Hi
21 Pages and I'm on Chapter 8. I remember the average AH Book being around, ooh, 30 pages possibly, maybe. Stretch to 40. The 21 pages so far and full of mission stuff as well as action. You also meet the new character, called Rebecca. She is going to be very important. Though I guess not how you think.
I'll be writing more over the next few weeks and will keep you updated.
Speak to you soon!

4: Number 5123
Hi
5, 123 words, sixteen pages. Halfway through Chapter 6. Chapter 5 is 4 pages long (A4 pages).
So yeah, the book's going well. It's a pleasure to write it again, it really is. So, yes - what else? Well, James and his new work colleague have just gone on the mission and I've written a great bit in Chapter 6. It's a long phone conversation that spans 3/4 of a page, but it's brilliant.
There is a bit of repetition from CH.5 and CH.6, but this is only because the Ch. 6 bit clears one of the rules up. It's not a direct boring reptition.
The story is truly brilliant. It is split into two parts, almost.
One problem. The books have been named after a mission or objective.
TRIPLE D - The villian's plan.
GOLDEN THUNDER - The villain's organisation.
I can't call the new book T.R.A.I.N.!
Speak to you soon!

3: Chapter 4
Hello all.
So I'm now on Chapter 4. I'm going to let you read a bit in a minute. But firstly. I have written the plot and it proves the story's going to be brilliant. It's basically a mix between Stormbreaker, CHERUB, Casino Royale and the conclusion to one of my other books, Mist of the Robbers.
It's all about a Commander's plans - and most importantly. The number 195.
Here is a bit of the story:
James Taylor was sitting on the comfy chair inside the stuffy room that was the MI7 Captain's Office. The captain, John Bright, was planning to put James on another mission.
What do you think? Remember Alex was shot at the end of Golden Thunder, but did he survive?

2: Sneak Preview
Hi
Just to get you interested in Book 3.
There was that noise again. It seemed to ring round James’ ears, haunting him. What the hell was it? Why couldn’t he figure out what that was? Maybe his mind was trying to block it out.
The first paragraph!
Wow!
More news soon!

1: Book Number 3
Hello everyone and Welcome to the ALEX HARPER ADVENTURES Blog.
For those who don't know, Alex Harper Adventures are a series of books I write. However. This blog is really for my family and my friends and their families.
Book One: Triple D
Released around 2006-early 2007.
Sees Alex Harper and James Taylor stop a mad singer from launching a Triple D rocket and setting off a chain reaction.
Book Two: Golden Thunder
Released 2009
Sees Alex and James, now working for an MI service, stopping Matthews (teacher working for Golden Thunder) and a kid agent (working for Golden Thunder) blowing up MI7 and then the school. Book ends with Alex getting shot.
Book Three: T.B.C.
Released 2010
Currently being written (I'm on Chapter 3). This sees James going on another mission. But is he going with Alex?
I know the answer to that question. I'm constantly told by my friends it's the Alex Harper series so he has to live! But that isn't necessarily what has to happen. He doesn't have to live.
More news VERY soon!
