This is a story written by a physicist so he has wound it around Albert Einstein. There is some basis of fact in it but mostly he has made it up as he went along. This is similar to my Penny Queen tale. I used Sir Rowland Hill as a starting point then made up the rest. I have now worked out the ABCTales website. They gave me an account and after some to and fro I have my short story uploaded there. It seems attention span for reading on a screen is very short. Maybe that is why I try to keep these blog posts short as well. The ABC people strictly hold the story to 2700 words however I had 3500. They think 2700 is the limit for a reading session on line. It may be more about the standard of amateur writing. I thought mine was short in the first place but for them it is too long. In the end I got around it by splitting into Part I and Part II. Search for 'Penny Queen' at ABCTales.com. They are set up with feedback loops, statistics etc.

I enjoyed your short story. A nice mix of fact and fiction. Looking forward to reading more.
