The Cyber Mermaid cartoon blog update

http://cartoonnotes.blogspot.com

I will eventually return to making my own very brief notes on the cartoons. I had originally intended for the cartoon blog to help publicize my book ( The Cyber Memaid ) and to stay within the premise of satirizing online dating. However, I now feel the need to satirize whatever is worth my attention and hence some of the cartoons don't always follow on neatly from each other.
Through the cartoon blog she is becoming a true 'cyber' mermaid...

Google search images : 'europe debt cartoon'

I also have two political cartoons to post once I have drawn them. They are unrelated to the 'Cyber Mermaid' cartoon blog.

Lincolnshire Wind Farm Viewpoints with Nowag action group

20th Sept 2011 Went on a trip with Melvyn Grovenor from the 'Nowag' action group and 2 local parish councillors to compare what the eye can see with the photographic montages that have been created by a Lincolnshire Wind Farm company at various view points around Lincolnshire to help promote their case for more wind farms to be erected.

We examined 10 viewpoints and found an additional 4 that were worthy of a montage. There were a few view points where 2 and even 3 sets of wind farms were visible to the eye even on a drizzly overcast day. http://lincolnshirewindfarms.blogspot.com/ for poem and pics

The new Bridget Jones or the new Carrie Bradshaw ?

24 March. Almost got into a national paper inside a feature on dating. Lately I have gone into the rag trade and am probably more Carrie Bradshaw than Bridget Jones.

Extract from The Cyber Mermaid is also up at Angie's diary and online writing magazine :
http://angiesdiary.com/poetry-and-lyrics/poem-stories/i-enter/

Just spotted my book at Amazon - now available and the shipping is free to UK residents so it's only £ 4.50. ( can't do a link as my software won't let me ).
