Before I forget, you spell the lady's name Elisha at the end of this chapter, but I saw the next chapter is called Alisha. Is it the same chick?
Did I read that this is based on your friend's life? You have some interesting friends!!!!
Stephano seems to be a composite of a lot of gamblers that never figure out when to quit. I wonder what's in his future? Can't see it being very good!
Interesting start. :-)

I'll blame the antibiotics! I swear I didn't know what my name was for my first few days here. I kept thinking I was going to drop dead and someone would find me in a smelly state a couple of months down the line! Now the volume has gone on the TV in the lounge - very frustrating! Roll on Sunday and civilisation! Alexis xxx
Comment from Brett Matthew West
Being a millionaire isn't necessarily all it is cracked up to be. Then, most people only want you for what you can materialistically provide them with. Well written story draws readers into the scene nicely.

So true! Anthony is no exception to the 'hangers-on' brigade, and is beginning to tire of it already. Alexis xxx
Comment from Walu Feral
G'day Alexis. This is a great start to the new book mate. I could give you a six for each chapter of yours that I read but I don't have one, so you'll have to accept it from my heart. Sounds like there could be a sordid affair coming up on that yacht to me but I'll wait for the next chapter. Great job my friend. Cheers Fez

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Fez. I just fancied a change from mad chefs and frustrated ghosts! Alexis xxx
Comment from Ulla
Alexis, This is an exciting beginning to a new novel. So far Anthony seems to be an all right guy but you are also introducing other characters building up to a conflict, which make me want to know more. Stephano seems to be a week spot to Anthony. Very well written. Ulla xxx

Thank you, Ulla! both your review and shiny stars have made my day. Off to France tomorrow, so writing and cutting the grass for two weeks. Alexis xxx
Comment from Margaret Snowdon
Wow - this sounds promising, Alexis - Anthony sounds a great character,
but his friend Stephano weak - gambling all that money away (if it's true)
And now Anthony has his eyes on the beautiful Lisa who is already married - we are yet to hear all about her - am looking forward to that.

It was nice playing with a new character for a change. This will be a short one while I'm turning LTD into a film script - a serious slog! Alexis xxx
Comment from Joy Graham
It's interesting to see the world through the eyes of the filthy rich. A world I have no connection with. This introduction makes me anticipate a character I will soon dislike. I smell an affair in the air. I wish the gal had a more modern name other than Lisa. I look forward to seeing where this new story leads.

Maybe, but you might change your mind. As we all know, whilst necessary, money doesn't always make you happy - lol, neither does being broke! Alexis xxx
Comment from rwilliam
I really liked the first chapter of this book! The photo and description put right there on that yacht! You held me captive the entire chapter. This is going to be a fun read... once again, my friend. :-)
'You of all people knows how it goes, Anthony--I don't think you need the 's' after know...:-)
Bravo, keep up the good work. I am impressed by you girl!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It was a pleasant change writing from a guy's perspective! Off to France for a couple of weeks, so loads of time to write when I'm not cutting grass. Thank you so much for the fab six! Alexis xxx
Comment from Jay Squires
Interesting first chapter, Alexis. You develop the POV character well in a couple of scene situations and in backstory.
An entertaining beginning.
First of all, best of luck on having a publisher be interested in your novel. Keep my fingers crossed!
'You of all people knows how it goes, [You of all people KNOW how ...]
Anthony sees Lisa and things start heating up.

Lol, that's the Glaswegian coming out, I'm afraid - we knows you know! Thank you so much for your review, Jay. Alexis xxx
Comment from Ric Myworld
Well written and loaded with all the things that make us fools susceptible to the wills of others, keeping us children in search of and in need. Some of us anyway. Thanks for another great chapter, one of my favorites of all your posts, yet. Great job. :-)

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
How do you do it? You have 3 on the go now! Changing one into script, one unfinished, and one just starting!! I am having trouble writing just one little verse about a walrus!! I have to say this sound like it could be a rather good story, but I want to know what is going on in the hotel as well. Are you struggling with it now? Well, I like this, so I will be reading it and waiting to see where you take us this time. I really am struggling at the moment, it didn't take much either, just a couple of days off and I can't get into the swing again, talk about a big headache. Tell me all about this change of heart tomorrow, why you decided to start a new one now. I need to know these things!! Are you in tomorrow afernoon? xsx Sandra x

Not really. The screenplay is my afternoon work, and the Bedford has to wait until the future of LTD is decided. I've had this one under my belt for a little while, so thought it was time it came out! Alexis xxx
