    Gary L reviewed Carlos Hazday's story in Fiction

    Another enjoyable read which has encouraged me to go all the way back to the beginning of the saga!! Well done and delivered with more punctuality than my students essays 😀

    Gary L commented on Mark Arbour's story chapter in Chapter 46

    This story keeps getting better and better. How do you keep it up? And Gap Year, too! Well done, and I hope you get an Easter Break. Love from orange-blossom filled Valencia, and hay fever-filled, gary!!

    Hi Carlos, I have been vicariously enjoying the comments of others whilst being unable to add my own praise - my pre-historic ipad doesnt allow me to add comments or even likes. So, using work computer is a risk worthy of taking to congratulate you on another well-developed, and developing, piece of the saga. A v clever spin-off but actually totally integrated at the same time. Ritch has come a long way since the telephone calls with CJ, missing his brother. As every, 5*****

    Western Skies

    Gary L commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in Western Skies

    A very nicely paced piece of writing, as always. There are loads of good stories on this site - some sexmad, others not, but few seem to get into the heart of their characters. You certainly do and i think it's a reason why you have a huge following.

    Some good dramatic writing going on here. Totally agree with ReaderPAul.

    Hi all, Ive been reading this site for a couple of years now and has been a godsend during various periods of sick leave. I have had various articles published in the past during my time as a university prof teaching ethics but for the past 17 years have been living as a British "ex-pat" in Valencia with my Spanish partner. The one-night stand that has lasted since 1999. As a small "ice-breaker" challenge, two statements are true, one is false. Behind each is a story waiting to be told: 1. I worked on the Hollywood blockbuster, Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves 2. I knew Lewis Hamilton before he became Formula 1 champion 3. I have washed the hands of a saint. regards from a rather damp Spain. X

    Black Widow

    Gary L reviewed Mark Arbour's story in Fiction

    Being part of a decade-long running saga is one thing, but pulling off an individual masterpiece is another. Having Read this bit bit has been a real pleasure, awaiting episodes and all the epilogues (!), but now it's time to get down to some serious stuff and read from start to finish. great drama and gifted story-telling. Enjoy, I will

    If It Fits

    Gary L reviewed Mark Arbour's story in Fiction

    I think this is a pivotal book in the series. There is a before - JP and Stef who never quite get there - and an after - together, finally. Bored with work I started rereading last night and completed this morning. Although written six years ago, there is still a freshness througout. great read

    Chapter 2

    Gary L commented on CLJobe's story chapter in Chapter 2

    Whilst on black puddings.... I never ate them in uk but at 45 I arrived in Spain and they are national and regional specialities, meat/onion/rice - based etc. Im making myself hungry at 05.50! A bit early to cook one! Story lookinG good 👏👏

    Although Mark has shown us book after book that he has a good turn of phrase ( to say the least), what amazEs me is the way he gives sUch emotional depth to complex characters and has managed to do this consistently. And then the final part is putting his characters to the test in his complex storylines, such skill and imagination. Black Widow was a really great read, thanks, Mark

    Gary L commented on vanalas's story chapter in Prologue

    One small thing, when writing about a king and his thoughts, perhaps "gonna" strikes the wrong note. But it could be me......

    The Truth Be Told

    Gary L commented on Tallguyct's story chapter in The Truth Be Told

    Some last sentence! Wow! Awaiting next installment with bated breath. 🤗🤗🤗🤗

    Well said, wildone. Perhaps Robbie could escape back to Europe! spain even! Many of you will know this, but some not, in 19th century great English novelists like, Dickens, Trollope etc. published their still famous works in fortnightly episodes and received hudreds of letters about the charachters, their disLikes and petitions for the hero to finally marry the tragic heroine etc.. Sound familiar? We just have a comment box and save the price of a stamp. Finally, a break, yes, but retirement NO!

    I really enjoyed rereading this. I have never been to NO but the wonderful descriptions made me feel as if I knew it at first hand. Great read
