Arab countries doesn’t fight and never will. Declining reliance on America, Saudi now rents out Pakistani soldiers (not at all new). Won’t be surprised it UAE also need to relocate some of their militias from Sudan, Somaliland and elsewhere.

Which would you prefer? That your book is read by one million people for free, or that you make one million euros in sales?

Actually, *not* enough people on here or in the world at large read much of anything, let alone big books.

BREAKING: boarding party of police and customs officers, presumably flown out from the UK, board our resupply. I wish they made this much effort in the English channel: we're only trying to supply British passport holders on a British island, with a legal right to be there.

Brian Jacques explains why he does not have sympathetic villains in his Redwall series: "When I was a boy, morality was taught in school and in church but I think that is no longer true to the extent that it used to be. I try to create very clear moral signposts of what is right and what is wrong. The children who read my books are generally at an age where they need to have things spelled out in 'black and white,' without ambiguity. I often tell my readers that my baddies are bad and my goodies are good. I won't have sympathetic baddies and schizophrenic goodies in my books." Should more writers do this?
