Marionettes by Mike Simon

Somewhere in the predawn haze an Artic Tern chirped. The upbeat notes slipped through the woods like a warm spring breeze, and yet failed to crack our grim demeanor. Since strapping on the skis, neither of us had spoken a word and the scraping of fiberglass over hard-packed snow served as the only reply to our feathered friend. At the crest of a small rise, James, the former used car salesman from Vegas, abruptly held up, and I slid to a stop. Using only his elbows to balance on his...

The Green Mile by Mike Simon

Billy-Rae leaned over the hood of the hearse and vomited a torrent of something green and chunky. I felt the bile rise in my throat and quickly turned away. Unlike Billy-Rae and Merle, both of whom never broke a sweat during the embalming process, bodily fluids never greased my wheel. But averting my gaze didn’t ease the frustration. “Goddamn it, Billy! If you spewed on––” “Relax, Davy.” Despite hanging over the chrome grill, he managed a dismissive wave. “I got perfect aim.” He used a dirty...

Trying to find ancestors in Wales/Cornwall. Great Grandfather Jeremiah Nicolas Thomas was born in 1842 in Wales, exact location unknown. My Great Grandmother Ellen Jenkins was born in Redruth, Cornwall, England in about 1842. Would just like to find some sources other that Ancestry. com where I could continue my search.

Rev. Eli Jenkins Prayer by Dylan Thomas


12/24/12 03:41:53PM, by Harold Powell

As sung by the Dunvant Male Choir: The words: Rev Eli Jenkins' Prayer - Dylan Thomas (from Under Milk Wood) Every morning when I wake, Dear Lord, a little prayer I make, O please do keep Thy lovely eye On all poor creatures born to die And every evening at sun-down I ask a blessing on the town, For whether we last the night or no I'm sure is always touch-and-go. We are not wholly bad or good Who live our lives under Milk Wood, And Thou, I know, wilt be the first To see...

"If You Fall I Will Catch You" by Eifion Jenkins (Seren Books)


10/07/11 10:03:22AM, by Gaynor Madoc Leonard

I've already tweeted about how much I like this book and I'm sure that Ceri could give a much more erudite and considered review but I would like to say that once I started the book, I resented having to put it down for any reason!It's a very imaginative novel and to call it science fiction (which, in a sense it is) would not do it justice. Set in 2084, we meet Gwidion who lives in a Welsh village made up of roundhouses. Slowly, we discover that the village lies within a bio-dome. Up to 70%...

Eifion, who is currently editing and advising me on the sequel to my grand opus The Carmarthen Underground, is also a journalist and author. He's sent me a copy of Through the Decades, which I'm going to enjoy looking at today. It's a compilation of articles, memories and photos of the area. I don't think he'll mind me quoting from 1953:" No discos or drugs, one rugby club dance a week, no drink. The band stopped playing for about 20 minutes to have a quick pint in a local pub. No one could...
