Hi Page! We are doing good. Aod's sleeping because he had insomnia last night and stayed up cleaning the house. I do have to go shopping. I'm out of my life blood, coffee. How are you and your troop?

There's a magical substance you can use to ward your house against you know who. You just sprinkle it around your property line. Not expensive and probably a common substance where you live. It is called cocos nucifera.

Hi Clo!

Hi Spike! Sounds like you needed a sleep-in. Hope the day goes well for you.

Homemade bread is the best! Hi Albert!

Hi Everyone! Glad to see ya'll having fun.

Spike's too busy making Whoopee!

I wake up with my husband entwined. Unfortunately, he's entwined in the bed covers and not me. 🤨

Two can play the game... as you and Spike have proved.

Perfect choice for the night, @Summerabbacat!

The successful fishing trip and tour of the home have set the hook for the prospective sponsors. Let's hope that Dr. Hamlin can real them in as permanent sponsors. Louise studying to be a model may concern Armand and Colin, but I a sure GG will help Louise avoid trouble. There is always the possibility that Louise can use the skills she will learn in a related career and not become a model. I think Pierre will make an excellent teacher if he chooses that career. He is a great problem solver, empathetic, knows how to build trust, and has a great deal of patience. The students will want to bond with him as their mentor/teacher.

Really Drew? It can be about what I said. We all know you and Spike hang out discussing #Only Friends. Hope you are having a good weekend.

Bar hopping is a Friday night with friends tradition. The hopping is limited to 2 or 3 bars within 100 feet of each other so it's more like slow walking than hopping.😁

Great start on this book. I like how you are slowly building the foundations of Greg's new life by starting with a little history and some facts about how vampires are different physically from what Greg learned as a human.

Hi Spike! Having fun this weekend?

Agree! Drew and Spike may be "only" friends, but I think they're like the #Only Friends who spend a lot of time ....

Hi Clo! No Clo. Aod is the only one I'm that close to. When it comes to the Texan, I usually try to keep at least an ocean distance away. I have had that lump for three weeks almost, but I noticed the thing was much less swollen, less painful and has less of an angry red area.

I agree with @84Mags completely. Hopefully, the task of healing will not be as difficult for the pups. There may be a lot of pups, but Sabastian already has them in therapy with some success. That gives me hope that the mental healing will not be as extensive as Caleb needed. Also, when they were rescued there were a lot of medical tests done on them by doctors, and I doubt the doctors would have missed seeing poison in their systems. Asa will probably not need to go through that agony. Finally, I suspect the damage to the pups that prevented them from shifting was at the DNA level. That is something that Asa's powers can fix more easily. A little physical healing and some mental healing have got to be easier than what Asa went through with Caleb.

Hi Cassie! I've been missing you. Hope you are doing well!

That was my thinking with all the supernatural beings in the vicinity. That kind of place seems natural for demons and at least one author has set some great stories there.

No need to see a manicurist. No nails left to bite. Awesome writing kbois! It was both more exciting and scarier than I imagined it would be. Considering how the healing left Asa, it will probably be several days before he wakes up and more to recharge his energy. Caleb was also exhausted, but the way Giles focused on Asa only leads me to believe that Caleb will be OK and up long before Asa. I imagine Caleb will be taking care of Asa for a while. I hope for Asa's sake Giles sends meals to them.

That's great news, Gary! I hope you regain your energy also. Off to bed. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Otis is very seductive even if he isn't aware he is of his effect on Hudson. Hudson will probably get a good sleep tonight, unfortunately. He's in a very protective mode around Otis and won't give in and do what he really wants to do. I'm sure neither Otis nor Hudson will feel cold in bed. At minimum they'll feel a slow burning sensation.

Hi Gary! How's the recovery coming along?

@bignick, @Albert1434. @Drew Espinosa, @Headstall, @spike382, @Bucket1, @clochette, @dughlas, @Mancunian Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening to all! I spent the day reading the new anthology stories. A lot of great short stories that may become new books are in this group. I recovered from Friday's excess, but tomorrow I'm going in to see the doctor. I have an angry red lump on my thigh that is probably infected. I see many days of antibiotic pills in the near future. Otherwise, Aod and I are doing well.
