    No Russians and no Mexican socialites in the next chapter, but everyone introduced in this one will play a part in the story. With over 400 named characters in the series, I tried to limit the number of new ones, but based on what beta readers have said, a couple of them are good enough to stick around in the future. I do recycle some of the previous one. Even a certain redhead makes an appearance! I'm talking about Brad!

    It's good to be back Jose. After almost two years of posting spinoffs and spinins, CJ and Ozzie will be in the forefront for a long while. They also star in the story that will follow this one. By the way, are you anywhere near Barcelona?

    You have no idea how good it is to see you here. You're sorely missed, Def. Should I text you whenever a new chapter posts? Next one's tomorrow.

    You're welcome. Chapter 1 will go live tomorrow and I may post another one on Saturday. What the hell, I'm feeling reckless. That opening line was designed to capture readers' attention. Plus, it's so CJ I couldn't resist. He may be a big-shot visa clerk now, but he's still rude, crude, and socially reckless.

    Yep... LOL I'm scared of responding because you came close to describing some of what will happen. I haven't been to Mexico City in decades, but I remember walking around the Zona Rosa marveling at the broken-glass topped high walls surrounding most homes. The fear and potential dangers were in the back of my mind when I decided to have them move into a high-rise with a doorman. A little more about their new crib in the next chapter.

    Good to be back, Kris. I had planned to start posting on 01/01/22, but I couldn't wait any longer. I needed my fix of reader comments!
  8. Carlos Hazday
    Thanks, bud. Come back tomorrow for another chapter.
  9. Carlos Hazday
    You're welcome! It's good to be back. Although most of the action takes place in Mexico, the entire family will make appearances.

    If nothing else, the Russian gave me the chance to have CJ blame his compatriots for he-who-shall-be-despised winning the 2016 election. You have no idea how happy I am to be back. Even though I'm already working on the next installment,yesterday I mentioned to someone I was having difficulty writing because I was nervous about CDMX posting and hoping for a good reaction. So far, so good. You're right. If he tries to mess with CJ, he'll realize he may have bitten more than he can chew. Great to have you back! EDIT Oops, forgot about the party. I wanted a way to open with an outrageous CJ comment and a chance to introduce the new characters who would populate the story. You've now met most of them.

    Thank you, my friend. You know I like to vary what happens in each installment and decided now that CJ's not a kid he could handle a little grown up intrigue. Yevgeny could become a thorn on his side, let's hope nothing bad happens.
  12. Carlos Hazday
    I know, right? Funny thing's I keep trying to turn Owen into more than arm candy. The First Dude may surprise a few readers in this novel.
  13. Carlos Hazday
    Just wait until the chapter where CJ rides his Harley around the Tidal Basin and the Jefferson Memorial while aiming Lola at the pursuing cars. Oh, wait, that scene's not in the book. But I'll lobby to include it in the movie version. Glad you enjoyed it, Parker.
  14. Carlos Hazday
    Good to have you back, Chris! About Yevgeny, he may make a couple more appearances in upcoming chapters.
  15. Carlos Hazday
    Yes, yes you will. It's taken me a couple of years to get here, but we will get answers before the novel is over.
  16. Carlos Hazday
    Then get ready, Terry. Next installment tomorrow. Same CJ time, same CJ channel.
  17. Carlos Hazday
    Hanging in there trying to ignore the aches and pains. Sorry to hear about your pooch, it reminded me of having to put Samson down years ago. As for Ozzie and his husband, I hope you like what's coming.
  18. Carlos Hazday
    LMAO CJ and Owen do look good in tuxedos and they do drink martinis. Even if they prefer gin over vodka. I should have had him introduce himself to someone as "Abello. CJ Abello."

    CDMX • Prologue

    Carlos Hazday posted new chapter in CDMX

    “How the fuck do those tits not fall out of that dress?” Their hostess’ outfit revealed enough cleavage even a gay man would notice. CJ certainly had. He smiled at the bartender, accepted the cocktail, and slipped him a five-dollar tip. “Gracias, Elpidio.” He and Owen carried American currency around for situations like this one. The fiver made the bartender grin and thank them profusely. He surreptitiously stashed the folded bill into his vest’s pocket. Gratuities may or may not have been prope

    Carlos Hazday posted a story in Fiction

    A little over a year after graduating from Georgetown University’s Walsh School of Foreign Service, the State department posts CJ Abelló to the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City. CJ, his husband Owen Liston, and their daughter, Elizabeth Liston Abelló, immediately make themselves at home south of the Rio Grande. Until disaster strikes and their lives are forever altered.

    Bosque de Chapultepec in Mexico City is considered the best urban park in the world by some...
