Host Chapter Thirty Nine
Another question for you Otis, are you now or have you ever been a communist. Oh wait. She’s not Oppenheimer and I’m not Joe McCarthy. No I’m much meaner and no amount of loyalty pledges or flag waving could appease … Continue reading
Host Chapter Thirty Eight
Another question comes up like the sticky issue in peace talks between Israel and Palestine. You know how some authors give their evil characters a trait, either personality or physically a la Bond villain, to make sure we’re aware that … Continue reading
Host Chapter Thirty Seven
When Otis decided to ‘explain’ how the Crunchies bred, I wanted to put it under the knife like I do everything else when I had a second to think about it. Let’s start off with the aliens sexes’ shall we? … Continue reading

Host Chapter Thirty Two
As I usually start these off with pertinent questions relating to the last chapter I thought I keep true to form. Today’s niggling question is the helicopter, why? Why, after weeks of absence, would HK finally get together the opportunity … Continue reading
Host Chapter Thirty One
Voltaire once said ‘The secret to being a bore is to tell everything.’ Well, he didn’t exactly say that, that was in English. I’m pretty sure he said it in French but I don’t know how to say that in … Continue reading
Host Chapter Thirty
This chapter is called abbreviated. I imagine that was one of the few ways Otis conceded to her editor that yes she wouldn’t make the book as long as she possibly could. ‘Well I suppose I could refer to a … Continue reading
