“Tomorrows’ Winds” is published and available on Amazon

Bring back the “Penny Dreadfuls”. I think that the Kindle Singles are the modern equivalent of the Penny Dreadful. So I would be proud to follow Charles Dickens lead and publish my books in monthly episodes as he did.My first books “Power and Peace” and “the Englishman’s Life” have been uploaded and can be read at Authonomy They are not as yet ‘published’. “Tomorrows’ Winds” has been published and is available at Amazon . At Lulu its also available as an ebook.

My current work is to break up the next book Tomorrows’ Tides” into several episodes and to publish then as Kindle Singles. So far I’ve completed two “The Growth of Knowledge” and “The Place of God”. There are three more to do. “Tasty Problems”, Living in Burj Brighton” and “Progress”

“The Englishman’s Life” is also being prepared for publishing on Kindle Singles.
I have yet to decide whether to edit “Power and Peace” into a Kindle Single.

Finally the next book “Tomorrows’ Storms” is already half-written and may be broken into episodes for Kindle Singles.

Living Concept for Brighton West Beach, incl Portslade and Shoreham harbour

Living Concept for Brighton West Beach, incl Portslade and Shoreham harbour

Shoreham Port Authority have published their proposals for doing something at Shoreham Harbour. Regretably they can’t get agreement between Brighton and Hove City Council and Adur District Council and West Sussex County Council and SEEDA. So we need to help them.

Personally I’d like to see something like this:

[singlepic id=13 w=320 h=240 float=]

1. A mass transit system running on a bridge over the Harbour entrance and linking Shoreham Airport with the centre of Brighton

2. A pedestrian-only mini town on Brighton West Beach, with housing, hotels, offices, school(s), medical centre, university, entertainment facilities, restaurants and cafes, Olympic size swimming pool.

The finance for all this is centred on the capability of the Shoreham Port Authority to recover land from the sea to the south of the harbour. Their Phase 3 is just this. It creates a new piece of land approximately 1200 metres long by 400-800 metres wide. The mass transit system is necessary as there’s no other way to get the volume of people into and out of West Beach Town. So the land sales or leases need to cover the cost of this bridge and the links to the airport and to Brighton City.

We don’t want any height restrictions, we want exciting architecture, maybe including a floating pier as suggested in place of the West Pier. Then it’s upto the individual developers to fund their projects.

The benefits of this project will be:
– a huge jolt in the arm for the housing market
– a solution to part of the transport problem in Brighton
– a visitor attraction in its own right bringing more people into Brighton
– a boost to the success of the airport
– a huge raft of new jobs for all sectors of the community
