The book was handed to Wylan by the Emperors envoy to the Crusaders host. He appeared suddenly in the corner of the tent, one wet night and left the gift. Gift or curse is yet to be decided

I so agree! The humour is amazing and well told

Can wonderboy go to New Zealand instead? They have surfing, all year skiing, hot springs, mad things like Bungee jumping and Zorb balls... Queenstown where I'm sure Stef has a bolt hole next to some middle eastern sheikh.???

Standing ovation @PrivateTim. Perfectly stated,

Ahh, no thank you, we here Don't need that level of narcissistic trouble. We are very egalitarian, so his flashiest self wont go down well. We do have people like that, but most, generally, will take the piss out of them ( our richest Billionaire has an awful portrait done for a competition, she tried to buy it and was refused. Went to hang in the national gallery. (Gina Rinehart)

You have encapsulated my thoughts exactly.

A ship, intrigue, spies, handsome men,resentment on board. How exciting 😀, will they be practising with Canon and muskets, one hopes!

@PrivateTim One of our National holidays will be this coming week, 25th April, ANZAC day, we have 2 remembrance days, the other one is the 11th November. Non USA readers may not know that your Memorial Day is for the same purpose, honouring those who over the centuries have given their lives for the safety of their countries and others. Their is a phrase used in these circumstances "Least We Forget "

I'm away for but a moment..90 notifications! My hope is for an exclusive contract with Mode. 1 photo shoot a year, Christmas edition. Takes Will off the market, Mode gets a boost, Jeremy gets credit with all. Jeremy is maturing nicely, considering he lost his mother, lies told to him about parentage, sexual assault, friend suicides, career lost, uncaring family. Undiagnosed mental illness. I too would move to the other side of the country to get space from a family that is so wrapped in their own narcissistic glory that a teenager is left to fail by those snide bitches living in California. Jeremy is a much better character than Will, the golden child of the series, forever Peter Pan. Thanks for drawing such marvellous characters @Mark Arbour

11.40 am Auckland! 1st!!

Wonderful Sunday surprise, Granger doesn't really understand what fantastic staff he has keeping apace with his movements. Winkler, you have been missed. Cardona has been lax with his security, but fair enough in his own home. He really didn't need to involve his father, he should have sent her away earlier, but she appears to be such a harridan that he was truly cowed. Im sure that Granger will add extra spice with his conversation with their Most Catholic Majesty's when the opportunity presents itself. Preferably sooner rather than later... ( looking with a hard Paddington Bear stare at you @Mark Arbour)

Marvellous work! Very..evocative!

@Mark Arbour? An update? Yet could not see any immediate cha6!@ sneaky!!

I'm thinking that this was written many years ago, the old Darlinghurst Police station is long gone, now wrapped as part of Surrey Hills police centre. Darling Harbour is now a construction site on one side as the hotel boom continues. I understand @Summerabbacat concern with the throw away comment, but I viewed it as nervousness in a new relationship when monogamy may have been implied rather than explicit. Strangely enough, Mardi Gras parade was on here only 2 days ago, didn't go as been many times, in it, watching it, singing onstage at the after party. ( cancelled budget constraints)

Field mouse is my absolute favourite. Oh Jack, right words even if they seem wrong at the time. Lovely interactions between the three. Thanks for the lovely story!

It's Sunday morning, and we're snerdling in bed while the clouds are scudding outside. @Mark Arbour, lovely chapter having both Stef and Jeremy on scene. ( some of you will be getting dictionaries out, but JP would understand).

2026 Winter Olympic Mishaps Ilia Malinin (USA) ergo.. Jeremy Schulter

It was lovely to be reminded of The Bey of Oran. Seems like a 100 years ago now. Ah, back in the old days...

Oh, I'm feeling a little faint and need to retire to the drawing rooom, yet again, I'm in total agreement with @PrivateTim. Hevens, where is that dratted fan. In all seriousness, please let this be the book that has Travis leave the righteous one so he (Will) can wear his moral indignation like a funeral shroud... while consolingly himself with a queue of studly replacements. Will needs a lesson in humility and to be spurned publicly. Over to his fan club...hahaha

Fascinating reading! Ive been a premium subscriber from when I discovered this site, so finding out there were ads was a surprise!. Like Jason, I too often wander through different stories based upon some other readers comments and down a rabbit hole I go. I also prefer completed stories, or regular chapters ( thank you Mark Arbour) as when you start an amazing piece of work that becomes long term hold to abandoned gives grief to both reader and author. As an older member, the survey was just a blip and happy to complete. I will be curious about what happens next, but will still follow trails left by others, especially the weekly genre news about everything. It made me read some poetry that I wouldn’t have otherwise. Thank you finally to Myr and the other administrators for all that you do bringing joy and excitement to us vis the penmanship of others.

Totally not what I was expecting. Wow, most amazing chapter but our trio ( perhaps they are a triptych?) Are literally not out of the woods yet..

Wonderful story, light and whimsical with a touch of terring-do. I too like the sound of number 1, but then as I read the list... also 2,3 and 5 (I don't need to be told I'm greedy, self evident)

Im visualising @PrivateTim reaction here. Blasting and hissing tirade about our dear Author and his ability to rankle him. So, the golden child has a gold pass for his escapades. Will not make him any more attractive to some of us. The HIV genetic explanation was impressively told, tying into Jacks death and sorting out Jessica's feelings. Fireworks from Travis to be sure..

I tripped on your story on my way to somewhere else. Fell face first into it. Soaking in the sheer vitality of your writing.. while a summer thunderstorm wrecks havoc outside. Perfection

I feel that the 7 days have past since the last posting...come on Baron! ( Wheres that Lady Whistledown when you need her..) hahaha, just kidding. Not..
