Through Mark's stories available in his Yahoo group I came to learn of GA and joined in 2009. He is still my absolute favorite author.

I keep wanting to start reading CAP, then I just look at allllll of those chapters. I mean, it took me the best part of six months to read Castaway Hotel.

I will read it, I will. Maybe when I'm about 70 and retired, and I have nothing to do but sit and read all day

Andy- you're doing yourself a great disservice by not starting CAP now. You will get hooked - its good reading and intriguing. You never know what's going to happen next and you get involved in the lives of each of the main characters.

CAP is also one of my top favourites.

CAP and the Bridgemont Series are so wonderful, i personaly love each one and check daily, for updates, usualy for me which is nice, updates are between the 11-12P.M Centeral Canada time, so i'm just like getting into bed to enjoy a nice relaxing read before sleepy time. Now i started reading when Mark was half way through be-rad, of course i got annoyed at starting with be-rad, and not knowing some of the refrences, but it was a good start, i eventually did go back in to read the first few books before be-rad and now am a patient reader of each new chapter.

I honestly think i joined G.A because of Mark, Vlista, and Bill W. They all have amazing stories, although none as active as Mr. Mark Arbour!

Each chapter has you wanting more! more! more!

Andy, Bill W Castaway hotel is fantastic i admit, i read the original version rather then the revised edition, so i'm not sure exactly how it was changed, but once i read it once getting into it again was pretty hard since alot of the revised edition was in the original.

However since this is about Mark A here i must strongly suggest starting the series! however once started good luck taking a break, it's very addictive. after all there's a "Syndrom" for the bridgemont series if it takes to much of a break even! what the abreviation is i'm not sure. But alas! Read it! Mark Loves first post cherry's as he has had a ton, and welcomes each new one very well

Oh and to be clear, Mark Arbour calls me

~MM

NOT that i took his name in any way shape or form cuz i'm a fan....i'm just one of the many Mark's in the world.

Keep writing Mark! <3

I became a beta reader for Mark in August of 2008, and it's been a blast ever since.

Wow. What an awesome surprise! I came home from a long day to discover that Trebs had chosen to feature Paternity this week as the featured story. Thanks Trebs, for the spotlight, and for all the nice things you said. You are such a classy guy. And thanks for pulling those reviews out and highlighting them. I really have some great readers, and their feedback fuels me, encouraging me to go on! Finally, thanks to all of you who left nice comments. You all put a smile on my face after a pretty hectic day!
