As always the homage to Marcus' LOTR was another great shout out.
I am befuddled by anyone who doesn't take some interest in politics. But then again we are faced with the reality of November 8th...
I too look forward to the next book. Thanks for sharing!
Florida is an interesting and fun place....if you can take the heat and humidity. The tour of the Everglades sounds like something I might have to do. As far as concerts, this dude is too old to enjoy the noise and the crowds up close and personal. I now prefer more intimate venues with air conditioning!
Thanks for the early release and may we expect another one soon? Another good job and I hope anyone who hasn't read Love on the Rocks and the sequel by Marcus McNally will go to CRVBOY.ORG and read his story set down under.
The travel guide you provided has me wanting even more to visit the land of Oz and it was nice to vicariously do it through CJ and Owen. The scene with the two Brits was priceless and was between four testosterone filled youths in their teens to early twenties. I found it funny and I thought CJ 'handled' it well. The scene in the bar was very descriptive and fun. That CJ realized he needed to quit drinking before he lost control again showed he is growing and learned his prior lesson well. Good job and props to your editors too!
I recommend going to the "stories" tab at the top left of the page and then looking at the left column and selecting "favorites".
I personally recommend:
Circumnavigation
By C. James
Anything by Mark Arbour

The stories by Andrew Q. Gordon

An interesting beginning to CJ' s solo foray down under. The gun conversation seemed inevitable as Owen reflected what many of his countrymen think.
As aside, I was glad to see from your reply to a prior comment that you were OK and cleaning up debris.
CJ is back in D.C. and giving Eli a nice send off in a surprise ending to the chapter with some other surprises. I'm wondering if Bret' s residuals from his accident played some small part in his decision to leave active duty along with being a dad and starting to more actively manage his wealth?
Another chapter leaving me wanting more! Good job Carlos!
Others have mentioned it and it's true that your stories deal with men over thirty which is refreshing given the stereotype that gays are all about youth! On top of that, you tell a compelling story that has your readers invested in your characters and what happens to them. Well done and thanks for sharing!
An inspirational article in The Washington Post today:

It's truly amazing how selfless and honorable people can be and it serves to illuminate the crassness of the reality show mentality of today.
