I’m glad you're back and hopefully doing better. This good chapter was like an early present.

I remember riding in those back in the day. Ranchers and families that were play ranchers/farmers had them. Hunters, too. Creature comforts were minimal and climbing into the back seat was inconvenient. They did handle the caliche and dirt roads pretty well, and did okay at the beach. One of my friends drove his family’s old International Harvester SUV in our high school and college days.

Thanks for the chapter. Reading made this week a little better.

Justin, I, too, have been missing your storytelling. More importantly, I hope that you are doing well. Your storytelling has been a gift to your readers, and I hope that you know our appreciation of it and your willingness to share it with us are mean a lot. To borrow Ringo Starr’s frequently used quote, I wish ‘peace and love’ to you right now.

Another great chapter, albeit a bit more action packed than some of the others. When I was through reading it, I felt a bit shocked, but not surprised. We see Greg’s character (in both senses of the word) continue to develop without changing. The Fates done good.

I seem to remember that Greg assumed a personal multi-billion dollar fortune. I think he can afford the renovation and then some without feeling it at all. But I could be wrong.

I enjoyed this chapter a lot. Some how, I thinking that it could be Brendan and Jack.

Will could really piss Jays off by calling him Dub for Double J.

Another great chapter with so many Easter eggs. I won’t make any predictions because I don’t want to jinx how I hope the story will go. I am getting dizzy from holding my breath.

Are Semper Fries the proper starch to serve with this meal?

Seeing this new book show up has been a high point in my week. I look forward to reading it. I think Paladin made a good point about Jake’s new eye color, but then what the heck do I know.

JayT, welcome back. I’m glad to see that you are doing better, and I hope that your health continues to improve. I’m so glad to see more of TJ’s story. It’s been such a good read for a long time. Such good characters, great dialogue, and a plot that takes a lot of unexpected turns that make total sense. And for what it’s worth, some of my family have lived not too far from Morriss Road for close to five decades.

Here’s my impression on this chapter. I like the way the family presented this information, which is potentially devastating to Kris, in a way to let Kris know that he is an unwitting bystander in this plot, and that don’t hold him accountable for any of it. It appears that they appreciate his intelligence and skills, and I won’t be surprised to see Stef take him under his wing. JJ is taking this all surprisingly well. But I can be completely wrong about this.

I loved this chapter. I didn’t use a certain icon in liking the story, but I’ve got my figurative fingers crossed.

It appears that JJ is a tiger who stripes are still in the same order.
