Thank you for this, and I thoroughly enjoyed this story from beginning to end. I fervently hope you find a way to continue this in a second book, and understand if you choose not to. It is just the greedy reader in me. And then a memory that didn’t feel entirely like his own. Declan’s voice. The passage tombs at Carrowkeel are cruciform. Three chambers not two. They had never reached the third. &&&&& The thought arrived the way the important things always arrived. Without announcement. Without drama. Just quiet and certain and already in motion. He needed to go back. Back to Ireland. Back to the farmhouse. Back to the ruined tomb. This is one of the best stories I've read so far this year, and I thank you for that!

I have read this and highly recommend this story, a true delight to read, and a reminder for all of us to remember our LGBQ elderly neighbors.

Here in the center of the universe, Central Massachusetts, the long-range forecast has both Saturday and Sunday as rainy days, with clearing on Monday...followed by more rain on Tuesday and Wednesday....Sheesh.... I've been restoring a pre-WW2 car as a hobby, I call it my fundsarelow project. It has taken the better part of fifteen years, as I worked on it when the funds weren't low. Finally, it is registered, insured, and has license plates. I had plans to use it over the holiday weekend and had been asked to drive it in our small-town Memorial Day parade, but if it is raining...all bets are off...fingers crossed. We have a few elderly veterans who can no longer walk, and I am praying I can use the car; if not, then my daily driver. Wishing everyone a safe, enjoyable, BBQ'ing holiday weekend!!!

I suggest Valium.....for both the child and myself....🤔

Dimi needs a brother or two!!

The times they are a changing….Rashid was given something to think about, will it take hold? I’m still hoping for a fever to take him to Allah. When the religious zealots run out of things to blame for their misfortunes, they get even uglier….And no one in our traveling party is safe from them. An army of ten thousand approaches, the only chance is to strike them as they approach, hit them when they are tired from their march… Ashot, where is he and what is he up to? I am convinced his love for Stephen will bear fruit for the cause… Spring is coming…right??

Bingo, I had much the same thought, it was the way he flashed out of there that convinced me…

Same recipe as Coke Zero??

Looks like Joe’s sell by date hasn’t been reached….

Shy William is not so shy any more. I wonder what the story is with his parents?

Ryan, you lucky boy…

Benedetto’s actions and sermons, while stirring unrest and unease among lower classes, are having a powerful effect otherwise. The major religious houses can see the support they depend on threatened by the instability Benedetto preaches. He has in fact, far overreached his proper role in the scheme of things. By not directly condemning or confronting him, Lorenzo and his fellow merchants have allowed him to become a problem for his superiors to “manage”.

Time, it is said, heals all wounds…this estrangement between Dante and Alice, hopefully will pass or ease with time. I suspect there could be workarounds for Dimmi to attain his freedom…he could always be sold to someone like Alice with the agreement that she would free him… Matthew is sort of pissing me off knowing the stuff in his closet would not welcome the light of day…he owes much to the Mitchels and others, and he should make peace with his miserable self… What is the status with Mistress Carolyn? I find it amusing that Dante is a tad jealous over Dimi’s first word…how long till he tells Frank to talk to his son over some mischief Dimi got into???

There’s always the possibility it may be that someone else is the father…

Thank you for sharing this with us!

Thomas is, if he isn’t already, a psychopath….devoid of empathy or understanding that it isn’t just his world, one filled with bit players. The question becomes, will Leo completely surrender and lose out on a connection with Kenny?

Joe is in for a possible unexpected surprise……

Will Joe learn pride goeth before the fall?

Oh my goodness, what intriguing possibilities…..dare one hope?

What he said…

Johnny is finding out how to take the masks off, and act from the deep well of being. Letting the raw honesty speak.

Baby making roulette is a game one should only play with a clear head….the one on top and the one below the belt….

I need a milkshake now and good riddance to the bible thumpers….

I’m being greedy and am begging for a second book…..so sad this is wrapping up!
