He was a very funny man.

A giant of a man Opher: there is a larger-than-life statue of him in Caerphilly, South Wales as tribute to his larger-than-life character. I imagine him to be in everyone’s top ten comedian list.
Cracking jokes: one-liner’s are the best!

It’s the way he delivered them that I like best. Infectious.
A timeless prop comedian and magician. He was unique.
DN
A bumbling persona belieing an intelligent and highly skilled performer.
Indeed, you defined him far better than I.
My copy of Neanderthal arrived this morning, thank you! I’m looking forward to making headway into it. Mention of small involvement in the book is a nice touch, thank you, but in all ways the time, effort and energy invested was yours. I hope it will do well.
Cheers,
DN
Well it’s sold five copies so far (two of them mine and yours!). Who knows – one day, maybe. I must get round to doing some serious touting, marketing and advertising. Trouble is that my heart’s not in it!
Anyway, thank you again for your efforts. They were much appreciated. I hope you enjoy the book. If there are any improvements I can take them on.
All the best.
We are off tomorrow for six weeks! Not sure how much internet contact I’ll have. I’m expecting little! We’ll see!
All the best Dewin – get writing!
Opher
Fingers crossed Opher! One never knows! It may yet prove to be a bestseller.
My heart isn’t in promotion either, nor do I have much interest in social media, which seems to drive such endeavours. Perhaps it’s time to attract a publisher?
Pleasure, fulfilment and a firm sense of accomplishment is found in having risen to the challenge of writing the book in the first place, which as you readily suggest is a joy in and of itself. Of course, recognition of your achievement would be nice, but you’ll still go ahead and write the next novel without it.
I’m happy to have a played a small part and will find enjoyment in reading Neanderthal through different eyes. I thought it a clever idea and a great story.
You will undoubtedly have a wonderful, extended vacation! Six-weeks! That should give you chance to write another book whilst there! Should you find chance to get on-line it’ll be good to know how you’re getting on. Bon voyage! Have a fantastic time.
DN
I’ve already started writing the next one Dewin – a sequel to Quantum Fever entitled Schizoid! I’m hoping to get that finished in the next six weeks and maybe start another. We’ll see!
I’ve just published my next book of verse! – A Cosmic Dance Through Life in the Perverse. It’s getting ridiculous!
Good grief! Your love of writing and the creativity that motivates it are plain to see!
You are a naturally prolific writer, with high energy levels and obviously on a roll: make haste whilst the sun shines! 😀
How is Quantum Fever going?
That is quite a title for an anthology!
DN
Quantum Fever is finished and published. So far nobody seems at all interested. I think I’ve sold 1.
Never mind.
If it was about wealth and fame I’m going about it entirely the wrong way. As it isn’t. It’s about expressing myself and my creativity – then it’s perfect – as long as I don’t allow myself to become despondent over my lack of readership.
Yes – when I get back I will once again embark on the unrewarding task of seeking publishers! Ho hum!
