Jody Daniel: Blog

Good day to all.
After all the load-shedding, because of "wet coal" or "The ship with the diesel did not arrive…" and those lame excuses, I did manage to get the next chapter out to the editors. Okay, I won't say anything about jet engines not working with diesel, because my one editor told me that it is possible. (No wonder the stuff only generate half the capacity. Diesel, my word.) With those clowns at our electricity generation circus, anything is possible. They might get it right to use old plastic bottles running the Koeberg Nuclear Power Plant! (Breytie, don't laugh! You know what I mean.)

Anyway, I received the edits back this morning. Okay, - yesterday evening, just before bedtime. Then the Redhead wanted to go shopping this morning. But I made it. So, here you go. The good people at SOL will still be "moderating" it. (See to it, that my story is in line with their good taste and high standards. LOL)

Thank you for all the emails and comments. It's appreciated. (and I mean ALL of them.)

Now to get on with Chapter 23…

Keep well, stay safe, be good!

Bye 4 now!

Hi all.
Okay, I found that the comments and email function of that other blog of mine, don't function so well.

I made some changes. There's now a direct email link to my "Jody Daniel" email address. Please use it. Also, you can now change the language of the web page.

PLEASE: My friend, the teacher of German for more than 20 years. (You know who you are.) Don't try to read it in German. Google Translate will have you in stitches!! But thanks for your excellent advice. It is highly appreciated!

I still need to figure out how to make it cellphone and tablet friendly, but hey, I'm not THAT computer wise. LOL.

Also: Good news! Chapter 22 is at the editors! Maybe up for download by Friday / Saturday!

Enjoy.

Bye 4 now.

Hi there. Chapter 21 of Desert Rose, fresh out of the oven, will be up just now. Enjoy.

Sorry if I got my Port and starboard somewhere mugged up, but we "fly boys" don't use it! Even ATC when they vector you to a new heading will say "turn RIGHT heading 230 and proceed on course..."

We abandoned the Starboard and Port thing just after WWII! LOL. Sorry.

Bye 4 now.

To those of you that do celebrate the day: Happy Halloween!

Chapter 20 of Desert Rose is being processed as I type here. Enjoy!

In the text you'll come across a picture of a ship off-loading cargo somewhere in Antarctica. Okay, this is the ship that "Ocean Wanderer" is based on. There was a comment about the size of her and that she ain't big enough to accommodate a Puma. Well, there were TWO Pumas based on her and the picture is to show her helideck. I could not find a picture that show her hangars, but I will source some and use it in coming chapters.

Stay safe and stay well!

Bye 4 now.

Hi there. Chapter 19 of Desert Rose will be up for download shortly.
Had been running around a bit this morning, so I could not get to do the final revision of the edits. But, fear not - it was submitted on SOL a few minutes ago.

Stay Good! Stay safe, and keep the rubber side on the tar!

Bye 4 now!
