    I don't think Ethan could live with Sean and keep him hidden. Neither one is closet material. Both guys are in their mid-twenties, they have lots of time to figure it out.

    Yep, instead of waiting a week for further developments, it would have been a month. This is one of those chapters my editor dislikes: a bunch of different scenes/matters all stuck together. This would have been a great chapter to split into a bunch of shorter ones, but then I would have feared for my life. Not sure what some of you would do if I started posting chapters with less than 1k words each.

    Relax... we've survived a couple of deaths; we'll survive whatever comes next.

    Are you suggesting I'm devious?

    The Elite's shrunk. Chip and Rash left under bad circumstances but it seems Danno's exit will not be that traumatic. And think about it, I now have an excuse for CJ and Owen to visit Hawaii!

    You've known me long enough to realize after a bunch of happy, easy chapters I had to bring in a little drama. Critter's a great nickname! Good idea. Unfortunately, Fabricio gets saddled with a different one. LMAO

    That's the feeling I love to create. When readers anticipate future developments, it means I've done my job. We'll start dealing with all the new story arcs in the next chapter.

    A bubbly aficionado? I knew I wanted to use Dom and went looking for an outstanding vintage. The 2009 has ratings above 95 across the board. Considering they all think of themselves as brothers and knowing CJ's generosity, I figured he and Owen would splurge.

    I suspect Nadine considered terminating the pregnancy but didn't due to her parents. Not sure I could ever entirely put my mother abandoning me behind. I had enough fights with my own mother and she never rejected me like that, But we should give him credit; he's not reacting violently. The fact he recognized he could have a problem is progress. I'll revisit his feelings.

    He'll turn it into a Marijuana bar and Harley will never leave the place!

    Looks like it. The Elite keeps cracking while the Squad gets stronger. We'll see. Thiago doesn't have a good track record with the women he's dated. I'm buying earplugs for Tank!

    Yep... my other reaction was WTF?

    Darn right, I did. But it did not help. I could still hear the pings from readers reacting and commenting. Friday will be here before you know it.

  16. The vibration against his butt made CJ wiggle twice during dinner; he ignored the phone until the meal was over. As the remnants were cleared, he reached for it. “Fuck, fuck, fuck!” “What’s going on?” “It’s Thiago. Nadine’s in the hospital. The baby may be coming earlier than expected.” “Wait, isn’t the kid due in April?” “Yep. Like six weeks away.” CJ tapped away at his phone before sitting again. “Crap. I hope the baby’s okay. Can it even survive being born so soon?”
  17. I shared my list of projects with Mann the other day; he laughed and called it ambitious. Revising Solcar wasn't on it so adding it would most likely push it to the ridiculous point. For the next couple of weeks, the goal is to finish clearing edit notes in the current book. Priority after that is the 3 children's short stories I've outlined. We'll see where I head after those.
  18. It was an ego boost. The similarity to SOLAR clinched it for me.
  19. @Parker Owens - Thank you for the kind, generous comments. This is proof a new writer can benefit from the weekly prompts. It's how Solcar started and I think every chapter followed subsequent prompts. It's amateurish in a lot of areas, but I still like the story. For those of you haven't figured it out, Solcar is my name after a little juggling. @Renee Stevens - I owe you one of these. I finished next month's AAA today and will work on this feature starting next week
  20. Petulant characters have appeared in my work more than once.
  21. I'm more likely to use a word such as nefarious. The no-romance is an ongoing thing. People keep accusing me of being a romantic.
  22. You're new around here, so you wouldn't know this. Ask around. I DO NOT DO ROMANCE! “How come she’s not here? I thought Liz would meet us at the airport.” Ritchie had made it clear he was looking forward to seeing the girl he befriended the previous year and kept in touch with through social media. CJ suspected there was a touch of limerence in his brother and hoped it would not become an issue.
  23. My favorite word used in one of my stories is LIMERENCE. My editor warned me it could piss some readers off because they would have to look it up, but I actually received a couple of compliments on it.
  24. Not SciFi, but I've used petrichor. And vellichor. Different books, same character and series.

    Chapter 5

    Nice gripping chapter leading to the possibility of us finding out what's going on. Not that I'm curious or anything of course. I'll echo Daddy Dave: Good job!
