My pleasure. Your book deserves to have a place for comments and praise    

[Caz Pedroso]

Looking forward to the next chapter. Chapter one really drew me in. 

[Kitt]

Nicely done AC!  Was thinking he needed a Changes forum, but was waiting till things settled a bit. Your timing is perfect!

 

I greatly enjoyed chapter 1, and am looking forward to the rest Tim!  Well written and compelling. I will admit to reading a story here that I would not buy in a book store.(Yes, I still buy honest to goodness books!) This is the sort of compelling plot and the Calibre of writing that would prompt me to buy at B & N.

Chapter 2 has been posted!

[Kitt]

And is just as compelling as chapter 1.  I am glad to see this is not going to be a rainbow and unicorn farts recovery process for the boys!

Thanks Kitt.  No, no rainbows or unicorn farts.. LOL.  No, i've never really tried fantasy and this was the place to start.  I like to keep things real.

Chapter two was really good, tim.

 

I'm sure it's not going to be all smooth sailing, but Louis and Don seem like practical and rational people. I see them figuring things out - at times, loudly - and surviving their 'new normal'.

 

Inner doubts and fears and lamenting are no match for their love or need to be together.

 

@AC Benus  Good on you for creating this forum. 

[Brayon]

Chapters 1 & 2, are fantastic. I very much enjoyed the interactions between all three characters. Keep up the great work tim.

This is going to be hard to read... Not the topic matter, but the agonizing wait until next chapter.

Somehow I just can’t imagine you writing a story like that! It might be your biggest challenge to do that! I’m sure you’d have an interesting twist on the genre!  ;-)

I think you're right that our author does not shy away from challenges, big ones! He's done super well here making things down to earth.

Rainbows, I can see as being down to earth, but Unicorn farts…  ;-)

While no unicorn farts... He gave us Little Miss Pink Toes!

Agreed. This is a great story with a challenging theme, but tim is knocking if out the park. 

 

Last year when my young cousin passed, one week after we buried my uncle, and a month after we cautioned him from buying that motorcycle, (he was reckless) I found myself reasoning it was his own damn fault and it served him right. The guilt after, yes but...

so when Louis said that too, it hit me hard, but I knew what he was feeling. The doses of reality makes the story real and grounded for me. But I said that in my review...

oh Def .. i just want you to know, this story was started a few years ago, like After The Past, i kept the first chapter until the story wrote itself.  I am sorry for your family's loss. The anger is pretty normal. When Jeff killed himself, I was so angry at him for just giving up, for not accepting my help. It's one of the stages of grief. 

 

As i wrote Louis reactions throughout this story, i didnt want him to be 'the good and brave spouse who never faltered'. I wanted Louis to be human, to make mistakes, to be angry and afraid. Thank you, i'm glad that it feels real.

I still can't believe you read that. It was a lot of fun to write.  xo

i know we'll see more of his doubts, and his mistakes too., but I started to see how real Louis is, because of what he fretted about - no more sex - and how Don's injury affected him personally. It's not only Don that was losing something, because of the accident.

 

Nice of you to give him some hope about that, though.

I've read it plenty. It is sweet while having a message. I find messages in everything you write. Often making me reflect on myself.

I think Don's insecurities will hit him when he least expects. I'm curious to see in what ways. I can anticipate some ways how that will play out but for now, I love that he has the 'I'm not taking this lying down' attitude.
