Uncle Jim: Blog

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

This week's chapters open with Craig and Jorani arriving in Chiang Rai. They rent a house after looking over the area. Jorani studies Magic from Craig's Father's book and then the Guardian's Books. Partway through, Craig takes her to learn to fly. There is a minor problem.

While Jorani studies, Craig does research on Tibet and the Nest there. He also determines how to get there. They fly to Bangkok once Jorani finishes her studies and then on to Nepal. At one of the Temples they visit there, they meet a man who can see that they are Dragons.

In Bangkok, the CIA finally learns where they have been hiding, and that they have left.

These are the last of the easy to write chapters and the beginning of those requiring extensive research. This continues for most of the remaining chapters of the story.

Enjoy these chapters. More next week.

This week's chapters open the next morning when Craig dismisses the translator and the driver to return to their actual employers and warns them not to bother him or Jorani. The driver is upset and doesn't listen.

Later the two of them travel to Phi Mai, an ancient Cambodian Temple. While there, Jorani receives an amulet from the Spirit of Ley line Magic. He also tells them when to leave Phi Mai and where to go to avoid the spy agencies.

At the Guest house that night, Jorani is anxious for a lot of sex, but receives more than she bargained for. While traveling two days later, gangsters hold up the bus they are on. Craig deals with them, and they manage to avoid the questions of the police. That night they take the Chiang Mai train to Lam Pang where they switch to the train to Chiang Rai.

These early chapters have been easy to write because I am familiar with Thailand having spent eight years there in the Army. They are very detailed because of that and that a lot of information is available about Thailand. Later chapters will be somewhat less detailed due to a lack of available information.

Enjoy these chapters. More next week.

the new story has been sent to the Moderators for posting.

The new story opens with Craig arriving in Bangkok. After arranging for a translator plus a driver and a car, they travel to Korat. There Craig has a dream about finding his quarry in Cambodia.

On finding the young woman, he has trouble healing her injuries, and transforms both of them into their Dragon form.

After returning to Korat, they attend a movie following dinner, and run into trouble after leaving it. Craig deals with the trouble in his Dragon form.

This story has been very research intensive because of the many locations that it takes place in. It is also longer than the previous stories in this series. The first part in Thailand was the easiest to write because of my familiarity with the country.

Enjoy these two chapters. More next week.

Keep Well,

If all goes well, I will begin posting the first chapters of 'Dragon Son' this Friday, the 12th of November. This has been a very research intensive story because of the many different location that it takes place in.

This week's final chapters of Owen's World opens with those on the Mission to Phnom Penh moving to a hotel for the night. In the morning they leave for Sinhanoukville.

Once out of sight in the mountains, the Eagles are released to recon the road ahead. A problem is detected, and Tiger Team takes action to remove it.

Arriving late in Sihanoukville, those there are shocked to see them alive. Following their operations meeting at the new hotel, the Eagles return with news of a seaplane. In the morning, Tiger Team goes to investigate the seaplane.

The following morning, they leave for the southern continent. There is a slight problem reaching the shore, but it is easily corrected. On landing, they meet a representative of the major species there. Kaera decides to remain with those there along with the Jaguars. The representatives of the Nang transfer everyone to the Wat in the north to recover the Tiger cubs. Eventually, everyone is returned to their compound near Bangkok.

This is followed by the surprise ending to the story. I will not reveal what it is. You must read the final chapters to find out.

This has been a very interesting story to write, as there are a number of things that were not in the original outline. Also, I thought that chapter 24 would be the final chapter. The outline appeared to be simple enough, but when writing that chapter, it turned out to be much longer that it looked. I stopped chapter 24 at 12 typed pages. Also chapter 25. Chapter 26 has 21 typed pages, as I dislike an uneven number of chapters.

Enjoy these final chapters. I am currently working on several other stories. They will appear when they are ready.

Keep Well,
