    Epilogue

    Pern's a favorite and I truly enjoyed @Mawgrim's take on them.

    Act II

    My first tattoo was a dolphin just below the waist, since then, I've had a couple more inked on my right arm. I've had a character swim with them in the Red Sea, and a pod chase a sailboat on the Med.

    Act I

    I've tackled the project twice, and both times I was disappointed with the results. I think it was because I rushed. Maybe the third time's the charm. I do have at least 4 other stories in mind. Maybe during my next CJ break. Thanks for reading and the interest, Johnny.

    You're younger; your memory's better.
  5. Aside from magnetic characters and magnificent action, one thread runs through all of the author's stories: self-knowledge. The main characters, whether they realize it or not, are on a journey of discovery and acceptance. By getting to know themselves better, Ethan, Chris, Brandon, Trevor, and others, experience moments of lucidity when it comes to who they really are. Higher Education gives us action, wonderful locations, and a man who at last realizes there's more to the world than vanilla; little banana ice cream can be just as tasty.

    Chapter 21

    It was so hard to keep my mouth shut about Shannanon during the San Diego scenes. A summer of experimentation and revelation has helped Trevor mature qnd maybe become pi kier with who he hangs with. The growth will serve him well in the future. I'd love to read a one-chapter short story reuniting the gang. Maybe a Christmas story (hint) Great job my friend.

    Brock

    Not quite a spoiler since his coming in second was mentioned/alluded to in the Mexico book. BTW, if you've not read it, give Baked Beans a look. I stole the character from Jack Scribe's short story.

    Eddie

    How did you like me making Eddie a walking stereotype? LOL A few readers have a soft spot for Brett.

    Yves

    Glad you liked it. Purple Flame Winery and it's people will be featured again in other stories.

    Greg

    When I introduced Nalbo in Singer, he was disliked. Now he's despised. LOL

    You read about CJ confronting the museum guy in CDMX, but this was his initial appearance. @WolfM and I came up with Ethan as the name for our characters independently. Hell, I can't remember if I'd met Wolf when I created him. Considering I have over 500 named characters in the series, and very few are repeated, the chances of my character and somebody else's having the same name will keep increasing.
  12. I loved writing a story with Brett and Cesar as the MCs. I think you'll like this one.

    Local Hero

    Although I'm certain CJ-like individuals exist, they're probably rare. Counting our CURRENT blessings, at least we don't execute people in the US for their beliefs or lack of. There's some truth to religion being the opium of the masses.
  14. You'll be happy to know Ritch gets his own book. Cadet tracks his 4 years at college.

    Rocky Ground

    Two steps forward, one step back. I have faith the pendulum will swing again. Although hatred will always exist, I suspect the 2028 election cycle won't be as horrid as this one.

    The Return

    Thanks, Albert.
  17. Brad's hanging in there. As soon as CJ's story catches up chronologically, we'll get even more details on him.
  18. I've dated a few military men in my life and the experience colors my writing. Like CJ, I never served, but I'm thankful to those who have.

    Sightseeing

    The Hotel Nacional's still around; I didn't use it on purpose, wanting the flexibility of describing a hotel not as well known. The casino was renowned and supposedly run by the Mafia. When were you there?
  20. Every now and then a line can evoke so much with only a few words.
  21. Harley's an uncomplicated, fun man. Give him a motorcycle or a joint and he's happy. He's been a favorite for a while and I can't wait to write him again. How about an overnight trip to West Virginia to see fall colors? CJ, Owen, and Harley on motorcycles, while someone drives the chase vehicle with Liebe as a passenger. (Yea, I've been doing a lot of plotting lately. )

    Farewell

    I started outlining the Tokyo week yesterday (I looked at flights from DC to Tokyo, then Tokyo to LA. I think I'll have the guys spend a couple of nights in Malibu on their return. There may be a little incident in Japan, but once again CJ will make contacts that will help him in the future.

    Farewell

    Does Atlantis offer lycan cruises? Parties, sex, and intrigue aboard the ship and beautiful stops to explore. No kilts but plenty of banana slings.

    Farewell

    Thanks, Jeff. I'd love to visit Cuba myself. My family left when I was 7 and my only times in Havana were when I was months old, and then for a couple of days before we flew out. Some of the ambiance I based on experiences in Puerto Rico. Much the same colonial architecture, ocean breezes, blue waters, and emphasis on agriculture.
  25. Glad you enjoyed it, Albert.
