• Twittering while on motorway, nothing to say, just amazed I can. EEE+mobile modem+Twitter=slightly ticked off wife & child. I love tech. #
• Tune of the day: Lily Allen (with Mick Jones) covering Straight to Hell by The Clash – No, really. Just when you think you know a song… #
• Although The Hold Steady (gawdblessem) cover of Springsteen’s Atlantic City is cool too – both are on War Child Heroes – http://is.gd/kpSX #
• The question: Is there a Thin Lizzy tribute band out there that a man can love? The answer: The Answer! Memphis Water? Lagan ooze! Nice. #
• 26 years later and I’m still waiting for the revolution ♫ http://blip.fm/~2djsa #

Yes, I said Twilogy – its a trilogy on Twitter – see what I’ve done there? Everyone should now rush off and use that word as often as possible, but send me a couple of quid everytime it appears on paper or screen. That’s intellectual property that is…

Now, back to the purpose of this email, here, collected for the first time ever in glorious high(ish) definition textovision is my Epic fantasy twilogy (use it! use it)

The Prince’s Destiny Trilogy… sorry, Twilogy

1. A PRINCE WITH DESTINY
Prince Gar and mentor Marn swoop south raising an army. Death to devious Uncle Pold! Hordes clash in gory battle! Victory! Betrayal!

2. DESTINY DELAYED
Marn the liar rules. Gar imprisoned with Pold. Escape. Happy life as peasant farmers. Discovery! Pold’s sacrifice! Gar swears vengeance

3. WAIT, WHAT SORT OF DESTINY IS THAT?
Gar fights,is hurt, loses, flees. Saved by girl. No more war, marries, farms. Marn hunts him. Girl hurt. Fight. Gar wins. No crown. Farm.

Now if anyone out there would like to convert this to two or three thousand pages of fairly turgid text that includes a lot of extraneous descriptions of mountains and swords, then I think we’re on to a winner. I’ll settle for 49%.
