Chapter 4 is in the queue and will post Thursday morning.

Virgil's plane is diverted to Paducah, Kentucky. A new virus is suspected, and all aboard are quarantined. Virgil realizes that he has two wives... He's not certain if he's in Heaven or on the way to Hell.

People die.

Chapter 3 is queued and scheduled for posting in the morning.

Chastity gets her day in court, and Virgil acquires a wife and another daughter. We learn some of the advice the Army brat consultants gave Chastity.

Thanks for your questions and feedback.

Chapter 2 is in the queue for tomorrow morning.

We watch Chastity and Virgil begin a relationship. We find out that Lawyer Sam is a good guy. Chastity refuses to sleep alone and has no body shyness.

Questions:

1) Virgil Caen is a take off of the name of the 'narrator' in the song The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down sung by The Band and Joan Baez among others. His middle name came from the name of the train. No agenda, just been playing with that for a while.

2) A Herc is a Hercules C-130 and the 'Herky Hilton' is slang for hanging a hammock in the aft, often near the ramp and frequently blocking access to the toilet. The bunk(s) in the cockpit are considered uncomfortable by many and are often filled with gear or just plain junk.

Much thanks for the feedback, questions, and the voting.

As soon as I finish this Blog entry, I'll upload the first chapter of The Daughters of COVID-20. Almost a month ago I told you it was coming, but...

There are nine chapters and an epilogue, all done, mostly longer than my normal. I'll upload a chapter every other day, probably in the morning.

First and foremost I, and you who read this story, need to thank my editor-proofreaders: 1) They kept me from drifting too political in either direction. 2) They had great ideas that made the story much better (If you don't like it, the fault is all mine) and 3) My fingers just don't work right and they found a heck of a lot of typos for me to fix.

So take a bow - Zen Master, Reluctant Sir, PCBondsman, Bohica, Steve, Kenn Gannon, Brooke, Rev, and Lou.

The timelines parallel real events, but they have been modified somewhat for the sake of the story. On the other hand, if you see a typo that we missed, please let me know so I can fix it.

Oh yeah, If you have not read Crumbly writer's virus pandemic story Love and Family During the Great Death you owe yourself. It is one of my favorites.

Let me know what you think.

I read VE's blog post and it sure describes what can happen. I mean, my characters tell me what's going on, and it frequently isn't what I thought.


The Daughters of Covid-20, has been sent to several of my editors and proofreaders. I started out with the typical pandemic and survivors yada yada yada. What we got is a new, mutated virus that just happens to be identified and isolated at ground zero.

It is caught because it is very deadly to men. It just makes women very horny. One man survives. Why? How? Did I mention there is some speculation that it might prolong life? Indefinitely? This is pretty much the opposite of my story Siobhan where most of humanity is wiped out.

Coming to a post sometimes soon. Unless of course, the characters wake up and whisper more in my ear.
