I think Psycho Flasher is the book we're all secretly longing for... ...or not so secretly...

Oh no, you mean there is a REAL Dick Staines who wants to be a horror writer! Poor guy.

This is the completerecord of the relationship between the two Richard Staines' which happened on the 2nd and 4th of July of this year.
From Him:
Dear Mr Staines I was amazed to find yet another namesake on the internet. It really is odd that so many people called Richard Staines seem to have become writers/creative types. I love writers like Guy N Smith and have long wanted to write a horror book, so you can imagine how amazed I was to find that someone called Richard Staines had beaten me to it. Anyway, I will have a look in the book shop or maybe purchase a copy of Lobster Holocaust from your website. For your information, my line of work is writing about health policy for a nursing magazine. Regards Richard Staines
Then from Richards cousin Mungo:
Dear R.S.
I normally don't have time for health freaks, as they annoy me with their pandering to the treadmill and lettuce eating. Stuff like that makes me sick. However, seeing as you are also stained with a gracious surname, I will forgive you. I'm glad you like my website, (I have yet to see it myself) and when the book comes out, I shall sign you a copy. This message has been written out and passed to my nephew Mungo, who has the interweb, so think yourself lucky I'm in a talkative mood.
from
Richard Staines
I actually thought someone was mucking around hence the rather absurd reply to him.
Sad news to come in 2010 - the Richard Staines site will be closing down unless I can find someone to take it on and host it elsewhere - I've been paying out of my own pocket for it - never been a problem, but the missus wants a website freed up for one of her projects - and the only one that really won't be doing anything in the future is Dick's one. The site will be no more in January sometime. Was fun to do though, and it was great working with Mark and see Dick fleshed out a little.

it's only a suggestion and you'll maybe have to re-jig the content, but have you considered wordpress? been using them for a few years now and they provide an excellent, ad-free service and it won't cost you a penny. wordpress.com/
