Hi all,

Just checked out Andy's site and he's posted the first chapter of the re-worked 'Kestrel'. You can navigate through his site to push up his visitor stats and read the story there, at:

http://www.starbase23.net

Or you can go straight to the story itself at:

http://www.starbase23.net/Stories-Jaeih-03Kestrel.html

I'll post the link here for every new chapter put up.

Happy New Year to all!

Kestrel - Chapter Two

Hi all, me again.

Looks like Andy's posted the next chapter of 'Kestrel' on his site, and he's promised me he'll be updating my story every week. I'm holding you to that, Andy!

As before, you can navigate through his site to push up his visitor stats and read the story there, at:

http://www.starbase23.net

Or you can go straight to the story itself at:

http://www.starbase23.net/Stories-Jaeih-03Kestrel.html#Chapter02

Keep reading, and by all means, please comment here to let me know what you think of it. Obviously, the first few chapters may be familiar so I'm not expecting too much from you so soon, but I am hoping for copious feedback later on.

I'm serious! *grin*

For now, read and enjoy, and form your opinions.

Where the smeg is everybody?

No new story chapters or comments from anyone for a week! What's going on? Is everyone busy? Still recovering from New Year's? What?

The spring semester just started, and I'm thinking I've started to get burned out on ST fiction writing. We'll see how things go, though - I might have something else in the works soon.

Admittedly, due to the tumbleweeds rolling through here recently it's just as well I'm not expecting a lot of feedback for the early chapters...

I must say, I'm finding this a very fascinating who-dun-it story so far.  Far too many things fit neatly together for this to be an accident.  Eagerly looking foreward to the next chapter.

As for the tumbleweeds...I was in the process of editing my next act last night when I got side-tracked.  After a few rounds around my other stomping grounds, I'll get back to it.  If everything goes as expected, I'll have the next act up in a couple of hours.

I have a non-ST story I'm going to post but I haven't got round to it yet.  First of the year is always so busy...

...but I am reading Kestrel.  You know how I feel about it already, too. ;D

Looks like Jaeih vanished again, so I'd better pick up the reigns for this while she's out on patrol.

The latest chapter of 'Kestrel' is now up. For those not actually following my site (and why the jolly smeg not!?!), we are now up to Chapter Seven.

You can go to my site at: www.starbase23.net,

Or, you can go direct to the story at  www.starbase23.net/Stories-Jaeih-03Kestrel.html

Also, apologies to Jaeih for this week's posting being a few days late. The wife absconded to Walla Walla with the laptop, so I had no internet (or stories to upload!)

 Keep things straight, thar, Andy!  ;)


Kestrel is looking great - thus far.  Tension - from several sources, good storyline, interesting characters (and some evil, unrepentant ones), what more could be said? 
 ;D

Well, okay, I'm not looking for errors and flaws.

Ok.  I was gonna wait 'til the end and read it all at once, but I can understand your lust for criticism.  I'll get to it.

Kadh, thanks for your pledge to read, I appreciate it. I have found that several of my regulars are waiting for the whole story to be published to read it whole rather than piecemeal. I know that the story will be better received for this, as breaking it up does tend to ruin the flow, so I think I'mm make my peace with those who are waiting for he whole thing. I will expect a deluge of critiques and comments once "that's all, she wrote" comes around, though.

Now come on, the rest of you! For those who are reading chapter by chapter, I want to know what you think of my story! I worked hard on this, I'd like to know what you think of it so far!

Nice read so far...you've got me wanting to see the next chapter every week.

Character wise, I hope Jaeih rips the head off the Master Engineer herself.
