I am not a veteran. It is a small guilt in the back of my mind. I am so proud of the young men and women who sign up to protect our country! I am also proud of you for using Brad's story to bring more attention to our veterans. They deserve all the support we can give them. Thanks.

Here in my corner of Washington State, spring is trying to make an appearance. We have had some nice, sunny days. It makes this haiku seem especially appropriate. Thanks Wayne. Nicely done.

It is nice to see Troy interacting with Grant's parents in a mostly positive way. I know he is missing Grant, but this is a great opportunity to get to know William and, especially, Sandra. And for them to get to know him. Thanks.

Round one goes to Troy. Sandra was very direct, maybe to the point of rudeness. Troy seemed unflappable and gave strong, direct answers to her questions. I am anxious to see how things go during the rest of the visit. Thanks.

I feel confident most of us will come out of the other side of this nightmare. Many of us will have been changed by this. Maybe society as a whole will change. This virus certainly has been a harsh reminder that we are now a global community. Reading the other comments, I will repeat one: "You've got this, Tim." If you forget, I am certain Michael is there to watch over you, love you, and remind you: You've got this. And you also have support from your GA family. ❤

Sad, but so true. You have done a great job describing the reality of this epidemic. In spite of some crazy fools, I think most people are trying to make smart choices and stay safe. Nicely done and very timely! Thanks.

A make over by Jeff sounds promising for Simon! I can't wait to see how the weekend turns out. Thanks.
-
Poor Simon. He is a bit naive, and that make him worry. As someone else said, Jeff seems to be a great match! He certainly knows how to handle Simon's worries. I wish Simon would confide in Freddie or Vee about his feelings for Jeff. It seems to me that Jeff has a thing for Simon. Maybe he would like to be more than friends. As this story moves along, I am enjoying it more and more. Thanks.

Thanks for the important message at the end of this chapter!

As several readers have pointed out, it is great Brad's story can be entertaining while sending an important message. Good chapter! Thanks.

Well, I see you have reached into your bag of supporting players and come up with two more interesting, well rounded characters. It happens over and over in CJ's world. Bravo! Henk and Anne could easily be main characters in their own stories. If I weren't so lazy, I'd go back to the beginning and count supporting characters. It must be close to 100 by now. Maybe more. And as long as I am patting you on the back, let me remind you of my opinion about your dialogue. You write some of the most natural dialogue I have read! You have a real talent of getting into a character's head and putting appropriate words in their mouth. Thank you.

I am starting this story "a little late," but knowing your writing style, I will quickly catch up. Brad's speech was impressive! I take it you are going to be adding speech writer to your resume (right under author and tour guide). One more chapter and I am off to bed. I'll save the rest of the catching up for tomorrow. Looking forward to reading Brad's story. Thanks. "

Whether fantasy or reality, this was well written and hot! Brian and Aaron are both great characters! In spite of being supporting characters in "Ash and Ember," they could easily take the lead in another story. That is how well rounded you have made them. Nice writing! Thanks.

Chapter 8 - In Full Bloom
JeffreyL commented on Ivor Slipper's story chapter in Chapter 8 - In Full Bloom
I really enjoyed reading your story about Chris, Billy, and George! These guys were appealing and interesting. I was quick to like them! Although I would enjoy reading more about them, your ending did a good job of wrapping up things. Thanks for sharing this well written story. -
It was great to learn more about Rhett. I liked the way Grant kind of took him under his wing at the party. I hope this group of friends will work some of their "magic" on Rhett. I also really enjoyed the conversation between Grant and his boss about his sexuality. There should be more bosses like Dr. Petrucci. Thanks.
-
I loved the conversation between Grant and Brian at the end of the chapter. Having Brian's blessing and having him share his feelings was a milestone for Grant. I was moved by Brian's words. Thanks.
-
This chapter was really good! I thought the dialogue and actions between Troy and Grant over the journal felt right to me. I don't feel Troy would have lashed out at Grant, but I also feel John's letter and Grant's reaction made all the difference. Thanks.
-
I am really enjoying Dorian's backstory! Like your other "Running With the Pack" stories, this has interesting characters and good dialogue, and a really interesting plot. I like the link to the other stories, but I am also glad it can be read as a stand alone story. I look forward to more of this well written story. Thanks.

Once again you have created some quirky, interesting characters! I enjoyed this story, and chuckled to myself several times. After a shaky start, it was nice Arnold got an HEA. Thanks.
-
You should both be very proud! This story was a lot of fun! I would like to echo Rick, it is amazing how well you blended together in your writing! Job well done, and I look forward to the next season of "As the Houseboat Floats!" 😉 Oh, and after all the craziness, it was nice to have an HEA for the guys. Thanks.
-
The perfect ending to a well written story! I have three tick marks on my list, and I checked off all three for this story you wrote. 1. Your characters are interesting and enjoyable. 2. Your dialogue sounds real and matches the characters. 3. Your descriptions add to the story without taking over. I am looking forward to reading your next story. Thanks.
-
This is good as a stand alone story, but I am certain all your fans enjoyed the CJ connection! Once again your talent for creating interesting, likeable characters shines through! Thanks.
-
This chapter is what I have been waiting for. I loved it! I do think Aubrey and Andrew are made for each other. Looking forward to the end. Thanks.

I'm not certain which side of this tale is the true soap opera. I do know I have laughed my way through this whole story; both halves! I am looking forward to the wrap up. Thanks.
