The Bone Traders - when Apple is a much desired fruit, not a...?

Was Google another word for a gaggle of geese?

She had a doll and it was called Katherine. It was the only child she had known. 

...after the solar storm, when the clue to your future was left like stale marrow in the bones of the dead, it took one, gifted man, to ensure that tomorrow was for living and not dying.

Listen to Mark Roper's audio sample of THE BONE TRADERS -- available on +Amazon.com as an audio book, paperback or as a Kindle download. 

The sound of the Haggis

Does a Haggis make a sound? Does a Haggis even have a sound? 

It does in Mark Roper's inspiring novella, TWO FEET -- it throbs and pants with agonising breaths; it curdles and farts; it resembles the guts, the insides, the organs of a dying man...Mark's father -- but, perhaps, his imagination has become too vivid?
Read and or listen for yourself as to how a young boy's vision of a departed father begins to mould into an untold landscape.
Available on +Amazon.com and +Audible

My name is Dog.

I am a simple creature: I eat from a simple carcass. I ask for no more or less. I am good.

I fly your sky. From a height I witnessed the beginning of the end.

In my simplicity I do not profess to know your sciences, your mathematics, your nucleus, atoms and fusion.

 From aloft, riding a thermal, I experience the detonation.

My wings are buffeted by the shock waves that precede the wrath.

My body is pummelled.

I close my eyes to the whiteness of the light before I begin to spiral away.

Toward what and where, I do not know.

Only time will tell.

When Time Stood Still

...On your wide-screen television set, there is an image of an over brilliant sun. Then your television shuts down.

On your iPod there is an image of a mountainous section of an iceberg collapsing. Then your iPod goes blank.

On your mobile phone, whatever the make, there is an image of a wind generator. It crumbles like an autumn leaf underfoot. Then your mobile phone goes blank.

On your computer screen there is an image of dead cattle on a ravaged land. Then your computer shuts down.

Through your window you see the dust as it advances like a Tsunami. Then you can see no further. 

...and???

Swaziland: King Mswati Snubs His Own Airport

...if only his father was alive today!!

Yet another African country falls foul to corruption -- a damn, damn shame. Back in the days we were taking sanctuary in Swaziland to avoid the apartheid mayhem -- now it seems the opposite.
The fact is, he didn't need an aeroplane in the first place.
Grumpy.
