Welcome, Joe, to, IMHO, the best location for an author to showcase his work, enjoy the works of some incredible authors, and learn from others. All while having fun in the forums!! I'm eager to read your work, as I've not seen it elsewhere, though now I'll be SEARCHING other sites. Do you use the same nom de plume elsewhere?

For the first time ever, I've made an edit to a fact in a story. Prior to this edit, I had them going to a hospital I pulled from memory, but it is NOT the nearest one, so I changed "Presbyterian" to "UMPC". MINOR, I know, but I REFUSE to retcon without my readers knowing what I've changed, and why.

ROFL!!! WTF? George is described as a mid 20s Mediterranean dude. I imagine him as Leo DiCaprio in Titanic... with a goatee.

After Chris left to discuss things with Captain Pierce, Josh stepped over and stood stiffly in front of my desk. When I looked at him and nodded, he said, “I know we can’t discuss this, and right now, I’m not going to be able to focus.” “We understand the potential issues, Warden. Consider yourself on personal leave of absence until you feel you are prepared to return to your duties. Do you have someone we can rely on in your absence?” Josh stood a bit straighter and replied, “On the i

I was especially proud of this one. I imagine most of you reacting like Greg. "Are you KIDDING ME!!!?" and I'm quietly in the corner laughing!

This chapter in particular, has opened a debate that I'd like to pull my readers into. I try to translate by using context, a reply that infers the translation. I've been told that I should use (translation) rather than do as I've done. I feel that pulls the reader out of the 'world', if only for a moment. Did you follow the story? Did the Romanian confuse/frustrate you? Do you WANT the (translation) used? It's also been suggested to post a list at the end of the chapter, with each translation so the reader can scroll down if needed, keep reading if not. What do YOU think??? I'm writing for YOU, I'm a comment/feedback junkie!!! FEED ME!!!

You're just now realizing this? We've known it forever!!! <hugs> -
Call me pedantic if you want, but he's not discovering the limits on the power of a Baron; he's discovering the limits he's placing on himself as a Baron. As he himself said, he COULD do it, but he refuses to be THAT kind of Baron.

Edit: Inserted a missing 'your' in the hot tub scene.

Everyone laughed, and when Alex lifted his arm to sniff his armpit, Chris, Jonesy, and Tony leaned in and sniffed too. Alex pushed them away. "I shower! Sometimes twice a day, thank you. Mother even says I'm too fastidious; that's why people think I'm gay." When Joe had recovered from his laughter, he said, "I didn't mean you have body odor, goofball. I mean, sorcerers have a distinct smell. It's probably because your blood—like that of dragons and shifters—is unhealthy for us." My hea

OKAY, HUSH!! I'm TRYING to finish ANOTHER surprise by midnight EST(US). I'm afraid it's going to FEEL forced, but hey, I'm writing at least. TBH, for months, every time I tried to write, it felt like WORK, and I resented it. I'm working 70+ hrs a week, but these ideas just "hit me", so I did this chapter and the next. I have some ideas, but no clue when I'll find the time to chase them. You've all been WONDERFUL with your patience and concern, and I'm touched. Now, back to the grindstone!!!

Wouldn't that be 'Me four'? Asking for a friend, actually, four of them.

Edited out a small restating of prior dialog. You KNOW I'll never make changes to the story!!!

As I drifted awake, I pulled Scott close and gently kissed his neck. He, in turn, pulled Billy close and did the same. Just as things began to warm up, Billy sat up and pulled his knees to his chest, wrapping his arms around his legs. Scott turned to me and nodded his head in Billy’s direction with a questioning expression. I looked at Billy and thought about the events of the previous night, trying to put myself in his place. “Do you want to talk about it?” I asked. Billy looked at us

Or not, and he's just a tease to confuse you. Depends on work, my moods, and other timey-wimey stuff that I can't go into right now. Starting to sound like penny porn, ain't it? Sliced bread's pretty cool... Obviously, a woodchuck can chuck as much as a woodchuck can chuck unless squirrel! See above!

When we walked inside, Josh, Jake, and Chris were on the sofa, while Brian and Jenny shared the loveseat. Standing in the living room were James, Donna, Tommy, Leonard, and Riva, all waiting for our arrival. As soon as Johnny closed the door behind us, they each looked at Alex, then at me, obviously waiting for an explanation. Rather than explain, I turned to Alex and said, “I’ll need you to make your oath official; are you ready to become my Chief Arcanist in training? Court Sorcerer’s Apprenti

The farther ahead you try to look, the fuzzier it gets due to the many possible timelines.

Not in the original at all. You're not senile. Well...

We parked the Denali in the garage of the house I’d known as home for most of my life while the other two vehicles unloaded at James and Donna’s house. The events of the past few months had distracted me, and it wasn’t until we walked into the basement that I remembered; I had instructed David to have crews remodel for me. The room that used to house my weight set was now a family room, the storage room was now a bedroom, and the bathroom had been enlarged a bit with entrances from the bedroom a
