  1. This entry in the 2024 Secret Author Contest is excellent. It takes the theme of a group of friends have their pre Christmas party with the usual Secret Santa presents…. Whilst the theme is not uncommon, this story is a very classy version. There are lots of great moments, ideas etc., running jokes, all written with a skillful hand. The story is in and of itself complete but more could be told of Jason’s future. It might not be Christmas now but this is well-worth reading every holiday season. Well done!

    Chapter 1

    Wow this is going to take some time to read! Still, too hot to go out, so it’s Secret Author time. Where did I save that excel? Seriously, there has been great content in the series so far. FANTASTIC!!!
  3. I’m really enjoying this story. It’s out of my usual range and all the better for it. It is still fresh although written quite a few years ago (before I had ever heard of GA!)

    Chapter 1

    A horribly enjoyable read with a good storyline and interesting characters. The genre question added a new angle, for me. Well done. For sufferers of ailurophobia, I’m pleased so say that no cats apppear in this story….

    Lakeside History

    Totally agree with @raven1. I haven’t really read any of the western genre but inspired by the Western Deep Dive lists, I’ve been diving and this is the second one to be read. Although my great uncle worked on an Irish stud farm, I find horses to be a beautiful but alien creature. But I’m here to learn!

    Chapter 19 - Adam

    Well, it certainly worked for me! Hugely enjoyable. Thank you @Andr0gene. And your backlist is pretty good as well 🤗
  10. An interesting triangle of relationships. One starts 100% on one person’s side, then get another one, and finally we get it. Very cleverly thought out and very nicely written. Can’t believe I missed this one first time around. It is very good, in my opinion.

  11. Thanks. I’m not familiar with some of the step/half relationship names. I can see how it works with Brad as the wicked stepmother he didn’t know he had for many years but it just seemed strange to call her Will’’s grandmother with no blood or legal link. However, the most important thing is what is going to happen next? This episode was one of your best!

    Chapter 18 - Kai

    Never have I ever …….. 🤮
  14. I would like to second that, like many great ideas someone has to do extra work. Many thanks @Cia. 🙏

    Chapter 1

    A very distinctive story, a wild road-trip with a sub on leave from his dom, and a straight woman. Very good story with a great epilogue. Nicely done.
  16. Are you sure, esteemed author? By marriage to Brad’s biological father but there isn’t a bloodline to Will. Or will I have to reread everything as a punishment for not concentrating? 🤗 You have got many of reaching for your back catalogue!

    Thank you kind sir! The camera does lie, thankfully. See you on Wednesday!

    Chapter 15

    This story just gets better and better. There are lots of routes the story could take, which way will it be, I wonder? Such an amazing plot coupled with great writing skills. Thank you @Mikiesboy

    I totally agree! Great comments.

    Chapter 1

    A good story, shades of a 21st-century take on “The secret garden”, which added to my pleasure. I don’t quite understand the role of the envelope at the end, or am I being dim today? Thanks 🙏

    Chapter 3

    The story advances, first hurdle, finally, dealt with….. next one what to do with Ben! All written with a deft touch of humour that we expect from @Mark Ponyboy Peters.

    Chapter 2

    Two black and tan miniature with short hair. The summer heat here is terrible for the long haired ones. We were getting two sisters but one withdrawn from sale due to serious illness, poor thing. So Greta arrrives on Thursday and Berta in September……

    Nox or Not?

    The stars of the show are two kittens which the guys are looking after for the weekend. During the weekend we learn of the sad home life of one and the undeclared love of the other. Cats return as a key component of the climax. a lovely, gentle story written with feeling and empathy. The author should be congratulated.

    A fascinating journey with Keith. Revisiting a place where you suffered can bring release and relief. But not always. Poor Keith.
