My new book, The Fallen Fane is out and available to buy. Well, I say 'new', but I actually wrote this about five years ago; it's been waiting for a suitable slot in the publishing schedule for quite a long time.
25/8/04
Welcome to my new website, same as my old website.
Apart from the address change, this really is the same website. I've not added any new material yet. Please update all bookmarks and weblinks, because the old site will be going away at some point.
My email address is also changing. Instead of @dchart.demon.co.uk, it's now @davidchart.com. The bit before the @ is the same as before. I'll be sending out a lot of 'change of address' emails in the near future, and the old accounts will remain active for a while, but you shouldn't use them deliberately.
