Just finished your book. I'm glad I started it after completion, for it deserves to be read in one piece, although this way I missed out on the forum dicussions.

I admire your use of language and the ability to make me feel the emotions that you gave your "children" as real ones.

I'd grant every gay man the love as given life by you between Emeric and Silviu or between Junayd and Ahmed.

Thanks for a moving novel.

Thank you for saying it moved you. That's the best kind of compliment.

The story is finished, so I'm not sure why it reads as In Process.  Maybe a glitch when the site upgraded?  I'm sure AC will look into it.  Anyway, I highly recommend this story.  You won't be disappointed.  It's one of my favorite stories on this site.

This is an excellent story...you cant go wrong with any of AC's work.

I just found this story by way of a forum post by AC, and will have to put it away, for a while, after only one chapter. My initial reactions: First, I like the present tense. AC might have noticed that, when I comment on a chapter I am reading or editing, I often shift the language to present tense. I want to be there! Second, I haven’t looked at the tags, and I probably won’t look.  AC’s post says Emeric will be "slowly drawn into believing the impossible,” which is already more than I want to know. Third, this is going to be hard to put down. Cold turkey is the only way. Fourth, there’s always a bargain struck, without negotiation or discussion, between author and reader, covering, among other things, how to interpret clues. In this case, after only one chapter, I must agree that a raven when your name is Corvin is probably worse than a random bird in the bedroom, which is always unnerving.

An appreciation for the immediacy of a story told in present tense is something I gained doing screenplays. It's the standard with them, and offers a great colorful punch within a limited scope of words. So, yay! Glad you respond to it here. 

As for B&B being moor-ish...I've been told I'm bad and have gone all the way to addictive with this one. So, yes, prepare some time

Thanks for your comments, @knotme. I appreciate them.
