Well, I have been working like a fool to get ready the next adventure of Sir Butt and I believe I am very close.  I shall run my draft past the publishing editor and of course he will want to change everything.  And after I have done all of that and he approves, he will pass it on to someone who knows nothing about prose and good taste and they will want it changed again.

And since I am being paid so very dearly for this, I will change it again, and it will look very much like what I delivered to the publishing editor in the first place and then…..AND THEN…..you shall be given the story, one day at a time, just like the last two stories.

In my mind, this is the best one yet and I sure hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it.  For those of you who like to read between the lines you will be a bit disappointed.  But for the rest of you out for pure entertainment you should get a kick out of it.

Of course it is rated “G” for good, but you might want to read it yourself, in its entirety before allowing your children to read it, or for you to read it to them.

Violence?  YES…two dragons are sliced to smithereens.

Vulgarity?  I CAN”T REMEMBER, but I don’t think so.

Sexual Innuendos?  Only one mention of a Fair Maiden.

Drinking and Alcohol?  YES…LOTS AND LOTS!

Smoking?  Only from camp fires.

Brutality towards pets?  NO!

The story does tell you what the edges of Common Ground look like.  That should keep you coming back to read more and more.

So, when it begins I hope each of you come back daily and check it out.  I will probably leave you hanging in suspense occasionally, but it will be worth the wait.

No matter.  I just had fun writing it and if nobody reads it, that’s ok too.
