    Loved your emphasis on the Christmas sermon. CJ and Owen certainly seem to be on a delicious kind of collision course. Happy Christmas for everyone! Everyone seems to be having so much fun! Can't wait to take a trip down under.

    Twoey and David love each other, but differently. It that lies as it is, the David will go through his therapy, and then probably find his way to another, perhaps more palatable girlfriend. Twoey will spend time healing. He will possibly deepen his friendship with David (if David allows it), and then slide into Matty and Erik's arms and beds. Or David will realize a truth different to the one he has decided on. i sense a heartbreak coming on. More very soon, please?

    No, I think not. I'd be dead in a day because I'd forget some safety procedure...

    Chapter 49 Trust

    Parker Owens posted new chapter in A to Z

    Mom let us take her car into school early on Monday for your swim lesson. You were probably more nervous than I was, but not by much. The idea that something about getting in the pool with me might make you want to run and hide was pretty unsettling. And I’d seen you run. Kaz could beat any of us at a distance run, but I swear you’d win any sprint. And then, what would happen if I pissed you off trying to teach you swimming? If I did something to ruin what you felt for me? So I was kind of sca

    This a wonderful, charming story. I found it very affecting. You bring Axel and Blake, two near-broken and unhappy men, together and let them find happiness. How marvelously you do this. Thank you for this story.

    A happy birthday wish from a grateful reader. Oh may you ever write good stuff, and may it never be enough; may all your birthdays so fine as all your lovely prose divine.

    Thanks for letting us inside Clayton's mind. This is an informative chapter, and it really must be nice to have friends at a local pub who know you and look out for you. Barry must be a local saint. Thanks for sharing this story.

    Well, I sure liked this, as a terrific start. I wish I'd ever gotten that lucky. Looking forward to seeing what develops.

    This text exudes richness and substance. The poem is like a wonderfully complex red wine, with shades and nuances and tastes that will change with reading and re reading. It is an awesome thing you have written, Doctor.

    Chapter 1

    Parker Owens commented on Krista's story chapter in Chapter 1

    This is such a fun story you seem to have waiting for us. As you have done in the past, you nailed the dialogue perfectly. Honestly, you could give us all lessons. Jackson seems a little full of himself, but then many, many seniors who are biggish fish in smallish ponds come off that way. Thanks so much for this story. More please?

    Hey, Sarah - glad you're here.

    There were thousands on the beach celebrating Christmas, New Years, life, marriages (several couples in obvious white), and zillions of shorebirds...a really lovely day, and one that deserves to be remembered.

    A lovely warm day, thousands of tourists on the beach, strolling on the sand, and birds everywhere. Memorable afternoon. Glad it came through.

    Late October

    Parker Owens commented on skinnydragon's story chapter in Late October

    First. Again. Toph is out and being his own man. That must feel great. He feels Steve is good for him, but is resisting Gary - and who is this new fellow? I think Toph is about to learn that his own desires, actions and plans have big effects on others - Gary may be teaching him that - but I'd hate to see Toph break someone's heart. Excellent chapter all around. Please post more, soon.

    Reflection on Christmas Vacation Beautiful creatures under tropic skies, Hot sandy beaches, and hotter guys Soft breezes breathing warmth into my bones Wafting exotic birds overhead. Skimming the currents, they make their way home, Fishing the water for daily bread. They take no notice of skin pale or tanned Parading margins where surf meets sand. Exotic themselves, bright colors and noise, Roosting on blankets, food within range, Or swimming and screaming; girls chasing boys.

    There was both beauty and pain in this chapter; in the end, love overcame hurt, and it was beautiful. This is the fun part: seeing Andy as he really ought to be, without the need to hide, or fight, or just cower in the corner, licking his wounds. Thanks for your review - even more thanks for reading!
  18. Parker Owens
    Andy's stout defense crumbled in the face of Dr. O'Shea's patient questions and his own growing need to heal. His love for Zander (and Zander's love for him) made it feel safe to surrender his secrets. At least, that's how I saw it. I am very glad that this chapter seemed real to you. Andy and Dr. O'Shea can move toward some healing.

    You have pegged my feelings and experiences exactly. Perfect quatraining for a wintry day!

    "And how much he loves Andy." You said it all right there. Zander has become more than just Andy's lifeline to something better; he is that something. Thanks for your. Many encouraging reviews and kind words.

    Confession time: I am a hopeless romantic. I really liked the way this chapter came together, though the early part was very hard to get the way I wanted. The date description, by contrast, just flowed off my fingers. Andy's just soaking up being loved, and instinctively loves back in return. This might mean he actually believes in it. I am glad the recollection of his abuse at the hands of Uncle Ray wasn't as rough for you as the beginning; I know the beginning put some people right off the story. Thanks for your patient reading of the story and for your many insightful remarks.

    This was a very enjoyable chapter. Watching Preston get somehow attached to Indie - and then seeing Preston get Indie out of his Jameson jam - that was truly marvelous. Indie's an ass because Indie hurts, but maybe Preston can help Indie feel it less, and move on.

    Liked this chapter; guys looking out for their boy - and boy looking out for...well, whatever. And all the while, CJ soaks up new sights, experiences and a new continent. Hope both dads and boy are careful.

    I am glad you found this chapter so engrossing. While trust is developed slowly and internally, I'd also say that kids language about that might also develop slowly. In the meantime, it's possible for them to borrow language from other sources. I loved writing the 'date' portion of it especially. Andy beginning to develop his own taste in music is a real milestone in helping him with his own identity. That he can argue about it with Zander on friendly terms is huge. No, it's not Danielle Steele, but they're memorable kisses, just the same.
