Outstanding chapter! All of the hard work upgrading the tree house and new deck by Pop and the older boy’s should be appreciated by the younger boys upon their return from Texas. I especially enjoyed Elliott, Ian, Ryan and Noah complaining about how sore they were after working on the tree house, while Pop said he was only mildly sore. Trey was enjoying making them squirm over the liniment to relieve their aching muscles. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Outstanding chapter! Trey has really gotten Ryan interested in learning how to cook basic recipes for when he’s living in an apartment either on his own or with roommates to keep expenses low and to have nutritional meals rather than fast food. The treehouse is coming along despite the weather delays and will hopefully be completed before the younger boys return home from their vacation trip to Texas. Dobby and Flash are getting some extra attention and exercise while the younger boy’s are gone from Trey which is great since the puppies don’t understand what happened to their boys. I love the description of the long boring drive between the city’s in Texas. Distances between cities in Texas are long. There are generally many attractions along the highways and Interstates to help break up the trips. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Excellent chapter! I’m sorry to see the time with Ricky and Tiffany coming to an end. I never would have imagined Ricky seeing King Lear. Josh has a lot to be proud about with Ricky and Tiffany and the level of maturity he’s developing. Neither Josh nor Graham mentioned the student that Graham’s been worrying about to Ricky. The concert with The Rolling Stones was nostalgic and the surprise light show in the sky was a nice touch. Now it’s time to see Frankie and Carolyn. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Outstanding chapter! I am glad that the older boys are rebuilding the tree house for another generation of boys to explore and play in. It has been a long period since the tree house has been used. I am also looking forward to finding out more about Frankie after meeting with Carlos and his mother in the last chapter. The younger boys visiting Texas don’t seem to impressed with the museum’s they’ve visited. Texas has the only pink granite State Capital building in the United States and is quite beautiful. The trip to San Antonio I believe will be more entertaining for the boy’s with the Alamo, Riverwalk which has been greatly expanded over the past few years. Additionally there’s also Sea World, Six Flags Fiesta Texas, and the Mission’s Historical Site. Thank you Bill for keeping me sane with this wonderful story of love, compassion, honor, duty and service to others is sadly lacking in the world that I unfortunately live in. I would love to live in your world. I have my passport! I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Excellent chapter! It’s really great to spend time with Ricky and Tiffany, she has had a calming effect on the legendary prankster. The spring wedding being planned will be the family event to gather all of the family members and extended friends in one place at one time. I’m actually looking forward to it. Ricky has become a responsible adult and will make a terrific parent, unless he passes his penchant for pranks on to his children. If he does everyone will need to be on guard. Thank you for the detailed information about the city of Philadelphia, I’m looking forward to getting to visit and your better than a travel guide for what and where to visit. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Outstanding chapter! I really appreciate the way the younger boys are telling the stories of their adventures in Texas. The innocence and wonder comes across perfectly. I have neighbors whose kids are around the same ages and whenever I talk with them they sound the same. I’m loving this story. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Outstanding chapter! The visit by Sadie with nearly all of the San Francisco family present led to some revelations and understanding of how and why they acted the way that they did. Sadie admitting that their home town being a prison and the church is the lock let everyone know that she’s happy that Adam and Artie have escaped the trap. Adam and Sadie settled their past and are now ready to move thier relationship forward. Her announcement that she’s looking at apartments while they’re at work and school through both of them, while making them very happy. It was unfortunate that Mason wasn’t present, but I’m certain that Sadie will be very happy to meet him. I still think that Ezra hasn’t given up, but let them all enjoy some peace and quality family time together. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

You are welcome Bill, I have lived in Texas for 30 years, 18 in San Antonio and 12 in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.

Excellent chapter! I’m glad that Trey took Dobby and Flash to the dog park for a play date and socializing with other dogs. I’m also happy that Trey finally let Noah know that Holly only see’s him as a little brother. The family members visiting Texas got to visit Six Flags Over Texas theme park, where I work. It’s an amazing place for families to enjoy their adventurous side. With the exception of the current pandemic, I’ve enjoyed working in a low stress place where we do everything possible to ensure everyone has fun! The trip to Hershey Park sounds like an amazing time for those who didn’t go to Texas. I’m Jealous, I’ve never been there yet. I’m looking forward to the research that you do on places the family visits. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Outstanding chapter! I really enjoy the museums, and historical sites that this amazing family visit. I also learn a lot about these cities and towns as potential locations for my husband and I to visit. It’s so nice to get to get updates on the older family members, I absolutely love the feeling and remembrances of their youth with Josh. It’s cute that they are teasing Josh about being old. I am really looking forward to getting reacquainted with Ricky and how his life has changed after his promotion. Thank you Bill for another opportunity to visit with the Currie family! I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃🤬

Outstanding chapter! Eric is the advisor to the King that second guesses what he’s advising to be certain that he’s giving him the best advice. Eric is trying to determine if Klaus is truly an agitator or if he’s been taught his behaviors by his father, grandfather and great grandfather who may have been given instructions by the Russian’s to keep the King on track working for his people. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Excellent chapter! The proposal between Olek and Helga as Queen on the Makarovian News Network will start the one year process of approval by the people. Mario’s family coming to visit will be very nice. The broadcast of the conversation between King Olek and Klaus Ordan didn’t go exactly to plan when Klaus broke into the Palace looking for the King. His neighbors didn’t react well and he’s been told that he’s being absorbed by Romania. He’s getting what he deserves for his constant complaining and whining. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

This was an incredibly powerful story about a young boy who lives his life on the Autism Spectrum and how he faces the societal stigma associated with this poorly understood disability. He shares his experiences in the first person and gives the readers a chance to experience the world from a different perspective. You will be inspired, saddened, exhilarated, angered and amazed by this frank and unique experience. You will learn about how he see’s his world and how he learns how to navigate the problems he encounters and triumphs in the end. I truly appreciate the extraordinary effort that went into creating this story and the utterly amazing characters. This is a must read! 😃❤️

Exceptional chapter! This story had my undivided attention from the start, your use of first person storytelling was brilliant and the attention to detail in letting your readers experience the life experiences of a young person on the Autism Spectrum was simply amazing. I am so impressed with this story and the way you gave insights into their world. Anyone who reads this story will come away with empathy, understanding and compassion for those whose lives are misunderstood, feared and avoided by the majority of people that they come in contact with. Thank you for this amazingly insightful story and the utterly amazing characters who inhabit this Barnstable world. I sincerely hope that you will find a way for those of us who Love Charlie Danner, Billy and the other family and friends to visit their stories again. They’ve become a part of our family as well. Well Done Geoff! 😃❤️👏👏👏👏👏

Outstanding chapter! The pressures of running the Manor, cleaning up the finances of not only the Manor, but all of the businesses and people as well, Rashan’s temper tantrum all combined to bring Jihan to tears when he read Andiya’s letter. Rashan, Firuz and Yasmin were all feeling guilty and Sympathetic while seeking to make Jihan feel better. The difficulties between the leader of the Iron Lands, the Empress and Jihan will test Kastan. Nieth giving advice on how to make Jihan feel more welcome in the Silver Shore Valley and getting the people to understand him has made Kastan realize how much he loves him and how he has left him to fend for himself when he found him crying on the porch. I sincerely hope that Kastan, Jihan, Rashan, Andiya and her baby will all survive the treachery of the Empress. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Excellent chapter! The love between Artie and Dizzy is growing at an exponential rate. Dizzy’s maturity has increased dramatically since Artie’s arrival, as has Artie’s belief in himself. His self confidence has increased dramatically, while Adam’s acceptance of the guys relationship has developed into a true family dynamic. Adam just needs to take the next step with Mason and ask him to move in with them, thereby completing the family. I am glad that Sadie kept her word and was there when Artie got home from school. All the pleasant things that are happening I’m afraid is the calm before the next major storm hits, namely Ezra. He’s definitely not going to give up, I suspect that he will claim that Adam is an unfit parent for Artie, and an investigation by children’s services will begin. I hope that I’m wrong. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Outstanding chapter! There is a lot of depth in this chapter if you take the time to understand what you are reading. Most people these days skim through the chapters and are entertained while it they follow the formula that the reader expects. Authors write a story about a subject that has meaning for them. There’s many stories that just follow the time honored formulas that are supposed to make the writers popular. True storytelling IS an art. If you are looking for a standardized experience you should go to a multi-plex and see the latest film part 19. Artistry makes you think, makes you understand and makes you want more. R. Eric is an artist, he is an author and to me, he can do no wrong. I sincerely hope that the “critics” will go back and try to understand what the characters are doing and why they are doing it. I very much enjoyed the past chapters and am looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️ Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy your stories and the exceptional amount of time and work that you put into them! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Excellent chapter! You’ve brought separation anxiety between the couples who are in different locations to light. Most couples have difficulties sleeping apart after sleeping together for an extended time. The conversation between Trey and Ryan about learning to cook meals for himself was very humorous, he did agree that learning was in his own best interests. The additional conversation about Holly and her lack of romantic interest in either of her brother’s was also very enlightening. Noah remains clueless, but will eventually figure it out. Romantic feelings are very difficult to understand especially when it is totally one way. Danny’s extended days are making communications with the travelers difficult, until Trey recommended that they call after 8:00 Texas time, thereby allowing Danny additional time to be home. I’m really enjoying the extra work that you are putting into the differing points of view with Josh and Trey, it has enhanced this book so much. Thank you Bill, I really appreciate everything you put into your stories. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Outstanding chapter! I absolutely loved the interaction between the key team members at the donut shop, Colleen and Dizzy, Artie and Adam, and most definitely Lindsay and Adam. Artie’s concerns about the viability of the business were laid to rest as Lindsay explained the methodology and work ethic that has made them successful. Another subject that Ezra had no clue about. It was a surprise when Charlotte arrived and gave Artie a verbal lashing for not responding on his phone. I also appreciated Sadie’s comments about Ezra always being a major jerk. A truly apt description for that piece of garbage. Colleen has made it clear to Dizzy that he better be treating Adam well and also helping out around the house. I can hardly wait for Artie’s plan to tell Dizzy that he loves him, knowing Artie with some helpers like Adam and Mason, the day should be filled with romance and happiness! I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Excellent chapter! I am so very proud of the man who Noah’s developing into. His interactions with Sky and Lex were touching as there are no problems between them. Their friendship is still strong and will endure. The Ellen show appearance was amazing and profitable for the aquarium and the Bridges to Adelphi program. I’m sorry to see that this amazing story is ending soon, I will certainly miss Noah and those around him. Thank you Geoff for yet another incredible Barnstable story. I am really happy that you are back to teaching. Please stay safe and healthy. North Texas is a dangerous place during the Pandemic, the numbers are climbing at a truly alarming rate. Everyone please wear your masks when you’re away from home and stay home, safe and healthy! I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Excellent chapter! Thank you Bill for letting that rabbit just run! I have always been a fan of your bunnies and rabbits. I love the background behind how Eric became who he is. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Thanks Bill! I wasn’t complaining, I am quite accustomed with the way you enable us to feel what your characters are feeling. 😃

Outstanding chapter! It’s so nice to hear from Josh again and get updates on his boys. Graham, Andrew and Sammy living together and all being teachers is carrying on the legacy of their father. I was touched by the picture of Cody and the connection that Graham still has with him in times of emotional need. Yes Bill you made me shed tears for Cody, Brent and the others who have passed on. I really hope that Graham with a push by Cody can move forward and find a new love. Graham’s interest in protecting one of his students definitely shows that the Currie family traditions are being carried forward into the future and in different parts of the state. I really hope that Little Ricky will be able to help the child and Graham who definitely needs someone to love. Josh should be very proud of the morals he instilled in his children and their continued care of the families and children around them. He couldn’t ask for a more lasting tribute. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Excellent chapter! Thank you Artie for slamming the door in Ezra’s face! He truly deserved it. Working at the donut shop will be a very good opportunity for Artie and Dizzy to understand how hard everyone works, as well as the chance to gain some experience and show what each is best at. Lunch with Colleen was a great chance to help her understand the family dynamics and how much Adam really enjoys having Dizzy around. Her advice on where Artie should take Dizzy to tell him that he loved him should work out perfectly! I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Excellent chapter! The conflict between “Lady” Baiza and Jihan has not gone according to the Empress’s plans. The Duke has no interest and Prince Rashan has seen and rejected being used against Uncle Jihan by gifting his award to Jihan with a smile. The family of Prince Kastan, Prince Cohort Jihan and Prince Rashan has turned out to be unbreakable. She’s very angry and totally unbalanced in her belief that she’s the princess consort. I am ecstatic how close Jihan and Rashan have become and I believe that the Emperor will intervene between Jihan and the Empress. The people of Silver Shore Valley are avoiding Jihan and his efforts to bring needed trade into the valley to get the local economy moving again and bring prosperity to the people, the Manor and the Emperor’s demand for cash. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️
