The cruise was good, but as I relayed recently to a good friend, there was an entirely different class of people on a 3-day cruise as opposed to 1-week cruise. It was disturbing that I found myself turning into JJ. I actually did encounter one of my favorite t-shirts though. The message said: "Surely not everyone was Kung Fu Fighting." 🤣

September 14, 2004 In the Air California Will “Breakfast is ready,” Celeste said in her calm, professional voice. She was the flight attendant for our trek to Boston today and was probably my least favorite of those who served that function on Stef’s planes. Her body was smoking hot, but her demeanor was very formal in a way that was polite but cold. There wasn’t a single part of her that emitted joy, not even the slightest b

Do you seriously think JJ would consider any of those names?🙄

September 13, 2004 Claremont, OH Jays I ignored the scenery as the limo whisked me towards downtown Claremont. I had no desire to look at this place that was nothing more than a backwater, a place I would much rather fly over than drive through. I sighed as I pondered that my heritage was much more tied up in this town than I had originally believed. If I gave a shit about Claremont, I would probably be happy that Jim Crampton was my father.

No, but it was still a global conflict. Check this out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_war. First time I’ve seen this page and it was pretty interesting.

It was not. It involved most of Europe and there was fighting in India and the Caribbean as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Years'_War

Actually, I think the 7 years war (or French and Indian war, as Americans know it) was the first world war.

You’re right. He was actually average height for that era. Stunning how that BS is still in the history factoid rumor mill.

I can totally see Bonaparte as a closet case. "I cannot get dick, SO I WILL CONQUER THE WORLD!"

October 10, 1801 #10 Downing Street London, England “As you can see, I could have easily stayed at Cowes for a few more days,” Granger said to Daventry in frustration, as the carriage stopped in front of the Prime Minister’s residence. He’d hurried back on the fifth, only to be left cooling his heels until today. That had angered him considerably, which was probably not the best way to start this meeting. “I cannot always divine the whims of

Thanks!!! Just what I need. Another series. 😀

Wow. Last time we talked you were still on the Gunroom. You are ripping through them. Thanks for your comments. I like this book too. It's on my list to re-edit at some point down the road.

What a beautiful post. Thanks for your comments on my character building. I sense that when you talk about Michael, you have a feeling of fond memories laced with sadness, but the memories are the stronger of those forces. 💕 I'm glad that the story could spark that in you. I count that as a major success.

I suspect that in the future I'll clarify it more. It definitely should read direct male descent.

So is @sat8997. 😀

Thank you so much!
-
Thank you! I think my writing improved as I wrote more books. My two favorite books in this saga are "HMS Belvidera" and "Odyssey". If you read them in order, it's probably better, but something to look forward too.

I don’t think Jack agreed to father a child with Jessica.

September 12, 2004 Escorial Palo Alto, CA Jays As soon as Will left the room, I started crying, not because I was sad that he was mad at me, but because I was furious that he’d assaulted me. Not only that, he’d hit me in the face, and while it hurt, I was more concerned about how I’d look. I’d probably have a black eye. I’d look ridiculous. My next engagement was on Tuesday: I’d show up and people would think I’d been mugged

Surely she’s burned through Brad’s money by now. 😃

Kris let us know that there were no heirs. The plague, other diseases, and constant wars make that very plausible

I read this, smiled, frowned, got sad, and ended up content. What a masterpiece.
-
Thank you so much! That means a lot coming from the author who crafted "Ceramic Dreams." That was great!

OK. I finally figured it out. I was looking at the wrong info. And we're back to that patience thing again. 😀 Sorry about that, Myr.
