    Dr E J Yeaman

    I retired (early) and started a new career as a writer. I wrote short stories and articles. Some were published; some won prizes; some sank without trace.Having heard my stories, two friends suggested I should write for children. I’d never thought of that, although I’d spent my first career communicating with young people – as a Chemistry teacher, and running clubs for badminton, chess, table tennis and hillwalking.I tried writing for young people – and I loved it. It became my main occupation. I sent samples to publishers. One asked to see a complete story. In excitement, I sent it off. Then nothing. After four months, I rang, and was told the manuscript was being considered: I would be notified. Then more nothing. Now, after eight years, I no longer rush to the door when the letter box rattles.But I kept writing the stories because I enjoyed it so much. Until, in late 2013, I learned I could publish my stories and games as e-books. Since then, I’ve been polishing and issuing some of them. I hope everyone enjoys reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.Check out the series:C: Charades – party game – a new twist to the traditional game.D: Diagags – party game – gags written as plays for two people.M: My Story – novels – classical stories, told by the heroes.O: One-Offs – party game – guess the titles, not quite the classical ones.P: Pop Tales – short stories – inspired by 60s and 70s hit songs.Q: Quote-Outs – word games – can you deduce the missing words?S: Inside Story – novels – a boy’s adventures inside classical stories.T: Troubleshooters – novels – space adventures for young people.

      HOMOPHONES

      Homophones are words which are spelled differently but pronounced the same, e.g. HERE (at this place) and HEAR (use your ears).

      But the given homophones are in sets of three. Your job is to work them out.

      Example

      Progressed on a horse.

      Progressed on a small boat.

      A band of ground, surfaced to aid progress.

      Answers

      Progressed on a horse. RODE

      Progressed on a small boat. ROWED

      A band of ground, surfaced to aid progress. ROAD

      To make a more interesting challenge, eight of these sets are mixed – including one which has four homophones.

      1. A root vegetable, usually red.

      2. To plant seeds.

      3. A beverage made by infusing dried leaves.

      4. A presentation made for some achievement.

      5. Appeals to a god.

      6. Propelled itself through the air.

      7. To compliment.

      8. To use needle and thread.

      10. A conjunction introducing a consequence.

      11. A heavy weight which must be moved.

      12. A letter of the alphabet.

      13. Abbreviation for an illness involving fever and respiratory problems.

      14. An object used by a golfer.

      15. Beams, e.g. of light.

      16. Made a gentle call like a cow.

      17. Snoops.

      18. The seventh note of the sol-fa scale.

      19. To lift.
