ONCE UPON A TIME IN MORNINGSIDE - my childhood biography story

Here are some pages from one of the new projects I am doing. ONCE UPON A TIME IN MORNINGSIDE - which is a bit of a joke title, a play on those two films with similiar titles, know the ones i mean? But its an apt title also, as the book is my first autobiographical one, set in my childhood in Scotland. 'Morningside' is the area of Edinburgh i grew up in and a lovely place. The book is all set in the local area i grew up in, anecdotes from then, mixed with some rather poetic reflections from the adult me, hovering around in time-bending fashion. The art is by lovely Swedish man Axel Trumpfheller http://at73.se/

WE ARE ACTIVELY SEARCHING FOR A PUBLISHER FOR THIS BOOK NOW

I decided to put some the words into SCOTS spelling, like DIDNAE, instead of DID NOT, to reflect the way that most kids actually spoke then. Though back then it was STILL considered uncouth to speak in Scots. Thankfully nowadays its more accepted. For those of you who dont know what SCOTS is: basically its the version of OLD English that people in Scotland and the north of England spoke, starting from around 7th/8th/centuries (800AD, lets say). It developed over hundreds of years to become quite different from modern English, so that nowadays most people from the south of the UK cannot understand most SCOTS words, apart from WEE or BONNIE. Though i notice now that i spelt the Scots word 'over' wrong. Its written as 'oor' here on page 4, but it should be 'ower'. Opps....

By the way i only recently became ok with using the word 'project' for my work. I thought before it was 'poncy', like "Oh we have several projects in the pipeline at the moment" - As we might say in Scotland: Aye, well get they 'projects' oot the pipeline. Get them intae reality, ken. An' gies a winch while yer at it, doll-face.

QUOTE TODAY:
"To the Thelemite, the sexual impulse is practically a sacred thing in itself. Our sexuality is the most fundamental expression of our Will: we have no taboos or mores restricting sexual activity. Any sexual act between mutually consenting adults is a wonderful thing - in fact it is a holy thing, for it is the living embodiment of our Love under Will."
