A new novel? Wow!
I'm not sure, yet, whether I like Anthony or hate him. I need more to go on. He sounds like a rather unusual mixture.
Congratulations on the implications of your Author's Note. Soon we won't see you for dust.

'I just made an error [in] *of* judgement' (unless 'error in judgement' is a Scottish variation I haven't come across).

Comment from scongrove
This is really interesting Alexis. I intrigued by this new story. You have a talent for writing girl! I would love to read more. So far, I like the characters you brought in. Sounds like this will be a romance.
But I'm still looking forward to reading about Samantha and Igor! Can't wait for that story to continue.

To be honest, it's been very refreshing writing about some new characters. Anthony is based on a real character, so I've at last agreed to use some of his 'millionaire' stories. Boy, and I thought I'd lived in exciting times! Bless you for the six, and many thanks for your continued support and encouragement. Alexis xxx

Since Anthony is based on a real character, that makes your story more exciting for me to read. Can't wait to find out more about this handsome guy.

Comment from Phyllis Stewart
So Anthony has found a new female interest but she's married. I'm sure that won't stop him. He can just buy her from her husband. LOL! This should be a fun story. :)

Many true word said in jest, but I think you might be surprised at how this pans out. Based on a real character who's been asking me to include some of his stories for a couple of years, it's been a real eye-opener! Alexis xxx
Comment from Annette Gulliver
Hi Alexis.
I wondered what was happening with Igor and the gang, but saw your notes, and all is well. Hope you have a success with the publishers.
Now, this new book looks to be an interesting one. Aah, the life of a millionaire, and the parties on board his yacht. I'm waiting to find out where the beautiful Lisa fits into the picture. Sounds intriguing.

The beautiful 'Lisa' might just about to be named 'Elissa' because one reviewer thinks it's a bit old-fashioned. What do you think? I think I'll be okay to continue 'A new beginning soon, but until 'Let's talk Dirty!' secures the right deal, I can't take any chances (some publishers hate the idea of anyone having read the book. This new book won't be that long, but it should keep me entertained! Alexis xxx

How about 'Alysha' ... just putting it out there lol

Comment from Cindy Warren
On the surface, Anthony appears to have no character whatsoever. I'm curious to see what makes him tick. He must know people show love and respect they don't feel because he has money. Is he OK with that?

Hopefully, you'll see a change in that in the following chapters. This won't be a long one, but it should be good fun!

Comment from royowen
Gee I'm really happy your story is being perused by a publisher Alexis! I like your new story, it's a change of pace compared to the "talking dirty" series, but I really enjoyed this story, looks interesting with shadowy characters, it looks like it's got great potential, looking forward, blessings, Roy.

I have to confess it's LTD that's being looked at, but because 'A New beginning' is a continuation of that, I'm having to hold up for a bit. Never mind, at least I can get into writing stories involving a friend who's had an amazing life instead!

Comment from Glasstruth
I enjoyed the change of pace. I don't know much about the rich except from what I read, as in biographies and from history I learnt that as Anthony does, so does the rich when it comes to supporting each other with money and information - unlike the middle class or the poor that keep most everything to themselves. Anthony is very confident and why shouldn't he be? That cigar and being finely dressed is statement of success. A wonderful chapter. Les

I lived in Anthony's world when I was married first time round, but although exciting, it was one of the most shallow, dog eat dog environment you could imagine. Anthony is based on a friend of mine who's been asking me to write something based on his story for the last four years, so here it is! Alexis xxx
Comment from Spitfire
Wow! Congrats on getting a professional interest. And congrats for not waiting, but starting another book. Did Anthony get his fortune through gambling or legitimate means. He seems harmless enough except that he lacks passion for anyone.

Since I first joined FS, I've had a few sabbaticals, but I'm in full-blown writing mode now, so this is a bit of light relief while I plough through the screen conversion of 'Let's Talk Dirty.' It's so nice to have new people to play with for a while! Alexis xxx
Comment from Curly Girly
This chapter seems like a promising start to an interesting story, Alexis.
And the other story ... has the interest of a publisher ... oh, my! Best wishes with that one.

To be honest, it's interest in LTD as a film that causes the problem because the two books are so closely related. I was gutted to think I might have to stop posting for a while, so 'Anthony' came to my rescue. He asked me to write his story, ages ago, so I thought I would get stuck in before I go off to France for a few weeks. A lot of it will be fiction, but hey, we writers have to embellish things a bit!

Comment from MelB
It's sad this guy thinks he can buy off his kid's affections and just show up when he wants. It gives a good glimpse into the mind of a wealthy tycoon and the way his mind works. I smell trouble with this woman he has locked eyes with!
I'm missing Igor and Samantha, but hope the publishing interest works out. Keep me posted!

As they say, there's two sides to every story, and Anthony has always been loved for his money, not himself. Don't worry about Igor and Samantha, I'll be writing up a storm while I'm in France for a couple of weeks. I always take my favorite characters with me! Alexis xxx
