Book extract: SlenderWolf Conflicts and Alliances Chapter 6 Red in the Face “At the same time, places known as ‘zoos’ and ‘safari parks’ could no longer care for their animals. Many of them were put down. Some of them were turned into food. And a few were released into the wild.” “If the species were native to these islands then they were set free in a controlled and staged release. And, of course, by 2162 that included wolves. So that led to the wild wolves from Scotland mingling with the newly released captive wolves from everywhere else, and the population slowly increased.” “And the first SlenderWolf?” asks NutJob, “the one with a copper coloured eye and a blue eye?” image: A silhouette representing a charming, friendly woman in her sixties. She has a pleasant smile and welcoming chestnut brown eyes. Her grey hair is short, like a bob, but with some waves and a few flowing curls. She is wearing a pastel yellow blouse. The image is labelled Franklin. Bennie Scott, a newspaper editor, is nicknamed Franklin because Benjamin Franklin was also a newspaper editor. A watercolour picture of a charming young man aged 16. He has neat well groomed brown hair, his eyes are bright blue, and his face has an almost neutral expression although it looks as if he's concentrating. He's wearing a plain white T shirt against a light grey background. The image is labelled NutJob. copyright © Scott Rochester 2025

Top left to bottom right: Michael Rafone (AKA OpenMike) - black jacket. white shirt no tie, mid thirties, well groomed short hair, 2 days of stubble on his chin, pleasant smile, looks like a decent bloke SlenderWolf Conflicts and Alliances Chapter 9 Work or die “In the turbulent years that followed the energy crisis, The Great Famine, the rise in sea levels, and the mass migration in search of clean water, all the new territories suddenly found that they needed a system of self government.” “In what is now Wolfland a local government was formed, and they created the Chamber. The great minds of the day decided that they were going to keep taxes simple. There would be no tax on earning money, only on spending it. That way people can earn as much as they like, and spend as little as possible in order to pay almost no tax. Obviously people cannot live without buying things. Like food, and clothes. And businesses buy things. The Lancastrian has to buy paper and ink. Hence, the sales tax brings in a good deal of money.” “A system was devised to keep things in equilibrium, just enough taxes to keep the economy buoyant, but not too much.

I’ve not really been looking, and I’ve not stumbled into any ‘love at first sight’ scenarios either. From what I can see, you’re one step ahead of me on the man front.” “You mean Dash?” “Who’s Dash?” “Oh! Dave! NutJob! It’s my new pet name for him. But don’t tell him I told you. You must always call him NutJob, please!” “Yes, NutJob. He knows his world history too!

Outside the medical field, BarmyWaffle is one of the few people who has a Diplôme Supérieur.

Fictious - better than a Masters Degree but not quite a PhD.

#scifi #SlenderWolf #socialinteraction #writing #education #UKeduChat #doctor #engineering
Composite image LHS A colour pencil drawing a 60 year old man with receding grey hair and frameless glasses. He is wearing a white lab coat over a light blue shirt, and has a dark navy tie. He looks like the archetypal scientist. He has a serious look on his face and he likes to point out “My name’s Emmett. But everybody calls me Barmy! Barmy as in proper noun, not as in adjective! Though some might disagree!” - The image is labelled BarmyWaffle. RHS Book extract SlenderWolf Conflicts and Alliances Chapter 14 A Delicate Question BarmyWaffle looks like a doctor who’s about to tell somebody exactly what’s wrong with them. Except he’s not a doctor, he’s an engineer. And he’s one of the few outside the medical field who has a Diplôme Supérieur. These days, very few people indeed continue to study after they leave school at sixteen. He works on the civilian staff at the Garrison in charge of the Innovation Lab. In effect, he’s a scientist, with the title chief engineer. A tall man, aged about sixty, BarmyWaffle even looks the part! Habitually he wears a tie, though these days that’s a rarity. He has a slightly receding hairline with abundant dark wavy hair, streaked with ample traces of grey. Although it’s a bit untidy and straggly at the back. His narrow, piercing, deep brown eyes are perched on a bold, prominent nose, behind rimless glasses, and he invariably has a welcoming smile that makes people feel at ease, even if he is about to deliver an unwelcome diagnosis! “SlenderWolf Conflicts and Alliances” is scheduled for publication in late 2025 copyright © Scott Rochester 2025

Men!” “Where do you find good apples is something my grandad says,” explains Conning, “he’s a good man! Every year we go back to Mannin to visit family, and grandad has some brilliant ways of explaining things.” Conning tries to remember the precise Manx fable. And tries hard to recite it all in English. Where can you find, An apple tree?

Composite image LHS A photo of a preposterously beautiful Akhal Teke horse cantering within a paddock. A sturdy pure bred Arabian horse, muscular and athletic, with endless stamina. His mane is naturally thin and barely visible, he stands out because his smoky black coat has a silvery grey metallic sheen. His hooves are white. As he canters from right to left, his black tail is erect. There is green and yellowed grass. The background has a white fence made of two wide horizontal bars. There is a distant clear blue sky. The image is labelled Handsome (an Akhal Teke horse). RHS Book extract SlenderWolf Conflicts and Alliances Chapter 1 Charming or Tedious “You take risks though! Why did you even join the Garrison?” “Horses!” Handsome is so ridiculously beautiful that some people think he ought not to be a military horse at all. He’s one of only two Akhal Teke horses stabled with the Garrison in Lancaster. A sturdy pure bred, he’s muscular and athletic, and he has endless stamina. He stands out, because his smoky black coat has a silvery grey metallic sheen. The other Akhal Teke is the Captain’s horse. Samson has a deep, rich, liver chestnut coat.

Composite image LHS A colour pencil drawing with a pale yellow background. A headshot of a 20 year old man with a plain, slightly puzzled expression on his face. His chestnut eyes are focussed on the camera. He has short dark brown hair with an abundant quiff on top. And a slightly tanned complexion. His beige collared shirt has the top three buttons undone. The image is labelled MickeyWarr Centre A colour pencil drawing of a headshot of a pretty 18 year old young lady. She has long black hair, straight with a hint of a wave, part of which is brought forward into ponytails in front of her shoulders, held together with gold hair bands. She has small stud ear rings of gold. A gentle face has a hint of a smile. She is wearing a royal blue waistcoat over a frilly white blouse. She looks thoughtful and wise. The background is pale yellow, and the image is labelled Slender. RHS Book extract SlenderWolf Conflicts and Alliances Chapter 14 A Delicate Question No nearer the trees than when the adventure started, the mysterious figure turns to look back, but doesn’t turn enough to reveal her face. Morning is breaking. The face disappears, and the hat whispers, “kiss me, beneath the milky twilight.” With an generous helping of grump from TallyBen, the hat in MickeyWarr’s tantalising dream vanishes. The firm kick to his hip drags him back into consciousness. “Yes, kiss me,” he says. “You what?” says SpudGunn, as he’s woken with the next customary kick. MickeyWarr’s luxurious dream is instantly destroyed as he sees SpudGunn looking at him quizzically. Where’s that wonderfully luscious journey, the one with the mystery girl leading him into the woods? Can he fall asleep again? Can he pick it up again? Just where he left off? “SlenderWolf Conflicts and Alliances” is scheduled for publication on 30 Sep 2025 copyright © Scott Rochester 2025

ANGRYBARD (Seeing the emergent smile on MISS FORTUNE’S face, ANGRYBARD’s confidence rises fourfold. Maintaining his concentration, and with perfect timing and a rising drama, he brings the first drum roll to a clear conclusion with a double strike on the middle drum.)

It’s the same aboard The Vorpal Sword with everybody, MaxChaos included, inciting their favourites to win the race.

Composite image LHS A colour pencil drawing with a pale yellow background. A headshot of a 20 year old man with a plain, slightly puzzled expression on his face. His light brown eyes are focussed on the camera. He has short dark brown hair with an abundant quiff on top. And a slightly tanned complexion. His beige collared shirt has the top three buttons undone. The image is labelled MickeyWarr RHS book extract SlenderWolf Conflicts and Alliances Chapter 4 Missing Being stabbed awkwardly in the soft, sensitive part of your lower eyelid, by a jagged shred of dried hay, is not a welcome experience. Especially when you’re asleep! Forcefully brushing it away from his left eye, with the sort of push normally reserved for a wasp buzzing about his face, MickeyWarr slowly opens his right eye. Half opens it, squinting in the half light of the barn, trying to make out what’s going on. No wasp! With his left cheek still on the floor he opens his left eye a little, and tries to focus. A few broken rays of sunlight have found their way through the gaps in the dilapidated wooden walls. The hard floor is unmistakeably dry earth, and the inadequate layer of hay was certainly not conducive to a good night’s sleep. Even with global warming it’s still a typical, chilly Sunday morning in late October, and MickeyWarr is not dressed for rough sleeping! He’s dressed for a Saturday night out at the tavern. A smell of unfamiliar manure hangs in the air. It’s not goat dung. He knows that smell, but this one is heavier, clinging to the lining of his nose and throat, like a drowning man who’s clinging onto a rope and refuses to let go. Raising the left side of his head off the floor a little, he looks about. “Angel! Angel, where are you?” “She’s not ‘ere mate,” says a raspy, gruff voice to his right. images on social media serve only as visual clues and might not be present in the book copyright © Scott Rochester 2025 Novel due out on 30 Sep 2025

You’re not getting one are you?” “No way! Far too outrageous for me! Smacks of some kind of rebel symbolism!” Then, trying to think of something more sensible to say, he adds, “when did the wolves come back? Actually, when did the wolves die out?” “Not really sure.

I love a note from a pupil, it's great to know they are liking you as a teacher a couple of weeks into the school year.
I especially love the "so far" on this one which gives this pupil room to change their judgement of me 😂 #EduSky #UKEduChat #PrimaryEdu

Hello! Yep! It's me from Twix with a more work-centric handle. Really hope this is better than the other one.
