Sword of Avalon
Continued from part two: Spaemann, Morwenna, and the circle of friends, have gathered in Guildford Cathedral, with Spaemann arriving shortly after, wearing a robe of plain hessian. He has a sword, held by the cord tied around his waist. None recognized it as the Sword of Avalon.

Life discovered on Mars
08:00 UTC, Elysium Plains, the tiny blue disc of Terra visible just above the rust-colored horizon. “I think I’ve found it,” I said over the headset, struggling to crouch down in the cumbersome EVA suit. Peering through the visor into a tiny crevice in the rock, I could clearly see the microscopic mollusc-like organisms. Final proof that there was life on Mars. I wished I had a partner here to collect samples.

Wonders of techology
Hank stood up and switched off the new color set, which had been working perfectly since the repairman replaced that valve. He wondered how he ever got on with black and white. He stepped into the hallway just as Rita was putting the phone receiver back on its cradle. The AT&T man had only just installed it last week.

Murder She Wrought: a new start
This is an experiment. A study to answer the question, posed by this author: 'can a novel be written, step-by-step, completely in the open?' I am going to do just this to see if it works. By 'in the open' I mean I am going to go through the planning, writing and (to some extent) the editing of this draft work, publishing each step along the way, for all to see.
