I've been asked when further extracts will be posted. The answer is soon - but I don't want to post too much at once!

I've also been asked why I changed my original post where I said that the story character David MacLeod's dream description was based on my own experience. I suppose I felt that I was being too personal. However, it is true. The experience described is very much my own - during one summer's night in 1978. And like the fictional character David MacLeod, it did change my life in many ways. Certainly since then I have had no fear of death. In fact I look forward to that time - but only after a worthwhile life now.
