I think he meant "No Dogs Allowed"

Steer clear of New Jersey @Mikiesboy

Sounds a little Nightmare on Elm Street-ish. Here in Florida it is currently 85 and its overcast. We're supposed to get some thunderstorms today so it's overcast. That should keep the temperature in the low 90s. But it's humid... ick. I hope everyone has a good day!

Noted, Sir!

Sequels can serve a purpose if they're planned out from the beginning. Take Harry Potter for example... each book covered a specific year of Harry's schooling, yet each was a completely different story in addition to building the world she created. Sequels that exist just because the franchise wanted it go off the rails... take Star Wars for an example. They should've stopped after Return of the Jedi but once the almighty Mouse got involved, greed took over. I enjoy having characters cross over and make an appearance in another story, but they're not the feature. Its like running into an old classmate... you smile and say hi, maybe exchange some pleasantries and then move on. The only series I did, I didn't want it to be three stories from the same character's perspective. Each story featured a different main character pair, but the plot itself built up within each one. It doesn't make sense to continue a particular story if you've covered everything you wanted to in the first one.

Sounds good to me... maybe I'll have Kage save the day... get these die hard readers off my back for killing him off.

Yes... there is an Irish singer Enya. But I have a character by the same name who can control fire. She's a badass.

Or maybe a collaboration..... what do you say @Mikiesboy?

Every great story inspires more questions than answer in the beginning. Otherwise genres like mystery and suspense wouldn't exist. It's a natural conclusion to think that Andrew will buy Matt, but that may or may not be the case. There are so many directions in which this story can go. It's a true testament to tim's writing that he's inspired all these speculations. That's what makes a great writer.

I guess I deserved that after sharing work tales with you. 🤣🤣

Darn... I now wish I had suggested it.

I knew I should have bet on you when tim and I were discussing the fact that no one had suggested that.

When I first read this chapter it hit me hard. Humanity can sink to unimaginable depths. Dante, and anyone who has dealt with the type of life he had, should be applauded. To survive being on the streets or captivity takes an incredible inner strength. For those who manage to find happiness, they deserve it. I think Andrew is kidding himself: So, the only real danger, I feel, is if I do anything other than what they have laid out The man who runs the sex trafficking that he's going see is a sleeping dragon who should not be poked. I hope he comes to realize this. Another great chapter tim!

My staff is now making fun of me because I sound like a peg-legged pirate when I walk anywhere. I'm trying an immobilizer boot to see if that helps my ankle. I have my brace, but I think that it will be better for maintenance. After over two weeks of wearing it there was no difference. We shall see what happens.

You're heat cranky. Totally understandable with that kind of humidity. It's like walking through a swamp. We've been lucky down here so far. It's been hot, but the oppressive humidity hasn't kicked in full force. Can't wait for that.... not.

**ducks head and slinks away**

It'll be a long cold day hanging out with Lucifer before you catch me in a confessional 😂 Happy Friday Eve everyone... I hope it's a good one!

Make sure you get whatever falls on the floor.

There goes the neighborhood! @weinerdog.. I told tim you were housebroken and rarely bite.. please behave.

It literally took me one chapter and some back and forth with tim to establish what his vision was with this story... that right there is key. It's so different being on the editing side because you see things that you know you would do differently as an author... then you have to be willing to adapt to someone else's style. I lucked out with @Mrsgnomie, she and I already have similar styles. This story gave me a challenge to work with someone I haven't worked with before and honestly the story blew me away. So yes... as much as I'd love to take a smidge of credit for this incredible tale... I can't. I just tweaked a few points.

Self-promotion... I can work with that.

This story is all tim. I just gave him a few suggestions and corrected a few grammarical things... some of which he took, some he didn't. The plot is great and honestly I think this is tim's crown jewel.

I got home 11 minutes too late to catch his gaff... dammit.

Roll over. Get over it. 😆

Oy... it seems like Matt is up the proverbial creek without a paddle. As for Andrew? What in the hell is he thinking? Authors certainly do go to extreme lengths for their stories sometimes. Great job tim!
