I thought the ABCtales.com had folded or something years ago

I think they had a wobble a few years ago when the Founder retired but a bunch of them got together to save it, and I'm glad they did :-)

Philip Whiteland | 3394 comments To quote from the rather nice comment I've had about it:

"I'm sick to the back teeth of hearing about 'the virus' but we're all, me included, going to be drawing inspiration from it for some time yet and you brought humour to a difficult and sensitive subject absolutely perfectly and it's not often you'll see me putting two damned adverbs together.



The writing is tiight and flowing, the story is good, the characters are brimming with lifein a dathly setting and it's ...just great. Loved it. "

message 134: by Philip (new)

Philip Whiteland | 3394 comments I must admit, without being big-headed about it, that I thought it was probably good enough to win one of their 'Cherry' awards, but apparently not. Hey ho! :-)

Philip Whiteland | 3394 comments A new Packham and India story. It's Packham's birthday, so it seems a little unfair that he's spending it doing hard sums!
