Living in France was great for a while, but unfortunately circumstances changed and it became obvious that it was time to return to England. However I swapped the mountains for the seaside so not all is so bad. As an author I always welcome constructive criticism, through such dialogues I strive to improve the structure and technical aspects of my writing. But I do strongly object to anonymous destructive comments being made not only on my work but that of others as well. Cowardly Mr / Mrs / Miss Anonymous should be dragged into the open and at least give the the author an opportunity to respond to such harsh criticism. I have no such objection to anonymous praise though! My nom de plume "Thomas Drablezien" is derived from Berrichon, a dialect of Occitane, the old language of southern France. It is a reference to the village where I used live, and means "Man of (the place of / at) the Maples" Tom D, March 2013
