My reason for writing

Well dear reader
the time has come.
To publish something
I have been working on.

Many many years ago,
I started to write on something I know.
Now I feel it is right
For my great work to see the light.

Ok dear reader well you may be asking what is he going on about. Well here is the story.

In 1989 there started a void in television. There was a rumour of a come back just before a 30th anniversary way back in the 90's. At that time I was talking to a good friend about Doctor Who and the rumoured come back it was about to make. This was before the new series and the film.
Well I made this rash comment that I could write something better than what was planned.  I wrote the outline of a story really an outline about 12 lines long.

Well cutting a very long story (over 15years worth) into bits, my friend passed it on to one of his friends, who passed it on to one his and it came back to me.

This friend of a friend had told one of the actors who played the Doctor that I was writing this story and this actor was really interested in re-playing his role. So I was faced with an issue, don't write and look daft or suddenly learn how to write a book.

15 years have passed and with much reviewing by family and friends I can no longer hide.

Another reason for finishing this (though I don't think it is finished) is that Shaun who was the friend of a friend passed away before he saw the 1st draft properly finished and the new film with the 8th Doctor and of course the new series.

Shaun worked briefly on Doctor Who and would have loved the series and my story I would have hoped.

So be ready my excited followers, the music is about to begin, the serial version of Doctor Who - The Virus in Time is about to start.

A little light reading before christmas (and maybe after) is coming your way.

Just for the record - Doctor Who is exclusive copyright of the BBC

So..... cue the music (watch for the posts)
