    Chapter 1

    Cole Matthews commented on Valkyrie's story chapter in Chapter 1

    Great job! There is something many people forget when forging relationships and thats a shared set of values. Peter and Elliott just didnt agree on what mattered to them. This story is a great way of portraying that. Awesome story Valkyrie! Thanks for sharing it.

    The Bachelor Farmer Sven Tollefson stood by the rail fence looking at his dying corn. He wiped the sweat from his brow with a blue handkerchief and felt despair well up in him. All over Cottonwood County, thousands of farmers were seeing the same thing. Crops dying from a heat wave coupled with a severe drought. The corn leaves were still green but hanging wilted from stems that were almost gray. It wouldn’t take much longer before most of the field was dead. “Damn!” he exclaimed to no on

    Sven Tollefson has never married. In fact, he's never had a relationship of any type. During the drought of 1888, he was worried about his hay and corn crops. Without enough to feed his milking cows, they'd never get through the harsh Minnesota winter. He hires a young local man to help him with this new idea called 'silage. This is their story.

    Chapter 17

    Cole Matthews commented on Sasha Distan's story chapter in Chapter 17

    Serious tension and a feeling of the apprehension over the test. The Big Test is a rite of passage and stark raging fear. You also didn't forget the freshness of the new moment of love. You've captured the sense of that. These guys are hopeful but take it seriously I applaud your treatment of it Sasha. Thank you for your hard work on it.

    Very interesting interview. I enjoy your work Graeme. I've struggled with the mystery genre in my own writing though I'm trying a hint of one in a story I'm writing now. We'll see. Weighing out the clues is hard. It's certainly fun to read when done well! Thanks Cia. Nice job!

    I love this story. Graeme juggles the characters in a way that reveals facets to their individual personalities while the reader tries to figure out who "Ken" is. Each chapter begins with the growing fear and pain of the closeted player. This creates a palpable tension as details become clearer and more acute. Its a great and thrilling ride. Don't miss it!

    Chapter 3

    Cole Matthews commented on Sasha Distan's story chapter in Chapter 3

    Such a lovely story with a really interesting premise. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for telling Dame and Dallas' tale!

    Well Graeme. I hope youre happy. Youve got me sucked into another mystery and i couldnt be happier! What a great legend and characters. Im rooting for vince and matt. But then im a farmboy so im biased. Thanks Graeme!

    Thanks Nostic! I appreciate the review.

    Thank you for your story. That is a subplot in this story. While alcohol isn't the bane of all, for some it can become deadly. I do think both Craig and Graham were scared to pieces by the whole thing. Teens don't consider their actions in that context nor what dangers alcohol can have. I'm so sorry to hear about your sister. It sounds like she did try to teach your son to treat it with respect. Thank you Dughlas for your comments and review. I've tried to portray the subject as honestly and respectfully as I could. I can see I've managed to do so from your remarks. That makes me happy.

    It's not that teens don't get what they should or shouldn't do, it seems they are compelled to push the envelope. At least that's what I've seen. Thanks so much Stephen. I'm glad you like it.

    I'm so glad to hear that Suvitar. I'm trying to capture the most important moments in Button's life, the events that change him. Hopefully the other people also come through in the telling. Thanks! I'm happy it's working.
  14. Cole Matthews
    He does! I told him the title of the prompt and he giggled. He's so cute! Thanks LBO!
  15. Cole Matthews
    Thanks Bob! Isn't that the truth! Button is becoming his own person and that's hard on everyone.
  16. Cole Matthews
    I'm so glad you're enjoying it! I'm really striving to make it as realistic as I can. That's high praise. Thanks Quiet!
  17. Cole Matthews
    Thanks Rebel! Teenage defiance and a college party are too important to skip, especially given the dynamic with Button and Kevin and Button and his dads. Sweet Sixteen is a party and I try to add a bit of mystery and surprise! I try to be as literal as Button. Love to hear from you Rebel!

    Fifteen to Life

    Cole Matthews posted new chapter in Button

    Fifteen to Life “So, do I get to go to college parties when I’m fifteen too?” Sarah asked slyly from behind her spoonful of cereal. “Of course not. Don’t be silly. That’s way too young for a college party,” Graham said taking another sip of coffee and turning the page on the newspaper. “Shut up Sarah,” Button whispered. “Why does Button get to go then?” she asked sweetly. “Stop calling me that name,” Button warned her. Having two hormonal teenagers in the house was driving Graham bat

    See I got you giggling too! Look out for the tickling though.

    That's what I was going for Rebel. I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for the review.

    Thanks Rebel! I'm glad you enjoyed it. "15 to life" is ready for tomorrow's posting!

    I Giggle When I Hear the Word ‘Underpants’ “Nate, stop acting like such a clown. This isn’t the damned circus,” my mom yelled. “Sorry mom,” I called back. “We were just joking around.” I wasn’t ‘just’ joking around. I was making Duncan giggle and pay attention to me. I don’t know why it felt so good, but it did. His laughter was music to my ears. Whatever my antics, he was in stitches. “Keep it down,” I said. Duncan pretended to zip his lip and throw away the key. Even that little p

    Thanks Sasha! It was fun and I do like my little surprises.

    Thanks Eugene! I'm glad you liked it. I didn't know O. Henry did anything like this. Though I love reading stories about suppressed desires.

    I'm glad you're extending. What charming, real characters whose affection is developing behind the words. I love that. Really great pacing and a well told story. Thanks for sharing.
