Been slow doing this but finally got around to it. Continues Anita’s story 400 years later. Have not updated my website yet. For now, click here to go to the Smashwords site. Also working on a new novel which leverages off Anita but is about an alien species with a substantially different physiology to humans. …

New Novels
I was planning to publish ‘Awakening’, the 4th in the Anita series earlier this year. The pandemic is not the real cause I have not. As mentioned in a previous post the idea for ‘The Chaos’ came to me. It is set in the times leading up to the chaos many hundreds of years (around …
Covid 16/Aug
Keeps on going here in Victoria. Looks like we have finally turned the corner, let’s hope we all grit our collective teeth and keep on track to get it down to 0 new cases. Will not be quick, mid December if we are determined. Below graph is for 100’s of new cases and 0.1 increments …
Anita (-1): The Chaos
I never expected to do this, but it came to me earlier this year: a good chunk of the events leading up to ‘The Chaos’ in The Anita Histories landed in my mind. From there it expanded and I am writing what happened around 1500 years before ‘Anita’ and how it all links in with …
COVID – Vic
The virus has got away from us her in Victoria, Australia. A couple of slip ups and messaging which many, it appears, interpreted as ‘It’s all done’. Nothing further from the truth. The graphs below show it all started to go wrong on June 7 and the infection rate rose above 1 on June 9. …
CV Update
Hopefully my last update since Australia is doing really well and provided the politicians and we (the public) do not ‘drop the ball’ we are on the way out. The new case numbers are now becoming ‘noisy’ (which accounts for the large changes in infection rate) and can mostly be tracked to known causes. In …
Covid Update #3
An update using essentially the same daily model as before. I have included the Australian data (pink triangles). To reiterate, I adjust my Social Distancing Factor to match the Australian data, and extrapolate from the last data point. The bad news. I now determine the base rate as ~6, highly infectious. The good news. If …
Corvid-19 Model Update
Since the situation with CV-19 is chancing so fast I have updated my model to a daily calculation. I have also have changed the parameters. For Australian data I assume the infection lasts for 9 days and until March 25th (which corresponds to day 25 in the graphs) little was being done. After that I …
Corona Virus Model
Hey, I’m a physicist (Dr Alan Wilson since 1982). What do physicists do? Try to understand the world. One way to do that, make models. My model is quite simple but comparing its results to the number of new cases in the Australian 2019 flu season it gives the peak at 70,000 within ~10 days …
April Approaches
We live in interesting times, some of the interest I, we, could all do without. Anyway … more writing time. Going ‘gang busters’ on my Contemporary SF which means the editing of ‘Awakening’ (Anita #4) and ‘Raven’ have fallen by the wayside. CV-19 has also been a distraction. It feels Claire North like to me, …
