  1. I publish chapters around 6 am. You may want to sign into GA overthe weekend in case I decide to post the ending instead of waiting until next month. Oh, and you're repeating yourself. LOL
  2. He's big so he may be able to survive even if he wasn't. Or could he?
  3. Most of the aftermath's details will be revealed in the next chapter. A new character but not the one most readers suspected. I think Domogarov was the leading candidate for a while and Northman was atop the list of suspects.
  4. More like a hundred, but who's counting? LOL
  5. Really? Poetry in the comments? I'm flattered! Nobody's ever written me a poem before. Bring on the pitchforks, the tar, and the feathers... Where did I put that .38 again?
  6. Time to call the morgue and check the hospitals! Thank you, I'm glad my efforts paid off. I think I mentioned Liebe would get kidnapped to Mann even before I wrote her birth. This has been years in the making and the details changed along the way. As nervous as I was about it, the chapter's reception has been everything I hoped for. I'm glad I was able to surprise readers and do so in an enjoyable way. You guys are the best!
  7. I like to live dangerously.... I should have ended the story with this chapter and waited a while to show the aftermath.
  8. LMAO I think I recognize that cliff! One more to go, buddy.
  9. Time for breakfast!
  10. Thank you! I've been nervous about this chapter like I was with the one at the Russian embassy. In both instances I tried a slow burn, getting everything in without rushing to the conclusion. I'm glad the pacing worked. Let me think about when I want to post the Epilogue.
  11. Thank you! The entire story has been posted since February, so all the next chapter needs is someone to hit the publish button.
  12. We'll revisit Ritch's reaction to the news and his trip to see his brother and niece. I don't think he appreciated being kept in the dark.
  13. I'd like everyone to know Jose Antonio was aware Liebe was kidnapped. I screwed up when he beta read a future story and I forgot I referenced this thing. Thanks for keeping quiet, Jose. Northman's head must be ready to explode after CJ told him to fuck off. I kept their interactions free of cursing, which had to be an effort for CJ, so when the explosion came it'd be more shocking. I've been on a character recycling kick lately; we might see or hear from Northman again.
  14. LOL They didn't have a dog in Mexico, so I had to use the kid.
  15. The Mexico incident was mentioned in Hail to the Chief. That was published in June 2019. I tend to use cliffies sparingly, only when they feel right, and this is one of those instances.
  16. Yeah, but plenty of readers thought whatever happened would involve Domogarov or Northman. Elpidio was the first new character I introduced in this story on purpose. Then I kept him in the background and concentrated on the other two idiots. I'm amazed at myself for holding out for 36 chapters before the shit hit the fan. We know he writes a book about their experience; let's hope Hollywood comes calling.
  17. Aren't you impressed I managed to keep the details quiet for a bit? It wasn't easy deflecting when some guesses came close.
  18. This too shall pass, Tony. Keep breathing for a bit longer.
  19. LMFAO For three years you guys have been hounding me about the 'Mexico incident,' claiming it was a cliffhanger. I figured you guys wanted a real cliffie! 🐐
  20. Yeah, but we need consistency. One fix here and there ain't enough.
  21. Thanks for the fix and the lesson... It's time to brush off the cobwebs and offer your services. There's always a lack of editors around here.

    Into the ninth month of CJ’s posting to the American embassy in Mexico City, he and Owen felt comfortable navigating life in their temporary home. Tuesday nights, CJ sparred at the Embassy with marines, Owen practiced on Thursdays and played rugby most Sundays, and Liebe flourished while spending large amounts of time with both her fathers. It was a comfortable routine. They tried to expose their daughter to as much of the city as they could, including visits to historical structures and n
  23. And here I thought the word referred to a room full of Argentinians.
  24. Been there, done that. I've faced a similar issue when ending sentences with an ellipse. A certain author/editor hated them, removed them, and I had to sneak them back in when he wasn't looking...
