Algy!

[Cole Parker]

Our emu has done it again with another brilliant tale of the Doings of Algy. I love this character and hope more of his tales will be forthcoming.

I read the first few paragraphs in a spare moment, and was hooked. A great story with suspense, humour, whimsy and drama in spades. Nice to know Tricky's full name, for some reason he's the character I most identify with... Tristram's a great name, reminiscent of a northcountry vet! Another triumph for our heroic emu. May his feathers never lose their strength.

Wasn't the vet actually Tristan? I believe so.

Yes, Camy's story had all that and more. Plus blood. Algy's blood.

Remind to never go on the Heath, not that I'm likely to ever get to the old country at my age. If I did, the thugs would probably run from me anyway...whoever heard of an orang-utan on the Heath? Although I have been known to be on heat.

I am certainly hot for Camy's story. I loved the Aussie twins, but dinkum isn't quite used liked that. It's usually a question or an exclamation such as, "Fair dinkum, mate, I'm telling you the truth."

Which translates as, "Honestly, I am being fair dinkum." And yes it is usually used with 'fair'.

However, it really isn't important and doesn't detract from the story at all, and there is always the possibility that the twins lived in Queensland where they talk funny.

Thanks for a great story Camy, I really needed something to take me out of my depression and Algy (both stories) most assuredly did that.

I vote for another chapter in Algy's life...you've certainly left the hooks in place for a follow-up.

There absolutely has to be another episode. We just can't leave Algy in the state he's in (that's not a spoiler, it's a teaser). Think thesis, antithesis, synthesis and get to it, Camy.

[Cole Parker]

We're seeing a novel evolve right before our eyes.

Chaper by chapter.

Slowly.

Some would say too slowly.

At this rate Camy will have to send me the last chapter by Ouija board.

Excellence takes time.

I just read these this afternoon and they're delightful! Good job! I want more!

[Camy]

Thank you all for the very kind words.

Thank you, Tracy.

Algy's Peril 3 is up! I won't say anything to spoil it for anyone, except woo hoo, what a satisfying read!

I dropped everything, including my des_pair just so I could be rewarded with Algy's peril 3.

I was not the least bit disappointed. Terrific story Camy, beautifully written and just what I needed.

Thank you so much.

Finally was able to finish the third chapter. I have told Camy before that I find his prose musical, and these stories were no exception. Reading them was thoroughly diverting and pleasurable.

Thank you all!
