Do I really want to be an author? Well yes, but not
the further effort that is required!
I enjoyed writing my first novel and I still; enjoy now I am writing
the sequel – 100 pages so far. A good mate who has read the original wanted to
know what happens next.
He also complained about the pidgin conversations. He said he had to keep going
back to the glossary. So much for good intentions. I though it was a good idea,
but one or two friends have made the odd comment. ‘You can please some of the
people some of the time’
One matter I should make clear etc. My Maxwell pen name is just that. I have no
connection whatsoever with the Maxwell/s currently filling the media.
It was perhaps rather unfortunate that my book was published as The Maxwell
trial started. For that I must mention the number of times the proof was
returned for correction. Matters did improve when a new proof reader was
appointed some months before publication and the said trial.
