  1. This is a leap of faith in a v different direction to what one might have thought. The story is, of course, beautifully written as one has come to expect of this highly competent author, but this time I feel the author has put themselves “out there”, out of their comfort zone, and allowed true feelings to emerge. It reads like a cross between a story and an essay. Im not sure that I “enjoyed” it but it has got me thinking, a lot. And for that I truly thank this great author. X

    Chapter 1

    A thought-provoking piece. As someone whom”lost” his Catholic faith 25 yrs ago, initially this anthology didn’t appeal to me. But I. Now on the third piece and am thoroughly enjoying the writings. Many thanks @kbois your tale is beautifully told and your later comments show how coherent your arguments are. 🤗
  3. another reviewer used the word ‘beautiful’ and this really is a beautifully told story. Post war, post combat, two damaged heroes( in my humble opinion) edge closer and closer. I know the author has many fans for her great stories from a different genre, but this story show real quality and gritty realism. I absolutely loved it. Bravo!!!

  5. Would you, a fairly popular guy, take a leap of faith and chat to the loner who eats on his own? This a tale of such a leap and it is beautifully told. Highly recommended.

    Four Years Ago

    Well-used in my childhood in Manchester and Redditch. Not so much “down south” where I was ridiculed as a 10 yr old for my “weird” northern accent….

    Chapter 94

    Just when we think we have guessed what Mark A is up to he pulls the rug from beneath us and leaves us gasping as he strolls away laughing…. I could kill him but then I wouldn’t get to know the end of Gap Year ( or Northern Exposure). mark you are the king of GA. 🙇‍♀️

    Chapter 1

    An intriguing start. Where will this ideal couple end up?
  17. @Doha this is the best one-sentence summary of what I feel ( and as I English teacher I have to say it is a very elegantly phrased sentence). thanks

    Chapter 1

    Oh no!!!! Now you’re in trouble! but seriously, I pleased to see your stories. As someOne said above, you’ve supported so many writers on this site, not only with comments but the huge quantity of reviews as well. Well, done!

    Sorry, but with the two women behind him, Rusty is destined for the Met, La Scala, Covent Garden, and Valencia opera house (look up the photos, guys) where a certain GaryL will be looking after him attentively!

    Chapter 93

    Great chp Mark and, as you say, we are in 2004. Perhaps Hollywood in 2024 will be freer… but I doubt it. Such a good installment and lots to come drama wise, I suspect. Thanks 🙏
  21. Weinerdog, please take care. There is a crazy after you!!!!
  22. But have they freely chosen this? In western world for male prostitution it may be a “free” choice but the evidence for female prostitution suggests a very different picture…..
  23. Surely not……. 🤗
  24. Yep! So see my review of your anthology story …….. be scared 😳
  25. Ok, up front I really dislike cats. However, even the stray who waits, annoyingly, outside the apartment block to be fed by her fans, seems to love me. Why? So a tale involving Martini the cat didn’t jump up to be read at first sight. However, even for non-feline fans this is a lovely anthology story which I really enjoyed. well worth reading. Thank you @kbois
