“Can Everton Jones figure out how his father managed to steal Emperor Bokassa’s diamonds and where he hid them before the world and his brother get there first?”

Cut From Chapter 1: In the Old Bull and Bush It was a hot and stuffy August night and the bus ride from Birmingham had been a nightmare: a howling child and roadworks on the M1, but at last it was over, thought Everton Jones to himself, as he hauled a heavy leather bag from the boot of the bus onto the dirty pavement and lit a much needed fag; and then, glancing at his watch, just time for a quick one before the pubs close, and then I can think about finding the Hotel. He had been looking

Chapter 6: Peckham Police Station As he was driven off in the police-car, Everton waved goodbye to a shocked Edouard, Kash and Ricqui. He was in the back with a young Sikh policeman, two white guys in front. ‘So, what happens next?’ he asked the Sikh guy. ‘Well…’ he began, ‘Mr.… actually… We aren’t quite sure is it? I mean, are you Mr. Jones or…?’ ‘Look, I told you, my name is “Everton Jones”. This is all a big mistake. I can’t even remember what it says on that bank card!’ ‘Mr. J

Chapter 5: Welcome to the Pleasuredrome ‘Hey, this place has really changed,’ Kash said, as they got to the new entrance round the back of the sauna and had the funny card system explained to them at reception. ‘You mean I have to carry this thing around with me all the time Silvio,’ he asked a skinny Brazilian guy behind the counter. ‘Well only if you want to use the credit you’ve just put on it for coffee or a sandwich. Most guys leave them in their lockers, don’t they Ricqui?’ he said,

Chapter 4: Celebration in Kudos ‘G-I-R-L-F-R-I-E-N-D… twenty THOUSAND pounds!’ Kash squealed, as they emerged onto the street. ‘No, Three HUNDRED thousand dollars more like,’ Everton replied. ‘Heck yeah! Give me a big five and a hug!’ They threw their arms around each other. ‘We two gorgeous rich kats now!’ ‘Yeah, look, I’m shaking! It’s unbelievable! I need a drink!’ ‘And I know exactly where to get one! Come on, let’s get a train.’ They crossed the road to the station and a car

Chapter 3: Mr. Stevens ‘Is the tube always like that?’ Everton asked as they turned out of New Cross Gate station. ‘You mean that Chinese girl? She was hot, wasn’t she?’ Kash replied. ‘What? I meant the boy in the white tee-shirt.’ ‘So did I. Come on Girlfriend, go with the programme. Maybe if you weren’t waving your big dingaling at her? Did you see her little wifey flicking her hair, she knew what was going on and she didn’t like it. But the boy was a bit too girly for me. What do

Chapter 2: Breakfast in Kenton The next morning, Kash and Edouard were sharing their usual breakfast of pain au chocolat and coffee in the kitchen. They were keeping their voices down, but had been arguing. ‘Look here,’ Kash was saying, ‘Everton’s had a big shock. Can’t you see? I just don’t want you taking advantage of him.’ ‘Me, take advantage of him? You were the one all over him last night. I think it is you who should be keeping your hands to yourself.’ ‘Well, he is gorgeous, I

The Beginning James Stevens waited until the Bank Manager had left the vault before turning the key in the lock and sliding the bank box out of the wall. It felt heavier than most as he thudded it down onto the table in the middle of the familiar, austere room. He came here at the same time every Monday to manage the assets he and his partner Roger Williams had been entrusted with by various crooks, back in the Seventies. Some of them were even household names, synonyms for violence and gr

Just got the weekly digest... Thanks guys! Actually, I went back and read the Sisters' website again. It turns out the project was based at one of the Manchester (England) universities and revolved around a computer translation program. Apparently they just input an english-polari dictionary, the text of the bible and pressed return! (something of a simplification, but that's the general idea.) I guess when the day eventually comes around that's what publishers have lawyers for, but I'm not going to stress about infringing copyright on here. If you're intrerested Mark, the links in my original post go their dictionary and some texts about polari. I certainly had great fun writing the polari dialogue and when I get that chapter online I'll add post a glossary as well.

PLEASE take a moment to complete this poll. I combined the first two chapters of the original draft to make the story more pacy. I've just posted the original chapter one (In the Old Bull and Bush). It would be great to have some feedback on which you prefer. More sex on its way with the next upload. Hope you've enjoyed what I've posted so far. Thanks. Links to novel text and discussion forum in my signature.

If anyone's watching this, I've just opened a forum in "Writing" to discuss something which occurs much later on. Feel free to visit and comment if you wish. Seems like I can't post e-fiction announcements yet, I've just posted the original opening which I thought you would like.

In my book, "Bokassa's Last Apostle" I have a chapter which involves an exorcism carried out by a member of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. When I committed myself to this I must admit I had forgotten that in the UK they use "polari" instead of Latin in their services. (Polari is a largely dead made-up language used by gay men back in the 50's so they could talk openly in public without being understood by straight people). It took the best part of a day to google enough voccabulary and compile a dictionary and then I wrote the dialogue and translated the Catholic rite of exorcism (I used an extract from here) and the Our Father into polari. The Manchester Chapter of the Sisters have translated the entire text of the Bible into polari and the glossary at the end was particularly useful. On their website they say it is copyright. I included one of the psalms from their site as a reading in the service. Assuming all of the original texts above are out of copyright, can the Sisters claim to have copyrighted the voccabulary of a language? Or the translation? The voccabulary of Polari is fairly limited and they had to introduce several new terms of their own: Jodie Crystal = Christ, Sadie = the devil, Fantabulosa Fairy = Holy Ghost, etc. People coin new words in English every day. If I am re-using words in polari coined by someone else, is that a breach of copyright? Or can a translation be considered copyright? Is this going to be a problem for me? HELP! To give you a flavour, here's an extract including my translation of the Our Father (most people in the west are familiar with the text, so you can see how it works from the context) :

The book is here: Bokassa's Last Apostle Chapter 5 went up yesterday. Appropriately enough, as that's 5 posts!

Ok, I'm going to see if this works. Thanks to Nephylim there's now a forum for Bokassa's Last Apostle. If you want to talk about the book, please go to the forum, or general chit-chat can go to my email. Yay! I just hope the links work when I put this post up. Chapter 5 went up yesterday. Ta Nephylim!

Thanks Nephylim., 5 posts isn't so difficult a target after all! hehe. I've just found out where to go. Brilliant! Thanks again!

Thanks Nephylim. Hope you liked the latest developments? You kinda got what you wanted, and that's just going to go on being trrue, I think, having seen some of your writing!!! LOL, Absolutely no surprises being spoilt here. I'll try and find the forum and keep writing here for now. There are rather a lot of places to post in here. I think I should keep coming back to the same place for a while. Hi Drewbie, thanks, you're welcome.

Hi Everyone, just joined up and have posted the first few chapters of my book "Bokassa's Last Apostle". Anyway, if you like what you see there, I'd love to hear from you. Once I've bust my 5 post limit, I'll try and get a place for people to post about Bokassa's Last Apostle, if there's enough interest. I can't judge how good 237 reads is? Email replies are best at this stage, or REVIEWS!!! Anyway, enjoy reading! Rod.
