Uncle Jim: Blog

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

The new story opens in Korat where Chanthra and Mike have bought a house. Shortly, the find a house-girl to take care of the house. The Amulets send them to the Ranger Museum where they have a meeting with the Commanders of the two Ranger Companies that have recently returned from a mission to the Thai Shan States. (see Amulets V) From them, they learn of the arms and vehicles that they sold there. The Amulets also inform them of exactly what their new mission is.

Chanthra, however, needs to visit the Wat of the Amulets to report on their mission in the past. After gathering the needed supplies, they go to Bangkok by train. Chanthra and Yuang, the house-girl, soon leave for Wat Tai Yacum. Mike remains in Bangkok to check on various things.

It was difficult to return to the mindset of the Amulet stories after a long time doing other stories. This story required considerable research, as it takes place in areas that I never visited during my eight years in Thailand. It all worked out very well however.

Enjoy these opening chapters. More next week.
