Hi, Hello and How Are You - 28/03/2025

Well, hello there! You know that euphoric feeling when you turn up to a really great party? There is so much decadence and frivolity that you can't get enough of the evening! The jugs of sangria are flowing, Padam Padam is on repeat, and you feel so alive and free from responsibility. You can do whoever and whatever you like because it is a party. You supposed to be having fun. To me, that is daylight saving when it kicks-in. You feel invigorated and renewed after a long cold Winter.

But like any party, when you stay too long, your hips begin to ache from all that gyration, the jugs of sangria empty and you just want to go to bed. Alone. The extra hour of glorious sun no longer holds the same power. There is no wonderment and joy because you have work pressures, home DIY projects and lots of tomato relish to make. You are no longer free. You have commitments. You have responsibilities. And that extra hour of daylight just means time before you can go to bed and recover from your busy day. And each year it feels like daylight savings hangs about a little longer to the point you actually wonder if it will ever end.

Yet there is one more week to go. Change is upon us and not a moment too soon. Preparing to hunker down for Winter. A time for withdrawing and regrouping to replenish your mind, body and soul in preparation for endless summer of Daylight Savings. The cycle can begin again. Just like with all things. So farewell daylight savings and hello nocturnal emissions.

Don't forget to check out the new Patty Love instalment below. The drama is intensifying in time for hibernation.

Until next time,

Daz James.

Daz James

I grew up in a small country town in Australia where being different wasn't celebrated. I was made to feel like an alien on my own planet because I was feeling and thinking differently to my peers.

I looked for escapism through the world of books searching for where I belonged. They were my respite from the real world. Yet still didn't find people like me.

I started to write to express myself and hopefully wonder provide an imaginative world for someone else to escape. This became a struggle as LGBTIQA+ books were not in favor by publishers until recent years, so I suffered the pain of rejection letters until I had my first short story published in a short story anthology series.

This was the boost that I needed to keep writing, to never give up, and never give in. Now, here I am promoting my first novel called Earth Boy.

Earth Boy - Daz James

Alfie runs away from his father, who bullies him because he won't take off his new rainbow socks or his mother's nightie - it is all he has left of her. His desperation to escape leads him to a desolate train station and a Kate Bush wannabe called Daphne.

She drags him onto a train that shouldn't be there, transporting them to an unearthly destination, The Caravansary, a pit-stop to the wider universe. He is stranded in a strange world where inhabitants want to enslave, possess and even fatten him up.

His only saviour is a bewitching hottie called Charisma Junt who looks good in everything he wears.

Alfie soon becomes embroiled in a fiendish plot that could have dire consequences for humanity. How can an underachieving daydreamer, who spends far too much time in his own head, stop environmental terrorists and a psychotic real estate agent?
