It only cost $100 US to bail out of jail in Nairobi. FYI: they only accept new, crisp bills. The Germans only have euros; serves them right. My new friend, Robert, from Canberra says I can’t hold my liquor and I throw a punch like a girl. Cocky bastard.
Sorry. I'm in Africa getting drunk with some Aussies and picking fights with over-fed Germans. Back middle of next week.
The next chapter of "GateKeeper's Secret" will be posted late today. My fault - brain fart.
My latest novel is now available on ZBookstore. "Gatekeeper's Secret" is a science fiction story set in near-present day Western United States. There are aliens, pickup trucks, aliens in pickup trucks, bodacious women and villains too. Yep. I will begin posting serially on SOL next week if not sooner.
Usually I acknowledge and thank my editors in the endnote of my stories, but in "Court of the Crimson King," the note of thanks slipped my attention. For the second time, CaptainPig has agreed to edit one of my story. As a editor, he is polite and easygoing about my mistakes, posing questions about my lapses when some editors have simply ripped into the bad writing. The Dance of the writer and editor is dynamic. The editor I needed when I first began a decade ago is not the editor I need now. When I see his name pop up as editor of other stories on SOL, I give a thumbs up to the screen.
When certain repetitive mistakes appeared in a previous tale that were made after the editing, Black Coffee, a known and named writer on SOL, offered his services as a reader. His offer came up in the Forum, which is a perk of the SOL universe at the other end of the menu bar. I took him up on his offer, for which I am grateful. His subtle fingerprints are also on the text.
My apologies to the two gentlemen who I did not acknowledge earlier. Their contributions were essential to the successful presentation of my imagination.
