Hi all!
Herewith chapter 8 of “To Cheat the Devil.” Poor Roxy! Ag shame... But read for yourself. It seems like she can’t win.

Working on 2 chapters at the same time is getting me down. I have to keep reminding myself with what chapter I am busy with. Getting pictures ready for the chapter coming back from the editors, posting it, and writing on the next chapter, only to find stuff that will be good for the next, next, chapter. I wonder what those guys and girls who do this for a living feel?

Anyway, this does keep me out of trouble. (LOL) AND, it is fun! I hope you like it too!

Until next time.

Keep well and stay healthy!

Bye 4 now!

Hi all!
Herewith chapter 7 of “To Cheat the Devil.” Things are moving a bit on the action side of the story. I do hope you enjoy it.

With all this load shedding going on, I am now loosing 6 hours of internet per day! That just leaves me a small window to upload. So, don’t despair, stay with me.

Thanks for all your e-mails. It is appreciated. I just hope I answered them all and did not leave someone out! Please forgive me if I did.

Until next time.

Keep well and stay healthy!

Hi all!
Chapter 07 came back from the editors with a big RED note! DON’T DO THIS!!! The cliff hanger ain’t fair! Okay, so I rewrote the end of the chapter and (evil laugh) put in a curve-ball. It makes things a little funny in chapter 8, and lead to some interesting assumptions. LOL.

BUT, here is chapter 6. Enjoy!

Until next time.

Keep well and stay healthy!

Hi all!
Chapter 07 is going out to the editors, but here is Chapter 5 so long. LOL, the posting is catching up with the writing and editing, but I hope to be at least one chapter ahead by the time the story finish!

The story will now be taking on a more adventure / action theme, as all the elements are gathering in Somalia. With the next chapter the gang will be mid in the thick of things.

Things are going a bit slow on the romantic front, but there seems to be an ember still flaming in the fire to come.

Until next time.

Keep well and stay healthy!

Hi all!
Chapter 07 is going strong, but here is Chapter 4 so long. I hope this “Travel Log” don’t bore you too much. BUT! To cart 4 Mirages, 8 Land Rovers, 26 people, and equipment over 3000 kilometres through 5 countries in Africa, take a lot of logistics, and planning.

ALSO, we need to establish a love triangle and all that little titbits that make a story believable, even if it is fiction! SO, the adventure will be in full swing in the next chapter or two, but, I am not going to give any spoilers. (All I can say is that after the editing of chapter 6, Some of my editors are biting their nails at the cliff hanger. LOL!!!)

Thanks for those that voted for this story. It is appreciated. Thanks for all the comments and emails. It is always welcome.

Until next time.

Keep well and stay healthy!

Bye 4 now!
