Uncle Jim: Blog

Hoops! I was reposting some corrections to the original 'Magic ink' story, and somehow managed to post chapter 11 from "Magic Ink II' in its place. Fortunately, the kind folks at Stories on Line sent me an email about the error, and I have re-posted the correct chapter in Magic Ink.

In the future, I'll need to be more careful when doing corrections. I'm sorry for any inconvenience it may have caused my readers.

Keep Well,

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

This week's final chapters open with Myles and Maddy going to Chicago with the minor Demons to recover the stolen money. The worker Demons are horrified by what they find. Bob and John are also upset.

Viv achieves her Dragon form and wants to learn to fly. Chu takes Myles and Viv to fly. On their return, they find that Maddy and Jorani have changed their cats into Familiars.

The date for Viv's appointment with Dr. Graham arrives. The meeting with the Doctor and her staff reveals one of the main surprises of the story. Myles is worried about the future following the meeting.

In Chicago, Tony is depressed because the Magic users won't even talk to him. That evening Myles and Viv discuss the one remaining old piece of business - Tony. Later, they remove Tony in a satisfactory way, at least it's satisfactory to them.

Several weeks later, Myles and Viv plus their Familiars visit the Grahams at their house. They meet their children and learn more about their family. Myles does some repairs on their house.

A month later, they return to the Graham house with the repaired stand. Myles has a surprise for the Grahams, and Viv suggests how to secure their financial future.

This has been an interesting story to write with its many turns and worries plus the surprises. I hope that you have enjoyed it. There will be one more story in the Ley Line Witch series. It will be some time in appearing, as I have other work in progress.

Keep Well,
