I think this was an incredibly astute observation about Granger's development from a boy into a man.

Don't think anything of the empty review. It was funny. I'm glad you enjoyed the story, but you're right, a sword fight with Caroline and Davina isn't in the cards. I'm not even seeing a "Dynasty-like" battle in the fountains. :-)

I'm glad you liked it. It's not easy to tie up all of George's loose ends, so I tried to settle for most of them.

Thanks! I hope to get the next story out before too long, but I want to relax for a bit and pause.

Wow. Thanks for that! I'm so glad that you do read, and that you give me feedback! Spring Break is coming, so maybe I can find some time to get the next story going then. :-)

I'm so glad you do, mm!

Thanks for the excellent feedback! It's been great throughout this story! I know there are a lot of questions that have been left unanswered, but I'm hoping you see that as my pledge to keep going, rather than a detriment. Granger's life has become very complex, and it's unlikely that we'll have wonderful wrap-ups like we did before.

I think that sums it up nicely.

That's it. Who is this guy?

Being a little lazy Jeremy. ;-)

There will be another book, when I have time to work on it.

Well, since I haven't started writing the next story, it will be a bit, but it will happen.

No early deaths for George planned at this point. I'm glad you liked the story!

I can't see the picture.

Alright, this is unusual, because you've been nailing these guys spot on, but this one doesn't work for me. I'm thinking darker hair, a longer face, and smoother skin.

That's exactly how Wade is, in that he has to know the guy before the rear entrance is an option. I can see him hooking up with lots of guys to blow them, but the big penetration thing isn't happening for him unless he likes the guy, and knows him reasonably well. We don't know Josh well enough to know if he's like that or not.

I would suspect that the trust would ultimately be divided equally between the three siblings, but we shall see. You're right; we may have to entertain Beau to a Stanford hockey game. As for the "one special guy", that almost suggests a 'wait until we're married' approach for gay men. I'm not sure how realistic that is, especially since I've sort of addressed that kind of guy with Father Tim. Now, it's entirely possible that Josh won't be slutty, but I don't see him as virginal, or as staying that way. Whether he's with Wade, or someone else, he's probably about 20. He'll be with someone.

March 21, 1797 “I will be at Brentwood,” Granger told Cheevers as he mounted his horse. “Yes, Sir George,” Cheevers said. “I will forward any messengers or correspondence to you there.” “Thank you, Cheevers,” Granger said politely. “Are you ready, my lord?” “Lead off, Sir George,” Chartley answered with a smile. They’d had an athletic night last night, an evening of wild, passionate sex, so much that Granger forced himself to

Why thank you. This was a fun chapter to write. :-)

Thanks. That's some serious coin you tossed my way. I find that I'm happier if I largely stay out of the SoapBox (and avoid noxious news programs like MSNBC and FOX), so hopefully you'll experience something similar and hang out in the other parts of GA.

It's really amazing what people will do for money. I suspect you're right about Elizabeth paying for the land. She'll make the deal work for the investors even though she's been "fired", although one has to wonder how that will really manifest itself. I agree, and I think the key word you mention here is balance. Carullo is one of those honorable guys; hard not to love him. Thank you so very much. It's not always easy to keep up the pace, and it's been a challenge lately as I've let one story or the other consume me, but it is fun, and when I get comments like this, it's very satisfying. Unlikely he'd go for a divorce, especially right now, before the election. I don't see her making up for her damage (I'm betting the scope of that project would be too big anyway) or exiting anytime soon.

Bad news for you...we're heading in to a Will interlude next.

Wow. Thanks. I think what makes Wade so good at this is his meticulous planning, and what makes him so likeable is his willingness to forgive those who ask him to.

I don't think we give him enough credit (the Senator) for his courage in doing that.

Thanks Tim! I agree with you on Josh, and his more 'ordinary' approach to discovering his sexuality. When I think of Elizabeth Danfield, I channel the divas from the 80s dramas, specifically Joan Collins (Dynasty) and Jane Wyman (Falcon Crest). Shakespeare is too sophisticated for me. ;-)
