The first chapters of the new story 'Nicolae' have been sent to the Moderators for posting.

Yes, I know that I'm late, very late getting this story posted, but I had a problem develop on Friday morning. I lost my Internet connection. At first, we thought that it was a minor interruption. To make a long story short, it wasn't. The cable connecting my house to the provider's cable box went bad. The company finally sent a technician to install a new temporary cable on the ground. A permanent cable will be installed later. Today, Tuesday, I finally have internet service again.

The new story in entitled Nicolae.

After being killed by the raiders, Nikshith goes to check on the other villagers. They don't believe he is him as they had seen him killed. On being rebuffed, he sets out to retrieve his sword. He eventually finds it broken and discarded on the battlefield where the raiders were defeated and annihilated. Later he talks to the man who had cut his sword in half. He starts on the long journey to find such a sword.

A thousand years later, Nikshith, now known as Nicolae, rescues a young woman from being assaulted and murdered by three men in a gang initiation. He then disappears with her. The police are looking for her and want her to report to their headquarters. Nicolar coaches her on what to tell them and what to do.

This is a side story in the Ley Line Witch series. The characters from it and another story, 'Little Dragon Lost' yet to be written will appear in the final story of the series 'The Four Queens' when I get it written.

For now enjoy these two chapters. I will be posting the next two chapters on Friday of this week providing I don't lose my Internet connection again.

Keep Well,

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

There is a lot happening the final chapters. Chapter 22 is a rather long chapter.

This week's chapters open with Kennith, Steve, Keith, and Craig transferring to D.C. where they gather intelligence on the whereabouts of the Iranian terrorists and those sheltering them.

After capturing them, the Iranians are transported to the Nest in Stone Mountain, before they deal with the leader of the D. C. MS-13. His partially dismembered body is left in a public place.

On reaching the Nest later, they find that the ladies of the Clan have already interrogated the Iranians, who are dealt with in typical Dragon fashion the next day.

Later, there is news of assassinations in Iran and also of a major train wreck. At a news conference the following day, the Queens announce that they will be meeting with those in charge in Iran. This does not go over well with those in D.C.

A few days later, all of the adult Dragons in the Clan go to the city of Bandar Abbas in Iran to demand that the Iranians change their ways. The meeting is very contentious and requires the application of a good deal of Magic to make them listen.

At the same time, Harmony is visiting the Iranian Supreme Leader and informing him of the required changes. Later she visits the Queens.

Craig finishes the story by revealing the outcome of their visit. Years later he is giving a lecture to visiting historians and bring them up to date on where all of those in the Clan are.

This story required more than the usual amount of research due to the locations where it occurred and those involved. I hope that you have enjoyed it. I am working on several stories as time permits as my wife is currently on vacation for six months, and I have had a lot to do to keep things up around the house.

Keep Well,

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

This week's chapters open with the Queens and their infant daughters going to the Dragon Reality in Tibet to reassure a young almost Female Dragon and to see to her learning Magic.

Meanwhile, things are continuing to happen in the rest of the world. In Iran, the Major Demons have a small problem develop but solve it in their typical fashion. There are also problems in China.

During this time, Chu is learning about America as well as Magic. All of the kittens are assigned to whose Familiar they will eventually be.

Maddy wants to visit the site of the new Nest. It will be more work that they had thought. The Major Demons are upset about losing a follower.

Work on the new Nest is curtailed by a new problem, which involved the Iranians and the terrorists cells that they are creating. Franklin meets Chu Hua during this.

After dealing with the terrorist cells, the guys need to track down their Iranian organizers.

Enjoy these chapters. The final chapters will appear next week.

Keep Well,
