Hello Tony,
I'm still here.
Great writing. As always, the detail is finely balanced - well delivered yet not too convoluted to detract from the tale.
Not a single SPAG for me to pull you up on, and the pace hasn't flagged at all. This contact is more for encouragement than review!

cheers

I see you have a new profile picture: perhaps a note that you are the one in the glasses may help (I mean, assuming that you are the one in the glasses, that is).

Thanks for airdropping six stars in passing and your continued assertions that this is going well. If it ever gets published, I shall blame you for encouraging the folly.

As for the new picture, I am so often in the doghouse that it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish which is which.

I read and hugely enjoyed your West of Nod and will respond in due course.

This is certainly picking up momentum. I am glad I stuck with you. Reading something strange is good for us. I am looking forward to the next installment. Good work.
Karen :-)

This is an extremely exciting chapter. I sense trouble and danger from all directions, except for Steve Kraft of course, he seems totally trustworthy. A point of peace in a rough sea. kay

Excellent

So now Ayesha is learning what it's like to get to know what it's like being a client in the world of high finance, mind you I can guarantee it's a bit difficult, though I was never in that league. Ayesha's pretty sharp, she knows somebody's following her. So, where to now. Beautifully written Tony, blessings Roy

Most welcomed

I hope she sees the newspaper. It looks like they are already trying to stitck her up, and get hold of her money. Is the bank manager involved? Hmm. Life isn't going to get any easier for Ayesha, is it. I hope Steve Kraft will help her, perhaps more than either of then realise at the moment? And, has he read the papers this morning? I will be hoping for another chapter soon ... very soon! Well done, Tony, another excellent chapter, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

You are very welcome, Tony. Regardless of my win, I still think yours is the better, but thank you for the congrats. That is so kind of you.
