I do not know whether you are still reading, but if you are, I opened a second account where I started posting from Book 01 again. The difference is that each post (was 14 and is 10 pages from now on). For anyone really reading, I think this account will be more suitable.

If you think my stories are somewhat unreal, I can confirm that sometimes my life is unreal. I've never been to Ireland (Eire?) but it has touched my life a few times.

As a boy of about eleven, while living in Arusha, Tanganyika, I had a ten year old lassie from Ireland living close by and I was quite fascinated by her. Her eyes were lovely, she had a rich head of wavy black hair and was as cute as three buttons, but, boy(!) did she have a temper!

Then in London, I employed a ghost of a little girl (she was about 22years old). She had that kind of fragile beauty that touches my heart. I never fell in love with her, but she broke it anyway, for I learnt she had to return to Ireland, as she wanted to die at home (leukaemia).

And then...not so long ago (for me), in 2004, a business I'd got involved in was not doing well and my partner dumped me...knowing that the Greek authorities would come after me for all debts, not him, because he did not live in Greece (in Greece you still go to prison for defaulting on debts)

His supplier was from Ireland. Just before Christmas, as I contemplated a miserable holiday season (writing my book being my only happiness), I received a phone call from Ireland. It was someone I had not met, did not even know he existed. He introduced himself, told me that he had learnt that Bill (my partner) had dumped me in a cesspool and he was sitting with his family: children and grandchildren (about 14 of them) plus his wife - and he suddenly had the thought that it is not right that he is so happy and blessed, while I am having such a miserable time - so he sent me 8,000 Euro, to cover all the debts and leave me a bit for Christmas.

(This you might find funny - the man was no softie, he was involved in illegal trades and was known, I learnt later, as a very hard man - so, I secretly thanked Cherine for somehow helping me) - okay, my practical side saysn, even hard men get sentimental...but still, I prefer to think of it as some kind of miracle...and who better than my Cherine to be the responsible one? lol - I even wrote to her about it (in a later book).

Do I wonder whether there is a real "Cherine" in our reality? I think it is more than likely - though maybe she is not a Terran?

All this because I read your post about the Old Convent.....

:))

I am still reading them yes. I like the length of the original posts because I can sit down and read one for ten minutes and think about it and take it in . I am currently on the post that you met the little girl and her mother came to say sorry for playing in your yard. The story is definitely making me read more which is what you want in a great story. So thumbs up so far. Yes us Irish are a strange bunch. We work hard and play hard and I am delighted that guy gave you that 8 grand. It doesn’t happen too often but you must of made quite the impression. I know you are not from Greece originally but in the story some of the Greek ways interest me . It sounds like a great place to reside. I haven’t got the chance to read more as I am currently doing a project with work to make a video for our annual conference and it is taking all my time but I have it mostly completed so I will read more chapters.
