Hi all!
Let me first just remind you that the country of Volynia is fictional and not to be confused with the real country Vholynia. Volynia and the fictional cities, streets and the Palace of the OLD Crown do not exist but are pure fictional for this story. Although the location, and political policies of Volynia is modelled after the real country of Moldova. The Reason for that is that Volynia is being used as a Kingdom.
I had numerous emails and comments that the readers can’t find the country Volynia in any Google search, only a country called Vholynia that is geographical not in the right location. LOL! YES! That is true. But focus your eyes on Moldova and you will be 50% correct.
I will be concluding “Whispers in the Forest” in a week or two and is currently writing on a new saga.
This new story will play out in South Africa in total – so, no geographical fiction! Although the plot of the story is half true and half fiction. (Imagination is something great – isn’t it so?)
The new story will involve: A pilot, of course! (The MC.) A Bell Textron B222SP helicopter. (LOL) Two Game rangers. (One ranger is a tracker. One ranger is the “boss” of the outfit and for some South African historians will have a name that will jog your historical memories.) A persisting storm that will flood parts of Limpopo, Mpumalanga, and the Lowveld of South Africa. And, oh yes – before I forget – a honey-blond Reality show TV presenter, also a game ranger but with a twist.
There will also be some “turd-burglars” in the story. So, there you have it!
For those of you that want to Google the location: Here is some name-dropping: Kruger National Park. Pilgrim’s Rest, Skukuza, Sabi, Graskop, Hazy View, Punda Maria. Elephant Camp, Sabi Sabi, Sandringham, Malelane, Sabi Sands... And of course, the Sabi River.
Do you nice people require a map?
The first chapter is in the bag and back from the editors. Oh yeah, the title? “Let the River Run.” A metaphor for much of the plot of the story...
In the words of Carly Simon: “Let the river run! Let all the dreamers wake the nation. Come, the New Jerusalem...”
Happy search!
So, here is chapter 14 of “Whispers in the Forest.” Enjoy!
All the best and God bless!
Bye 4 now!
