PROJECTOR
Philip M Gilliver
Word. Bullies are evil and they are everywhere, and they have to die. The thing in his head says so.

POISON
One
It was a fine June morning when I finally decided to kill Carl Harper.
I recall blue tits pecking at the bacon rind that my mother left by the garden pond. In fact there was something completely Snow White about that day. The sun had been shining more successfully than earlier that season and when you opened the window the sweet aroma of honeysuckle met...

New year, new beginings.
I don’t know if anybody every comes here, if you have dropped by thanks for that. Well, where do I start? The first children’s book to be published ‘Jurassic Mark and the Magic of Lucille’ is out around October and I’m very excited about that. I have seen some of the illustrations for it and I think they are marvelous. Book 2 in the series ‘Jurassic Mark and...

Coming to children in the New Year
As there might be legal implications I might need to change the title of my first ‘Jurassic Mark’ book for children, because of the famous dinosaur movie franchise. Hopefully I will be able to keep the title. As Monty Python once put it, ‘during the meanwhilst…’ here is something completely different. A wee snippet of book 1, Jurassic Mark and the Magic of...

Projekta - Chapters One,Two and Three.
Something new I’m working on. As a change from my usual comedy fantasy I am writing something of a dark humour nature.
One It was a fine June morning when I decided to kill my brother. There were blue tits pecking at the bacon rind that my mother had left by the pond in the garden as I recall. The sun was shining more successfully than it had been lately and when you opened the window...

THE YARTANG SHOPPING EMPIRE
BY PHILIP GILLIVER
Chapter 1 ü WHEN it comes to believing in life on other planets, the people of the planet called Earth fall into three major categories. For instance, there are those who believe that man is the most important being ever to have drawn breath, therefore we must be absolutely alone in the universe, and so there is no possibility in the slightest of...

Up to my knees in Yartangs
After finally, and for me it was a very BIG finally, finishing my mighty epic ‘Dreamspiller’ I have turn my face backwards slightly to work on my next effort, a rewrite of ‘The Yartang Shopping Empire Invasion.’
