Thank you. A long time ago, I mentioned the final Georgetown book would focus on CJ and Owen. I keep trying to show their relationships grow. Each one has their own strengths and I think they complement each other well.

“What are we listening to?” Tyler Scott ran his eyes and a finger down the wine bottle’s label. “Trader Joe’s Charles Shaw Blend 2017 Pinot Grigio. And why are we drinking Two Buck Chuck?” “Here, Ty.” Owen handed the man a different, nearly empty bottle and a glass. “Don’t you know Chef CJ doesn’t like to be distracted while cooking?” “Asshole!” CJ was happy. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving meant he and Owen had their cousins and their spouses at their apartment. The rest of the fa

Gina will play an important role in future installments. She'll be fine. CJ surrounds himself with confident individuals and she'll be no different. He does have a tendency to throw people off when they first meeting since he seldom brags about his wealth.

@Bft I hope some vets have the type of support I've surrounded Brad with. I doubt there's many if any at all. People like CJ are more common. Problem solvers who rush in to fill the gaps left by others. Heroes Have on a macro scale and his interventions on behalf of Brad on a micro one proves the kid's willing to act to back up his words. Individuals like him should be admired and whenever possible elevated to positions of power in business and government.

@Nahrung Let me know what you think of the call CJ made after you read the next chapter. I know I can't even come close to what goes through the minds of returning veterans who've lived through what I put Brad through. Many crack, and I wish there was something we could do. Those who surmount their challenges should be cherished as much as those who don't.

@davewri Thanks! Obviously, the story's moved along and CJ's now nearing the end of his time at Georgetown. I hope you and other readers come to enjoy the journey as much as I've had
-
Just for that, I'm posting more Brad scenes. Get the tissue box now.

@frosenblum I'm heartbroken. CJ and Owen are in tears. The world's coming to an end. Okay, you can read about Eric first but only every other Friday. @northie Accomplished author? HA! Not based on the comments my editors leave. LOL

CJ's impulsiveness and Owen's thoughtfulness could be an issue but I'm trying to show them complimenting each other. CJ may be the rock star, but Owen's no slouch. As Cesar mentions several times in the series, the two of them together are dangerous. Every time I read any of the early Summer and Autumn chapters, I'm surprised at how childish CJ sounds even when he's mature beyond his years. He's definitely growing up as are the rest of the guys.

@Jaro_423 Hands off DiMarco, he's mine! LOL CJ's politics are a bit different from what most people embrace these days. Instead of being an ideologue, I'm trying to make him into an idealist who doesn't necessarily side with one party or another. Instead, he looks at candidates and issues. It means he regularly pisses off some readers!

You may be caught up but don't run to far. I may have a birthday present for you. I was a genius when I used Minsky early on. LOL Nah, when I introduced him, Mann cautioned me not to turn the story into a fan fic crap. Little did he know Minsky would be a drop in the celebrities bucket I planned on dropping CJ into. And little did I know I would be able to use him again. Always planned on Brad facing some issues but taking his legs didn't come until later.

The initial books had frequent POV shifts. When I decided to limit it to CJ's view, the pillow talks between C & B were a casualty. But CJ and Ozzie are serving a similar purpose. One coming up in the next chapter.
-
LOL Tetrefine told me something similar. He already has his ticket for the Pier Dance. Not sure I want to be one of those old farts dancing shirtless with ripped twenty-somethings!
-
Not only manipulative, his behavior borders on bullying! But as you said, it's all done with good intentions and never in a way to hurt anyone. Let's see what you think of his next moves. He's far from done.

It's a great song. I wanted something quirky and "Santeria" fit the bill.
-
Did you ever imagine Michael and Blaine would resurface when you finished Predator Prey? Thanks for allowing me to use them, Parker. Anyone who hasn't read that particular story by Mr. Owens should do so!
-
Thank you!
-
I have a feeling CJ's not going to stop here. He won't be happy until he's certain Brad will pull through.
-
Easy, Alex was in chapter 10 of Summer. Can't say I planned this appearance way back then, but I thought it fit. CJ does keep in touch with people and he's relentless when on a mission. Brad doesn't stand a chance with our boy around.
-
Thanks, bud

Nah... No drama, just good times. One thing, Chris. Alex Minsky's a Marine but Brad isn't. A Ranger is a member of the Army. Can't mix up the services.

On the last Monday in August, Owen began working full-time at the Nature Conservancy headquarters in Rosslyn, Virginia. Two days later, CJ started his senior year at Georgetown University. On Friday of that same week, the two of them, César, Brett, Ritchie, and Rod flew to Orlando. It was a men’s weekend. “Dude, it’s been like a year.” CJ’s embrace overflowed with warmth when he greeted Michael. He, his boyfriend Blaine, and Chipper had ridden up from Miami and met the group from Washingto

@Jaro_423 The problem with all my tidbits is people have come to expect them to develop into something, when they don't it can be disappointing. But trust me, there's a lot of thought going into them. The thing about the cookies is a riff on a comment Hilary Clinton made when her husband ran for president. Barbara Bush bragged about her cookies and Clinton said something about not having time for the kitchen. Can't recall the exact comments but you get the idea.

As with good wines, the trick with my chapters is to go slow and enjoy each sip. LOL Of course, repeated tastings work well too.

I haven't had a dog since I had to put my last one to sleep. I've spent the last 10 years frequently traveling on my motorcycle and didn't think it fair to leave a pooch behind at a boarding place or with strangers. I miss the companionship.
