Uncle Jim: Blog

I'm finally getting back to writing. Since finishing Yuryi, I have been working in my shop on several wooden projects and having more fun than the law allows. Having caught up on things, I have started writing again.

I originally thought that there was enough material to write an entire story about Yvonne, Yuryi's wife. This turned out not to be true. The life of a financial consultant isn't all that exciting, even one who is an Immortal. The story is told from Yvonne's perspective and covers a number of things that were important to her over a considerable period of time. It is a rather short story.

I currently have a number of stories underway. There were enough that, in fact, it was difficult to choose one to concentrate on. After Yvonne, I chose 'The Four Queens'. It is a about the daughters of Maddy and Jorani both before and after they become the Dragon Queens. Some of the other stories waiting to be worked on include Magic Ink VIII, The Unity (last of the tiger Team stories), The Prophecy, and Minny, Micki, and the Cat. These will appear whenever they are ready.

The final chapters have been sent to the Moderators for posting.

This week's final chapters open with Yuryi learning about Myles' termite spell. Yuryi meets with the lawyers and arranges for the money to buy the house as well as another investment in Myles' lumber venture.

Following purchasing the house, Yuryi casts a Defensive Shell around it. Later, he and Craig create a portal to his house in Duluth. He brings his people to check the new house and suggest improvements.

The twins due well on their SAT and have several collages to choose from. Yuryi and Yvonne decide they need a housekeeper for the new house. Maddy suggests someone acceptable.

When the new house is finished, Yuryi invites the Queens and their families to a dinner at the Duluth house. The police arrive uninvited but don't stay. Yuryi and Myles get together to brainstorm about his problems with the lumber business.

Later, Yvonne has her new twins.

This has been an interesting and often thought provoking story to write, but it helped to have characters and other things from the previous stories in the series to draw on. Enjoy these final chapters.

I'm running a bit late this week, as I wasn't as prepared as I usually am.

This week's chapters open with the visit to Dr. Graham's office where the Immortals reenter the story. Dr. Graham has a major announcement on studying both Yuryi and Yvonne. This is followed by an even more amazing revelation after further study. She tests this new information with amazing results.

Yuryi realizes that he and Yvonne can now be together for a long time. Maddy is shocked by the news on returning. They need to determine how often the treatment can be applied.

There is talk about moving to Atlanta, but there are problems. Deirdre provides a solution. Craig confirms the solution, once they find a suitable house.
Yuryi and Nick provide the doctor a workable time frame for the treatments.

Yuryi is interested in investing in Myles business and Myles explains their problems to him.

Ariana takes them to see a house and the owners. There is a problem with the grandson.

These chapters were fun to write, as they weaved characters and situations from previous stories in the series into this one. Enjoy these chapters, more next week.

This week's chapters open with Yuryi having a revelation and sharing it with Yvonne. Following breakfast Yvonne and the twins make wedding plans while Yuryi and Keith go to get a larger SUV, and he discovers the Defensive Shell at Dragon Security. Following returning the rental, he discovers that Yvonne and the twins have gone shopping.

The next morning Dallas and Doreen take them to the courthouse to be married. This is to be followed by a reception in the Nest. Back at Maddy's, they meet a number of people including Chu Hua. In the large parlor he meets Nick, Sara, Myles, and Vivian. He has several surprises on meeting them.

The following morning, Chu arrives to take him to the Dragon Lands to fly while Yvonne looks at the Kavanagh's investments. He and Chu discuss what the Dragon Lands would look like in other areas of the world.

These were fun chapters to write with the introduction of characters fro previous stories and not too much research required. Enjoy these chapters. More surprises next week.
