You Can Look, But You Better Not Touch
Carlos Hazday commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in You Can Look, But You Better Not Touch
Brett and Cesar give CJ a lot of leeway, but they'll rein him in when necessary. I wanted to show Cesar being proactive instead of reactive. -
Australia seems to be a magnet for immigrants from the Southern Hemisphere. I know there are a lot of Brazilians and Argentinians living there too.
-
I need to visit this part of California. The lake, the lava tubes, the cliffs...

Since this book has so many new characters, I thought Christmas was the perfect time for a family reunion. Ritch's in Colorado, CJ and Owen in Mexico City, Grandparents in Miami, Brett and Cesar traveling a lot... Let's see what kind of shenanigans I can engineer for the guys.
-
This was the chapter with the James Bond theme playing in the background. Tuxedos, martinis, and a discrete confrontation.
-
I've tried to use varied excuses to describe some of Mexico City, and the dads visit was one of them. During my one visit to Mexico City more years ago than I want to remember, I didn't know you could climb to the top of the monument so I never did. Oh well, I had CJ do it for me instead.
-
@Albert1434 I tried to show Ambassador Cox giving her staff a lot of leeway. She did with CJ when he first made a splash in the news, and with Northman by mostly ignoring his little jabs and petty actions. However, when necessary, she'll step in as she did in this chapter. CJ's a product of his fathers. They've taught him how to treat everyone with respect regardless of their wealth or social status. I think they'd be proud of how their kid has turned out.
-
Why is it readers always want to play matchmaker with my characters? LOL A dinner party's just another venue for CJ to meet new, interesting people who may once day help him reach his goals.
-
Thank you, my friend. Glad you liked the book. CJ's 16 and has a lot of life ahead. I want him to be the type of person who continues to grow throughout his life and who learns from whatever he experiences, good or bad.
-
CJ's actions will earn him supporters and detractors. Some, like Northman, will try to pull him down, but our man has enough allies to help him deal with the jerks.
-
Right now it's a race between the Russian and Northman to see who's disliked the most. LOL
-
I discovered the connection between Bond and the parade while researching. I always try to infuse my stories with local flavor. As for CJ being posted to Cuba, give him time. LOL
-
CJ will trust and respect people until they cross a line. His mother did, and I don't see him forgiving her anytime soon. As for Ritchie, you want more? I'll give you more soon enough. LOL
-
As Owen frequently says, CJ's known for collecting interesting acquaintances.
-
Considering he's trained in a couple of fighting disciplines, I'm sure CJ put a Marine or two on the ground. LOL
-
Writing about CJ and Owen's adventures often leaves me jealous. I've never been in a cenote, and the only Mayan ruins I've visited are in Cozumel.
-
Invictus was a great movie and I'd been waiting a long time to reference it. The poem that inspired the title plays a part in Ritch's spinoff too.
-
Make sure your husband knows CPR if you decide to watch.
-
One of my best meals in Mexico was in Monterey. The area is famous for cabrito and I enjoyed the hell out of it. As for CJ and Owen, we start with two men raised eating different foods who wind up living in an international city. Now that they're back in DC. I'll have them return to favorite spots, try trendy new restaurants, and visit Washington classics.
-
I included a lot of food in this story and in the one set in Spain. You'll get there eventually.
-
Shit happens? Usually with shorter stories. The longer ones readers find sooner or later. Did you see the wedding video? All those hunky men in kilts!
-
CJ will make friends wherever he goes, but he can be pushy at times making some dislike him. Let's hope he winds up with more friends than enemies.
-
LOL And I notice you're enjoying the food I feature.
-
Thanks, Albert.
-
I wanted them to own a professional sports team for a while, and when Major League Rugby came to town, I saw my opportunities. It was a reasonable investment in something they were both familiar with. The game not running a team. LOL
