Hey Benji, It's always good to hear from you. I apologize for having taken me so long to reply to your review. Yes I assure that David did us 'yall'. I was just as surprised as everyone else. You're thoughts on Elder are partly correct. His failed attempts at breeding were due more to his history with Mr. Templeton than anything else. I did some research and found that some horses had difficulty breeding if they were abused in the past. The problems can also persist after the horse is rehabilitated. I've never gone into details in the story but Mr. Templeton first attempted to train/break Elder and his means were harsh. Horses are very intelligent and I tried to bring that out in writing Elder. I might have gone a little over board and humanized him a bit but I liked the results. I like to think that if it were all real he'd act the same way. I have to admit, even if it might be considered a spoiler, that you hit Mr. Templeton's personality on the head. I can't vouch for what Annie is up to but I hope that when it comes out folks won't be disappointed. I'm also glad that you liked the club scene. I have to admit that I agonized over that part. Just to clarify though the Club wasn't in the same town when Billy lives. I guess I didn't make it clear but it's actually a few towns away in a slightly larger area. I can't give much info on what Mr. and Mrs. Templeton know or don't know about the boys orientation/relationship. I really haven't put in much info on the crops or anything as i was worried about it detracting from the story. I can tell you though that, in the story, it's still too early for harvest. Hope you're doing well and I look forward to hearing from you again, best, Owl

Lisa! It's always good to see you. Sorry that I've taken so long in replying to your review. As I've said to a few others it's been weird the last few months. I am glad that you liked the club scene. II admit that it had me hung up for awhile. I liked what I did with Walker and Chris as well. I figured I've had them be so steady lately that it might be fun to trip them up. I'm glad that you liked the usage of Melinda. You don't hear it that often, which is why I used it. I loved writing the barn scene. Just being able to trip the boys up a bit was fun. I'm glad that no one is taking Mr. Templeton's niceness at face value. I love the suspense that it builds. I can't say what significance the storage barn will play in the future. I am glad that you've enjoyed the chapter and I look forward to hearing from you again. best, Owl P.S Dropbox is a cloud storage system that lets me work on documents from all my devices.

Hello Ninecila, good to meet you. I am glad that you have enjoyed the story. You're also very welcome. Best, Owl

Hello Wicked Witch. Good to meet you. I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to reply to your review. I am very glad that you found and have been enjoying Indiana Summer. I really love your theory on Mr. Templeton and Candice...I just wish that I could confirm or deny. I am sure we will find out one way or another soon though. I hope you continue reading and theorizing. best, Owl

Hello Matt G. It's good to meet you. First off I want to apologize for it having taken me so long to reply to your review. It was a rather difficult Summer I didn't have a lot of time. I am glad that you found and have enjoyed my story. My storyline and character development, along with my dialog, are things that I work very hard on. I hope you stick around and continue to enjoy my story. best, Owl

Hey ColumbusGuy, good to see you again. I'm really glad that you've been enjoying my stories. It's not a problem that you haven't reviewed all the chapter. I think for new readers that it's probably better that way with a story a this size. I'm glad you love the characters and enjoy the dialog. Those are two things that I try my hardest to make real. I am currently in the process of writing the next chapter but due to a killer case of writers block I'm not making a lot of progress. Thank you for your concern and consideration but I WILL complete the story. It's just taking me longer than I planned. best, Owl

Hello Nikitwinki, good to see you again. Thanks for reviewing and for the clip. Believe it or not the guy that was mixing the drinks is almost EXACTLY how I picture David. best, Owl

Hello ColumbusGuy. It's good to hear from you. I am glad that you've been enjoying my work. Discoveries is one of my favorite short stories to date. Big Gina is actually based on a very good friend of mine. Malcolm...I can't say for sure what happened to him. He might still be around. best, Owl

Hello ColumbusGuy. It's good to hear from you.

Hello ColumbusGuy. Good to see you again. I am glad that you enjoyed Wolf. In all honesty I don't know where this story really came from, to this day lol. I'm glad that you aren't ashamed to admit to crying. I'm not ashamed to admit that did too while I was writing...and still when do when i re-read it. I hope to hear from you again, best, Owl

Hello Kagenokami, I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to get back to you. it has been a very strange year. I am happy to hear that you have enjoyed the story so far. I do hope that Max doesn't freak out that badly...it sounds very painful. I hope that you enjoy future chapter and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello Tylor_hr. Sorry it has taken me so long to reply to you. It has been a very strange year. I am glad that you liked the chapter. I always love to hear from people who have enjoyed my work. I hope that you enjoy the newest chapter. best, Owl

Thank you all so kuch for the birthday wishes. I really and truly appreciate them. Thank you all.

Hello Everyone, I wanted to stop in and leave a quick message for everyone and I thought that this would be the most efficient way to do so. Do to a recent death in my family and some issues at work I have been unable to put pen to paper, as it were, since my most recent entry into Indiana Summer. While not as personally affected, (as crass as that sounds), by my uncles passing I have been taking up some extra responsibilities around the house and with my grandmother in order to ease some of the stress. There have also been some issues at work, (nothing job threatening), that I've had to work with which has kept me from writing there like I normally would. Thankfully things are begining to even out and I intend to start writing again by the first of the month. It is my intention to have a new chapter of Max and Josh out by/before the end of May. best. Owl

Hello Herm (if I can call you that, it's great to see you again. It has been awhile. You are quite shrewd. Perhaps Mr. Templeton does see more than we all think. The question is though, how much and what will he do with what he sees? I promise that the answer to those questions won't be long in coming. best, Owl

Hello Shinoai, good to see you. I will always continue my works, even if it does take me more time than I would like. We're reaching the point in the story where old questions will start to be answered and maybe a few new ones will be posed. I just hope that no one tries to lynch me when they get those answers I'll let you know now that there really isn't anything going on with Reggie. I don't think I made it plain enough in the story but he was really just having a bad night. Thank you for reviewing and I look forward to hearing from you again. best, Owl

Hey Ricky, it's good to hear from you. I assure that the answer to many of the questions are coming. Quite sooner than some might expect. I can understand the desire though and I am sorry that this chapter didn't deliver in that respect. I'm working with a bit of a time frame (within the story itself) so I have to space things in a certain way without rushing or lumping too much at once. I'm glad that you enjoyed the chapter and I assure that my many questions will be answered very soon. best, Owl.
