This was a good chapter! I am glad to know more about Shasta (sadly), and I loved the descriptions of the solstice festival! Thanks.

Oooooo! More mysteries! I love it! I am still really enjoying these characters and their story! Thanks.

First, I have heard several "orange" comments and nicknames, but orange blob is a first for me, and I laughed outloud! Second, how do you pronounce Aja? I would guess being an older white male is a disadvantage here. There, the silliness is over. I really enjoyed reading Thiago's story. Back in the early days of friendship with CJ, I remember him as being more of a quiet guy. I liked what he had to say. Not for the first time, you have used these terrific characters and your wonderful storytelling ability to deliver meaningful discussion to social issues. Thanks for providing food for thought and discussion. I look forward to reading more about Thiago and the rest of the cast!

Another great story with great characters! Everything was first rate: characters, dialogue, setting descriptions, pace. I enjoyed the short post script letting us know how Colin's and Billy's story ended. Most enjoyable! Thanks.

I am really enjoying this story! Crow is a very likeable character! You have also written several interesting supporting characters. It took me a while to understand this world you've created, but I am so hooked now I can hardly wait for more! Thanks.

My draft number was two. Fortunately I received one of the last college deferments given, and the war ended about the time I was to graduate. For young people today it is often hard to realize how different things were.

What a great story! It was fun to have it focused on Brian! I also enjoyed spending some time with Peter! I don't remember much about him from the earlier stories. I am thinking he was maybe mentioned but not really part of the stories. I am looking forward to spending time with these wonderful characters you've created! There is no big rush. I am just glad to know more stories are coming. Thanks.

I just finished bingeing chapters one through five and enjoyed every minute! Once again you have written some really good characters! It was great to read about Colin and Billy as they climbed through the ranks! I am looking forward to reading more about their adventures and relationship. Thanks.

Hooray! Our guys finally let down a bunch of barriers! You write a wicked sex scene! It might be time for a cold shower. 😷😉 Now their relationship can move forward, and they can solve the mystery of the cousin and the cottage. I can't wait for more. Thanks.

OMG! Nothing like a major increase in the action and anticipation of what's next! I am excited! Thanks.

It was tough to have Boomer stay behind, but I understand his reason for doing so. Although it was sad, I really enjoyed this chapter! Well written! Thanks.

I enjoyed this boat story a lot! I am sorry to see it end, but I will look forward to reading another boat story in the future. Thanks.

How nice to see the crew from the Peter Charles show up in this story! Thanks.

I haven't commented in a while, but I continue to enjoy this story! It just keeps getting better! I was glad to learn Adrian's secret. It wasn't too much of a surprise, but explained a lot. I am annoyed that you left the fireplace wall mystery for another chapter. I can't wait to see if it is a big mystery solved or a red herring. I hope Leonard makes his move like he decided and doesn't have second thoughts. I really like these two guys, and their dialogue sounds so natural. Both are due to your good writing. Thanks.

Once again you have created some interesting characters. Carlos, Anthony, and the parents are the kind of people that would make good friends. I like the way Tony and Rita are playing matchmaker! Carlos is very mature for someone his age. His parents did a good job raising him. I have enjoyed this story so far, and I look forward to reading more! Thanks.
