Well, damn, does any person in this story have anything resembling a normal life? I do think the writing has been really done and but the plot is a little hard to follow...

Sorry, not sure why the spoiler tab keeps popping up... I did find this chapter easier to read, the pacing and writing were both good. I am having a hard time staying with a story that is just so constantly downbeat though. I don't mind drama but there is a level of depression that you seem to be going for that I just don't understand; of course, I am not writing it so maybe no one but you is really suppose to understand it...

I can say that I have never read one of your stories before; and while I will finish this one, I doubt I will ever read one again. I can't remember the last time I read something that just seemed to go from tragedy to tragedy; and I am a drama queen from way back...

I think you seriously need to get on some type of medication...

OMG, Erik may be the most tragic figure ever... What else could happen to that child.

Okay, I feel like I am dealing with a story in a non linear time frame that has been turned back on itself... I am having a really hard time telling the time frame of some of the chapters. Still enjoying it though...

Obviously Barry and Clarence are not only not harmless but maybe worse than Dave ever considered being. I feel dirty...

I don't even know where to start.... Really well done chapter, but could that child go through anything else...

I don't know why but about how way through this chapter I had the strangest feeling that I needed to go back and read Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City...

Well, one problem solved or maybe even two but a new one on the horizon. I have to admit that I wonder what the deal with Jerry is? Could the wife be deceased? Could the spouse be a man? Inquiring minds want to know...

Well, that got dark real quick. I have to admit stopping someone from sleeping with someone doesn't seem like grounds for burning a house down...

I really enjoyed this chapter, it just flowed so seamlessly. I can't wait to see what happens next...

Well, I do like the story but can't say it is any clearer... The writing is crisp and the pacing has been much better the last couple of chapters.

I can't tell what the deal is with Dr. Adams, is she friendly toward Geoff or really how to watch him? I am so confused...

A truly interesting start to this story. I can't really tell how I feel about it yet; part of it was puzzling and the pacing did bother me some, but the plot seems to have a lot of promise.

Loved everything about this; so glad that James grew up and turned into a really first rate human being. Happy for the happy couple in Boston as well, defending your dissertation is never a fun or enjoyable thing...

So glad that Rebecca came with Skold, I know it might not help but just think they should all be together. I wonder what Skold got that makes him so confident...

I just wanted to touch base and let everyone know that I had a short conversation with Mark. He is doing much better health wise but is just really busy. He got pulled into a really big project this summer that is taking a lot of his time. He does want everyone to know that he does have a couple of chapter completed but is waiting to start posting until he can do so on a regular basis. He seems to be worried that this start and stop posting is bothering some. Reading between the lines of what was said; I would expect him to start posting toward the end of summer or the first of the fall. Can't be certain because he really did not say; but he does have a few chapters ready to go when he can get back on a regular schedule... I am going to post this in a couple of different places so you may see it again depending on where all you read... Thanks, David F.

No, I am not happy but only because I will miss this part of the story. I really feel that you have given Chris and us a gift in how he changed and we got to view this change and experience it with him. I feel this really enhanced the first book in some ways and can't wait to see what you do for the next one. The writing and pacing was excellent throughout this story; and I know that it was harder because this style of story is harder to write and to keep it flowing properly. Great Job...

Really well done from start to finish with the writing and pacing; and yes, even the sex scene was hot hot hot... I do like how Raymond and Daniel relate to and interact with each other; even though they are obviously horny for each other, they treat each other as adults and that is reflected so well in the story. One small grip, you indicated that the Sheriff drove into the ranch in his personal pickup but then he went to the squad car to get his overnight bag. I know it is hard to keep continuity but anything like that just seems to jar me out of the story for a moment... Not life or death or even that major; just more of an F.Y.I...

The scene with Rebecca and Twig was so well written. And it explained a lot of why Rebecca has some of the quirks that she has now. Great chapter; can't wait to see what happens next. I hope Rebecca goes with Skold to see the King...

I am sorry; I would not be appearing in any court fey or otherwise... Skold has earned a hero welcome; not having to fight some trumped up accusation by a demented so called King...

So very good as usual, I really think this just keeps getting better and better. The writing and pacing has been good throughout but I do think has been sharper the last couple of chapters. Even in a very liberal state like Hawaii, it is still very hard for gay parents to foster or adopt a child. For it to have moved that fast, the Uncle Darius must have the Governor on speed dial...
