Jody Daniel: Blog

Hi all!

This has been a busy week. Mostly doing Yard Work, (The dreaded YW word…) and getting to put the finishing touches to the pictures that would go into chapter 5. Putting up with limitations of the software and getting to figure out workarounds.

Then there was the revising of completed chapters that came back from the editors. Also getting a new chapter out to the editors. I am a little ahead now, and I might have a surprise install for you. But keeping my mouth shut at this point in time. Just something I thought about… But more about that later.

Now, let us see what is cooking in chapter 5. Yes, the show must go on, and on the Sunday the show concludes. Then there is an interesting development on the Monday as the Aircraft Incident Investigator of the SACAA visit the Wonderboom hangar.

Have fun! Until next week.

Bye 4 now!

Hi all!

Snow on Table Mountain! Man! I told you last week that old man winter is still around the Southern Hemisphere. Yes, and as the weather prophets predict… it will stay till middle October. Brrrr!

Anyway, here is chapter 4 of “Smoke on GO!” for your enjoyment.

Thank you for all the comments and the emails. It is appreciated. Although the votes don’t always reflect the excellent email feedback and comments, those emails and comments do inspire me to keep on writing. Thank you!

And on that note: Let me comment on the comment of 10R2007. I had fun reading it. But I must say that 2% of the world population is red heads. South Africa with a population of 64 125 573, has 51.1% of its population as females. Thus, more females than males. (97.09 males per 100 females.) Now to take Ally’s statistical analysis mind, she tells me that there are around 654 080.84 redheads in South Africa. Excluding the “out-of-the-bottle-redheads.” (I would like to see what the 0.84 red head looks like…)

So, I am safe with just 4 red heads in my stories! LOL!!!

The blonds are another story. AND, I know the definition of a blond. They say a blond is just an undercover redhead! I also know the other definition but, that is not for this platform.

Until next week.

Bye 4 now!

Hi all!

Slowly summer is rolling in, but the warm weather is just an illusion, a few stray cold fronts are still coming out of the Arctic south and Cape Town gets hit hard. There will still be some really icy weather install for us here in the north.

But that aside. The first big thing hits the Red Dragon Display team! NO SPOILERS! Read for yourself.

Happy reading, dear friends!

Hi all!

Now that you have met Alex Meyer, Leon Little, And Georginia Harper (The red head news journalist on the TV.) in chapter one, the time has come to introduce another main character, Leon’s daughter, Ally. Fourteen years old. Blond. Sharp as a shaving blade, and full of energy like only a fourteen-year-old can be.

Also, the sad story of Ally’s mother is told. Sorry, but it had to be told. All can’t be laughs and giggles in a Jody Daniel story.

Also, the plot start to thicken, and the suspense is mounting in chapter two. NO SPOILERS! Read for yourself.

Happy reading, dear friends!

Thank you for all the comments and the emails. Also, that link that was given by sieylianna. That was nice close-ups of the L-39. Thank you for sharing it.

Until next week.

Hi all!
Right! Right! I’m convinced. With all the emails asking: “Where is the new story?”

Well, here is “Smoke on, GO!” chapter one.

I was not really ready yet, but like my Editor said: “Well, I expect to have C6 back to you soon, and you have 5 chapters in the can. Not like some authors that publish 1 chapter every eight months, I could set my clock to you!”

Well, there you have it! I hope you enjoy this one. AND, there is no cliffhanger at the end of this chapter. The chaos is still to come. (Evil Laugh)

Happy reading, dear friends!

Until next week.

Bye 4 now!
