  1. Awesome story just in this chapter alone. I JUST WALKED says it all. Thanks for giving us an idea of how it must feel - frustration, elation, impatience, hurt, all that - just to be in Ryan's place. I'm really hoping Clayton will help him with the frustration of having to wait. Thanks again!

    I like them together, too. And we know Zander will be there for Andy in the trying days to come. Thank you for reading!

    Chapter 66 Us

    Poor Andy never thought he'd ever get a glimpse of Happily Ever After, and here he is, living there. He and Zander will never be able to forget the wedding day, or their first day at the cabin either. Now they must learn to bind their lives together, but I think they're going to do that. Thank you for your kind and encouraging words.

    Chapter 6

    What I really like about this chapter is that I finally began to wonder if a slow, circling dance between Luke and Jackson was beginning. Before, I wasn't sure I could happen. Now I wasn't certain that it wasn't. Your usual beautifully written dialogue and descriptions helped me envision events unfolding perfectly. I am so very much captivated by this story, and very grateful for it. Thank you. I know authors like to see this in a review, but this is heartfelt: more, please.
  6. I was fascinated by this. Incomplete correspondence, and a look at writing fragments are captivating vehicles for telling a story. What you have written will need many re-reads for me to make better sense of it. I feel for the pain I read in C, though. Thanks for a marvelously interesting read.

    Thank you for reading this. Reading a news story about the heartbreaking condition of our brothers in Nigeria and Uganda got me thinking about a story. Daniel and Ibi just appeared one day...and they crossed many interesting lines to find some happiness and love. Thank you for your encouraging and kind words!

    Chapter 66 Us

    How is 'married' supposed to feel? In the two whirlwind weeks since you proposed, I kept wondering. Would being married feel different? Would marriage change the love we shared? Would it become more brittle, or get tarnished some way? Would being married move us up in the world in some unexplained way, like moving up from JV to Varsity? Would I suddenly feel older, more responsible, more adult? How would it feel? I didn't feel any of those things. It felt like rest. It felt like fullness. Li
  9. It must have made your heart sing to realize they were on their honeymoon! The boys were just as mystified as you for a while there. But Andy finally recognized where clever old Toby had taken them. The door has locks, but the boys don't need them. All is safe, and warm and happy. May it ever be so. Thank you for you faithful and insightful reading. I appreciate your wonderful reviews.
  10. I'm so glad you are happy at this moment. A great and loving peace has descended on the and us, too. It's wonderful, no? You have been so kind to read and comment! Thank you!
  11. A cold cabin in the woods...just the place for a honeymoon. But it's perfect for these two, where they can be completely at ease and at one with one another. You are right...the cabin is a place they will always remember.
  12. Thank you for your kind comment. I labored over the lovemaking; hope the tone was right! Now they are together, and happy...

    I'm getting to be quite a matchmaker, apparently. I'm glad you thought it a good read!

    Chapter 1

    You have hit upon exactly what I hoped to convey. Kindness is at least as universal as hate, and stronger, too. Actually, as I understand it, police authorities do try to respect each other's turf and work together whenever possible. It's when an over eager or inexperienced agent gets involved that sparks fly. I am glad it felt believable to you. Thanks for your kind words!

    Amen. May they love very happily in peace. Hope the get to store up many newer and more joyous memories.

    I am so glad you liked it! The plight of men like them is heartbreaking. These two have been hanging about in my head for a while now; they simply crossed a bunch of very interesting lines.

    Chapter 1

    You were so very good and kind to read it for me! The unhappy plight of our brothers in parts of Africa makes me weep. For Daniel and Ibi, a chance to emigrate is a chance to live. And how deliciously ironic that a Seneca reservation and a single native man standing on his rights sets them free. Thank you for all your help and for your kind review.

    I'm a hopeless romantic, too. Fairy tales occasionally happen. Glad you liked Daniel and Ibi's story. The plight of their countrymen is terrible.

    Confession: your About Carl got me thinking of setting a story back in the Falls. Thanks for reading about Daniel and Ibi; I am glad you enjoyed their story.

    The Epicure

    I started reading this, and was forced by an appointment to put it down. Augh! It was exciting and engrossing from beginning to end. This was wonderfully developed. Can't wait to see where else you send Jeff to dine.

    Chapter 1

    Thank you for your kind words. Coming from an experienced pro like yourself, they mean a great deal. Daniel and Ibi have been waiting for a catalyst, and the Antho subject sent the whole thing off and running. How mobs and groupthink seem to put reason and charity on the run is terribly, terribly worrisome. How lucky for Daniel and Ibi that they crossed a line they never knew about.
  22. They are wonderful people, and hard to let go. Glad you liked this chapter.

    Whew. All in a day's work, huh? Lots of action, great scifi with lots of leads to follow up.

    Worthy

    Yup, you can expand this. I'd like to see the next ten chapters by tomorrow, please.

    Chapter 1

    Thank you for reading this; Daniel and Ibi have been rattling around in my head for a while now. The Antho theme help their story coalesce. Perhaps now their love can grow without fear or fetter.
