Thank you Nevis for your kind thoughts and appreciation. I looked forward to posting more history about my writing career.

This morning when I logged onto this site I was surprised to read a message about my writing and more surprised to see the results. Thank you all for spreading the word about my writing and your support. It gives me a warm feeling inside to know people like yourselves are spreading-the-word about my writing. I appreciate all of your efforts.

Now back to my latest novel - Detective Bundy Quicksilver. Yesterday writing the novel Bundy visited The Commissioner at his office. You see when The Commissioner was a constable and Bundy went to the police station to enlist, The Commissioner was the constable who helped him join the police. He'd followed Bundy's journey throughout his career and offered him this opportunity to work within the police again.

The Commissioner introduced Detective Superintendent Kathleen Emerson who would work with Bundy. At this stage Bundy has little idea of what work he needs to do and his future lies in the hands of Detective Superintendent Kathleen Emerson. It's a bit like Dennis Waterman playing the old retired detective in the television series 'New Tricks' on the ABC.

Wait until tomorrow to see where Bundy's life is about to change.

Detective Superintendent Emerson takes Bundy to her office on the 3rd floor of headquarters. It's a small dingy office with no windows; two desks, no telephones, and a computer on each desk.

Bundy is a little shaken by this experience and attempts to find out from Detective Superintendent Emerson his role. She's not forthcoming with the idea. You could say they didn't get off on the best of footings.

It wasn't an argument but close enough to it but with Bundy's smooth patience and desire to 'get back on the horse' he shows the officer respect. Actually he feels for her because after finding out she is as old as his daughter Nicole and already reached the rank of Superintendent, she either must have worked and studied hard or got there some other way.

Bundy remembers his day as a junior detective - the Superintendents in those times were old enough with a copuple of years to retire. He has his work cut out to know what The Commissioner has for him to do and how what it has to do with working with Detective Superintendent Kathleen Emerson.

The reason I came up with these names and scenes were through a dream I had a couple of nights ago. The scenes were so real I actually thought I was playing them out in reality. However, it was only a dream. I must be focused on writing this book more than anything else to actually dream about it.

Wait until tomorrow and I share with you my thoughts which hopefully happen next.

Bundy's instinct tells him there are no telephones on the desks and asked Detective Superintendent Emerson the reason. Her reply, she only uses mobile phones and ipads.

These applications are foreign to Bundy who doesn't own a mobile phone nor an ipad. He has no idea what's gone wrong since he retired. He'll need to get up to speed with the latest technology. Everything has changed - technology has grown and far out-stretched Bundy's imagination.

He's still not told why he'd been given this assignment or even knows why The Commissioner wants him to work with Detective Superintendent Kathleen Emerson. There's got to be a reason - his mind reflects through the time he was in the force to recognize the name Emerson.

Yes - he had it, Cliff Emerson was his boss years ago. She looks a little like him in features, similar shape nose. He studied her from his desk. His thoughts gave way to a vision of sitting across from Cliff Emerson one morning to discuss what he should do with his career.

Cliff Emerson was a leader, a great investigator from the old school, who never gave up on any investigation. He'd served in the Stock Investigation Squad as well as the Criminal Investigation Branch. How should he approach the subject?

Wait until tomorrow to find out what happens. Is Bundy intruding and does he get a rap across the knuckles.

Seeking out information how her father is going and finds out he died. Which direction does he go from here to melt this ice cold female and break her exterior.

He is determined to know the connection between The Commissioner and Detective Superintendent Kathleen Emerson. Is there a connection or is she as good as she makes out.

Suddenly tears start to form in the eyes of Kathleen; Bundy hands her his handkerchief to wipe them away. The mention of her father and now to work with a detective he once worked with kicks off deep emotions. Would her father be proud of what she has achieved? Would he treat her differently now she is working with a detective he mentored. His death was sudden, she never had an opportunity to say her proper good-byes and to tell him how much she loved and adored him.

Bundy understood the feelings of losing a loved one. Although it'd been eight years since he lost the love of his life, he still carried the love he'd always had for over thirty-one years.

NOTE: I'm making this up as I'm going along. Thoughts flow from my mind and I'm writing them as they flow. Words fall onto the screen and hopefully you are enjoying the story so far.

Wait until tomorrow and I'll think of something else.

Chapter 1 is complete and Chapter 2 is progressing well. Bundy has settled his difference with Detective Superintendent Emerson after they visit the canteen to have a coffee.

Back in their office they discuss the reason why Bundy had been included to work with her. She has been working on an investigation for eight years. Bundy is now included in this investigation. He is to look at it with new eyes.

Bundy is back into the harness of being an investigator and keen to get on with the investigation. A file is downloaded for Bundy to take home and go through the 'running sheet' to see if he can see anything that's stands out.

Wait until tomorrow and I'll tell you what Bundy finds.
