    I thought after the last two chapters and the emotions involved, we needed a rest and a chance to advance the story in a more relaxed manner. I better get an invitation what with all that Liston wine flowing. Let's keep the wine list and open bar quiet, if @Defiance19finds out we're in trouble.

    Thanks, Chris! I try not to do info dumps and I'm following that approach with the wedding. Details will be revealed over subsequent chapters. One correction: The events in this chapter took place in 2017 so the wedding being a year later means June 2018. Invitations should be going out later this month so keep an eye on your mailbox.

    Although the flight from Washington’s National to Boston’s Logan took less than ninety minutes, the actual door-to-door travel took over twice as long. Thankfully, the ride from the airport to the hotel was only fifteen minutes; they were ready to enjoy their weekend. The Ritz-Carlton accommodated an early registration and after dropping off their luggage, they headed out in search of food. “I can’t believe you want to go to a tourist trap for your birthday lunch.” A doubtful expression

    @danield Limerence seems to be popular. I read it in an article, liked it and decided I wanted to use it. Ritchie's feelings for Liz fit well. While it may seem I'm rushing things along, I guarantee there will be plenty of extremely detailed chapters in the future. Like this one dealing with the trip to Australia, there will be some focusing on other travels or events. As for lines between scenes, if you look at this chapter there are three dots serving that purpose. However, I understand current standards (read publishing companies) discourage the use of such dividers. I'm trying that approach in the next book and we'll see how it works. Instead of a line or dots there will be an extra space to signal a shift.

    A heartbreaking story about the condition many women face due to social traditions in many parts of the world. Excruciating to read at times, it's told through the eyes of a mother looking to improve the lives of her two daughters. It is a well written social commentary which will leave you with a ray of hope for oppressed people everywhere.

    Snippets of news reports and journal entries take us through the anxiety of hiding from law enforcement and a crime family. Although the concept is fascinating and well thought out, there times I had to scratch my head trying to figure out what was happening. I wish the author had expanded some sections. All in all a solid little short story.

    A Proper Push is one of those unassuming stories that grab you and deliver a solid punch. No over-the-top situations or reactions but an in-depth analysis of what the two main characters face. Although their challenges are entirely different, both characters give each other a push to deal with what has been troubling them. A great little read I'm certain you will enjoy.

    LOL, we ran out of tissues with this chapter. So you think my kid did it right? I was trying to not be cold but not be too sweet. I think it fit his personality.

    @danield Thanks, Daniel! I'm guessing you've been reading on CRVBoy. GA's my main site so books get posted here first. I look forward to hearing what you think of this one. It's much easier to comment here after each chapter and I reply to all comments so you'll always get a response.

    Excellent! I look forward to seeing this one develop. Haven't enjoyed my first exposure to someone I've not read before this much in a long time.

    I'll repeat what I just said to @mollyhousemouse Groan!

    TImely! I had a reader send me an e-mail this weekend claiming I was forcing him to keep his dictionary handy while he read my stuff. All because I used limerence. @MichaelS36 I'll see your petrichor and raise you a vellichor. (I'll show you mine if you show me yours LOL) And I'll match moist with aquiver. Other favorites: Effervescence Nefarious Ineffable Magnanimous

    The segment between the Suez canal and Australia kept me up all night. I know I skipped parts to read ahead because the tension was too much. I swore I'd go back and read those chapters again at a slower pace but I've never had the guts.

    I think it took me a week to binge read that sucker! I don't recall much from that time period in my life...

    @Defiance19 I think you're lumping me in with those bloody authors who write cliffhangers and stuff. I'm innocent!
  16. Carlos Hazday
    Set up? Are you implying I'm devious? That this is the calm before the storm? That's it, next chapter it's sex, drugs, and EDM! Did you enjoy your getaway?

    Jake's a well written monologue from a conflicted young man. A rollercoaster of emotions that will make you smile, give you hope, and more. A great read.

    Tough Love

    Carlos Hazday commented on northie's story chapter in Tough Love

    Tough love combined with advice and encouragement are a powerful combination. You've created a good character in Adam.

    Expectations

    Carlos Hazday commented on northie's story chapter in Expectations

    The sadness is overwhelming. This is the type of story I'd normally stop reading but your writing kept me going. It's magnificent!
  21. Carlos Hazday
    Not much I enjoyed in this one although a certain segment of readers will. Overly melodramatic for my taste which combined with mediocre technical writing,makes it not something I'll ever read again.
  22. Carlos Hazday
    Cute short story with a great twist at the end. The old saying about being careful of what we ask for or wish definitely applies. A quick read that will make you smile.

    @BlindAmbition What? It's only like 250 named characters in the series! Most there's no need to remember but Kim's might be worth making note of. She'll show up again sometime soon.
  24. Carlos Hazday
    @BlindAmbition LMAO Harley's sex life seems to generate a lot of interest! Sorry but Kim Huang is a female. She was introduced in Walls as a younger student who served with CJ as co=chair of the school's GSA.

    @pvtguy Thanks, Tony. I try and the support team keeps me honest so a lot of the credit goes to them.
