Uncle Jim: Blog

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

The final chapters open with Hollie and Jacob creating a Charitable Foundation for him to continue his work.

Eventually Jacob's labor results in a place for abused young women to recover. Soon Jacob and the Foundation become involved with CPS (Child Protective Services). The case involves a four year old girl. The results are not good.

Years later, there is another serious run-in with CPS. The results are even worse.

The story in the book that young Hollie has been reading ends with a page listing Jacob's death. The following page lists Hollie's death. The story doesn't end there however, as the young girl's mother comes in and relates the remainder of the story.

This story has the saddest ending that I have ever written. I normally try to end my stories with a happy or upbeat ending. That wasn't possible with this story. Still, I think it shows the love that Jacob and Hollie had for each other, as either would do anything for the other. It also reveals the sadness in those left behind to grieve for them.

I hope that you found the story interesting or at least thought provoking, though the ending is less than happy or enjoyable.

This week's chapters open with the wedding, the reception, and what follows that night. Later, they move to Hollie's house.

When Jacob returns to work, there are questions that leave him wondering. Later Hollie is interested in more sex.

Shortly after their marriage, the church restoration company begins work on the church and the rectory.

After a time, Hollie convinces Jake to retire. He becomes involved with a number of charity organizations.

The story turns darker after this when there is series trouble, and Jake again is involved in solving it. Jake is very good with people problems.

Chapter 8 and the remaining chapters were more difficult to write, and I needed to be careful where I went with the story.

Enjoy these chapters. Next week, the concluding chapters of the story.

There is a lot going on in these two chapters. Hollie returns to Jacob's life. An older and much more assertive Hollie. However, before they have sex, she has a confession to make. Following sex the second time, she tells Jake what she wants later.

Saturday morning, Jake and Hollie visit Father Rayon at the church. He reveals some astonishing news to Jake. Following a lengthy discussion, he agrees to marry Jake and Hollie.

They return home after she presents Jake with a new SUV. There is more sex before dinner. At mass on Sunday, things are rather tense for a time.

The following Saturday, there is much discussion at the church before the wedding.

These two chapters and chapter 7 were the last of the easy to write chapters. The remaining chapters in the story proved to be more difficult, as I needed to thread my way through the various restrictions on content, but believe that I have succeeded without violating any of them.

Enjoy these chapters. More next week.

In this week's chapters, we learn how Hollie does in school and with her religious studies.

There is a problem also with her turning into a young woman, as she grows older. At 14, she is interested in sex and leads Jake into it with her. She had very good teachers.

When she is 16 disaster strikes and Jake is jailed while Hollie is taken away. Jake spends a number of days in jail before a lawyer explains things to him. There is more trouble when he is released. He does learn what the cause of all of the trouble is. It doesn't help and he is fired from his job.

Later he is told to be at a specific place at a specific time by the lawyer. There is a surprise waiting for him there.

Even later, he receives another call to be at a specific place at a certain time. He is confused by this, but follows the instructions with surprising results.

I wish to thank all of those who read the initial chapters of the story for your interest, and also those who sent me very encouraging emails. Enjoy these chapters. More next week.

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

The new story opens with Jacob in a quandary on what to do with the young girl that he has rescued. Eventually, he decides that she IS his responsibility, and he needs to take care of her. Later he introduces her to everyone as his daughter from a former marriage.

The first few chapters of this story were fairly easy to write. It was only on reaching the mid and later chapters that it became more difficult to get the feelings that I wanted the story to portray on paper. I knew the end of the story even before I started writing it. How to get those feeling across to the reader was the question. I'm sure you the readers will decide if I have succeeded.

Enjoy these chapter. More next week, as the writing has been completed and only a little editing remains.

Keep Well,
