Thanks so much @Cane23. I don't know if I ever told you but somebody did actually edit the whole thing for me. They went back and just pulled the pieces for me off of the site and edited at their pleasure LOL I guess some of my sentences and things just irritated them but I agree with most of the grammar if not the character edits. I just have to go through them and finalize it. I've been sick for a few months so I would feel better that something posted and then fall back to little bits and snotty pieces again. Still sick but trying to move forward! Thanks for the support as always!

Thanks that one is on hold for a bit because I have so many to finish and I just got behind. Illness and holidays are not a good combination. The end of the year just came up on me too hard. But trying to get through everything that I have up in the air this year

Thanks so much for the feedback! I got the notifications that you were whipping through it. I was curious what you'd think. Thanks so much for letting me know you enjoyed it! I'm trying to finish Studs and Spurs which is also light.

Chapter 12 is the coffeehouse date and 13 is where the spice starts. You're almost there. It's not a straight a to Z romance.. Most of my repeat readers know how I roll by now

LOL yeah it's a long one. It wasn't better red when I posted it at the time. Someone has since been so for me but I haven't gone through all of the edits yet so I haven't reposted it. It's definitely a heavier story then most of my others. It will pick up I think it's around chapter 12 or 13. I don't know I think 14 is definitely a smutty chapter. There's a couple that are just pierce my but there's a lot of character and detail work because this is the first novel in the series. The finding Home Series which is going to be a lot of interconnected stories involving the characters that appear in Halos and heroes. So there's just a lot of ground work laid out. Tara will have her own story. Max and Roman will have their own story. Even andrew Whelan listed detective will have his own story. So there's a lot of stuff going on in the future. Just keep plugging away at it. Step away when you need to and get to the end. I promise that most people think it's worth it!

I am curious about that as well. I also find that with albums if you delete a photo it doesn't give you that space back. So many times I have had to completely delete an album to then add pictures back or to change a photo . It'll say that there's 20 out of whatever photos but there's only five in the album because I deleted or changed or whatever. So that I would like to be figured out maybe and also maybe have more than the number of albums we currently are allowed simply because I use it as a way to track my characters in the stories but I find that I have to truncate at times.

@Cane23 lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel the judgement from here!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yesssssss! Oh that's good. I wasn't sure about having to go soon earlier but when you suggested it it just ended up writing itself in a way that made more sense. Simpler for me too because it was a lot less breaking my brain with police procedural . So I needed less of those details and just want the twistedness between the two of them lol. And yes she's so angry because he played her game but he leveled up. For the first part of the chapter she was winning and even when he got a little ahead of her , she always attacked harder and was pulling him deeper down into the deep end. Like you said the irony is that she's telling him to embrace who he is and the moment that he does she doesn't like it. He literally is talking to ghosts and exposing who he is and she is still angry . Because it didn't happen the way that she wanted. Because as you said, she wanted him to touch her. At this point she has nothing to lose and she understands that. Manipulating him into revealing everything that he is is the last game that you can play. Annnnnnnnd..... I love my readers lOL I love you all because you either pick up on things that I miss , or you give me even more ideas. Or you guys are just really been picking up those details before I have elaborated on them . So Bravo to you and all of you . This is why I feed back is so important to authors. Yes, she did slap him bare-handed so what is he going to feel especially when she's in this rage? Get prepared for a little bit more crazy right now everything is just kind of swirling around but Sean is watching . So is everyone else and the s*** just hit the fan . Can you imagine if you were watching this unfold? They're all people of logic and Science and psychology. I don't know if those are going to fly! Thank you so much as always for commenting and for making my heart giggle . You and @Cane23 always seem to pick up those details.

@Cane23 @Cane23 Merry Christmas! I'm happy I got it it finished before. Maybe it will be done by new year's eve lol. This was a long brain-hurting chapter. Thank you for taking the time to get through it . I really appreciate it. He definitely should and he will. It's going to be a wild ride up to the last word of the next chapter which will be shorter (thank the Lord!) and then the last chapter and epilogue. Whew! Lots of mysteries solved, relationships betrayed, psychotic broken people and children, ghosts and just a shit show. Strap in and enjoy the rise!

UNDER the watchful eye of the government, the Federal Medical Center, Carswell, a US federal prison located in Fort Worth, Texas on the northeast corner of the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth, housed inmates who were incarcerated at various security levels.

Thank you Myr. You are always so helpful. Appreciate the hard work you and the others in charge do

I have enjoyed this past year despite some life hiccups to have made it so I will not be completing all of my stories this year unfortunately. C'est la vie. There's always next year. As both an author and a reader I am overall happy with the way that the site is. I do look forward to a full-on dark mode though because that will make it much easier. I use a large font because I am blind but I'm glad that others like @Cane23 get benefit out of it as well LOL. I'm sure that there is a way but I always find the website a little bit difficult to navigate and that's just because I'm Tech stupid , but when I save my to be read pile I wish there was a way to distinguish into categories. Because I can't always tell by the title what genre falls into but that's just me. I agree with @Cane23 that strong synopsis are important. So are reviews, no matter how shott. They help get new readers more traction feedback is also key. There are so many readers that are kind enough to leave a like but when you get no feedback verbally, sometimes you don't really know where to go if you're looking for it , in terms of moving the story along. Many times I already have my story pre-planned out, but sometimes readers will say something and it will just kick off a new idea that I didn't even know I had in there. So I would encourage readers to support your authors. Follow their stories, follow them if you are constantly going back to their stories anyway, and just show the support even through a wave. As authors we appreciate it because we know that you're taking the time to actually pausing your day and let us know your thoughts. Thanks and happy holidays y'all.

Okay I definitely need to figure out how to make the screen black. I use a big front because I can't see @Cane23lol but I'm so glad that others benefit from it.

I try not to do tropes. They definitely are very hot-blooded alpha male types. And they will stay that way for a bit longer than I'd like. I really do appreciate that you notice I try to stay away from tropes and stereotypes! For this particular story they're kind of going to stay in the general vicinity of alpha a holes, and then of course they'll be a switch but it won't be noticeable at first. Price... I'm kind of setting him up to be an obvious problem.. So will he or won't he be one? O.o...lol Alexis definitely has aces up her sleeve. I think some people will be surprised by some of the things that she does and some people will not be surprised at all. There is going to be a twist as for the bureau. Possibly a double twist if I can work it out correctly in my head. I've never written psychological thrillers though I read them all the time. I'm always so wary of getting details wrong. I used to watch and read a lot of True Crime. When I see weak police procedurals on TV I notice a lot of the mistakes and I don't want to be that person. So I struggle a little bit with this but I think I figured out a way that there will be twists without me having to suspend belief too much. Alexis is the white whale. She is brilliant and they can't trip her up per se. Not deliberately. But Griffin is as much her achilles heel as she is his so that will show a little later. Definitely Alexis just wants something from him which you already made clear that she wanted him there. Why does she want him there. She's already torturing him. He lost his job. He lost all credibility. His name is going to be linked with hers possibly forever and infamy. Even though he may be able to prove that he had nothing to do with it, there's always going to be people that don't believe it. Conspiracy theorists abound in all aspects of life so what could she possibly want from him? He's gay. So it's not a romantic love? Right? What could she possibly want to gain from him .. And yes ghost will appear but there's just so many balls in the air that I didn't want to split the focus too much. So there was mention that he saw ghost coming in but now he's kind of focused on what's going on . Because he's a medium his interactions with ghosts or going to be more intense than just seeing them. And his abilities to touch objects and feel and kind of read people's minds obviously but that type of psychic ability comes at a true cost which is why he's always saying that he needs a drinkers he would prefer to be stoned Etc. So we will see ghosts later but it's going to be kind of towards the end. I haven't quite figured it out because I haven't set up the groundwork completely for it to a degree that I would be satisfied with in a normal length Story come up with this is supposed to be a short story even though of course it's turned out much longer than I expected originally. But I don't have 30 chapters to kind of build up all the pieces so I hate telling and not showing but I think some of it will have to be told in flashbacks or you know in his own mind kind of breaking things down so we'll see how it goes but there will be ghosts. There's going to be a very important twist with the ghostly community so that's coming but that will not happen next chapter into the very very end. And that's where I'll leave it because I don't want to give it away. But then the chapter after that is when all hell breaks loose.

I'm so glad you saw it now! I think there's a way for you to follow the story that way you'll be sent notifications when I post a chapters. I know I've been in frequent so that's what I tell readers when they message me letting me know that they've either miss a chapter or asking when I'm posting a new one. There is a lot of tension in the car LOL . Wait till the next chapter. You're going to see why I said that Griffin is not as nice as Spencer read lol. You did see some of it in the car. He has a mouth on him when he gets stressed out but Sean understands him. Originally the story was not supposed to be a romance in any respect. But as usual, the characters wrote themselves so I just go with it . It's not going to be a typical romance obviously , but there will be moments of confession and a sort of happiness is possible ending instead of an explicit happily ever after ending. Thanks for sticking with me!

Looking forward to your thoughts! I hope to have the next chapter finished withib the next week and a half (crossing fingers). It's mostly written but needs a lot of restructuring and cleaning up.

Thanks so much. He definitely does have some aspects of Spencer. He's not as nice as Spencer though LOL the mouth on him .. wait till you see the show down with Booker and Brady.. has a level of sass that Reed was never capable of except maybe in the last season when he was a little bit more damaged. And yes you like @Cane23, are right on the nose lol.. looking towards the future, that's all going to play a part in it. He doesn't want to touch her, afraid it will disrupt his life. Alexis however, is Alexis, and she WILL be pushing the issue . Stay tuned.

@Cane23 translator or not sir, you understand and see a whole lot more than you think you do lol. I know it was very wordy . I tend to switch off style on what I'm writing. I think that's why it's easier for me to write modern first person because I can do it without thinking where if I'm doing Gothic or historical romance or something like this which is a psychological Thriller, then it becomes not quite word salad but definitely more descriptive. I'm glad that you got through it. The next chapter is going to be more dialogue as Alexis and Griff square off. She's a piece of work LOL I have written a lot of the scene over multiple times. Originally I had one idea , but then it completely morphed into something else and even as I'm writing the chapters the characters sort of speak for me and yesterday I was walking around doing laundry and whole new park pop into my head so I hastily voice to texted it to the chapter and now I just have to go and clean it up. Alexis is definitely one to play games . Just bored indeed. Pricing garcia.. LOL you need to close your eyeballs and stop seeing to the Future. Maybe or maybe not .. when we do the fortune telling thing all sorts of stuff can happen lol Brady and Booker suck but they will be pivotal in what turns out to be a very intense chapter. I'm hoping that it won't be stupid long but I think it's going to be. I wanted to just be one chapter and not have to divide it into two because the second would have been short but we're going to have to see . I plan this particular chapter ending on a very oh my gosh note so it all depends on where the characters going to be and how wicked Alexis is going to be. Like I said I had plans it to be more of a chapter where there was a lot more investigation and Griff sort of saw through her nonsense because she slipped, but that didn't feel as authentic because this woman killed for years didn't slip and I want the fact that he wears the gloves and she said people to really become the factor that changes things but he's not going to do it willingly so he needs to get pushed and she's planning to do so with both hands . Stay tuned!

Four will be prepared but all she wants is Griffin.!! Hah

Thank you friend. Wait till the next one. I just posted it 2 days ago. It's pretty long and a lot more attention. He still hasn't reconnected with Alexis yet but that's coming in chapter 4 and that's going to be all sorts of twists and turns . I really appreciate you taking this one on. I know it's a darker theme. Definitely a psychological Thriller and that most people's cup of tea. Thank you so much.

GRIFFIN was surrounded by dead people. But unlike the handful of ghostly specters who were still decked out in the facility’s standard orange jumpsuits which were closer in color to the paler insides of a dehydrated tangerine, these victims were ones that every person in this room, not just Griffin, was bearing witness too. The extreme levels of violence that had taken each physical attribute of the human bodies on display that manifested 3D in life, were reduced to a 2D format in the enlar

I was a very clever use of the anthology theme. So simple and yet unexpected I'm relatable. I'm also creature of habit and I have such a mug collection LOL it drives my husband up a wall . I get them from thrift stores so I related to this and of course we have four cats lol. Well done.

Yay!!!!

I am glad that you enjoyed it. It was fun to write. I like the silly comedies and you can't go wrong with sexy uncles or the resident DILF lol. Thanks for commenting!!!

I am so sorry that I never saw this response. I wasn't alerted about it. Sometimes my notifications get funny . I am so sorry oh my gosh I'm so embarrassed that it's like almost a year later lOL especially because it was so thorough and well thought out and I really truly appreciate every single comment I get because I know that it means people are taking time out of their busy day to actually write it. And I really enjoy the ones that give feedback good bad indifferent. And again yours was so thorough. I'm glad that you enjoyed the story. I always aim for humor and vivid imagery when I'm writing comedy because I think if you can't see it in your head it's just not as funny. It's not just a words but what's going on in the scene so to speak. I too have been the aunt that the babies are dropped off on. And the friend. A friend of mine at one point had five Littles all under the age of six because two were twins and my goodness. Going over to her house it was just a matter of her opening the door and shoving either a baby into my arms or saying grab one lOL he was never boring that was for sure. Her husband wanted boys and they had had three girls and he kept insisting and trying again and she said no Factory is closed. He ignored her prayed for his boys and instead got the twin girls. I was also a kindergarten teacher and then a Pre-K teacher for a little bit after that , so I have all sorts of stories lol when I write things that come out of the kids' mouths in my stories it's usually based on reality lOL . Again I'm so sorry I didn't get your response but I am so glad that you enjoyed the story and I hope you check out other things so the only one that I have finished completely is Halos and heroes and the follow-up piece just found heaven. And Halos can't be tough for some people. It's a family drama so it has a lot of funny moments and you get to know the characters and those people seem to fall in love with them, but they also have some really hard moments because of the themes of former military and so there are some very difficult scenes but I always put disclaimer is on them, and I try not to be gratuitous with violence or mentions of it but it's that kind of story so sometimes it comes up. But if you ever are interested in checking it out please do. I would love to hear your thoughts . The follow-up is just found heaven which is over in it for you, their wedding day and it's told from the perspective of both the main characters as well as the other supporting characters in the story who will also have stories in that series. I started posting a few others but haven't gotten around to finishing them yet . I had Ms so I kind of work with my body cooperates. I am hoping , to have studs, spurs, and stuff a notice finished by the end of the year . As well as no such places Never Land but that one if you liked funny stories I would not recommend because most of my readers are not following that one. It's pretty dark. Thanks again.
