“Senator, thank you so much for hosting this party. This is rather unbelievable.” “Todd, this is the least we could do for you. Evelyn and I are so thankful for your kindness to us. Hopefully, Arden is looking down on us and thanking us for doing the right thing.” The Senator reached out and shook Todd’s hand. Mrs. Fairfax hugged him and then reached out for Erick. Todd thought it incredible that one of the wedding parties was at the Northern Neck farm of Senator and Mrs. Fairfax. Pe

The drive to Washington on Thursday afternoon was not easy. There was too much traffic for the caravan of cars heading north on I-95 to travel together. Matan and Yonatan were in the Jeep. Zeke and Ayal were following them and then Tim, who had Jeremiah and Bobby with him. Black was leading in the Tahoe. Black insisted on the Tahoe in case anyone needed a quick exit. Green was somewhere behind them. Pink and Yellow were already in the district, getting everything organized. Martine and Geneviève

Dr. John, Welcome back to the world of Yonatan and Matan. These intrepid scouts have an interesting year to maneuver through. Of course, their circle of friends and family are with them every step of the way. Thanks for reading. Mac

Anton, I am glad that I am not the only one with covid-cobwebs. I love that term. Black, Green, Pink and Yellow use only surnames. Pink is the only security person who discloses the source of her name - upcoming chapter. Jeremiah Lipscomb was a gay homeless youth who was kicked out of his home. Erick and Todd encounter him at the homeless shelter in Williamsburg and call Yonatan for help. Yonatan asks Black to go to the shelter. Black takes his bf, Tim Sturdevant, to meet Jeremiah. Tim becomes the foster parent of Jeremiah and through extension Black become a de facto father. Tim is still the foster father in this book. Sorry, it gets complicated when there is a length of time between the books being posted. Thanks for reading!! Mac

"It is beautiful outside. What do you think about cutting class today and spending it on the river?" Yonatan grinned at Matan and liked his lover’s idea. "Do we call in sick for class?" "Yep, spring fever. Come here and let me feel your forehead." Yonatan walked over to Matan. "Yep, just as I thought. You have a fever. You are burning up." Yonatan reached out and grabbed Matan's junk. "Yep, and you are hot, also. I think you need me to provide some medicine to make th

Thank you. You would think an author would know the titles of his books! Mac

Matan swept his curly hair back from his forehead. His hair had gotten longer, and it was not unusual for him to wear a hairband to hold the mop of red curls back from his face. It was highly becoming, but, of course, Yonatan thought no matter what Matan wore and how he looked that he was a piccolo angelo. Matan being a little angel was all in Yonatan’s imagination as he looked directly into his boyfriend’s eyes; they were now the same height. Matan’s growth spurt had been remarkable, and now he

The chapters will be published at least weekly. Daily????? Not going to happen. LOLOLOL. I am publishing two books on GA at this time which along with my other obligations is all I can manage. Thanks for your enthusiasm. Mac

Tony, Thank you. It is great to be involved with this family again. Mac

Anton, These families are challenged but in each instance they are able to overcome and succeed. The timeframe for the story is 1990. Thank you for the suggestion for adding that piece of information because the world has changed dramatically in the last 30 years. Yonatan and Matan are based in southeastern Virginia. Thanks for reading. Mac

“Hello, brother of mine. The one I love so much. The one who is so kind and considerate and would help his brother in a time of need. You are more handsome, kinder, and probably better equipped than me.” Todd laughed at Tayloe’s opening gambit. “This must be important if you are starting our conversation by flattering me.” “You just don’t know. Apparently, Eron has not spoken with you yet.” Todd could feel his blood starting to run cold. “What is wrong? Is something wrong wi

Yonatan and Matan are back in Book 3 of the series. The first book was "Jimbo" followed by "Make Me As An Apple of Your Eye." The Emmanuelson twins are getting married and need Yonatan's assistance while he and Matan are trying to focus on their college education. Summer arrives and the fellows head to Paris for internships where they are also preparing for the birth of a child. When school resumes, events turn upside down, and the fellows realize that they are still being followed by forces who seek to destroy them and their family.

I am working on Book 2

Blue and Tommy are a couple though Tommy also has a girlfriend. He is trying to decide what and who he wants.

I grew up with Miracle Whip (Yuck) and then tried Hellman's and now am a Duke's Mayonnaise fan. It is hard to find outside of the south. Jube is soft and squishy. LOL. Easily bruised and battered in matters of the heart.

I miss Mother Poole even after all of these years. He was a rare gem in my life. Mac

I love the Preacher Kid books. Great recommendation.

You are right about the pressure being exerted on the two boys. They are still boys in many ways. I can vividly remember than when each of my brother's married my mother started immediately on pushing them to start a family. After having seven children, my parents finally slowed down even though my father wanted a dozen. LOL. Mac

You are absolutely right. He slowly gets past his need for money crunching. He is a product of his generation who lives through the depression, WWII and then rationing in England. Thank you for reading the book. Mac

Will, Bigger fish to fry than Mr. Ward and his shotgun. Life has a lot more for Jimbo and Mason to deal with. Mac

Will, Life can turn on a dime, sometimes at 60 mph. That just happened to the guys. Enjoy the ride. Mac

Trace is a strong moral voice for Pate who had a bad experience with the church and now is very anti-church. Trace helps Pate several time realign his moral compass and do the right thing. Thanks for reading the story. Mac

Job, They are singing in English. I learned of the song recently and fell in love with it. Mac

Job, Thank you for reading the story. I am glad for the tears which means I succeeded as a writer. I took a chance on offering music choices and am pleased I decided to say yes. Mac

Job, It was a fun chapter to write. Anything by Faure gets my attention. I have sung this many times and I always get goose bumps when I do. Mac
