Just two, maestro?? I wasn’t sure how the story would go with them back in DC after all the excitement of México DF. But, yet again, Carlos eliminates my doubts. This chapter is wonderful, really good. One small thing story wise, yes CJ is, of course, old enough to deal with Pam, but Ozzie staying silent and leaving it to him? It’s in character but if my late-mother were bad-mouthing my husband I’d have a few things to say in private - like get back to the vineyard! The fact that readers like me get emotionally involved with imaginary characters is a tribute to a writer’s skill. ¡’Eres un crac, Carlos!

Chapter 28 As The World Churns
Gary L commented on Jack Scribe's story chapter in Chapter 28 As The World Churns
A fun, fantasy read! -
Another v satisfactory chapter! I fear the guys might be underestimating Connor and his cohort(s). The roommate could cause trouble….. umm this could swing both ways,,…… EDIT “either way”

Although showing its age in a number of ways, written in time of don’t ask etc., the central love story is as fresh as it was when I first read this many years ago. Horny sailors, Deep South Memphis, what more more do you want?

Ursula le Guin. There were three short books at one level for children, at another for adults reflecting on truth, and decades later she wrote a fourth. Amazing insights into good and evil. And how a “religion” can control a chosen person. I’m not a great reader of fantasy but this is real literature. good luck with the writing!

Not sure I will finish tonight but it’s an intriguing start. In good company with The Earthsea Trilogy

Phew 😮💨

Many thanks to @Carlos Hazday for making Brock Brett’s Malibu neighbour in the CJ series. He has led me to this great little gem. Like a tin of beans there is a lot packed in and not a word wasted. now another great author to explore, although sadly, no longer with us.

What a wonderful surprise as I get into bed. Sadly alone and not with George! How is it possible that after so many years this story gets better and better. a wonderful chapter, really. Thank you Mark.

I Want To Put My Mark On You
Gary L commented on Laura S. Fox's story chapter in I Want To Put My Mark On You
A worthy addition to the developing story. Phew, it’s getting warm in here 😮💨 -
You are a genius!

And so to 2041, many us won’t be around to see the first (openly?) gay president so thanks to @Carlos Hazday for giving us a glimpse of the future. This is a gem for hardcore followers, me included! great job.

The Drop in Centre
Gary L replied to Mikiesboy's topic in Mikiesboy's Drop in Centre's Mikieboy's Topics
My sister’s garden looks the same. Here in Valencia a ridiculous 32° as I got into my car and it’s been mid 20s all week. We need rain! -
Spot-on comment from @Mancunian. It’s like a time line with incidental events, usually involving Pam!, along the way. As others have rightly commented, Pam is so different from the wonderful host back in Australia years ago. But then the guys have grown up and are a world away in so many ways. A lovely, multi-textured chp. V well written. Thanks Carlos

Passing through chapter 69 seems a good moment to reflect on how this installment is going. It is already huge: in length, in number of characters, places and evermore dramatic action. And yet the young protagonist and his friends are growing and maturing. “Wise” older characters are exposed as hypocrites by the Harvard-bound intellectual analysis of Will. This story is working in so many ways and at so many levels. So far it has been a deeply satisfying read - I await the next 69 chps (🙏) with bated breath. bravo.

Wow, another dinner party drama, but a 5***** one in all senses. Will wanted a gap year full of experiences, well he’s got them but far closer to home and more dramatic than his trip to Australia. another really, really good chapter. The creativity of Mark A is stunning. Many thanks for sharing it with us. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
