You have to laugh, don’t you? During early 2014 the police at Wikipedia objected and removed the page there about my ARIA Trilogy on the grounds that the novel was insufficiently ‘notable’ to be worthy of mention. This in spite of counter arguments by readers who pointed out that it was the only work referring to the substantially unique concept of an amnesia that is infectious. So it isn’t there, however, if you search for the phrase ‘infectious amnesia’ you’ll encounter a list of fictional diseases that includes ARIA – haha. Here it is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_diseases and in various recursive loops it comes back to the Wikipedia page about me and then to the trilogy. Ho hum.
Note that Wikipedia now asks readers to contribute voluntarily to its funding. I have in the past but how can I do so now it has deleted my best work? Shot in your own foot, wiki.
Meanwhile a publicist has created a page for me and ARIA at a rival database that’s free here

Cold Coffee Press are running a campaign to promote my books focussing on ARIA: Left Luggage but also featuring my other books here (apologies for the adverts on this site)
