A Kid Named Joey

Introduction

A Kid Named Joey, is the first of a planned sequence of three overlapping novels. A Lad Named Joey and A Man Called Joseph, being the other two, which are planned.

When the other two will be completed I do not know. As always with writing there are a thousand and one things that can get in the way of completion. At the moment I am about a third of the way through 'A Lad Named Joey' and have the plot outline of 'A Man Called Joseph' finished.

I need to thank Pedro for all the work he did in helping me get this story into a readable format. Without his assistance reading and editing my work, I doubt if it would have got to see the light of day.
