    Thank you. I continually try to improve. Storytelling and grammar.

    Farewell

    I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong) the only books of mine without a happy ending have been the first one when I ended in multiple horrid cliffhangers and the one I ended with Owen's sister dying. We agree about a little something positive helping us deal with the day-to-day crap. No idea what's next. I have 3 good outlines and 4 in process. I think I'm going to finish all of them before I write again.

    I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this before. The 9 books covering the summer of 2022 help set the stage for a lot of what happens in the future. Establishing a good relationship with an adversary, while never giving an inch on values or beliefs, is something CJ will have to do repeatedly if he wants to suceed in politics. The fewer bridges we burn, the more roads we have.
  4. Havana The lazy spinning of the ceiling fan barely stirred the air above the bed when CJ peeled himself away from Owen’s back. As usual, he was awake before the sun rose. The light ocean breeze blowing through the open glass doors scarcely moved the gossamer-thin curtains, unlike the previous mornings when a stronger zephyr helped cool the room. It did as little as the whirring blades to dissipate the heat and humidity that promised a scorching day. At some point, they had kicked off t

    I may have a thing for hot Marines. Not sure if or when I'll bring him back since I don't want to overload the story with former Marines and I'm definitely bringing back Austin from CDMX.
  6. I love that place! Always meant to drive/stop by during a motorcycle trip but never got to see it. Talk about American and highway kitsch
  7. You're just jealous because I can drag out a cliffhanger for a couple of years. You'll get there, grasshopper.

    Check that collection, there could be valuable one LOL Nolan Ryan Jockstrap The fireball pitcher had a rather unique item come to auction when his jockstrap hit the market in the mid-1990s. Someone spent $25,000 for the honor of owning a piece that held a man's grundle

    I knew a girl in college who collected soil from each state she visited. Kept each sample in a labeled clear small jar. And the reason I found out was on a trip from DC to Fort Lauderdale for spring break, even though we could have crossed Georgia without stopping, we had to so she could get her souvenir.

    Aren't rules made to be broken?

    Based on what I've read, Cuba has some of the most pristine reefs in the Caribbean. Some of it due to the lack of coastal development and tourism pressure. And that's what I used to get Owen invited to Cuba.

    I haven't thought about bringing him back. However, I do have ideas for bringing back Eli (construction worker/Marine) and Flynn's kids. That the truck driver who hit Adriano's wife at the end of Summer.

    I loved the slower pace in this chapter. And all the innuendo! How many eruptions, Randy? One of the notes I left Wolf was about my bringing home pebbles from Blue Mountains National Park in Australia, and Zion National Park in Utah. I use them as cover in a couple of small houseplants. Randy's already made up his mind...

    I think I've used plethora in a story before. LOL I do refer to my spreadsheets and read old chapters over from time to time, but for some reason, my memory loss doesn't include CJ details. I have more old characters resurfacing in upcoming outlines.

    I never said it would be the trident Banner would carry around. LOL Because so much iconography back in the 16th century was tied to religion, I debated whether a trident would be an appropriate item. Decided to go with it since it could have been crafted for a naval person.

    Me too. I'd love to do the CJ tour.

    I'm curious... What did you have in mind?

    Or, since Jay's upset he won't be invited back to Cuba, Jake could send him to GITMO.
  21. You're not the first reader unhappy with CJ. I think people expected the typical gay story where the MC falls in love right away. You're right, CJ probably saw the whole thing as a summer romance.

    Or I could have him piss off Jake Cruz and he sends the CIA after him. I've decided not to kill him in case I need him in the future.

    I'm glad I can provideentertainment with my stories. I try to make them interesting enough so the educational aspects and my preaching don't take over.

    First, a little sports: Florida Panthers 2, Toronto Maple Leafs 0. I think the trident will become the logo for the Luz de Castilla museum which will display most of what's recovered. Damn, I did include a lot of references to old stuff. As I told a recent binge reader, google Thierry Peppin. He has CJ's tattoo (Thierry was the inspiration) And he does look a little like CJ.

    To be a twenty-something again... I would have needed a long nap after diving.
