A very good afternoon bloggers,

Great news the website is finished in next couple of days I can give you the address and you can buy oodles of copies of the book for all your friends and family.

By way of a celebration here is another small excerpt, thank you for following me all this time.:

 Back at the hedgerow, Donnella was looking after a couple of moles that were visiting. These moles were actually the children of the family that helped with the digging of the tunnel.
Donnella said, “You have really grown up; I remember seeing you when we first came out of the tunnel!”                                                                                                                                                                   The first mole said, “Daddy said we shouldn’t visit this hedgerow anymore, because you are goblins and you might eat us.”                                                                                                                                       “Your daddy is quite wrong; we only eat the same things as you do. It’s hobgoblins that eat moles and voles and other creatures.                                                                                                                                “So, it is quite safe here then?”                                                                                                                   “Yes, please tell your daddy and any other creatures that you meet.” said Donnella.                                           She went over to where Drake was working.                                                                                         “Darling!” she said, “I think I know why we do not seem to have many visitors anymore here at the hedgerow, it’s because everyone thinks we are going to eat them. I just put that little mole straight and told him to tell the others!” “OK! Whatever you want.” Drake said most un- interested.
Donnella walked away, wondering why he was so distant. She didn’t say anything until later on when they were having supper.                                                                                                                          “Drake, are you really happy here?” Donnella asked.                                                                                          “Well, I have been thinking of visiting my father to tell him our news, to be honest with you.”               “That’s the worst thing you could do!” Donnella retorted.                                                                             “Why?” Drake asked.                                                                                                                                   “Because, Drake, if you go back there, you will never return to our new life here. I know for certain! Your father will come here and visit us one day and we can introduce him to all of his grandchildren when it happens.”                                                                                                                                            Drake was a little angry, he said, “So, you are telling me I can’t go!”                                                                   Donnella replied “Not at all. You go if you want. But I am staying here, so you choose!” She promptly walked away, very upset. She walked over to the other side of the hedge row where they never normally ventured and sat and cried.
Drake sat quite dumb struck and didn’t quite know what to do. If he left he was not only leaving the new home he had made for them, but the girl he loved and his unborn child. He will have to apologise to her he thought. He started walking over to where she usually sat, but, she was nowhere to be seen, he ventured further and could see her sat crying.He went towards her and suddenly he was pulled backwards and fell completely over. Someone or something had picked him up and was carrying him away. He tried to shout but his mouth had been covered over by a huge hand.
Drake was completely petrified. They walked for what seemed like hours. He felt like he was climbing uphill and high. Up, they continued, eventually they were climbing along some very long stairs and then entered through a huge doorway.
The beast put him down and he was surrounded by four very large hobgoblins
