Jody Daniel: Blog

Tracy and Don now continue. Chapter 6 back from the Editor and will be ready later today for download. I see some Readers have commented on the 'Easter Eggs' in the text of the story. Can't help dropping some Easter Eggs, like the reference to a well known song by a highly acclaimed Songwriter / Singer. I used one of his song lines in the text. Also reference to a Author here on SOL. (He will know if he reads the line.) There is also a reference to a PC Game. I'm having fun writing this story. There's a lot more Easter Eggs to come. Like reference to a well liked Cartoon Character. So, enjoy it and stay safe.

Bye 4 Now!

Chapter 5 now posted. Both the Editors and I have now set on English (South African.) Hope this will help.
Stay safe.

FIRST THINGS FIRST:

THANK YOU for 12 000 downloads. I never thought this story would have even been downloaded once. This I appreciate, together with your feedback in either Comments or e-mail. AND the Votes! Maybe I should stand for President or something - need a country though!

AS I do not wish to confuse some of the valued readers: I will start using real place names in the story. I did want to just keep it a story happening somewhere. This type of crime is happening EVERYWHERE. In every country. So, as to not confuse: I will be using REAL place names in the future.

As the story now enters a very sensitive stage, the research is much more involving. To keep the story flow I need to balance all the variables in the way of keeping it simple. At least until...

Okay, you know and expect it. Saying no more.

I also found that some of the Readers are very familiar with my native language. To you I say: "Die son skyn. Dis warm. Kom ons braai! Bring die dop en dam! ...en dans op Snotkop se beat."

Have a safe day. (I believe there's a bug or something about.)

Bye 4 Now!!

Well, it seems as if "Return To Sender" was well received. I do never under estimated the Readers IQ. That said: some IQ's seems to be North of 140, as they correctly identified the "Town" where the story started. And yes, I am "over the pond.." (LOL) Here the Atlantic is indeed on the Western side of the dry stuff!

To those that asked: I am of German origin, but long long ago. I am a born African and speak a little known language called Afrikaans. (A mix of Dutch, French, German, Friesian and some Asian in the mix.) Hope that satisfy all the curiosity.

Thank you again for all the comments and e-mails. Always welcome. Those that complain about my spelling and grammar also! Those that compare my Tracy to a very well known character in a saga here on SOL. Nope. Different Girl. She is Irish and full of fire. You will see.

And seeing that the other girl did not get to flying her PC-24, maybe we can entice her to visit for a cameo appearance!
Stay safe!
Bye 4 Now!

PS: Chapter 4 being finalized now. Will go to the Editor this week.

Thanks to CB the comments at the end of the chapter now work. E-mails are still very welcome. BTW- Chapter 2 now available and Chapter 3 by later today.

Stay safe!
