    Social Media

    @Will Hawkins Social media is a double edged sword. A white woman, who called 911 and falsely accused a black man of assaulting her, was fired from her job. All because of the man recording their interaction and sharing it online. Obviously, there are countless individuals who've been identified and arrested for their involvement in the coup attempt, all because of social media posts they or others made. While working on Cadet, I tried to follow a bunch of Air Force Academy ones, to gain a better understanding of what their lives are like. The large majority of them were private profiles. That's probably the smart way to go as long as you only accept people you know as followers.
  2. Clever, right? And their last names are Canyon and Arches!
  3. Mr. Trump's been a recurring subject in my stories. I may have picked up a bad habit or two.
  4. Thank you! It was an interesting and educational experiment. One result is I'm more comfortable writing tighter scenes. I think subsequent stories benefited.
  5. “Excuse me, ladies. Are you the group that requested a military escort?” Edrice had approached the three college-aged women, whispering to Ritch to play along. “Cadet Sergeants Edrice King and Richard Peterson reporting for duty.” Ritch was barely able to contain his chuckle. Instead, he straightened his back and squared his shoulders. Ed did say to play along, so he was simply following orders. The smoothness of his new friend’s move impressed Ritch; Cadet Third Class King had game. W

    @BlueWindBoy LMAO Jed Bartlet was in the back of my mind when I started plotting CJ's political involvement. There'll be a bit of that coming pretty soon. Gun ownership will be a recurring plot item. And about me being Tripp? Never thought of it that way, but it has potential. Maybe I should have given him curly dark hair and green eyes.
  7. Do it! The last couple of chapters have been intense!
  8. Simmons was the one who spilled the beans, but he and Will both have big mouths.

    Chapter 36

    Or I can send a bunch of Air Force cadets to bomb the shit out of him and Granger.

    Chapter 36

    No more Netflix for Fergus. He's been watching that show about British royalty, hasn't he? I mean, anyone naming their kids Regis, Royal, Baron, or Duke has some serious issues. Alpha voice or not, the wannabe dictator's nearing the end. Please make his demise as humiliating as possible. You can kill him off after.

    I've never seen the movie. Irma la duce served as inspiration for Sean.
  12. Have you read his stories?
  13. Hey! It's Wyoming. I think it's a requirement for them to support Republicans even if the candidate's a douche bag.
  14. I'm reading a story set in Australia and the slang always makes me smile. The differences in English usage can at times be hilarious.
  15. The USAFA wrestling team: https://goairforcefalcons.com/sports/wrestling/roster/2020-21
  16. I love how my readers are so selfless. LOL
  17. Did I already mention this was partially inspired by a good high school friend. He was Danny while we were growing up. As soon as he became and orthopedic surgeon, it was Dr. Dan. It was also a convenient way to show young Mr. Peterson reaching for adulthood.
  18. We don't always see eye-to-eye, but we do get along well. Bits and pieces of their personalities permeate many of my stories.
  19. @Dr. John NYC Thank you. The differences and similarities between Ritch and CJ are inspired by my brothers. The three of us are alike in many ways, but you can tell we're individuals. Some of it most likely influenced by my sexual orientation.
  20. Thank you, Jay. One of the fun parts of writing stories about different supporting cast members is the ability to recycle characters seamlessly. I'll do it a few more times before we're done with Ritch.
  21. It's the job of grandparents to spoil their grandchildren. I'll have CJ and Owen call on you if they need babysitting services for Liebe.
  22. When I told Mann to keep something in mind in case I croaked and he had to finish the series, he warned me he would start killing off characters right away. I'm taking my meds religiously so my heart doesn't give out anytime soon.
  23. Mann has incredible patience in developing evil characters. I don't. Mine are introduced and discarded quickly. Let's see what happens with Donovan.
  24. Each reaction to a chapter as you caught up made me smile. It's extremely satisfying to watch as someone reads the prologue and proceeds to binge on the other chapters. Thank you!

    You have a long way to go, but by the time you're caught up with CJ's world, a stand alone Ritch story will be waiting for you.
