    Chapter 13

    I has always bothered me that the assault scene in Carter's Shadow had Jason Jensen there, it NEVER felt right to me. And having an explanation as to HOW Andrew was able to find West seemed to fit. It always seemed so... accidental... what reason would Coach have to be down by the shop classes like that... how was he able to get there so fast. It needed explanation and since I was writing about Jason anyway... it all came together and made sense. West alone in court didn't seem enough, having Jason testify would ensure that those responsible would be punished. It just... worked. I hope Jensen's redemption arc feels more rounded now, earned. From Closeted Jerk in Shadow through to tragic hero.

    Did you do your homework?
  3. Thirteen The back office of Madam Chao’s Nail Emporium was a strange, temporary sanctuary. The lights were dimmer here, the air smelling strongly of clean towels and the sweet, lingering perfume of acetone. Sally Jensen sat on a small stool, her feet now dry, the trauma of the last hour slowly sinking in. Jenny-Lynn Hickey had established herself as the fierce gatekeeper, having helped herself to two mugs of tea from the break station, acting like the undisputed queen over this temporary, c

    I'd rather he remain un-shot and out of Gitmo.

    Heck no, onto the next book! I have a story to tell. The Order are still standing, and have won a great victory by the end of Carter's Order. Let's see how they do with Carter's Run. Andrew's unshackled in this one, and he's got them squarely in his sights.

    Chapter 11

    So today is going to be filled with revisions, plot hole tightening, and fun. Carter's Order is finished, but Father and his minions are still very much in play. When i started this I never anticipated how crucial Three little boys were going to be to the plot. It's funny the way a book unfolds, you start out with an idea but the end result seldom looks anything like that idea by the time you are done with it.

    Well is about to play political chess with a man who tore up the rule book.
  9. WORLD END: T-minus 169days, 15 hours, and 24 minutes. Washington D.C. United States of America The air in the Canadian Embassy conference room was thick with stale coffee and frayed tempers. Outside, Washington D.C. simmered in the late September humidity, but inside, the atmosphere was glacial. Will Carter, Minister of Foreign Affairs, straightened the cuffs of his suit jacket, the movement precise despite the ache in his shoulder. He felt the phantom pain from where he had been shot

    My son groaned at me over Pokemon recently, I still have no idea what type does what... he's over thirty and still rolls his eyes at me when I have a senior moment.

    They don't I believe. Though the question of Jason's sexuality in the Chruch's eyes is up for debate. As my old Ethics Professor used to say : There are truths, TRUTH, and THE Truth. Finding truth in that is for you to decide

    I wanted to write the Pastor who is what I believe Pastor's/reverends should be. How they should act, with the weight of their life lessons measuring scripture, and compassion and love guiding them. The world would be a better place were this the example set.

    Well that one went out early, sorry @drpaladin (I am running on no sleep and hit the wrong button again.) On a lighter note. Go Jason.
  22. The fluorescent lights of the Independent Grocers were harsh and unrelenting, casting a cold, sterile glow that made the Saturday morning shoppers look pale. The air, a mundane blend of fresh bread and floor wax, was brutally contrasted by the icy humidity of the dairy aisle, the coldest, quietest corner of the store. Blake, a figure of frantic, soaking energy, moved through the aisles like a storm front. His chest was heaving from the run, the spill of cold coffee still dampening his shir

    I live down the road from Jaguar near Coventry. There's an F-type parked at one of the neighbours... nice car... really nice. The people around here have far too much money... I prefer the Aston that's usually parked across the street from it. But I think giving Andrew an Aston or a Jag might be sacrilege... he's a Mustang man.
