Peter's carer nature has been explored a lot in the later books, I like that I have a chance to go back and show where it came from. Peter's the protector of the family, the one who puts people back together. I love him for it, hands down one of my favorite characters to write.

I Think Tarquin is somewhere around six years old... And yes Alistair Merrick is in the book.

Uncle Walter's a good egg.

He's one of the older generation of Northern Cross, who was with Denton when things happened in the late 70's early 80's. We will get into that in a chapter or two when Walter explains the history of the Cross and Thomas Highmore. Hate distilled by years, fear, and a loathing. It's easy to see this kind of hate as an American problem, but it's everywhere, and it's been lying dormant, quiet, but not fully defeated. We're seeing it with Tommy Robinson's lot in the UK, across Europe it's raising it's dark head. The old teaching the young. Brick will get his. Walter will want a word with his old classmate eventually.

I wrote a bit about this in Carter's Run, when Peter was looking after Ned. Aside from Andrew, Peter was the one who knew how to handle Will's breakdowns. Five years of life with Will taught Peter a lot, it's part of what makes him so effective with the Sprogs, he's been a carer most of his life. First Will, then Jason, on to Jacob then Ned. His superpower, making nightmares stop.

Act IV: The Hour of the Wolf The silence of Brody’s house at 3:00 AM was different from the silence of the day. During the day, it was a heavy, watchful thing, but at night, it became a vacuum. It was the Hour of the Wolf—that thin, desperate stretch of time where the ghosts of the past did their most efficient work, where memories ceased to be pictures and became sensations: the smell of cheap beer and copper, the sound of a belt being unbuckled, the taste of blood from a bitten tongue.

I'm 48 in about two weeks, so no plans to yet.

The key is this is now the second time he has ordered the death of Andrew Carter, illegally. He is not the president, he has not authority to sanction this... and even if he were the President, this is still highly illegal. Using loyal American soldiers to do it, it could be classed as a war crime, if they shoot Peter or Ned, they are definitely over that line. It's a massive overreach, and wholly illegal for all involved.

I will cover this, but they do not know, they were a sabotage team prepping for a potential invasion for the past year that has been co-opted into this. I wanted to write them as good soldiers being twisted to purpose by bad actors. This mission raises all kinds of red flags, killing civilians, assaulting a Commonwealth Protectorate of the British... it's an act of war. Disastrous for them.

Boy oh boy Boo-Boo d'you think the Rangers brought Pic-a-nic baskets?

I am contemplating writing another... after the third, but with different characters. I am contemplating a Bobby Grady/Timmy McCormick tale, sort of set their own story, but as yet undecided. Might go in a whole different angle, gives me a chance to play with some new concepts.

Morning. Well Will sets the terms. Will Biden go for it? As always: Why is this so true of my sports experience?

I always thought they had him tied to a typewriter, night of the living dead style... And Western's were such a big part of my life when I was young . I have a second one that will go out after Campaign is done.

CHAPTER THIRTY: THE UNEASY ALLIANCE Location: Suite 404, The Charleston Place Hotel, Charleston, South Carolina. Time: August 2, 2024. 09:00 EDT. Status: The Backroom Deal. The suite smelled of old money, lemon polish, and the specific, high-octane anxiety of political operatives who knew they were losing. Will Carter stood by the window, looking out at King Street. The morning sun was already baking the pavement, but inside, the air was cool and still. He wore a cri

It is summer time, Andrew is attending classes, but it nearing the end of Law School, he is preparing for his Articleing. It is also summer time, and as such he has a lighter course load while the secures his placement at a law firm.

I do enjoy that He and Yani both took the same self defense course.

he's a yellow belt, and knows the Tiger Claw, he's dangerous dangit!

Andrew was too overconfident in Will/Andrew to see the cliff edge he was driving over. The four years he spends separated from Will help to define him, and when he does come back he's a much stronger character/person. Peter and West had no real choice in their separation, West needed to go and serve, and Peter needed to grow up. Both benefit from this time apart. Even if they both suffer from it. Jason and Blake, well, we know it takes them the longest to find their way back to each other. Jason's got a hard difficult journey ahead of him, but he is a much better father for it in the end. His relationship with Peter is as good for his growth as it is for Peter's.

I mean, Edmund always screamed it on the page to me. And Tumnus and his tea parties...

I LOVE this car, so much fun to think about and write about. And with the rollcage and other tricks, it's a tough beastie

Denton Jensen is a particular kind of evil. That old kind that slithers out of the cracks.

Fun with engines.
