Oh for heaven’s sake, Mark. Would it really destroy the rest of this acknowledged powerful story, if you decided to get inside his nasty little brain, and turn him around??

My dear Mark….yet another gripping chapter. I have a comment about JJ, which I’m almost sure will be very unpopular with your readers and perhaps with you. I think it’s about time you allowed JJ to shed his unpopular persona, and let Krise’s great personality rub off on him. you may have allowed JJ to take up figure skating a few years ago which produced a snotty little man…. That’s on you.! I do, however, still love this story.

I have a feeling that I am definitely in the minority with what I have to say. I feel sorry for JJ. I do wish his whole family would try to be nicer to him. Kris, I hope, and believe, will prove to be very good for him.

I have been reading all your stories for many years. I had a two year break when my husband died, and my iPad started acting up., but I started back up with Gay Authors a while ago, and I’ve come to the realization that in all your stories, every now and then, inserted into a random sentence or paragraph, is some rather sage advice that the reader says, “hmm, that sort of applies to me”. At least, that’s what I see. Thanks!

Ah Gary……this is a great story…..as usual from you. Not to worry about the two chapters. Didn’t ruin the story at all. Keep up the great work…..can’t wait for the rest of it. Dont want it to end, but I know there’ll be others. Take care old friend! Love, Coral

Hey you! As per your usual output, this is an excellent story about the old west. Loving it…..and what hopefully is the apparent attraction between Jubal and Lucas. Can’t hardly wait to see what happens between them, AND the horse “wrangling”! Keep it up, old friend, love Coral

Welcome back, storyteller! Pretty sure I’m going to enjoy the story!

Ah Gary…..so very sad and powerful. Thank you for eloquently expressing how badly I feel. love, Coral

Oh Gary. I have a confession to make to you….I very, very rarely read poetry, but….this I did, and, of course, I cried. I cried for you, and for me. It really, really touched my heart. Thank you. love, Coral

Well, Gary, this chapter made me feel…..GREAT! I do love stories that end like this. Or….is there more to come? As usual, a really feel good story. I’m ready for the next one!! coral

Well Gary. I hoped that when Mitch went to see the doctor in Larkspur, he would be getting good news. Always figured that old doctor in Red Bluff might have been ok for colds and sniffles, but didn’t have the knowledge to know for sure if a man was dying. So I’ve been waiting for this new doc for quite a while, and I’m not disappointed. Next we just have to get him and Will together again and all will be the way it should be. Once again a great story, thoroughly enjoyable. Cheers, Coral

Oh that stupid man! When a man like Will professes his love for a stubborn idiot like Mitch, he should pay very close attention. Will may give up, and then what? Can’t wait for the rest of the story. Of course, I KNOW Mitch will get his health back, and Will and he will end up together! ……..I think??? Can’t wait for the next few chapters, Gary. BTW, how many more can we expect??

Ah Gary……what a great story. Well told, as usual. I’m hoping stubborn old Mitch will go to the doc in town and get some good news. Then maybe he’ll listen to Will, and buy that property he likes. Those were such simpler times back then, weren’t they? Hope you are looking after yourself and staying healthy. love, Coral

Welcome back, Boone and Coy…..and a big howdy-do to Sheriff Willard! Looking forward to every chapter! Thanks, Gary!!

My dear Gary…..it’s been a while hasn’t it? And you just HAD to make me cry. And rage st poor Michael’s mother! Those last two decades of the twentieth century were very tough…..and although I am not gay, so many of my friends were, and are. what a very well written story. Please tell me…did Michael continue to improve and be happy with his love? much love, C.

I missed the original announcement you had caught the virus....and THEN I missed the announcement you were feeling better! Well I’m really glad for the latter. Keep well, Mark!

My dear Gary...I so enjoyed this story, and although I’m sad it’s come to an end, I have your next one(s) to look forward to! I so enjoyed watching Boone and Coy grow into their love. I love how sweet they are together, and love how they’ve built a warm, loving life together. I can’t wait for your next story...is it in the works now? Take care, and be safe. I hear Ontario is pretty bad right now. Coral

As I’ve said before....you’re a GREAT storyteller, Gary! I really don’t want this story to end...as long as there aren’t any problems! Phineas may not show much brightness above his shoulders, but.....does he have any influential friends? Any chance Corker knows anything? I guess they’re going to each build a house/home and stables before winter comes. I will be here for each and every chapter, dear friend! Coral

Sigh.....great chapter. Really happy they’ve found each other, they’re learning about each other, and busy falling in love. Now....please set my mind at rest about the damn lots!

Aawww....I’m really happy Coy and Boone “found” each other. But.....now I have to worry about when they go back to Phineas in Larkpur. Please make it all ok??

Gary....I love, love LOVE this story. I’m very conflicted! I want to know how it ends with Coy and Boone, and I don’t want it to end. What a great tv series this would make. Well done, my friend. Coral

Andre, I have good news.....and more good news. I am really impressed with the last couple of chapters....just a couple of minor typos and spelling errors. You are an excellent story teller. I feel like I’m aboard the Belle with Andrew, Ryan and the bairns. It’s such a pleasure to read now with so few errors. I typed up a manuscript for a lawyer client, his memoirs, who was born in Cape Town, leaving there after college as he was disgusted with apartheid. An extremely well read man, and very interesting. He was the great, great, great grandson of the governor of St. Helena, who governed when Napoleon Bonaparte was sequestered there. I don’t want this story to end...I’m sure there will be some harrowing adventures yet to be told! BTW, regarding the publishing problem you seem to be having. What if you produce your chapter in a WP app, such as Word, edit it in that format, and when all is well, download it, or copy and paste it into your publishing app.

Sorry....this was posted twice!!!

I posted this comment under user feedback, which probably was a mistake. So, with apologies, I will repost it here. I have good news and bad news. Good news is I think you’re a very good story teller, and, for the most part, I am enjoying this story very much. Bad news? Well the number of typos in all the chapters frustrated me ALMOST to the point of giving up. I only saw 5 fairly minor typos in this chapter, which made the story so much more enjoyable! Why not get an editor.....there are quite a few listed with Gay Authors, and they are free. Not sure how many more chapters are in this story, but I hope you continue to tell your stories!
