I've been busy doing NaNoWriMo which means writing 50000 words in November.  I'm very pleased with the result.  Its available on amazon with all proceeds to World Literacy Foundation https://worldliteracyfoundation.org/    https://www.amazon.com/Faraway-Ocean-Deep-Alan-Paine-ebook/dp/B08PFTTV7R/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=alan+r+paine&qid=1607807971&sr=8-1
          It would be great if when you became old and frail your mind could be recorded and downloaded into a young and energetic body. Or would it? Earth, Mars and even the far off water world of Atlantica cannot escape the human tendency to exploit any new technology and use it to harm others. Yet, in this story spanning centuries of time and light years of space there is still room for innocence, love, compassion and personal sacrifice.
          Svetlana and Davin have taken a huge gamble by having their minds catapulted into the future with no knowledge of how or if they can be resurrected. Wunsev and Tooni are two young people drawn to each other but who have yet to discover physical desire. Linda is a reporter whose intense work uncovering the misuse of mind recording causes conflicts in her relationship with Greg.
          Apart from minor edits and corrections this short novel of 51 thousand words was completed entirely within the month of November 2020 as a NaNoWriMo challenge

it's alright , I love long stories .. and alright , I will .

@mercuryocean I've written another chapter of "Do you know me?"  I think one more chapter will finish it.  I've posted another couple of short pieces as well and have finished "The Frustrated Teenager and the Embarrassing Parent"

Dear Followers, Thank you for your comments and interest.  I've completed "The Frustrated Teenager and the Embarrassing Parent"  so I hope that some of you will try and read it through to the end.  There's a new story in parts about a man mysteriously moved from 1950s London to 2012 which is ongoing and I've also posted two short works: one that I wrote about my experiences in China and a short poem about the effect that mobile phones and the internet have had on our love lives.  

@mercuryocean Could you do people with a train in the background.  If you are going to have a train it has to be a distinctive London Underground,one.  If you want to do people on their own then a contrast between Pamela's 1954 dress and Zoe's much more revealing 2012 clothes would be good but you can do your own interpretation.

@alanrp42 Yes , I can create a cover for you if you would like . Do you want the cover to be of the train or do you want it to be with just people ?

@mercuryocean I've posted the first part of the story.  I did originally think of doing it as a one parter but it started to get rather long.  One or two more chapters should see us to the end.  I'm not very happy with the cover picture.  Do you have an idea for a better one?

@alanrp42 I love that idea . That sounds great .

@mercuryocean I've had an idea that doesn't involve my own conception that I hope you'll like.  Soul mates wander in time meeting and parting but also having to deal with the practicalities of life.  The man find one thing in 2012 that is the same as 1954 and he clings on to it.  I'll need a little while to work out the details

@alanrp42 Alright , whatever you would like to do .
