As you can see, I have succumbed to the need to try to earn some money from this blog and added a couple of advertising slots.

I have written well over a million words here since 2007, which is a lot of time and effort to devote to a bemused world, all for free. My regular efforts to persuade you to buy books through various Amazon Associate links have yielded almost nothing by way of extra pennies.

So ads it is. For now.

Some people seem to present themselves mainly via Facebook, which is more of an obvious community space than a standalone blog. Nevertheless, I’ll stay where I am. You readers are a sophisticated and discerning group, many in High Places. I owe it to you to continue.
