Chapter 22 is great! Thanks, Dom. I'm so glad you are back and are releasing chapters of ITFB. It's great that Dennis and Travis are warming up to each other. I say Dom dominates gay fiction. He's the Dominator.

Hedi, you may be a little behind in your reading. Chapter 22 has been released.

Congratulations, Duncan, from an avid reader.

Not to mention plenty of time for some TLC for Trebs. Take care, Dan.

Yeah...Nelson. Thanks, Drew. Nelson, Nelson, Nelson...*tries to remember*. Nelson. Nelson and Milo.

Congratulations, Wildone! Welcome to the club.

I like Milo. I like him because he manages to survive in a most unfriendly environment. I like him so much in fact that I can't remember the other main character's name.

Thanks for your thoughtful blog entry, James. There's no way of knowing if the Obama presidency will play out as you foresee it, but I sincerely believe those in the gay community who are so ecstatic at Obama's election now will be much less enthusiastic in four or eight years. It seems, too, that the champion of change is busy loading his administration (cabinet and staff) with retreads from the Clinton administration. Do all those voters who did not want four more years of George Bush (McCain) really want four more years of Bill Clinton? Obama may be at the mercy of the Clintonistas and a Democratic Congress and be unable to make any of the changes he intends. This would be a good time for someone to document everything that Obama promised to the gay community. The list should be limited to what was actually promised and not include what is only hoped for. (We may be surprised how little was actually promised.) Then we could keep score for the next four years and see what is actually accomplished. I expect some sad faces. Here's an interesting article about the first disappointment Obama has already handed to gays.

Don't know. I joined a week after you; maybe that's it. No, maybe not. Maybe it's because I am more experienced (read: retired). Hmmm. I do know it has taken me about three months to move up on the all time prolific poster list from #35 to #26.

Huh? Our dark-haired Swede merely said he did not consider the camera thing to be suspenseful. See? Hardly a declaration...much less a certification.

Thank you all for your comments. I really appreciate the accolades. Most people don't appreciate how difficult it is for me to type with these webs between my fingers. Ribbit!

Happy Birthday, Bryce! I hope you have a great day and a great year. The 16th year is one of the best. Make the most of it. Look forward to chatting with you soon. Mike

Nothing to worry about? That's what the people living around Mt St. Helens thought back in 1980. Remember the local character named Harry Truman? Poof! Caption: Harry Truman

Vic overlooked How does Dennis like it?...more closely related to In the Fish Bowl.

Listen up, trooper! Get your gear together and pay attention as you read this chapter...and please comment here when you have read it. Someone is looking for another certification of a cliffhanger-free chapter. Well..I can give you a definite maybe. Scar has a particular interest in General Bradson's :

We all need to read Chapter 14 and then discuss it at the thread Drewbie started: https://www.gayauthors.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=21263

Maybe this will help: https://www.gayauthors.org/forums/index.php...st&p=154096 Used to be a picture of you working on your car. I guess that's the same car that's burning up the road to/from Washington.

Yup.

What do I think? I think this is a very beautiful story. I rarely feel so much empathy for fictional characters, but How the Light Gets In is a special story. The backstory in this chapter is very difficult to accept at times...Luc's memories of Daniel as well as Josh's memories of Graham. But you have relieved much of the tension by showing how very different Josh's new relationship with Scott is. Scott's love is the key to Josh's healing. The only drawback is that Scott's love keeps reminding Josh of his past. How will Luc be healed? Who will provide his salvation? Thanks for a great story, Duncan. Thanks in advance for Chapter 8 which I am sure will be here soon.

Duncan Ryder has released Chapter 7 of How the Light Gets In. Enjoy reading and have a great day!

Another great chapter, Dom. Thanks. We all know Joe the Plumber. Now we know Travis the Philosopher:
