  1. I tried cross stitching a long time ago. A Monopoly board. Never finished it and the fabric had blood stains on it. My reward sometimes is permission to write something not on the schedule. I did it with both New Year's Day and Malibu.
  2. LMAO I may or may not have done something similar a couple of times.
  3. While some of his friends have a plethora of interests, I see Brad trying things and being done with them. I doubt he'll be in the public eye for long. He strikes me as the type to concentrate on a couple of things and ignore the noise surrounding him.
  4. @Goodie I'm glad my little story's caught your attention. If nothing else, it should provide a distraction while we're all sitting around with lots of time on our hands. The banter between the characters is based on how my brothers and our friends interact. Expect lots of cussing. LOL
  5. @Goodie Althoug the story's about CJ, Brett and Cesar will play a prominent role. Hell, I like those two so much, there'll be a story starring them in the future. They're not perfect, though. Expect a few screw ups along the way.
  6. @Goodie Sometimes dark clouds do have silver linings. CJ's abrupt and unexpected change may just light a spark in him, helping him flourish in his new surroundings.
  7. Welcome to the CJ family! It's good to have another Kiwi around. CJ's a scared kid at this point, but you'll see him grow as we follow him. I'm not big on teen angst, so there won't be a lot of it. I think my inexperience as an author fits the early chapters by making my ackward dialogue fit his age. Hope you enjoy the trip(s) coming your way.
  8. LOL Poor Brad and poor Cristina. It took him losing his legs and her divorcing an abusive husband to get where they are. They're in their early 20s, so they have plenty of time to figure out where they're going.
  9. Nope. My stories are romance free zones.
  10. @travlbug Thank you! I always enjoy your comments; whether on my stories on other authors' work. Like most of my work, I draw inspiration from real life. Except for Alaska, Florida has more miles of coastline than any other state. Unlike Alaska's, most of ours is lined with sandy beaches and accesible. The litter problem is huge, and beach cleanups are common. I hope future generations can enjoy the Florida Keys the way I did while growing up. It's up to us to teach the Liebes of the world how to behave.
  11. I think this is the first time anything I've written has been labeled heart wrenching. LOL My goal was to show Brad battling and overcoming challenges. Sheer determination can often help us surmoung difficult times. Thanks you!
  12. Thanks, Jeff! I try to personalize dialogue to each individual. Small nuances aren't always noticeable, but I hope sometimes a word or two will spark recognition of who the speaker is without having to name the character. Glad you enjoy it.
  13. Thanks! I plan to provide updates on Brad and Cristina in future stories. The one I'm currently working on has Chipper in it and we learn a bit more about what he's doing after Singer.
  14. That better be for the stair climbing and not for the flirting.
  15. I write mushy but not sappy.
  16. I saw a couple of those pictures. MY kind of men!
  17. Not so loud! People may start thinking I write romances.
  18. Thanks, Tony. You captured the essence of what I was trying to convey. Brad has support from friends and family, and a rich buddy who can help provide most of what he would need. But it comes down to determination. To seeing himself fail, picking himself up, and trying again. I always marveled when I watched Georgetown student athletes run up and down those damn stairs as part of their training. Couldn't imagine how tough they would bee for someone with artificial legs. Those suckers are steep!
  19. The kid may have a say in it and I think she's in Brad's corner.
  20. Back atcha
  21. His underwear shoot was inspired by Alex Minsky.
  22. I've been laughing all morning at the comments and memes my brothers and sisters-in-law have been sharing in the family chat.. Because there's a slight political tilt to the funnies, I can't share them on GA. But, if you google Clorox Chewables and Lysol Inhalers...
  23. April 2022 Following the Good Morning America appearance, Brad carried his luggage to brunch with Cristina and Carolina. He had requested a train ride home to Washington when the television network flew him to New York, and he hailed a cab to Penn Station after the meal was over. Though Amtrak took a bit longer than flying, comfort and convenience trumped speed. Going through airport security was an ordeal with his prostheses. Replying to emails, texts, and social media posts w
  24. Thanks for reading! Helping the environment doesn't always have to involve massive plans and tons of money. Sometimes, a family cleaning up the beach or park they frequent is just as important. Stay safe, my friend.
  25. And worth every penny? I'll negotiate a fat fee for the artwork.
