It's New Year... 2999...!The world has been devastated by a series of man-made as well as natural disasters.Only two land masses survive.Two completely separate worlds sharing the same planet.They both exist in almost complete ignorance of one another, until...A hundred years from now, we'll all be dead. A hundred years ago, we didn't exist.Time is precious; it only lasts while it happens. Beyond the 'here and now', time is gone; forever. This is not because we only live for 'the moment'.Times have changed. Things have changed.Everything has changed.The year is 2999. Today is the last day of the year, New Year's Eve, 31st December. Tomorrow will be not only the start of a new year, not only of a new century, but also of a new millennium. The start of the fourth millennium. That's three behind us already. Doesn't time fly?But what of the three thousand years that have passed? Three thousand years since what? Have there only been three thousand years since the beginning of time?Does anyone know?Does anyone care?No-one will tell us...
A one... A two... A one, two, three, four...! How's that then, for a classic intro...? But wait a minute... That's more of a song intro, innit...? And this is more of a story, innit...? So, let's start again, shall we...? Hi... How are you...? I'm Stanski... Now, don't worry, I'm not as bad as I seem... I'm a strugling author... Not a tortured artist...! The thing is, I've written these books...For people to read... Do you like reading...? Everyone loves a good read, don't they..? Anyway, I've got these books... That I've written... I know, you don't know which books... I'm just getting round to telling you about them, aren't I...? The thing is... If you want something doing... You might as well do it for yourself... So... I wrote these books myself... Now... These books... Y'know... The ones I've written... But haven't got round to telling you about yet... These books that I've written... That I'm telling you about now... Will be available, very soon, as paperbacks, or for you to download... To your PC, Tablet, or Mobile Phone...! In fact, pretty much anything connected to the internet...! Thanks to the miracle of modern technology...! It never ceases to amaze... Does it...? A Bit Of Background Stanski is the kind of guy who doesn't do things by half measures. For example, he's the guy who went to Thailand in 1999, to see in the New Millennium. He enjoyed it there so much that he decided to stay on for a while. He didn't return to the UK until October... October 2010...! Stanski began writing in earnest in 2005 while recovering from a motorcycle accident, in the northern city of Chiangmai, in which he sustained serious head injuries. Examples of verse by Stanski can be found on his Blog, 'Elephant Small' www.says-sir-ten.blogspot.com
