Irish Summer By Andrew Todd Chapter 3 Cam held his breath as he watched Rory help Finn mount the black colt for the first time. With Rory busy helping his Uncle the past few days, Cam had spent most of his time watching Finn work with Prince and learning about the farm and horses. He was impressed with the youngster’s patience and control with the young horse. He didn’t know who was more excited for this moment, him, or Finn. Finn had been pestering Rory relentlessly as

Me, Too By Andrew Todd Chapter Three Now Jesse raced across the helipad with Ace following closely. After talking to the state police, they had one of the hands from Jesse and Dylan’s farm pick up the rig with the horses and Jesse arranged for a helicopter to get them from northern Florida to the hospital in Wellington. Jesse and Ace stepped out of the elevators and looked around the hospital floor. A man in a lab coat approached them. “Mr. Osterman?

Some chapters will be filling in gaps in the past to give a fuller story about how Dylan and Jesse got where they are now...and yes, I like my cliffhangers. 😉

Me, Too By Andrew Todd Chapter Two Then A few weeks before Spring Break of his Junior year at Lancaster Academy, Jesse was sitting in his & Dylan’s room finishing some homework when his phone rang. “Hello?” “Hey, Jesse.” “Hey, Trevor.” Even after almost a year, Jesse couldn’t bring himself to address his newfound father as ‘Dad’ or ‘Father’. He had come to terms with the reasons for his growing up not knowing Trevor and loved his new family, bu

Irish Summer By Andrew Todd Chapter 2 Cam felt the heat rising in his cheeks. Rory’s voice shook him out of his trance. “Cameron can ye shut the door, it’s a wee bit chilly.” He chuckled. “Oh, God, I’m s-s-sorry…” He stammered as he backed out of the bathroom and shut the door. He quickly ran across to the kitchen washed his hands and ran back to his bedroom. He practically dove under the comforter when he reached the room and prayed that he would quic

Me, Too By Andrew Todd Chapter One Now Jesse walked through the quiet barn enjoying a few minutes of peace before the chaos of the day’s events began. He inhaled deeply, taking in the comforting smells of the barn. After traveling the last few years, the familiar scents of the horses and barns always helped him find his center. Early morning in the barn was his favorite time. When he was home at his farm, he would make the rounds and greet each of the horses.

A new story following the lives of Dylan and Jesse from my 'Riding Lessons' series

Authors note: My first work in a few years, spurred on by ‘social distancing’ and boredom. Curious to see what you think. As usual, if you have any issues with same sex relationships, this is not the story for you. Irish Summer By Andrew Todd Chapter 1 Cam sat on the bank of the river, wiggling his toes in the lush green grass. The Irish countryside was even more gorgeous then he had ever expected. When his father announced that he had been offered

A young American finds family and love on the Emerald Isle.

Never knew this dreck started as 'fan fiction' until this week. I have no interest in seeing it. I'm not surprised that the movie is supposed to be better than the source material as Sam Taylor-Johnson is a respectable director, but reading the stories about all the clashes she had with the 'author' of the books make me cringe. I could see the studio giving power to an established or even good author, but to give this hack so much power over the film is insane. If the director had cast her hot husband (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) in the lead I might have seen it, but neither of the leads has the looks or charisma to make me suffer through the story. Honestly, if I want to watch porn, then I'll go to one of the hundreds of sites that offer far better material.

The Chosen By Andrew Todd Chapter 12 Kris heard the sirens in the distance and knew he didn’t have much time. He ran from the stall and went to the nearest tack room. He grabbed several large blankets and headed back to the scene of the fire. Along the way he saw a fire extinguisher and he grabbed that as well. He opened the door of the feed room and gasped when he saw the damage. He took the fire extinguisher and emptied the contents all over the room, trying to hit any area that looked

I usually 'fly without a net' dropping plot points for me to figure out later, but this one I've known how it works and who it works for from the beginning. Just haven't had to use it yet...should be coming up though...

Right now, no plans for more RL characters, but since I rarely plan too far in advance, who knows...

Actually, it wasn't my intent when I started to include those characters. When I decided to place Charlie and Kris in a Eastern boarding school, I figured a 'cameo' from my favorite RL boys would be fun...they've stayed longer than I had planned.

Thanks.

Thanks. One of my goals with Chapter 11, besides moving the time forward, was to give each of the boys a bit of spotlight.

I do have plans for the camping trip, but I'm not sure it's what some are going to expect. Kris's powers are still 'developing' in my head. He and Charlie were the hardest, cuz I didn't want to re-create Aquaman and The Human Torch.

Thanks. This was probably the hardest and easiest chapter to write. I'm glad the vast majority of my readers are understanding and supportive.

The Chosen By Andrew Todd Chapter 11 Stevie sat in the studio tinkering on the piano. It had been almost a month since Labor Day and since then things had been a whirlwind. He still had a hard time processing it all. One minute he was getting ready to enjoy a day at the beach with Dave and their new friends and the next minute he was in the middle of a science fiction film. When Benji first spoke to them telepathically, Stevie almost passed out. He was a country boy at heart and was n

Thanks, this is still one of the stories that gets to me every time I reread it, but Dylan is definitely my favorite of my characters.

Thanks, Ace has always been one of my favorite characters to write.

Thank you. I hope you found the main books of 'Riding Lessons'. The 'Interludes' are part of the second book 'Lessons Learned' and their story continues there.

You can thank my editor for this one being posted so quickly, he did a great job getting it finished quickly. So quickly in fact, that I haven't even finished 11 yet...

The Chosen By Andrew Todd Chapter 10 “Charlie, are you still with us?” Dylan asked. “Huh?” Charlie replied. “What?” “You look like you’re on another planet,” Jesse said. Jesse, Dylan, Kris and Charlie were seated at a booth in a local diner waiting for their orders to arrive. “Sorry, I guess I’m just tired,” Charlie sighed. “Did you overdo it at the pool?” Dylan asked. Charlie shook his head. “Not really. But Hunter showed up…” “Oh.” Charlie nodded. “Yup and of course he wanted to

Thanks.
