I am I and who are YOU?

I am Gerrard T Wilson, The Crazymad Writer of children’s stories.

Although my works are primarily aimed at children, adults can and, indeed do,

read them with as much interest and excitement. I like to think that my work

has a universal appeal, spanning the generations, the sexes and even the

continents. I have written so many stories, including ‘Tales of the Extraordinary’

(short stories with a unique, sometimes chilling appeal), ‘Ali-bonkers’,

‘Fizzy Cherry Cola’, and ‘The Witches’, also ‘Forget the Celebrities –

Read about My Crazy Life’ (weird and bizarre tales from my absolutely

crazy-mad life), ‘Alice in Wonderland on Top of the World’ (a follow on story

to Alice in Wonderland, and Through the Looking Glass), ‘HARRY ROTTER

(she’s a girl and a bad one at that), and ‘Jimmy, the Glue Factory and Mad

Mr Viscous’ (Jimmy is trying to stop Mr Viscous from rendering the

horses into GLUE). I also wrote ‘Nursery Rhymes – MY CRAZYMAD WAY’

(my own unique slant on some familiar rhymes), ‘My CRAZYMAD Poems’

(a collection of strange, oddball, oftentimes bizarre poems, including

‘Are you Normal?’, ‘Conkers Bonkers’, ‘Louco’s Preferred Drink’,

‘Sparky Parents’ , and ‘I’m NOT Mad’). There is also ‘Bolf’

(a Troll whose idea of a having good time is eating empty cigarette packets!).

You will also read about ‘Fle’ (an extremely old elf who lives in a fertilizer mine),

‘Fairy Tales’ including ‘The Three Faerie Sisters’, the ‘Little Brown Frog’, and

‘A Christmas Story’. Next up is ‘God, dog and Beelzebub’ (what (what on earth

can that be about?), ‘Greengrocer Jack and the Talking Cabbages’ (trying to stop

a giant Yam from taking over the world), ‘Poor Jane’, and ‘A Punt across the

Thames’ (I almost drowned that day!). Last, but certainly not least, I also

wrote Wot, Nott, Kakuri and the HU BA HOU’, a series (three quadrilogies)

featuring the oddball Outlanders, Wot and Nott.

Instead of giving your child that extra toy for his or her birthday, a book is a

far better option. Preferably one of mine, I am sure they will treasure it long

after their toys are abandoned at the back of that dusty old wardrobe.

Lyndsey De Paul

lynsey de paul

Lyndsey De Paul was the GREATEST singer/songwriter. RIP

Lynsey De Paul, who had a major hit with Sugar Me and was the first woman to win an Ivor Novello Award, has died aged 64 following a suspected brain hemorrhage.

De Paul, from Cricklewood in London, enjoyed several top 10 hits throughout her career including two top tens in Ireland. Her best known song, Sugar Me, climbed to No 5 in the UK in 1972 and she became the first woman to win an Ivor Novello award for her hit Won’t Somebody Dance With Me.

In 1977 she was a runner-up for the UK with Rock Bottom in the Eurovision Song Contest as part of a duo with Mike Moran. The song was a No 7 hit in Ireland.

De Paul also wrote themes for TV shows, such as for ITV sitcom No Honestly, which was a chart hit and won her a second Ivor Novello Award.

Her friend, broadcaster Esther Rantzen said: “She was a renaissance woman. She could do everything – she could sing, she could compose, she was an immensely talented artist.

“She became a huge star but she was also a loyal and generous friend. It’s an absolutely tragic loss.”

De Paul never married but was romantically linked to Sean Connery, Dudley Moore and Ringo Starr.

An interview with the Daily Mail in 2007 revealed she had five offers of marriage, including one from James Coburn and another from Chas Chandler, bassist with The Animals.

Sparky Parents

children's stories, eBooks for only 99 cents each.

Sparky Parents

I will tell you this, from me to you,
To raise good children all that you need do,
Is be good parents, be shining bright,
The spark of their dreams; the light of their lives.

*

While they are young and when everything’s new,
Be their best friend and they also with you,
For childhood is fleeting, and before very long,
They will have departed the nest, and left you alone,

*

So pull up a blanket, lay thunder the stars,
And dream both together of pipes, cloaks and cars.

Conkers Bonkers

Stories for children by the Crazymad Writer

Conkers Bonkers

Conkers is a pastime,
That we remember every year,
When September comes we search about,
To find these gems so rare.
*
When we’ve collected bagfuls,
Enough for you and me,
We rush them home to sort and grade,
Into classes one to three.
*
The first are left to use right now,
And try our luck at play,
The second, to treat, to cure and bake,
Into champions, I do say.
*
The third are left for a whole year long,
Stuck up the chimney flu,
Until their day of glory comes,
I’ll make do with grades one and two.

Cor, of the Blimey!

Cor, of the blimey, is it Friday already?

I was sure it was no later than July, or  August, at a push.

My moind it isn’t as good as it was yesterday or two days before,

Then again, my moind was not perfect way back in time,  in 1972.

See Ya! (I hope)
