Round 2 of Streets Ahead book promotions begins this week with Richard Dee’s science fiction/psychological thriller ‘Life and Other Dreams‘.
Rick lives here on Earth now, with Cath. His life is boring, writing adverts for cat food and exotic holidays. When he’s asleep, he dreams vividly.
In his dreams, he lives as Dan, spending his time with his wife Vanessa. They live six-hundred years in the future, half a galaxy away. They’re explorers, searching for valuable minerals on Ecias, an alien paradise.
Dan has no dreams about Rick’s life, he lives on Ecias, loves his life and Vanessa.
When the two worlds overlap, Rick starts to question what is real. Events in his waking and sleeping lives are mirrored, similar people inhabit both and coincidences mount up. Then disaster strikes in each world at the same time. In his dreams, Dan is accused of a crime he didn’t commit. Meanwhile, after one coincidence too many, Cath thinks that Rick’s dreams are hiding an affair and leaves him.
Is Rick going crazy, or can he be living in two places, in two times, at once? If not, then which one of them is the reality? Will one life carry on when the other is on hold?
We’re also promoting Dorinda Duclos’ book of short stories, passages and poetic prose ‘Short & not always Sweet‘.
Imagine yourself being lost in a faraway land, or sailing on a pirate ship. Perhaps you’ll find yourself in a predicament, or a romantic rendezvous. From passages to longer, more detailed stories, these are writings that are sure to capture your imagination and evoke emotions, from sadness, to madness, to happiness and beyond.

Facebook is enabled on my ‘sharing buttons’ page, so no idea why it’s not working.

Sometimes it gets disconnected with updates. But mostly I think you’re encountering the crap me and Sally and Colleen have gone through where FB wasn’t accepting any of our shares for a long stretch. We think because we share a lot posts fb was treating us like spammers. Maybe that’s what they’re doing with you? Have you tried sharing yourself from your own page and seeing what happens?

I can’t share anything to FB either. I’m moving over to MeWe permanently and deleting FB. Can’t be doing with it.

I’m only the owner of Streets, and other groups I belong to are emailing me with info, so it can be done.

You can try that, the long way round, which I had to do for weeks, but sometimes it wouldn’t even let me do that with a pop up message ‘this content is inappropriate’ ya really, inappropriate for writing posts! I hate FB!

I’m getting a lot of messages saying my content is ‘inappropriate’, so I think that could be why it’s not able to be shared. I think I’m going to delete my FB account if anyone can think of a way of carrying on the street team away from FB.

Stevie, that’s what kept happening to me and Sal and Colleen and why they left FB, although Sal came back a bit. I’m looking after my groups still here but if you prefer to work only on MeWe, how about you copy and paste me whatever you post on MeWe for the group in messaging and I’ll copy it over to Streets. You may have to make me an admin there though if you’re leaving

I think it would get too confusing if the group is on two social media sites. I prefer to keep it just on MeWe. We seem to have 11 members on MeWe already!
