    Chapter 25

    Gandalf commented on Ronyx's story chapter in Chapter 25

    It’s now 12:30 am and I started this story at 8:30 am in the morning. What a well done story. I took in my first foster son 51 years ago when he was 16 and I was 25. I’ve had several other foster kids and assorted temporary stray kids in my house over the years. I also was a Child Protective/ Child Welfare Worker for 25 years. This story felt so spot on. Thanks for your work. Guess I need to read you more. Pax. Ste

    Interesting how the christo-nazis seem to focus so much on the Old Testament rather than the teachings of Christ. thanks for your work.

    Ha. I needed a fairy tale at this moment. Thanks for your whimsy.

    Once again you are taking us into dark and confusing waters. Knowing you I’m sure it will be an interesting ride. Thanks again for your work! Pax. Ste

    TSA Chapter 6

    Gandalf commented on quokka's story chapter in TSA Chapter 6

    Not sure how it would sail with the high hulls but that also helps with one of the banes of Cats: waves banging on the center cockpit. I’ve guessed wrong so much I’m gonna just read and stop speculating!

    Hopefully the other owners are there to help defray the thousands required for ongoing renovations, repairs, and new electronics and mechanics? It seems clear these “Partners” intend for the ship to go to our unhappy teen.

    I would suggest that a small laird in the Scottish Lowlands Would be a very low representative of that Empire. In most any small town almost any where in the world the landed or monied had that power in those days and still do more than is right. Damn I’ve caught up. Now I have to wait. If this was your first story it sure was a powerful start.

    You have taken us to some dark and tragic places in other stories and I have faith that you will move us and our boy to a good end. Pax.

    Prologue

    Gandalf commented on Georgie DHainaut's story chapter in Prologue

    The barbed hook is in my maw. Ouch!
  11. Gandalf
    Funny I was thinking as I was reading the chapter that this seemed a bit less tethered than your series( I had just powered thru your last Puppy book) and how well you were keeping me hooked while being random in what you revealed. How’s that for a run on sentence. Pax Ste.
  12. Gandalf
    Thanks for this addition to the Puppy kennel. I only just caught these additions and have enjoyed them as I’ve rushed through them. I do hope some day in the future you pick up the older dog on their journey. Thanks again for your work. Pax. Ste

    Chapter 1

    Gandalf commented on Georgie DHainaut's story chapter in Chapter 1

    As others have said this is another very special and fortunate couple that you have given us. I am amazed at how you have created your various locations so well. Your first few stories took place in parts of Vermont that I knew fairly well. Since then you have introduced us to even more new friends in more disparate parts of the world. I thank you for these geographical and cultural insights as well as these struggling and rewarded people. Pax. Ste

    Will truly takes on the best of both Grand and Stef in this episode. I am so enjoying the return of these friends. Thanks Mark for all your work. Pax

    What an amazing fantasy. So tender and sweet. Thanks for yet another fine tale. Pax. Ste

    Back on the reread. Must say that this unusual first chapter makes a bit more sense to my STEM challenged brain! Pax.

    Author’s Note

    Gandalf commented on Altimexis's story chapter in Author’s Note

    I already started rereading it several weeks ago! I was born and adopted in Indianapolis. So your early tales caught me and I’ve been reading you since on several sites. Thank you for all the journeys you have given us and hoping for more. Pax. Ste

    Oh what a chore it has been to bare with you for these chapters. You have dragged us into an interesting culture, unknown to me, forced a look at how it could reclaim itself as many indigenous cultures are doing around the world. Oh and tucked in another of your torturous love stories. Thanks so much for yet another great piece. I have been here at GA for years and have always been pleasantly surprised to find yet another author here that will give me all the pleasure I used to get from the books in my small town library decades ago. Thanks for continuing that tradition.. Pax. Ste

    Support from unexpected sources. Both boys getting it from their families is wonderful. Can’t wait to see where things go from here. Thanks for your work. Ste

    He is a Passamaquody here in Maine. He is now 66. Which makes me a real Geezer. The world situation is certainly warming up. I hope the autocracy in Russia and then maybe here can be tamed. That would go along way. But we will see. I will wait for your next story and hide in reading. Be well. Ste.

    Another powerful/sweet start to your new adventure. My foster son’s record from the 1950’s reads that x has lost his Italian looks and taken on his Native American features and is no longer to be considered for adoption. That was when he was four…. I took him out of an institution 11 years later. I did get to meet some of the elders who had preserved language and traditions to some extent. Now there is much change in the interest and policy of indigenous people here. Pax. Ste

    Wandered in here and have really been hooked so far. Looking forward finding out more about these guys. Thanks. Ste
  24. Gandalf
    Enjoyed the trilogy. This third part was hard at times but your character development pulled it together. Looking forward to more. Pax.
  25. Gandalf
    Your stories are tweaking my life. Very well done although I suspect it would almost never happen that a foster person from NY would be placed in VT. Outside of that I love the adventure and relationships you have created. I took in my first foster person when I was twenty six and he was 15. My second foster son. As an adult helped me sail my small boat across the Atlantic. Somewhere in there I spent my life as a Protective/Child Welfare worker. Thirty years ago I reconnected with my lover from UVM days who still lives in the Kingdom. We have had a long distance relationship since then. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Thanks Ste
