And it's hello from me!

Hi! How ya Diddlin’ Peeps?

By your leave, may I ask you a question? Do you really want to wade through my life’s resume, attempting to impress you, with what could laughingly be called, my credentials for writing this book? Would they really mean anything to you? Personally, from those I have read, my reaction has mostly been “Yeh! Nice, so what?” Now, I don’t mean that in a spiteful way, but, really, ain’t resumes more suited to a job application, rather than, a poor enticement, as to why you should read this publication, also, attempting to prove, what a wonderful person I am? If you really, really, want to know, please write to me, via my website and I will do my best, to provide you with the information you seek, at an extremely reasonable fee, it will be negotiable, based on………..oh come on, I can’t give away all my trade secrets! :-)

Having said that, the facts are, at the time of writing this particular tome, I have reached some 6 and 50 years, or 20-36, as I fondly refer to my physical age. I can still boogie an 18 year old off the dance floor, but, only for about 10 minutes, then, I have to sit down and take a rest! What’s that song, I ain’t as good as I once was?…….oh, you probably know it, anyhoo, suffice to say, a particular ‘Rock and Roll Dream’ in America went down the tubes and I found myself back in England, totally alone for the first time in my life and living in a car!

I never did seem to fit in with my contemporaries, or, with most around me, never understanding why my thoughts, feelings and actions seemed so different from those around me and from the 1960’s many have known me by the name Rainbow, possibly due to my love of colorful clothes. At physical age 20-15, mind you, when I reach puberty, this world will be in big trouble! I set off on a great adventure across the pond and unknowingly set foot on a journey that still continues today.

It was a journey of self discovery, although I didn’t realize it at the time, allowing me to experience many different cultures and philosophies from Native American Shamanism, having lived with a Navajo Medicine Man for 3 months, to living with Romany Gypsies, to living the life of a traveler in a van back in England and through living in a witch’s covenstead for a year or so.

Currently I’m still traveling, however, now I’m being paid to do so in realising (Brit Spelling!) a childhood dream of driving a Big Rig all over the 48 contiguous States. Actually, unfortunately, like many things, the reality never quite matches the fantasy! But, it does get me out and about! I have always been able to write ‘instant verse’ on any subject and while living in that car, I turned for comfort to my ‘scratching pad’, my quill being driven across the page by ‘My Muse’. I have never been able to explain it and I started to write what I was feeling, what I was seeing and also on the many machinations of what I fondly call: The Upright Biped Species That Infect This Planet’

After an experience at a writers group, as detailed in Welcome To My World of the First Part, I decided to call my verses ‘Expressions and Observations’ When the book was accepted, I had some other things in mind and as you will see it’s called ‘Rainbow’s Expressions and Observations, or, Only Visiting This Planet In Search of a Brain, or, I Know The Answer’s 42, but, What’s The Piggin’ Question’

O.K. That’s the infomercial over with. Contained within these pages, are the experiences, expressions and observations, of an Alien, now don't scoff, you see at least, having been transplanted into the U.S.A. the wonderful Immigration Trolls have given me my Official Alien Number, thank you Uncle Sam!

So that’s official!

Enjoy!

Kindest Regards,

Sincerely

Rainbow
