    Chapter 10

    Simply, wow. And brilliant to end with his mom supporting him.
  2. Carlos, as always you bring us right into the present with your insightful and knowledgeable — dare I say — musings on the current state of things in your stories. Thank you. You include those of us who are gay and proud to have grown up in military families (20 yr. rug rat here — born while my father was in Korea. Lived on every Marine base in the US growing up. Cousin is a general in the reserves.) Perhaps a ray of light for those who only see things in black and white. (Uhoh, I think that might be a song lyric. Anyone, feel free to use it.) Your stories give me hope.

    Chapter 35

    DK, I am more than impressed with the way you have managed writing parallel stories in the different time iterations. Talk about an extended spread sheet keeping track of characters, places, time lines and motivations! Thank you for the great contemporary sci-fi.
  4. Carlos, please keep it coming! Nice to have Chipper back for a bit. And love the pink toenail. My husband picks a different color each summer!

    Great chapter! But what could Zoltan possibly sue Rick for?

    I wish I could up with something more original than “wow, you’v outdone yourself with this chapter!” But you have. Thank you for such a delightful story.

    Who knew a story about gay were creatures and Elementals fighting fire in the wilds of Australia would be this engrossing and dare I add believable? Thank you. Many career jarheads in my family, including my father. Semper Fi.

    Chapter 40

    Bravo, indeed. What an amazing piece of revisionist historical (and often hysterical in every sense of the word) writing.
  9. About time. Wow. You dragged that out to the nth degree. How oblivious can one be?

    Chapter 4

    More please! A very enjoyable series of stories.

    Embers 4

    Had to be evacuated from a canyon in Malibu while on a commercial shoot during one of the big fires there. Saw the 150 foot flames 2 canyons over. Frightening and humbling.
  12. As always, Carlos, you draw us in to the amazing world you have created with the engaging characters and escapist, but realistic plot lines. Thank you. You are one of my faves.

    Chapter 35

    Well, I do think and hope you are working towards that goal!

    Chapter 35

    Okay. You are really piling on the complications and gore now — hopefully with some glimmer of hope or resolution in sight. With so much tension the story is fascinating and difficult to follow at the same time. What could have been just an off-kilter love story has developed into a far darker and deeper story. But, I do hope for a happy ending. Not Romeo and Juliette.
  15. While also enjoying your other writing endeavors, I am so glad you are back with this story. Thank you.

    Chapter 5

    Aaron, you are truly in your element with this love story and these well drawn characters. Thank you for another great story. (Though I anxiously await the follow up to your first endeavor.)
  17. Gary, thank you for bringing these 2 to life and sharing their lives with us. A truly beautiful story.

    Chapter 23

    A beautiful chapter. Love the poetic imagery of your writing. Sam and Pierrot, very good.
  19. Aaron, brilliant time to break. Please don’t leave us hanging too long for the next book.
  20. Glad you’re back. As always, great characters and story development, and plot twists. Look forward to where you take this. Thank you for some of the best writing out there.

    Chapter 18 Teamwork

    As always, great writing. Love your Dickensian approach to naming your characters — a corker indeed! And delightful. The sour Mr. Lemon appears to have been dealt with, though I’m sure new challenges await.

    Chapter 20

    Profound indeed. Passing this along to our dear friend the Rector. Thank you for your writing and reflections in these especially confounding times. The island seems a particularly apt metaphor right now. Looking for mine.
  23. What Patch 1 said — couldn’t agree more. You have made it all so relatable — believable not being quite the right word for me here. The characters, their emotions and responses make it all “relatable.” I know it’s not real (me thinks), but boy oh boy do you put the reader right in there. Not my style to go on and on. So simply, thank you for such an engrossing and engaging story.
  24. Hallelujah indeed! So glad there will be more story. Thank you for one the most enjoyable reads on this site as well as many others.
  25. Cannot wait!
