    In my day job I work as a business analyst, which generally involves meeting with business people then writing loads of monotonous documentation about their needs.   Out of work I play lots of golf and build / fly model aircraft.   I've always been a creative person with a vivid (some might say wicked) imagination, and decided to do a bit of writing and join Elfwood at the urging of my Elfwood artist and Wyvern friend Maxine Cox.   I've never attended any writing classes, so what you'll see is just the natural ramblings of an untrained author.   My only hope is that you get something out of my stories, anything from a deep emotional experience to just a good laugh.  

    My stories so far:

    The Magic Lolly Jar - a children's story about a little girl and a magic lolly jar.

    Gilbert - A twisted and humorous tale about a young dragon on his coming-of-age hatchday.  Warning: some of the humour in the early chapters may not appeal to all readers.   There are a lot of spelling mistakes in the last 2 chapters, so I will be re-posting these once I've corrected them, plus a slight revision to the fate of Kiki in the epilogue (for Michelle).

    Coming soon in 2008: Space Junk - It was supposed to be published in 2007, but some EW extra-curricular activities put it on hold for a while.

    Hi! Just stopping by because you left such helpful comments on my Kharmii stories. What does a can on VB mean in Australian btw?

    18 Randall Owen Salau replies: "Hi Michelle, thanks for dropping by 1 VB is Victoria Bitter, pretty much staple diet for Aussies and some of the best tasting beer you'll find anywhere. Everyone thinks we drink Foster's Lager, but that's only for tourists."

    Hi Randall! Just a note to let you know that Chapter Seven of The Empress' Relic is up at last! I see you've been doing a lot of updating too - I'll be sure to catch up with it all as soon as I can! (College is keeping me busy right now, but the holidays are on the way!) You haven't been forgotten. =)

    Cheers! =D

    2 Randall Owen Salau replies: "Hi Emma 1 Wow, another chapter! I can't wait to read more of Morven's adventures. If I'm quick enough I might even get to do 1st comment dance *googles dancing lessons* btw, thanks for the poppets *tries one* O-o Very nice! ^-^"

    Ok Randall, Chapter Eight is up and ready when you are! ^.^ Hope you're well! =D

    2 Randall Owen Salau replies: "Thanks Emma ^-^ I've just heard the most dreadful news of all, that the alcohol content of VB (my favourite beer) is to be reduced by 0.1% from next month! =( So your story will be just what I need to cheer me up! Hope you are well too, and that you did well in your exams =D"

    Hi Randall, had a good chuckle over the dragon boys, looking forward to more -

    1 Randall Owen Salau replies: "Thanks Martin, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Maybe I'll have to start thinking about writing a sequel. Thanks for being my first male reader btw 1 An e-can of VB coming your way ..."

    Hi, I'm going around asking some of my better readers the same question (and you're one of my best commentors, aside from Angela Perry, of course, so here it goes - I've stuck in a ticket for revised versions of every chapter + chapter eight. Chapter nine is in the works, maybe I'll finish it this weekend if I'm not too lazy. And I've got a wee dilema. I wrote two other chpaters for "The Demon's Lodge" (whose chpater I've changed, but I'm not changing on elfwood)but they don't come until way later and have major spoilers in them. I like them a bunch, but I'm not sure if I should put them up and ruin some cool stuff for everybody. Advice please?

    :-) Randall Owen Salau replies: "Even with the spoilers, I think the reader would really enjoy the fill-in chapters later, without detracting from your fun story. If you really like them, my vote is to post them! "

    I saw your smiley, a VB can is it not?
    Very funny and Aussie 2

    21 Randall Owen Salau replies: "Hey Shelz! Another Aussie on EW, wow! I figured putting the beer label up there would be a neat way of drawing fellow Aussies out of the Elf-woodwork ... and it worked! I mean, how many Australians can resist the thought of an ice cold can of VB? 1"

    Well, I've got chapter 8 of the Demon's Lodge up, but I had to delete a couple of other chapters in order to fit all of my edited chapters up (there were more than five) so I've lost my Mod's Choice and lots of my comments. It makes me very sad. *sniffs*

    :-) Randall Owen Salau replies: "Awesome news! I really enjoyed reading Demon's Lodge and have been hanging out for the next chapter for ages!"
    27 Dec 2007:-) Hannah Ashley
    Wow, I sometimes amaze myself. Two chapters up in one month. I have to go find somebody to pinch me. *wanders off aimlessly* Yeah, chapter 9 up. Yay. *sleeps*

    11 Randall Owen Salau replies: "You must be on a roll! I wish I could say the same for myself, but I just can't seem to find the time or creativity at the moment. Maybe reading your next chapter will get me going ... I hope so! "

    Hi Randall!2 You got a big library here! I'll be back to do some reading a little bit later..2

    2 Randall Owen Salau replies: "Thanks for dropping in. I'll have to visit your gallery again soon to see more of your amazing artwork!"

    Thank you for the comment you left me about my painting, but if you don’t find it still there, it is because I was still gigling from reading your first chapter when I was trying to reply my bifocles sliped down on my nose and I hit the delete button!8

    :-) Randall Owen Salau replies: "Damn those pesky bifocals! I think I need to wear glasses too but I’m worried that they’ll slip off and do the same to me. I’m really happy that it made you laugh. Thanks for the nice comment, you made my day!"
