  1. Ah. One of the few mistakes made by the Goat in this chapter. When our intrepid detectives mention Ares sinking east of Great Isaac light(cay): clearly to be in contested waters mystery spot would be west of Great Isaac, toward the Gulf Stream and Florida. But going into Kolibari bar. Eek. This continues to be one of the most stressful fictional events of my life. Thanks again wherever you are.
  2. Man this is so hard to re read knowing what is coming. But what an amazing story. I sure wish the Goat would re appear and write again. Most of all hope he is ok on some nice island.

    Miscommunications

    So fun to be re reading this adventure. I sailed my much smaller and slower boat this far so I have been amazed at the detailed accuracy of Terciera, Lisbon, and Gibraltar. As well as the sailing knowledge. Just wish the Goat would re appear with a new tale.

    George is such a stand up man. To ensure the crew gets some of its due. Calvert is an interesting twist. You leave so much to be revealed. Hope you are well and know how many of us give thanks for all the work of you and your team. Pax. Steve

    Chapter 19

    So many plates in the air. And now a few more added. Ryan back should be interesting and my guess is that Buzz and son will also be sucked in quickly. I will be interested in hearing more about our new Ensign's(correct rank?) adventures. Oh and the Widow's web. I'd be depressed too. Wish You well. Take care of yourself. Pax. Steve
  6. Thanks for your ongoing work. It is fun following all this adventure happening under the radar.
  7. I agree that this epic rang true as a sailor and in every other way. Wish this attention would bring the Goat back to the herd.
  8. Thanks for the ongoing work. I am enjoying it a bunch.

    Chapter 67

    As always this is a great addition to your adventure. Thanks for your work. Always glad to have more. Pax.
  10. I had not started your story until a couple of days ago. What a great story. I only wish my partner and I had found the mentors that Peter and Tom have. Eventually I found a great gay mentor who was an Anglican Bishop. Pax.

    My Phoenix

    Oh so lucky to have Phoenix to grasp for ever knowing we can not hold it. These poems/essays are all so powerful. Thanks. Pax. Steve
  12. Happy Day and have a great year. Pax.
  13. Thanks for the topic and, like the reviews, it has helped me understand the subject more. Here at GA the interaction between writers and reviewers is more interactive than most sites. I really enjoy that. I have also speculated that this symbiosis may have been a factor in authors becoming so prolific that they overdose and disappear. But it is total speculation. I know I comment more here than other sites because it the feedback. That being said I , too am reading on a tablet or phone now and my reviews have become much more cursory or generic. Sorry but even this much is really hard to get off on this damn device. Pax. Ste

    Chapter 57

    I haven't posted much but wanted to add to kudos to your skill at selling football and also attracting us to your characters. I have been sucked in totally. It adds to my strong desire to visit Australia. Thanks for all your work and looking forward to the leap. Steve
  15. I can't wait for your new chapters to show up so new readers will find you and hopefully enjoy your writing as much as all us who have enjoyed all of your past work and are looking forward to more. Pax

    High Infidelity

    I started this on the other site but have been following it here too. What a powerful, hard, but well written story. Thanks for sharing.

    Chapter 28

    I think I wrote book reports on Hornblower books from fifth-eleventh grade. Having Granger back almost recaptures that feeling. Many new twists to assault us in future follies. Thanks Mark.

    Chapter 66

    Always enjoy visiting with this ever growing family. Thanks for another great chapter.
  19. Yay. So very glad you are well and back.
  20. I am not sure if it is true but it seems that more really good authors leave this site than elsewhere on the net. I wonder how much the dynamic of these boards is a part of that. It has been alluded to by several authors. For example writer starts writing and develops a fan base which encourages them to write more and more until they are burnt or their other life is affected. Dom, vista,C.James,Riley Jericho come to mind. Not sur how real this is or what/if there is a solution but like all I wish Mark well and hope for his return. Well and any of the others mentioned. Best. Steve

    Chapter 14

    Huum the obligatory GA cliffhanger. Hopefully all this brouhaha here will get the next chapters posted soon. I am hoping for I'm not sure what. Thanks and looks like a bunch of us will be waiting. I am glad the drama on GA brought this to my attention. Thanks for all your work.

    Chapter 9

    Yes. Even a vampire ending if necessary but if you are able to find another plausible one that is fine. After all we know the more common endings and some even know of endings that did work back in time. Guess I will stop commenting given this will be deleted shortly. Thanks as always for your work.

    Chapter 2

    Sad that GFD characters are less vilified than in this. Having a grandson on the autism spectrum makes me look at where I fit I that spectrum, or where my daughter fits. Maybe some day we will be able to see where we are in this spectrum. Thanks for bringing your considerable writing skills to this taboo.

    Chapter 65

    So great to have everyone back. It says a lot that like old friends we can pick up where we left off despite some time away. The rings are a great idea. The free radicals comment is disturbing. Pax. Steve
  25. Best thoughts to you on you and yours being well. Take care. Know you have done so much for us and we all wish you the best. Pax. Steve
