He has indeed. The Graice brothers might be spoiled and priviledged but that doesn't mean they are spoiled brats and it doesn't mean they're not lost lonely and hurting.

I've just posted Chapter four of Aria Graice. Amara is performing a concert at the O2 Arena in London. I hope I am about to post a blog that puts images to some of the things Drew saw when he accompanied Aria backstage The O2 Arena × Your previous content has been restored. Clear edito The FAB Room The Wardrobe Doors The M&M Dispensers The Room The Secret Room The Box Where they viewed the concert I hope you enjoyed the peep into Aria and Amara's world and the event described in the Chapter. If you'd like to see a video that shows even more 1

The interior of the limo smelled like it had just come out of the showroom. Drew wouldn’t have been surprised if it had. The leather upholstery was buttery soft, the colour of warm caramel, and he felt almost guilty about how uncomfortable it made him feel and how tense he was, perched on the edge of his seat. Aria, on the other hand, lounged with a glass of champagne from the well-stocked fridge, twirling the glass between his fingers. “Why are you angry with me?” Aria’s voice, soft

I'm 53 and going backward in the ability to adult

I absolutely adore those books and I can see what you mean. Storm's books are full of intrigue and manipulation. That's why I love them so much, but I couldn't aspire to be anywhere near as good at it as she is You should read the Wreuththu books. They're too spectacular to be categorized. Those were the books that first got me interested in writing gay stories. Whilst the characters are not technically gay, they're a new race of humans who all present as men but are able to interbreed. A man might want to cross his legs when reading about how they have sex but the whole concept like everything else in th ebooks is awesome

The party was one of my most fun scenes to write, but that's not coming up for a chapter or two. First, you get to see what it's like to get a red carpet seat at the O2 arena in London Don't get me started on Julianna Graice!!

They're not adults yet. They're only seventeen They've got a month to go before official adults and a number of years before they're grown up. The twins ARE as annoying as all hell, but yes, they do have more to them than meets the eye

Suspicious mind I like it. Question. Would she have drawn attention to the fact it might be someone close to the boys if it was her? Wouldn't she want to keep the investigation at a distance? By saying this she's putting Drew on even more of a high alert

Hehe. Danger can come in a lot of forms. Aria is small but he packs a lot in. With Amara too Drew has double trouble. Small dark spaces might come into the story later on...or they might not

Oops, I'm off to change it. Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed. I have started a sequel, but it's slow going with all my other projects. Suki will come into his own. Some things are meant to be and some things are not.

Oh I do, trust me, I do I love to watch videos about etiquette, especially those that take the piss.

Oh boy, don't I know that.

The British aristocracy has so many stupid rules and traditions it's not even funny. Suki is a surprise package.

Baby steps

Thank you The concert is at the O2 arena in London. I did quite a bit of research but the O2 has the BEST backstage area. I just loved it and I hope I manage to do it justice in my explanations

Maybe it's an English thing, but that's the first thing we go to, even in hospital itself. Not able to eat much? Have a sandwich with the crusts cut off. It's the English equivalent to chicken soup

Oh yes. Yes it is. Yes it definitely is

I felt it had to be Sacha. He deserved that. It was also important that it wasn't James.

I do like my torture, don't I. I like to break situations and people down to a point where only complete honesty remains. Hospital rooms and torture chambers

I have to be honest, this was the part of the story I struggled with the most - how to get Sacha into a position where James could snatch him. I think I made Lacey a little too naive and have Frank take his eye off the ball a little too much, but it was the best I could do. There is definitely going to be a big eye opening for James and an absolute change in the way he sees Sacha

Oh, I like the idea of that story. I'll look for it. Thank you. It was a really stupid idea to think James and Sacha will get on just because they're forced together. Sadly it's a stupid idea that parents keep on having. I was guilty of it for a little while myself and god knows my parents were. It's more extreme this time, of course. It is definitely going to take a shock to snap James out of it.

Nik is the other side of the coin to James. He's from an even more privileged background and went through the same educational system, but he's a truly nice person. He does more good for Sacha than almost anyone. I think Frank's problem is one that is prevalent among parents. They are naive about their children and think only the best of them. The completely underestimate what evil little bastards they truly are.

Very perceptive, as usual. I don't think it's the boarding school that was the problem with James. In normal circumstances, I think James would have thrived in that environment. The issue with James is that he felt he was sent away "because of Alex", when the others weren't. That bitterness is hard to get over, and as you say children are cruel little bastards. As for spending time with Ryland? Anything's possible and no, he doesn't have the grit his brother has I'm sure you're less of an unlikely role model than you think. Whatever privilege you may have had/have, you still have wonderful empathy and perceptiveness that shines.

That's very insightful and you're so right about Ben's advice :S You will find out more about Drew's military experience later.

Thank you. Unpredictable? Oh yes, for sure
