Etiquette is so awfully important. That is why I have moderated this blog. I have only two moderation policies: I will edit or block comments that genuinely violate privacy -- anyone's -- and I will do the same with posts that are profane or abusivc. Oh, the characters in my novels speak quite coarsely at times, for that is realism, and some readers feel that those same characters are extraordinarily like persons they know and possibly love. But that is the privilege of fiction, which is, by definition, made up.
You say you cannot be sure which parts of my stories I made up? Ah, then assume that invention was at work anent any detail which has no obvious foundation in fact.
With that in mind, do drop in.
