    Monday

    In a local beach near Valencia, those who dare to assemble umbrellas etc in “la primera linea” and head off for hours will find the umbrellas gone and a (large) fine awaiting them…. Take note holiday makers around the Med!!

    Trust me, having been there with my mother and a dear friend, you can inspect one too many pottery pieces with lemon decorations. Being taken to a market in Amalfi was against my human rights!!

    Okay, we’ve had the seafood linguine ( no cheese, please for me), now bring on a delicious semifredo dessert with lemoncello. This is making me seriously hungry after a snack supper. great stuff, mr C 🤗

    Chapter 38

    A perfect comment which resonates for all Mark’s fans. But not too much of this vacation stuff for authors, okay. For their public, like you and me, yes. Don’t encourage mr A to relax tooooo much 😊😊 😂
  5. I struck lucky in the 80’s. Friends long gone but I escaped, another memory being smuggled on to a USAF nuclear base for a night of fun…. After the MPs had been bribed 😱
  6. Thought-provoking. Yes, I remember the old scene in London, shaking hands with the Village People’s cowboy, falling into wet concrete as I left Heaven, climbing along a low roof to get in at 03.00. Those were the days…..
  7. Thanks. Some unknown, to me, stuff. I must find your reviews. Regards.
  8. A great line up of characters, each flawed to some extent. A lot can happen in 150k words and I’m hooked !!! good work, so far.
  9. A change of style in the CJ and Owen ( and Liebe) sagas. A stand-alone 8,000 word story which allows fans to see how Mexico drama was in fact more dramatic than we thought, and outlines indicated for the future. even Carlos’s most demanding fans must be satisfied with the visit to Key West. I was, you will be. 5*****

    Saturday

    A beautifully written comment and the final sentence puts in better words than I could what it is to be back in mr C’s Ravello. ps hugs from 40° Europe. We are melting
  11. An utterly intense couple of hours. I hope they get off the boat asap, 1 because it ain’t safe out there with a loony “pastor”, and, 2 more importantly for me, I hate boats, can be seasick in a harbour, how I cope with Northern Exposure is a miracle! Get them back on shore, please mr Dodger. ps returning the so-called pastor is optional. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

    Yes, I’m an addict of your stories. And yes I was in that hotel. My mother was with me and ill, so I “just had to” wander around, and fall in love with the town. And then I discovered Parsifal and made the connection. thanks for such great, evocative tales. 🤗
  13. Not sure if his liver liked it as much…..
  14. This is going to be a good summer read! 🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋

    Saturday

    Memories of a wonderful week in Ravello in mid-80s come flooding back with your writing. A room looking over (supposedly) Klingsor’s magic garden but above all … those lemons 🍋 Enkoy your holiday and I hope our hero does as well!!!

    Alan's story

    There is hope in this world….. still. 🤗
  17. Sounds like the perfect verb to describe (non-)action of quite a few of my dear students! It will be word of the week in September. Thanks!!
  18. Like the man says. This read has been really satisfying. I hope Mrs G is enjoying such great feedback. As an author she deserves it. ❤️
  19. A coming out nightmare for Maddox. Hopefully he will “wake up” and find his parents focussed on his needs here and not on their preconceptions…. Well her’s hoping. Good luck Maddox. And for Jonathan, watch out for the sin of omission 😱😱😱😱
  20. Do I really have to beg on bended knee? I would do it mrs M, but who will you send to help this arthritic wreck to stand up again? Be gentle with your (aged) fans O great One. ok mrs m is that enough?????? 🤗🤗🤗
  21. When someone writes this well, as you imply, it doesn’t matter. The author drives me mad at times as I think I’ve worked out how they tick and then Mrs M throws something into the mix to keep me guessing. As you say, Jay is pretty smart - and determined, single-minded etc etc. oh for more, if Mrs m is listening……. 🤗

    Chapter 3

    Because something doesn’t seem right with the exploitative Harry. I fear for Will. 😰

    Chapter 1

    Just found this series. Nice echoes for me of visiting Soho shops as a student long before 97 but the same neuroses. Great start. I’m hooked 😊

    My Son

    Not sure how I missed this but it’s a great father reconnecting with son story with twists and turns on the way. the whole series of Tampa books is great. Easily 5*****

    Chapter 2

    I have the feeling that this is going to be a tough read but with a mum like his, decking the principal, there is hope. Great stuff Aquarius. 😊
