Foreword

There have been numerous occasions when, for some brief moments, now frozen in time, I mistakenly, as it turned out, thought I had indeed found the one I’ve been searching for.
One in particular unfortunately still resonates in the deep dark recesses of my mind. However, I have still not given up Hope of finding My Lady…yet!

The page proofs are in their final stages getting ready for printing, watch this space for more details

As is my wont, when, as I fondly call it, My Muse Strikes, I have sought out my ‘scratching pad’ and My Muse guides my quill across the page
somewhat in the fashion that the Victorians called ‘Automatic Writing’ 

I’ve never been able to explain it, nor would I wish to. It is what it is and starts and stops when it decides to. To coin another phrase some call it, ‘Instantaneous Verse’
My Muse can also paraphrase songs, create new original songs, write prose and verse for any given situation. She is extremely talented in ‘WordSmithing’ and I am more than grateful
that she chose my quill and I, to be her vessel. Thank you Muse! 

I would like to thank you the Reader for buying my book. I hope you will enjoy it. If you do, kindly tell your friends. If you don’t, can we kindly keep this twixt thee and me! And I promise, if I ever see you with a copy, I’ll sign it for you! Enjoy! Thank you

To those instrumental in helping to make this book into the reality that you are now holding in your hands, apart of course from those ‘ladies’ whom you will meet in the pages of this book,
 (names have been changed to protect the guilty!) My undying thanks and gratitude go to two very special ladies in my life. 
Although I have never met either one of them in the flesh, or even with clothes on (Ermmm! A small tad of jocularity!) And whilst they never will be part of maybe a second volume in some future time,
as they are both firmly ensconced with their significant others, nevertheless, I send these ladies Love, Blessings and Rainbows for their encouragement, advice and their unstinting help
 in aiding me to make this book into the aforesaid reality that it has become! 

Thank you, in double billing order, my wonderful fellow authoresses:

My friend, Helen Wisocki: http://www.innocencebetrayedbyclergy.com/ a fellow authoress and a good and trusted friend for her guidance, advice, encouragement and inspiration in helping me to bring this book to fruition, as well as her great review of this tome. 

And by no means in second place, I did say this was double billing!
