Hello All … I hope this finds you all well!

Wow! What a week it has been! Gay marriages become legal in the Australian Capital Territory (well, at least until we hear the outcome of the High Court challenge later this week), Tom Daley tells the world he’s in a relationship with a guy, and of course, the sad passing of the inspirational Nelson Mandela!

On the subject of gay marriages in the ACT, there was a very interesting poll on one of our local news websites, asking if the new laws in the ACT should stand and whether the federal government should butt out of it! The result of that poll was 120,000+ in favour and only 15,000 against! If that’s not a message for our government then I don’t know what is!!! (Most other **official** polls that you see only ever sample a few thousand people at best!).  Here’s hoping that the High Court and the government have finally seen the light!

And in other news … I’ve just posted Chapter 12 of Mardi Gras Murders! Sorry it’s taken a little longer than usual,, but things have been busy, and it is also the longest chapter so far! So, enjoy!

I’ve also added a new site to the links page (as promised to a couple of readers). You might like to check out Saber Creek Ranch for some more fantastic stories!

Okay then, that’ll have to do for now! Thanks again to everyone who has been visiting the site and especially to those who have written or messaged me … your words mean a great deal!

Until next time!

Hello all … first off I would just like to say thank you for all the great comments that I have received about this story! It’s wonderful knowing that you folks are really getting into the story … even to the point of some of you pleading for the lives of some of the characters! Now that’s what I call being engrossed! So, thank you!

The stats are also continuing to climb … we’re up over 18,000 page views now … that’s almost double what it was just a month ago! And we’ve now also had visitors from more than 60 countries! Simply amazing!

I’ve also had people asking to be added to the mailing list … which I’m happy to do … but the easiest thing to do is just click on the little ‘FOLLOW’ button that should appear in the lower right corner of the screen when you visit the home page, and you’ll automatically receive an update whenever I post something. (I hope this works on all machines … if it doesn’t work for you, please let me know, and we’ll revert to doing it the old fashioned way!)

So now … on with the show! Chapter 11 has just been posted!

Enjoy!

Howdy folks … just letting you now that Chapter 10 of Mardi Gras Murders has now been posted!

Enjoy! 🙂

Also, thank you to everyone for your feedback on the stories and the website. I’ve just been advised of an issue with being able to view the site on some devices, so hopefully I’ll be able to come up with a fix for it.

Take it easy ya’ll!

Hello All … just a couple of things for you today!

Firstly, I’m excited to say that we’ve just passed the 10,000 page views mark for the new site! And here’s a screen shot of the stats page just to prove it! 😉

Woo-hoo! That’s amazing! Thank you so much to everyone who has been paying me a visit!

And in other news…

I’ve just added Chapter 9 of Mardi Gras Murders to the site, as well as having started to have the story posted on both Nifty and CRVBoy!

I just received a message on here from WordPress admin to say my stats “are booming!”

How cool is that? LOL

In the past month alone there have been over 2,000 page views on the site (total at the moment is over 5,500 since launching the new site), while on top of that there have also been plenty of folks checking out my links to other websites … Nifty – 793, Dabeagle – 142, Remmy Meggs’ Affairs of War – 93 … while even the newer ones I’ve added this week, like Best of Nifty, CRVBoy, The Mustard Jar and Awesome Dude are also getting visitors from here!

So, basically I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to all you guys! You are amazing!  🙂

Haha! What a spectacular sight that must have been this morning when Team USA came from behind in the series and pinched the America’s Cup back from the Kiwi’s, who I’m sure a few days ago felt they were home and hosed!!!

I had to have a chuckle though, when our TV presenters proudly advised that there was only one American on board … almost the entire crew was made up of foreigners (7 Aussies and 1 Brit that I know of … not sure how many others were on board!).

Still, it was a fantastic achievement by Team USA to come back and win like that! Well done to all concerned!

And as for those pesky Kiwi’s? I think their Prime Minister hit the nail on the head with a simple Twitter post. It read … “Bugger!”

LOL

Sorry … but I just couldn’t think of anything better to put in the subject line! Sad, huh? lol

Well, unfortunately I can’t report that I have something new to post — although work is definitely continuing in that department — so, what I thought I’d tell you about are some of the stories I’ve been reading recently!!!

You may have taken a look at my Recommended Readings page, on which I have posted links to some stories that I have really enjoyed reading and I thought you might like also. I’m pleased to say that a couple of these stories, even though complete, have now been added to, with brand new parts and story lines!

These are Gotham Prep (by BE Kelley) and Riding Lessons (by Andrew Todd), the continuations for both of which I am really enjoying!

There is also a new story I would like to add to the list this week, one which is about 10 chapters in at the moment and is shaping up really nicely. It is called Birds Don’t Sing Before a Storm and has been written by Ronyx. Please do yourself a favour and check it out! And don’t forget to let Ron know what you think of it!

I’d also like to thank the new readers who have written me this week after Mardi Gras Murders was given a shout out on the Awesome Dude website. Thank you to Awesome Dude and also to those who took the time to say hello. Your very kind words are very much appreciated!

Okay then, that will have to do for this week I think … it’s time I got back to work!

Enjoy your reading folks! Take Care!

OK, just so you know, things are still bubbling along!

I’ve just added another new chapter to Mardi Gras Murders for you all . . . we’re up to chapter 8 now . . . so I hope you enjoy!

In the three months since this new site was put online, we’ve now also had more than 3,500 page visits from 40 countries! Thanks everyone for your support!

OK then, I’ll get back to writing now!

Take it easy, ya’ll!
