Just got back from a trip to Dubai yesterday... had a rather full-on time in the 7 days we were there. Lots of food, shopping, sight-seeing and sleeping in A rather amazing place that I would recommend to anyone - the United Arab Emirates is actually quite a "Westernized" country but with enough of a Middle-Eastern feel to let you know you're not in Kansas anymore, Toto. I have uploaded a bunch of pics here [link] if you are interested.

Also, a couple of Youtube vids here [link] (whale-sharks in YOUR hotel? More likely than you think!) and here [link] (dance, pretty water, dance!)

Anyway, uploaded another commission pick from the lovely Nanya [link] - go check out his site, he is one seriously talented young man, I shit you not. Really did the scene from TCW justice.

Been threatening for a while to put up links to the two completed "The Cold Wind" (TCW) novels I wrote a while back. Well, here they are in PDF format:

[link] - The Cold Wind
[link] - The Cold Wind II: Taniwha

Please note that these novel-length science-fiction stories contain some adult (gay) sexual material as well as violence, black humour, lame humour and more clichés than you can shake a stick at They should be considered R18 because of this. They are stories, first and foremost, not just long, whack-off stories!

They will need to be rewritten from scratch sometime as I am still not completely happy with them, and would actually like to remove most of the sex scenes from them as I don't think that those actually add much to the story. Anyway, enjoy, and would like to know what you think if you do ever get around to reading them - constructive criticism is very much welcomed.

Over and out!
