  1. I am really enjoying this story. Poor Adam, leaking anxiety from every pore, contending with Jamie's ambiguous behaviour. Jayden is a standout.

    Well, this sound ominous! Great start.

    Chapter 1

    A wonderful, sparkly story! But really, no sequins? Shoulda spent less time on building roads, sewers, and the whole veni-vidi-vici thing and more time inventing glitter. We'd all be better for it if they had.
  4. How the turns have tabled! Excellent development.

    What a lovely story! I have never been to Mykonos (yet!), but I have been on other Greek islands, and you nail the indolent, hormone-washed atmosphere beautifully. Just needs more semi-feral cats sitting in judgement. Also more shirtless Australians.

    A really steamy scene in the bunks, and the conversation was sterling. Thank you for sharing this.

    Some very colorful insults. I especially like "fish-bone-faced bastard"!

    Here is a powder monkey on the USS New Hampshire in 1864. Child Labor Laws were far in the future!
  9. Calculations The Navigation Lesson — Morning Watch near Barbados A golden morning spilled across the deck, the sea dappled with gold, the salt air sharp with tar and sunlight. HMS Absolute was making ready to sail. Rumors of action crackled like distant musket fire in the salt air. Anticipation of engagement with anything from a rogue privateer to the entire French West Indies squadron gave spice to the days aboard. Lieutenant Pitt stood beneath the taut canvas of th

    Food for thought! I feel for Jack, and am pulling for Nick to see his way to treating the lad better.

    Chapter 5

    "What am I willing to risk for the truth of what I want?" THIS has so much promise for the future development of this story.
  12. Oy! Sisters, amiright? Great chapter,
  13. This is a great read. I first came across the term "rogering" years ago. Was it Samuel Pepys' diaries? Some randy old goat or another.

    Chapter 4

    Good to see the backstory on Dallas. That should be interesting going forward.

    Chapter 4

    This is a well-written story with compelling characters, but I have worked for years for a large multi-national corporation based in the EU, and we constantly are reminded that any non-professional relationships between employees in the same reporting hierarchy is strictly off-limits, so every couple of paragraphs my heart rate spikes thinking that disaster is about to fall!

    Track 17

    That closing scene has a lot of pain in it. Well done!

    Sam to the rescue! Ser Graeme says, “Then let’s hope these bandits will see reason and we’ll have no grounds to use our weapons this day.” I hope for some ringing metal!

    Prologue

    Thank you, those are certainly the titans that cast long shadows over this era and this genre.
  19. The Becoming Crossing the Threshold — Skiff to HMS Absolute The cutter pulled away from HMS Vigilant with no ceremony at all, its oars biting the sea in practiced rhythm. Midshipman Blake sat near the stern, spine rigid, hands fisted in his lap, the sea spray cool on his face, the folded letter from Adams tucked safe against his heart. Fate, he thought, was no lady. She arrived in a borrowed coat and spoke in other men’s voices. Coincidence, some might say. But Blake had begun

    Chapter 3

    This story is really picking up momentum. I look forward to new developments with Dallas since the character seems so complex. I worry about Timmy and his merry gang of morons. That type of bully doesn't take being rebuked very well, and they often strike back more vicious and well away from the eyes of authority.

    Chapter 1

    This is a powerful story. Those who survived those dark days need to keep the memory alive, and those who came after need to hear about the fight.

    Always nice to put a face with a name! Thanx for the pic.
  23. Mmmmm... a 1/3 share in a Swedish holiday home! Now I want a slice of Princess Cake.

    Wow! That is very clever.
