Lets see. Left Perth beginning 1994. Moved to Cairns end of 1994. Went to Canada in 1997. Made the move to Uganda in February 1999.

For those of you telling me to get a publisher, thank you for your faith. Unfortunately the list goes editor - agent - publisher. I'm working on the editor part. We'll see what comes out of it.

Ads,

Poker just "shows up" in your latest chapter. A little poker history, be this a poker forum and all, would be great.

Again, another amazing chapter, well done!

I've read the book which didn't really grab me very much. I haven't seen the movie. I did see Blood Diamond last week which is set in Sierra Leone at the same time as I was in Africa. It is excellent and does well to convey the time. Di Caprio I don't normally have much patience for, but his portrayal of how a slim white guy has to behave to survive was spot on. The perfect mix of implied threat and possible nice guy/friend. It's exactly what I had to do.
