    No, unfortunately, my name is NOT Lance Writer; it's Simon Ellinas. Google me. Over 150 entries on Google and they're ALL about me. I'm one of very few people who can make this spurious claim to fame. Let's face it, an idiot's name is written everywhere. My concurrent career as a cartoonist, caricaturist and video film maker has been very well-documented online. My earlier incarnation as a published writer has been trying to catch up.

    There is also a small selection of my short stories on lulu: Eric Preet's Week of Sins and Other Short Stories. It's at a knockdown price at the moment. And a wonderful short, entertaining read on the train journey or in the smallest room.
     
    So, go on, commission some of my writing for your magazine/website/blog etc. It'll be fun, productive and very attractive for your readers.
     
    I look forward to your call/ email/ telegram/ smoke signal.
     
    All the best,
     
    Simon Ellinas.
