The Baxter Boys have not so much found as stumbled, literally, on these good samaritans, and yes it is just in time as Michael needs immediate medical attention before his illness becomes worse, let's hope they are in time. 🤞 We all need some good luck from time to time, these boys need it more than most at the moment. Let's hope they do have a much better and happier future, like you, I wish them the best but I can't tell you what the future holds. I hope you stick with the boys and I promise I will make it as good a read as possible. By I, I also mean my editor @raven1 whose help and support is invaluable. Thank you for taking the time to comment, comments support and encouragement are the lifeblood of authors.

Thanks for the congratulations although I am still writing the end of the story and putting some finishing touches to the many chapters already written, and yes it is hard work, but worth it as we both know. I'm glad that you are developing feelings for Charlie and Michael and rooting for them already, knowing that tells me that I'm getting something right. You are right, they are due some luck after living on the streets for so long. Michael needs immediate medical attention, he is very ill. But what will happen and what they have found will only be found out in time. Thank you for your support my friend, it is the support of good friends, a good editor and the readers that keeps us going.

I'm happy that you are happy and yes the help is very much needed. I can tell you a lot about Charlie & Michael and Max & Stacy, but sorry no spoilers here my editor may beat me lol. Thank you for the much appreciated comments, it's what authors feed on.

Yep, it's just the beginning, I wonder what will happen to them next . The next chapter is written and I promise it will be posted on Friday next week . Thank you for commenting and returning to The Boot World.

Let's hope that their luck holds up 🤞. The last eighteen months have not been so good for them. Thank you for commenting, it is appreciated.

Okay, so I'm impatient, but it's 2 am Friday 17th November here in the UK and guess what, What Happened To The Baxter Boys is now live!

Temperatures were dropping fast, and the night was drawing in earlier by the day. It was expected as October came to a close and November began. Luckily there hadn't been any frost in the city yet, but that could change any night. Shelter was essential, too many more nights without a roof would be a problem. Last winter had been spent in a squat, but that wasn't as easy now. Property owners were being more careful securing buildings or simply demolishing them, and with all of the new development

Charlie and Michael Baxter lost their father at a young age. They have been brought up by a hard-working mother who loved and treasured her boys. Unfortunately, she passed away before they finished college and through no fault of their own, they found themselves homeless. This is their story. This fictional story is set in Manchester, England. The locations are real and existed in the recent past where this story is set, many of the locations still exist and can be visited. All characters are fictional and do not exist, any similarity to any person living or deceased is purely coincidental.

In Drew's case it has slipped so low it's around his ankles and trips him over. If his Hobbit feet were not so big it would hit the ground.

I'm constantly amazed at the unique photos of spiders that @sandrewn finds and posts. Some photographers must have the patience of a saint to get such high-quality photos.

American English was derived from British English. But remember, the only true Americans are the Native Indians, everyone else there is either an immigrant or a descendant of an immigrant.

I don't know if you are right or wrong, what I do know is that I don't agree with colonisation by force.

What Drew forgets is that I wasn't talking about flags. Americans, including Texans, speak English which did not come from Spain. But then, his memory is even shorter than he is.

Have you been swearing at him as well as telling him the Drewth!! Shame on you, I'll tell Mama Espinosa if you don't stop it and tell her you need to be grounded.

Really! You don't say! You must have forgotten that we Brits have been around a lot longer than you Texans and we taught you the language. But now you have convinced me that you know what no is try taking notice of the bird, he's telling you something. NO MORE DREWTH.

I think you need to take that poor bird to the vet's, he has a serious problem shaking so much, or is he clearing his ears of the dreaded Drewth.

As Terry said we are both working hard and having a blast getting everything ready for posting the first chapter. I hope you will take a look and let us know what you think of it. I can't thank Terry enough for his hard work and the support he is giving me and I'm sorry for being the reason you haven't seen so much of him recently. I promise that when I start posting the story we will both have more time and be more involved again.

The day that you have been waiting for is almost here. Make a note in your diary, put a big neon sticky note on your computer, or ask a friend or family member to remind you. What Happened To The Baxter Boys will be coming to GA very soon. Chapter One will be posted on Friday, November 17th. One Chapter or more will be posted each week. You are invited to leave comments following each Chapter to let your fellow readers know your thoughts, every comment will be welcome and will be read and acknowledged. You can also discuss this story and other stories in The Boot World here on this thread.

For God's sake give us all some peace

More like a fallen angel

Jubal's love for Lucas is beyond doubt, even the doc and Reid can see it, they can't say it but I believe they approve. Both men, Jubal and Lucas, deserve love in their lives. I think Reid may be curious about the marks on Jubal's neck, but he doesn't appear to be suspicious, I'm sure he would say something if he was. Reid's priorities seem to be to make sure that Lucas is looked after, and then that Jubal looks after himself, followed by being fair and just to both men and the other victims of Ronnie Prescot. All good qualities in a sheriff, men like him would be few and far between in those days, not to mention in high demand. I like that the doc told Jubal how to take Lucas' pulse, or was it that he sensed Jubal's need for physical contact and gave him a sociably acceptable way to have that contact? I prefer to think it be the latter. I get the feeling that there is more Jubal praying for Lucas in Bearpaw, maybe Jubal is in those other prayers too. I know they are both in the prayers of the readers, after all we don't know what @Headstall has in store for them. I think he has good things waiting for them, if not he better be running to them thar hills,

Yep, tomorrow is Bearpaw Monday, yippee!

Aloha Albert, I hope you and Steve are keeping each other warm 😉
