Have you ever asked yourself "Who am I" and "what I am doing here" ? I asked myself a couple of times but could not find the answer. Please take your time in answering. Go home and ask yourself before answering. I found myself feeling all alone and got a strange kind of feeling. Thanks to all for your help.

Would anybody know how I would find history on my surname, I have tried in the past to google my name for any information, but of course it being a common english word as well as my surname it brings up to many to search through. Or if anybody has a website where I could do some searching for the meaning of the name, country of origin etc?

I have just read book eleven, Knife of Dreams, and I found it plodding. To be perfectly honest, after book six, it just got complication upon complication for me. There is still more than enough magic to read on and buy the next damn book, but I really do not feel Jordan is still in the Light. Do you think we are stupid to fall for his money making scheme? Or is it just not possible to end the world in any meaningful way any shorter?

Tears indicate height of emotion. Even uncontrollable laughter is accompanied with tears!

Read a while at school in the early 90's, don't know how long it had been out? Think it was about a boy with one parent who remarried and they gained a brother. The brother bullied them and made them so miserable they ended up drowning themselves in the lake or pond outside the house at the end. Bit depressing story but made an impact on me. Has anyone else read it or heard of it

I don't even know whether he is real. He is supposed to be a Chinese scholar from the Ming Dynasty. I am looking for a specific poem or prose supposedly said by him. If anyone can tell me where to find them.

A celebrity author ripped me off when I had just lost my beautiful 12 year old daughter Natasha to Cancer.

I had been in private & confidential correspondence with him and he infringed on my copyright (design and patents 1988 act singularity of letters)

He used part of my life and that of my family as a basis for one of his thriller fiction novels.

I promised Natasha before she died that, everyone possible would be able to read her life through my eyes within the pages of my autobiography. This author celebrity knew this and still produced his novel, which is what I call a fictionography of part of our lives and has made millions out of it.

If I was very wealthy I would have taken a law suit for copyright infringement against this celebrity author, but I am not, so unless you are a copyright lawyer who wants to take this on a no win no fee with a percentage basis payment for winning, please don’t bother to suggest this option.

Things I have already done and the results from doing them:


Corresponded with this celebrity author and his solicitors, bu-ls—t replies, followed by letters warning, demanding that I reply in writing to confirm that I will not infringe on his copyright or put anything out of his novel in my autobiography.
Result: Interesting, I did not bother to reply to this because my life-story is real and his novel he claims is fiction, if the two were to cross anywhere just who would be to blame for that NOT ME!. Lol (lol=laughing a lot) what arrogance!

I produced a screenplay of my life-story together with my American screenwriting partner Cathy Jourdan (love you Cathy if you are reading this) at the request of a film production company that wanted to produce it for the big screen. We WGA registered it before sending to the production company. The details were plastered all over the internet by the film production company at the time.
Result: The celebrity author came to some sort of mutual agreement with the film production company and the film production company dropped us. Take into account that for months the big gun of the film production company had been talking to Cathy and me every day on the telephone, sometimes for hours on end, and suddenly he cut us dead!!!!

I have talked about what this celebrity author did on radio openly, and have plastered the details all over the internet. I even have this celebrity authors name as one of my registered domain names under co.uk, yes he is British by birth, at the time of writing this checking out his name in Google my site is number 8 on the first page of results. I have even left details on his readers/fans sites so they can go and see what he has done.
Result: Book sales, queries by the bucket load, numerous reporters contacting me for the story, who then just didn’t follow up or come back to me as to why.
I sent a petition to no 10, Downing Street to try and get a law brought in to stop this from happening to other people like me.
Result: Reply letters from 10, Downing Street. They haven’t told me what they are doing about it, by all means write and ask them. If they try telling you they don’t know what you are on about I can send you a copy of one of their replies by email attachment. I have the proof of everything I tell you.

I have done a lot of other things but to tell you what they are I would have to name him here and I don’t want to do that.

I welcome your ideas/suggestions. Thank you
