On Board

LATEST NEWS. Today (7 January 2025), I have completed a thorough revision of On Board.  Wow, some 50 outright errors have been spotted and corrected. Many stilted action / descriptive paragraphs have been rewritten. Dialogue has been fine-tuned. The result: reading On Board will be smoother as there will be less jarring due to encountering errors, stilted / ambiguous action paragraphs and bloated / unflowing dialogue.

On Board is a multi-genre story. It's attraction at the box office is that it interweaves threads of who-done-it, romance, teenage capers, martial-arts, other-worldliness, crime-and-punishment, salvation (of others) and redemption (of oneself).
