Same wanted the shelter to be shut down so he could get the inheritance money. But the hurricane is messing things up. Regular law enforcement pracics cannot be folllowed. The good guys need to get to safety and the two bad guys need to be rounded up when possible. I expect the dangers from the huge weather rain and high winds the hurricane will drastically change things.Flooding and tree uptooting and buildings being destroyed might change things in unexpected ways and kill people. Micco will be trying the protect the animals.

Maurice Jones-Drew was an All American Running Back at UCLA. He is an African American who in college measured 5'7" and 200 lbs. He was a high draft pick in 2005 and joined the NFL. Zack should be so fortunate as Jones-Drew. He needs to not be charged as a killer to keep his football career safe.

I am looking forward to your Jackie solution. I thought Hudson would disappear him into protective custody and he would seem to the boss as if he ran away. It might cause the boss to need Hudson even more to set up the new club. Instead, maybe Hudson has found something on Jackie that he does not want the boss to know and both guys need to say quiet to suvive. But--no spoilers so I will await your solution in the next chapter.

Except for Harry talking with Michael and Charlie,you are tying most things together wonderfully. Brad and Charlie strenthened their relationship sexually. They seem so committed. The actions leading up the musical built up and extended the true holiday spirit. People in need were supported. So many people stepped up to help in the ways they could. The Christmas musical was delightful and very entertaining. Stacy as Daisy Chain acting like Mae West sounded so encouraging and happy. You wanted to be there. The acts charmed the crowd . I was impressed by Michael who should be a winner when he goes to college. You left us with good feelings and high hopes for all. This happy chapter is a fitting tribute to Carlos. He loved life and his characters conveyed his love and your characters do also. Thank you for this holiday treat. Happy New Year!

A magical story uniting three men in love . A dead man's messages and hopes are fulfilled and two men connect.What a sweet HEA tale. This is a wonderful message to begin 2024!

Perfect-the love abounds and extends with all from Elijah onwards. The twins are going to find meaning in their lives with their mates , family and a career as a doctor. I like knowing that Elijah and Tyler realize Kage is with them, protecting them. BTW--I can see the Brazil vacation as a possible theme of a new story ???

The two are becoming very much in tune with each other. Colin is learning more about gay life, asking questions and expressing interest in trying some new things. I like knowing they had sex in some form at the club and in all its glory in their bed at the hotel and they kissed easily. Open communication and good sex are great, healthy parts of a strong relationship

I am very impressed by the tension and fear created by the dead storm You can feel it and realize how it is terrorizing individals. Bad choices have led to bad results. Adga admired the slave Tur and was perplexed by his view about life and what matters. He is a true gladiator. Adga still is saddened by her aquiring slaves and dwelling on her mistakes. She is young and really new to her station. I am sure she will mature with more experiences. The images reported by the slaves who sat on the chair are vivid and otherworldly scary and sometimes too realistic . They maybe views from the fall of the Sand Dragon kingdom or the dragon wars. Why are they still sensed now? You can also be charmed by the crazy enthusiasm of Tez and Nuk. They are fearless. The sand table map that was created by them enduring the pain from the chair looks very promising and useful. Adga has to see the suggested map again. The two young nobles are going to be tested once more. But the chapter ends with a cry about another room. Is another crisis beginning that has to be faced right now?

So the pack is cursed and Grey is separate from it due to the intervention of Beatrice. Grey is abused by his dad. Hated by his younger brother and is disked by his mother.

What is really going on in his pack ?What causes him to flee ? We know later he has fled his pack. Will he be hunted down in the town he sought refuge in and killed?

What a fascinating story. I hope Axel and Jeha meet again--soon

Thev boys both have good, accepting parents and are happy they found each other. Not many boys are in such a healthy situation. The parents will fumble forward and learn as they deal with their boys are they grow and experiment. Noah is learning his parents are going to be alright and not hostile to him being gay, like his older brother. Noah nodded, “It’s just my Grandmother has strong views.” “Yeah, so your Mum mentioned. Good job that your Mum and Dad feel the same way as Gordon and me, so no sweat there.” Happy New Year and thanks again for a great story !

Daddydavek--I agree that Mark Arbour could easily be designing a surprise with an unexpected killer not yet seen as a candidate. If this happens, then I expect there will be a reason that is convincing when more information is revealed. We will find out next chapter who Zach believes is the killer and why. Is it Taylor or Big or ??? But, Zach has said he is being railroaded by the real killer. Let us hear how he answers the question Travis asked him . Who is the killer? Can Zach make the case for who he thinks or knows killed Curtis? Was it a conspiracy with more then one killer involved? Zach needs to meet with his lawyer ASAP. She can be asked to come to Brad's home. It is time for a Perry Mason moment. Perry often told his client to see the police and he would go with the client.

Travis was interviewd by the LAPD and released, not considered a suspect, Zach is now the number one suspect and has run away with no one knowing where he is. Brad is sure Zach will reach out to will for help. Travis is upset and lealous of Zach. He is worried he could lose Will to Zach Will tells Travis he is wrong. He love him and not Zach.Will states why he cannot love Zach anymore. “I can,” I confirmed, then explained. “He crossed a line. I’ve gotten to the point with him where I can be his friend, even his confidante, but I could never be that intimate with him again.” Brad and Jake have talked.Jake will return the next day after a work project. Brad had the name and contact info for a lawyer for Zach. They both think Zach has to turn himself in to the police with his lawyer. Will sees the logc in this plan. Zach has a life and goal and does not want to hide overseas and give up. Eventually Zach texts Will and both Will and Travis go to pick him up and hide him in Darius' home. In the truck Zach says he did not kill Curtis but is being setup by the person who did it. When Zach settles into the home of Darius, Travis right off asks the key question.“I want to know who killed Curtis Buck,” Travis demanded, staring boldly at Zach. Is Zach telling the truth and is not the killer? How has someone set Zach up? Who has a motive to make him the scapegoat?A new person named as the real killer could really upset Travis. I bet the killer is either Taylor or Big. Unless, Zach has factual proof. He is in deep kimchi as they say. Happy New Year! Thanks for continuing this great story and making it very compelling.

Thank you for the update and plan. I hope things work out as you hope. Both stories are fascinating and compelling with plenty of opportunities for exciting plot twists . I have dreamed that eventually Xavier and Kandric could meet and jointly fight Frexla in the spirit realm. But,right now they are far apart by land and do not know of each other's existence. Roland is performing a great service by taking Sands to new directions as the Seandrans adapt and follow their dream and Xavier. They are fierce, unexpectedly powerful warriors. What is available in the City of Lucas the Lost could be a game changer for them I also hope Kyle can devote his creative attention to a new chapter of Kandric. After killing their queen, the hidden green dragons must be seeking to end his life using tricks and subterfuge to catch him unaware.

Grey is fitting in. He is very open, maybe too open, and his manner is welcoming and upbeat. He has been lucky to land at a friendly place with good hearted people--Dave and Clara. He now has a place to stay.They will be surprised by him by more than his ability to smell, I expect, Grey is needed to help the B&B operate and starts on menial tasks without complaint. He could be a good bouncer for the bar, if needed.

Having just finished reading Elemental by WolfM, I am looking to find out Greg 's werewolf nature and abilities and needs and how he will do without a pack to support him so he does not go rogue. I know you will set the terms you consider best and will have your own creative voice. Good Luck in 2024.

Wonderfully, the surprise was kept to the very end from Charlie and Michael. Remarkable. Love the sheet device which was new to me. They all joined in and made it a happy communal celebration. Hearing Stacy with wig and Michael sing " You are the One I Want " had to be so joyous Thank you for ending 2023 on such a happy note. 2024 promises to be even more memorable for all.

They both are educating and helping each other learn new things. Colin is opening up slowly and Owain understands he needs to evolve. But, thyey have both things to teach each other. I like how Colin studies a menu and asks questions before deciding. I am like Owain I find something I want quickly and eat it. They are in a great mood. The evening promises to be delightful. They can roll wth any punches and surprises, I bet. What a convivial and pleasing way to start the new year! Thank you.

The chapter ends--- "Mablin looked at Xavier, whose jaw was slack, and who was staring at Olpha. Before he could say anything, Olpha fixed Xavier with her eyes and softly challenged him. “Tell me if I am wrong.” They held eye contact for a few seconds before he blinked, then slowly looked to the ground, then raised his eyes to meet Mablin’s “I can not.” he said simply. “So what do we do now?” Gradon asked into the silence that followed." I suggest the the caravan will split up. The Seandrans will stand out sorely in Silverton.Mablin and his people wll go onto Silverton to sell the dragon. The Seandrans will at some point leave Mablin and folow a path he tells the to follow to Lucas the Lost. Mablin can identify a stopping point for them to make a fortified camp and wait for Mablin to find them after he sells the dragon. If Jameson and his men reach the caravan before the Seandrans leave the caravan, he will face resistance and trouble getting the dragon. Jameson will have an easier time demanding and buying the dragon for a low price, if Mablin is not backed up by the Seandrans. Things are going to get messy. I

What an interesting start of a story with possibilities for development. Grey, a werewolf, has run away from his rural pack and just arrived in a city that maybe Bend, Oregon. He is looking for a place to stay in the city. He has run into some rough people at a Bed and Breakfast just as he arrived and been assaulted by surprise and knocked out. Luckily he was picked up and helped by a staff member Dave, who is the brother of the owner. Greg is given a room to sleep and to recover. Greg is attracted to Dave. The owner is very concerned by the men who are causing trouble. She does not know what to do. Greg who is so far unemployed might make a good B&B worker with the superior strength to stop any trouble by the men who are bothering the owner. He could be the answer to the owner's people problems. I am very interested to what happens in the next chapter.

BTW--I see this story is marked " Temporary Hold." Are you considering restarting Tuct Side with an outline? At the end of the last Tuct Side chapter you wrote-- "Many more problems arose and all because I didn’t have that handy thing called an outline. This story will be discontinued for a while, but that’s where the good news comes in: I haven’t completely given up on this tale. This version cannot go on for the sake of my own sanity, BUT once I finish Canaan Club and a couple of other WIPs, I’ll be sure to start this story over again with an actual outline on hand instead of going off feelings." Good Luck ?

The Alphar live in the Deathland Mountains. The Iron Fortress, I think, was near Slome.
