Hi all!
Can you believe, we are in the 4th week of iSigodi and now the heat seems to be going up a degree or two? Let us see how Ty and Mel cope with the second guest who has died at the resort in only twenty-four hours.

Here in SA, we are into fall, and the trees are starting to shed their cladding. Soon winter will be on us. My wife, the redhead, predicts a cold winter. I am not so sure. With one eye on climate change, yes that's the new buzzword, I think that the winter won’t be as cold. A few cold days yes, but overall I don’t think it will be such that I need to break out the Eskimo wear. LOL.

But here is chapter 4 of iSigodi. Have fun!

Until next time.

Bye 4 now!

Hi all!

And the saga continues.

Just one thing about the first picture in the chapter: You will not find this figure in any of the Cessna 200 series handbooks, maintenance manuals or operating manuals, as it was rectified after the modification. Unless you could lay your hands on the original publication, the figure you will get will be the modified one.

Also, I am curious. There seem to be a lot of female readers of my stories. Please drop me an email. BTW: This was a request from my Redhead wife, as she is tickled pink by the thought that there may be some female readers to my stories. She thought she was the only one until she met one of my female readers by a complete coincidence! Well, to be honest, so was I! LOL!

Here is chapter three! Happy reading, dear friends!

Until next time.

Bye, 4 now!

Hi All!

I have to thank you for the tremendous response to chapter one of iSigodi. All the comments and emails were most welcome.

Herewith, today, I post chapter two and hope you will enjoy it just as much. A few sidelines are happening in the story. We can’t just say Jerry Sinclair is dead and then live happily ever after. Nope. There must be some side tracks for you to explore as well.

One of my editors suggested that I post a picture of the Cessna 206 Stationair II fuel system, but that might be a little early. In chapter three I will post that picture and the text will explain the meaning. (I expect a lot of debate and comments about it!) But let’s wait for chapter three.

Here is chapter two! Happy reading, dear friends!

Until next time.

Bye 4 now!

Hi all!

First and foremost, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to every one of you for your continued support and enthusiasm for my stories. Your encouragement fuels my creativity and inspires me to weave narratives that transport you to realms both familiar and fantastical.

Today, I am thrilled to announce the première of my latest story: “iSigodi.” Yes! The spelling is correct. “iSigodi” is a Zulu word meaning “The Village.”

After two months of writing, editing, (big thanks to my Editors for putting up with me and the great job they do.) the day has finally arrived to unveil this new tale to you. I am beyond excited to share this new adventure with you all. Whether you’re a long-time reader or a newcomer to SOL, I invite you to dive head first into the pages of “iSigodi.”

Without giving too much away, I can promise you a gripping tale filled with twists, turns, and unforgettable characters. (There maybe some old characters also, who knows?)

As always, I am immensely grateful for your unwavering support and enthusiasm. Without you, none of this would be possible. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for being a part of this incredible journey. Thank you for the five nominations at the Clitorides for the story of “Amelia.”

Don’t forget to share your thoughts and reactions to “iSigodi” with me! Your feedback means the world to me and helps shape the stories yet to come.

Happy reading, dear friends!

Until next time.

Bye 4 now!

As we stand at the threshold of a brand-new year, I want to extend my heartfelt wishes to each and every one of you. May the coming year be a tapestry of joy, success, and fulfillment for you all.

May your dreams take flight, and your aspirations soar to new heights. May every challenge be an opportunity for growth, and every setback be a steppingstone towards greater achievements.

In the canvas of 2024, may you paint moments of laughter, kindness, and unforgettable memories.
May your passion burn bright, your creativity flow endlessly, and your perseverance be unwavering.

May the melody of success play harmoniously in the background of your endeavors, and may you find satisfaction in every note.

May your journey be filled with meaningful connections, genuine friendships, and moments of profound inspiration. In the coming year, may you be surrounded by positivity, love, and the unwavering support of those who truly care about you.

As the clock strikes midnight and we usher in the new year, may it bring you a renewed sense of purpose, boundless opportunities, and the courage to chase after your wildest dreams.

Thank YOU for being an essential part of this incredible journey.

Here's to a year filled with endless possibilities and the promise of a brighter, more exciting future.

Happy New Year, to one and all, your families and friends!

With gratitude,
Jody Daniel.
