    Chapter 20

    Robin looked at the text from Timothy. 'Entering cabin now. I hope you didn't lie to me.' She blew out a relieved breath, texted back, and waited for a response. two minutes went by. She bit her lip. "Okay, moving to next stage." She whispered to herself. She pulled out a cheap, disposable, Trac-phone and called 911. "Hello! We need an ambulance, and the police at the old Sexton Place! Please, hurry! There are injuries, and shots fired!" She hung up, then she made another call on her reg
  2. Well, thanks for pushing me to post it, tim.
  3. I’m still a dabbler compared to some. But, I do try, so thanks. 😘
  4. Thanks, Chris. ❤️
  5. I'm glad you like it, Mike. Thank you for the nice words.

  7. Looking in at broken parts, To mend is all he needs, Scattered pieces strewn about, Like windblown tumbling seeds. Fractures there, he sees them march, Helpless to stop their spread, "Open up!" he screams in vain, Words pound upon your head. "What can I do to help you?" His voice stirs something there, Wounded eyes take in your knight, He holds you with his stare. "Broken love is all I have, I don't deserve you here." You try to roll away, apart, To free him from your fea

    Chapter 19

    Mac, Yeah, definitely that small town vibe there, eh? I'm glad you liked that addition. 🙂 Bluegrass Symphony is set even smaller! But, I finished chapter three of it, and I'll upload it to Storylover today. If you're on my notification list you'll get an email when it happens. Currently, the chapter is in the hands of my beta reader/editor, Jim, and Mr. @Thorn Wilde a resident GA editor/writer who took mercy upon me.

    Chapter 19

    Thanks! Did you notice the extra scene in Chapter 18? The one when Corbin went to talk to Chad in the police station? I felt that was an unresolved little thread, and I needed to neaten it up a bit. I already knew in my head what happened, but it needed to be written. And we might have a sequel down the line.

    Chapter 19

    Luca seems to be aware of much, and the circumstances of Corbin's behavior toward his own Family are likely not beyond Luca's reach. It took a lot of balls for Corbin to stand up to what he thought was a capo. Perhaps it's best he didn't know Luca was a Don, eh? Still, he acquitted himself well under the eyes of many powerful Family.

    All in due time. I will say - Luca is a very complex, smart, and methodical individual. There's little which happens around him that he didn't plan.

    I don't think I could have put it better!

    That's what he's trying to do. We'll have to see how it turns out though! And a punctured lung isn't exactly something you walk off. So, we'll definitely have to see how things go!
  14. Yes. Exactly. Don't be happy with "almost." We all deserve to feel good in the clothes we're in.

    Chapter 19

    Yeah. There were hints all along the way. 🙂 Rereading it knowing what you now know will reveal things you may have subconsciously picked up the first time. Some readers have been unsettled by Harris, particularly after it was revealed that he tortured and killed three hit men.

    Tomorrow! I promise I'll post it tomorrow. 🙂

    Chapter 19

    😈 Hahaha. I didn't start out to make Harris the "bad" guy. But, things fell into place, and it made me wonder if I could make it work. And here we are - living in a world where the mob is trying to keep our hero alive, while the FBI is trying to kill him. 😮

    Chapter 19

    Yeah. We wouldn't want Harris getting hurt!

    Chapter 19

    When I was posting this chapter by chapter onto Nifty as I wrote it, a single person guessed at what would happen. At chapter 11, he guessed with about a 95% accuracy of where everything would fall. I was dumbfounded and I sent him a print copy of the story for free.

    I'll upload the next chapter tomorrow. I promise. 🙂

    I'm sorry! I know, this was awful of me. It was a different time in my life when I wrote this. Apparently, I had a mean streak.

    Chapter 19

    Yeah ... this is like "author terribleness 101" with a cliffhanger like this. 😳

    Chapter 19

    Honestly, this didn't happen until chapter five. I was happily writing a pure suspense when the idea popped into my head to make our favorite FBI agent the antagonist. I literally sat back, stared into space and said: "I can't do that." Blinked. "Can I?" Then I furiously reread what I had already done and realized ... yes. Yes, I CAN. And yes, I SHOULD. And that's how Wayne wrote his first mystery.
  24. Good morning. And I absolutely echo that sentiment. Friday took two weeks to get here, it seems.

    Chapter 19

    Paul yawned as he stood in line at Hailey Coffee Company. It was Monday morning, and he had just been relieved by the oncoming shift at the fire station. His boyfriend had already caught sight of him. Corbin grinned at him as he made drinks for the patrons ahead of Paul in line. Paul smiled back at the blonde man. He finally stepped up to the counter. "Hey, Paul!" Karen, as excited as always, greeted him. Before he could respond, Corbin handed over his sixteen-ounce americano with a smirk.
