  1. Considering how long it took for those two to become a couple, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a wedding. Owen Jr.? LMFAO
  2. Glad you enjoyed it, Jeff!
  3. I actually thought that could have been a Brett line Ritch echoed. Ritch and Brett are all about fun and toys. CJ and Cesar are the planners and plotters.
  4. Thanks, bud.
  5. You have no idea how hard I tried to not turn Ritch into a CJ clone. Yes, they'll have similar values because of family ties, but their personalities will not be identical. Ritch wants to fly planes but if he continues to show leadership capabilities, he may end up spending more time behind a desk than in a cockpit. We'll see more of Ritch's values emerge in the next chapter.
  6. My kind of drama, though. None of the silly, angst ridden characters
  7. He needs the grandson for a few days to keep him busy between chapters.
  8. Mesa Verde National Park. Been there, done that. The climb's not as steep as at Echo Point in Katoomba.
  9. My old boss taught me when dealing with an IRS audit for a client, we were to answer questions truthfully but not volunteer information. I very much doubt the Academy is ignorant of underage cadets drinking. Ritch has enough sense never to do it in public, like at a party, where a picture of him doing so would provide evidence.
  10. Very good observation. Brad's visit to the Academy was mentioned in Ranger. I think it was less than a full sentence. Since I'm writing overlapping stories, I end up mentioning something in one and developing the idea in another one. It'll happen with a few events in Cadet. Not sure he has to report Donovan drinking, but if asked about it he must tell the truth. I have a feeling the Academy will find out about the arrest without Ritch turning into a rat.
  11. You want drama? Just wait a bit and I'll show you drama.
  12. LOL At least you're not complaining about short chapters.
  13. I love the speculation! May have to start writing cliffies on purpose.
  14. Cliffhanger? Where? Ritch has enough to worry about the last thing he needs is a classmate's arrest. Unfortunately, it looks as if he'll have to deal with it.
  15. Ritch may be ensconced at the Academy, but life for everyone else moves on. Remember he's the youngest Squad member by a few years.
  16. Let's wait and see what happens next with Donovan. I'm kinda curious myself.
  17. Well, technically they didn't give him alcohol. I think most kids Ritch's age will drink no matter how stupid related laws may be. Legislating morality will use lead to law breaking. Prohibition's a prime example.
  18. Thanks, bud. The shell surrounding Ritch has been cracked and he's slowly but surely finding his place in the world.
  19. I've tried to contain chapters to one event or two, this one was meant to cover summer break and classes, but I couldn't fit it all in within a reasonable word count. Ended up splitting it when it was borderline too long.
  20. “Thank you, Peterson. It’s beautiful.” Cadet First Class Nicole Baxter—the Olympic caliber swimmer who harangued Ritch about his attire on I-Day—hugged him. “I’m glad you like it. I… I…” Ritch did not stutter often, but around the statuesque woman, he frequently found himself tongue-tied. “Not sure if you remember, but you made a big impression on I-Day. And since then, you’ve always encouraged me whenever we’ve ended up working together.” Baxter laughed and placed a hand on Ritch’s sh

    Intermezzo

    Good chapter and great reader comments. Speculation's always fun to read. I'll just say don't trust a smiling man who had lunch with the woman chasing you.

    Chapter 35

    Can't wait to read Fergus' reaction. Bad move on his part no matter what his intentions were when he sent over his betas. And maybe, if they can figure out a way for Jada and Sawyer not to be rabids forever, Jimmy's found his pack. Although they should move somewhere warm. Like Arizona, now that it's a blue state.

    I think by the time that happens it'll be King Charles and CJ will call him Charlie or Chuck.
  24. Let the guessing begin. Five more days until the reveal.
  25. Chipper's story ended in December 2020, Brad's in June 2022. As soon as I can find the proper spot, I'll provide updates on their lives.
