatically make people Society members.
