    Idee Fixe

    Finally got to read this chapter and I'm glad I was late. Readers' comments were as enjoyable as the story. SPOILER I kept wanting Rita to go away but no matter how much I bitched, Parker wouldn't listen. We're stuck with her for a bit longer.
  2. We know he fooled around with Colt when he was a teen, but I'm not sure if he's still interested in men. This was all about Colt.
  3. So sue me, I like chapter titles full of innuendos. LOL
  4. thanks, Tor.
  5. I'm not one to write very long stories. My approach is to find natural breaks on which to separate the story. With the CJ series it was his first year in DC, high school, and college. And even within those segments, I broke it down further. Here, the stories are a little less involved since I'm trying to portray one specific event.
  6. Thanks, bud. Sean will show up again in the third installment of the series.
  7. Sean was in part inspired by Shirley MacLaine in Irma La Douce. I'm pretty sure yo know what I'm talking about since we're close in age.
  8. @frosenblum GA readers seem to be biased against short stories. Even when I issue warnings, people complain stories are too short. I guess I can take it as a compliment. However, some stories are meant to be short. Since WOOF was meant to describe a new start for Colt, personal and professional, making it longer would be padding once both goals were achieved. And I hate padding to make stories longer. @Mann Ramblings always stresses simplify. Why use 10 words when you can say the same thing in 5? I barely wrote this week so I better get back to a certain cadet. Once the current chapter's done, I'll shift over to the dolphins.
  9. I originally meant mass but I sort of liked max when I figured out a typo had escaped. Sean's quite popular around here. Surprising since he's not my only ginger.!
  10. Do you also want reduced-cost training sessions with Sean?
  11. Thanks, ALex. Good to have you on board and glad you enjoyed it!
  12. Thank you! Definitely a few more of these, but longer, in the pipeline!
  13. Isn't NETFLIX coming out with a show about you and Sean? I'm happy with how this one turned out. Far from perfect, it still accomplished my goal of establishing where Colt came from and where he's headed. Let's see if he gets there safely.
  14. Thanks, Tony. Next is an entry for the fall anthology, sbout a quarter of it already written, featuring the dolphin shifters introduced in the last antho. After that, I'm working on a novel giving us a glimpse into another CJ-verse supporting character's life. CJ's brother's four years at the Air Force Academy.
  15. A short meant to give the MC a little air time before I tackle further adventures/events. I'll revisit the premise. Thanks for reading, Doc!
  16. You're welcome and thank you! I enjoyed giving Colt the same treatment I did with Tony in PRIME. I became attached to these two when I first created them and I'm glad I was able to revisit their origin.
  17. Sometimes innuendo-laden stories are more fun than those explicit ones. Thanks, Wes!
  18. Thanks, Chris. Now that both PRIME and WOOF are open for business, next story will bring the respective owners together.
  19. The story was meant to introduce Colt and give us a thumbnail sketch of him. The other goal was to open the gym. Hopefully, both goals were accomplished even if it was a short one.
  20. Thanks, Theo. I have 2 stories in the works, and one's a long CJ-universe spinoff. I also have at least a dozen other stories on my list. As long as I can type, I'll keep writing. I like it. LOL
  21. Colt will probably work as many hours as he did with the investment bankers for less money. But he'll be his own boss and that often trumps the hours and income.
  22. Can you believe how long ago I introduced these characters. I'm really enjoying revisiting. Maybe I'll make sure Sean stays single just for you LOL
  23. Old hurts sometimes flare up and our reactions aren't always rational. BTW, Heat's up 2-0 over the Celtics. My boy Edrice has had two outstanding games. That's probably more detail on the NBA playoffs than you needed today. LOL
  24. I remember when Penn State and Miami were both independent and played each other all the time. Colt, I think, wasn't even aware of how much he'd been holding in. Avoidance is a way of dealing with issues that doesn't always work. Even after years of not interacting, a mention from Mrs. Mann, and one glance at his former friend in the diner both made Colt lose it.
