Nyranda Adventures Notes

Not too long after Lester told Jasmine, “I’m going to build things, machines and buildings and bridges and everything I can,” Lester began working on one of the first things he would build, a motorcycle. At first Jasmine was content to ride on the back of Lester’s bike, but she saw how the freedom and raw power in his hands thrilled him and knew she had to have her own. She helped Lester build it.

“Do you remember the first bike we built together, Darling,” Lester asked Jasmine.

“Yes,” she said, but didn’t say any more in order to keep her promise to Marten.

Of course you’ll only understand that if you read the first Nyranda story.

All the characters in that first story, Jasmine Jackson, Eddy Blake, Lester Moore, Yuwon Lem, Veronica Blake, and Anthony Jackson, show up in this story, except that the last names of the girls have changed. All the children in this story, except for Freddy Cross, are the children of the characters in the first story.

Veronica Blake is now Veronica Arnault. Her husband Peter, owner and CEO of Arnault Pharmaceuticals, is serious about business, his love for Veronica, and his family, but little else. When Veronica became Mrs. Arnault their merged companies became Arnault-Blake Industries or ABI, because Veronica’s company included many chemical products in addition to pharmaceuticals.

Brittany, the Arnault’s oldest daughter resembled Veronica in many ways, but was less serious about many things than her “geeky” mother. She was also more attractive than Veronica had been as a girl.

Brittany’s younger sister, Briana, resembled her father. In many ways she was like her, “Aunt” Jasmine, who was not really her aunt. It was Jasmine’s unusual relationship with her uncle, Eddy, that made her seem like an aunt.

Lester and Jasmine Moore had two children, Megan the oldest, and the fiercely independent Connor who was just a year younger then Megan.

Eddy and Yuwon Blake had six children. Their second and third oldest, Philip and Liz, are most important to this story.

Freddy Cross is the only one who is not related in any way to those in our first Nyranda story, although Freddy’s grandfather on his father’s side, Hyram Cross, was a close friend of Lester Moore’s father, Stuart Moore.

The Arnault (Peter, Veronica) children are all cousins of the Blake (Eddy, Yuwon) children. Veronica is Eddy’s sister.

The Moore (Lester, Jasmine) children are all cousins of the Jackson (Anthony, Elaine) children. Jasmine is Anthony’s sister.

There is no relationship between any of the Arnault or Blake children to any of the Moore or Jackson children, but they all think of each other as cousins because of the relationship between Eddy and Jasmine. Below all the families and children that are part of this story are listed. Not all the children are important to the story. The most important are Connor and Megan Moore, Brittany and Briana Arenault, Liz and Philip Blake, Kenny Jackson and Freddy Cross.
