Has anyone heard from @PrivateTim?? It's not like him to be MIA for so long... hes normally quick with a riposte!

Yes, in Sydney, and the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is next Saturday night, 2nd March. Will be televised across the country on one of the national broadcasters live and ad free. Will certainly be having a drink 🍸 or 4 that night 🌙. Will check out your recommendation 😀

I saw that the chapter had arrived and that 4 comments posted quickly thereafter. I needed to reread the previous chapter for my bearings and was reminded of @Myr note regarding statistics (memo, that one has a sharp serrated tongue and be careful not to be targeted for sloppy thinking). @Mark Arbour, the stage is slowly being set, how long til the explosive action I wonder. Also wonder how you keep two series on the go simultaneously!!!

Bombai Sapphire gin?

I have been to 2 summer Olympics, EVERYTHING can and does go wrong. I am sure @Mark Arbour has everything in hand. Or not.. kidnapping, drunken escapades, car chases and the proverbial kitchen sink...hahaha

I was going to say the same thing, gee he makes me smile that man . (Jj incase there was doubt)

Do you have the time to reread this with your own readers breathing heavily down your neak like a salivating vampire 🧛‍♂️ 🤔 hahaha, ( just kidding you 😆)

I love both the JJ chapters and the vitriol from all the haters. Makes my day far more interesting, and I should add that I have a sister who is the female equivalent of JJ. Her forte is apartment decorating, it is exquisite, her taste in husbands.. not so much, even by number 4...

I feel like I have been away and returned to the warm embrace of the extended family. I was also surprised (as an Australian) that our esteemed author was so knowledgeable about Ian Thorpe and I have trust that should he reappear in this book it will be with great respect. I also confess to having the hots for the man and wondered if his huge size was proportional...

Can I recommend the song by Dami Im called "Sound of Silence " perfect for the ending of your story. You can also find it on YouTube when it was sung at the Eurovison song contest

OMG Connor! So many questions and mistakes made!!! Soren you poor bastard...

Well .. my first reaction was " What the actual Fu*k!". Followed by a rereading, I think others have said it, Mark is not gone, merely in the process of becoming untwisted, and will be reconstituted into 2 beings, but sharing the same consciousness. What a devious little igelchen you are sweetie liebling, looking so cute and harmless... yet full of sharp surprises (a compliment to be sure 🤔 😅 🙂)

I'll just quote this and explain why starting here is a disservice to the author and the saga.. Granger had been enjoying the Lakes, spending time meeting the tenants he had inherited from his aunt, Lady Kendal, and making sure his estates were being managed to his satisfaction. He’d found, to his pleasant surprise, that they were indeed in good shape, and that had allowed him to spend more time familiarizing himself with the beautiful countryside. Lady Kendal had left her house on Lake Windermere to Granger’s middle brother, Bertie, but since Bertie was in India, Granger opted to make use of it. It had been a good decision, because he had been able to reassure the staff that their jobs were secure, and set up arrangements to ensure they were paid. From previous stories, this reminds us of the most snarkiest of Aunts, a brother who was dealing in Drugs, a shipwreck with cannibals and sharks, death. Also a long lost grandfather and underhanded family shenanigans that involved the king's interests! Oh, and lets us not forget the near Hanging, the baths and of the infamous Duke of Clarance.. I think you will love it and be as captivated as the rest of us. Xx

All his Britannic Majesty officers would have attempted to escape as a matter of course unless they had sworn an oath not to.

I suspect that his Majesty will embellish the story no end leading to much embarrassment to George. Luckily for Calvert that his reputation will be enhanced by his telling of his escape directly to the Royal family. Perhaps even a knighthood!?

Tallyrand will want a full price for helping Calvert and a surcharge for the inconvenience! Caroline has not yet had absolution for her misdeeds and she is still untrustworthy - viper that she is. Pleased to see that George looked out for Berties Windermere staff, a minor detail that reinforces his honour

I feel the I have been set up with a Pavlovian response to this story! Chapters on the 19th, 21st, 24th, 29th and 31st....then nothing for 6 days!!!! Reminded of Oliver Twist, please sir, may I have more

Of course you can sweetie, it what we all thrive on!

"I was soothed by the crackling of the fire, calmed by the subtle creaking of the tree, and enthralled by a distant melody that seemed to be sung by the wind itself. This was a symphony of nature, a song of the earth that resonated deep within my soul." I am in awe of this writing, so few words yet so evocative . I was wondering if "Ancient" was based upon Finnish, just by the spelling. Awesome story!

I love the way Greys wolf speaks to him, a sparseness that is real to me. My family's heritage is Polynesian / Finnish, I am the white one in my family yet we all look the same. Makes interesting conversations with strangers 🤔 😕 🙂

It's a grey overcast dawn here in Sydney, and I have read this chapter twice, my comment " holyfuckamoly!!" Bring it on mister! 👌 👏 😍 👍

Agree with everyone that has commented, love the smell of a smirk especially!

Your scene setting had me thinking of the TV show "Grimm" and then it appears that part of the USA was the very setting!. I found you via a forum and I am liking what you have produced, Greys head space is something that I think I have experienced ... including the concussion! Thanks for the captivating beginning

I am writing from Australia and I am very concious of USA bias in stories that I read, like TV shows that overwhelming appear more than local content. I aim to have universal language and if not then appropriate explanation as a part of the conversation.

It was an amazing interesting story using language that at times I barely understood. An insight into a different culture and growing up perspective. It was not the wolf shifters that had me confused, but the Detroit speech patterns and the notes at each chapter were most welcome! The heros both had me happy, annoyed and I wanted to take the dad out to the forest and leave him there. I loved the different religions and acceptance of the families, seemed it was the Christians who struggled with love ( well played!).
