  1. Past hour
  2. Hi Man, I’m good but a bit tired after driving down to visit family for Easter - I was surprised at how dry everything was and then heard that we are keeping the massive water bomber until June. Hot and crispy country side until June

    Speaking of UK authors, I must add @lomax61 to the list of all-time favorites!

    @James Carnarvon is another favourite. I’m a real fan. I was lucky enough to spend Easter week there in Ravello in 1985ish, it is so beautiful. I had a room overlooking what was supposedly the inspiration for Klingsor’s Magic Garden in Parsifal. Little did I know it would become my favourite opera. I’m saving a couple of James’s books to read on holiday this weekend. Gx

    He and @James Carnarvon are holding the flag high for your birth nation @Gary L; both setting a very high standard indeed.

    Another v enjoyable chp. In the midst of some very good series coming out, Robert is holding his own as a champion writer.

    Indeed they do.

    Chapter 3

    As I recall, Cosmo shielded his brother when they were younger. Luca's attitude and actions now show him in a poor light.

    Poor Cosmo. The outcome of his approach to Vincenzo was inevitable as so neatly described by @drpaladin

    Are you suggesting that he is a Cosmonaught??

    Now don't be greedy @drsawzall, there looks like there is plenty to go around (and around and around and around). Join the queue and if you get there first make sure you share with your fellow readers.

    Chapter 3

    Vincenzo, trailer trash with money. What an over-inflated ego. I suspect the girl who was "totally giving him the eye" earlier on in the evening was Elisabetta. Cosmo's description of her suggests her appearance could be described as an "emo chick". Now to Luciana ("ferry girl"). I hope she is lesbica, and from the comment Cosmo shouted at Vincenzo this is a possibility. Whether she is lesbica or not, I hope Luciana is as enamoured with Vincenzo as he was with Cosmo and she delivers a wound to his pride and joy such that he is literally "numbnuts". I hope Vincenzo's assault on Cosmo (and that is exactly what it was) somehow becomes known and he is ostracised for it. I also hope Cosmo does not suffer any ill after effects of what was/is a mild concussion. I have to agree with my fellow readers that Vincenzo's heterosexuality was obvious. His macho bullshit poured forth like molten lava on more than one occasion. Methinks he may be full of it, his obnoxiousness a cover for a pene piccolo. Poetic justice if he is. Figlio di puttana. Cosmo's appreciation of the life essence of the sea water on his skin recalled fondly many joyous times from my teen years and twenties @James Carnarvon. I spent a lot of time at the beach (tanning myself as we Aussies were prone to do in the 7o's, 80's, 90's and early 00's) and I found the salt water the very best of panaceas for my unattractive and painful facial acne. I also love to swim, and the aroma of coconut oil suntan lotion is still one of my favourite aromas of all time. Exotic and very sensual. Well written again @James Carnarvon. The lemons and lemon-themed ceramics made a welcome appearance. I for one think lemons make a very attractive decorative feature on plates, kitchen ware and bed linen. And Lemon, one of only a handful of songs I like by U2, but what a great song.

    Hi @JJ Quinn, I understand now. I can’t wait to read the following chps. Good luck 🍀

    Chapter 1

    Oh wow, thank you so much for sharing. Thats so sad yet it obviously made you a stronger person with more compassion and self-introspection, so you learned and grew from the hardship and that's so important to anyone. I hope you enjoy the story. Sam does learn eventually but there is a lot to go. I finished the story already but accidently posted as complete rather than in progress because I thought since I was pisting it chaoter by chapter thats how it should be. There is a footnote there are more chapters to come but I should probably reach out to and admin..thanks!

    Chapter 1

    Gary I mistakenly posted it as complete but there are many more chapters. It's long and I did post a footnote but thought because the story is physically done, just being uploaded by chapter, it had to be posted as complete not in progress. Apologies but I'm so glad you enjoyed the first chapter.
  20. JJQuinn

    Chapter 1

    Yes please! I appreciate the help. I can't figure out how to change it. I thought since the story was all written I had to put it as complete but nope, lots of chapters to come! I did write that as a footnote so hopefully that helps! And thanks Cane. LOL yes it is extensive but we get to the end eventually. I combined the original shorter chapters since people complained about their length on the other site so they're a bit long now.
