Thank you,
J.P.G.
I have been reading your stories since your first posting your first chapter of Jacob finding his way I have loved it and now all four of your amazing stories that are briliant and most importantly fun to read. Ever since. I have said this many times you are a gifted writer and story teller. I can’t wait to read what you have instore for your stories. Thank you so much for writing them and sharing them.
Brian thank you! Readers like you are the reason I keep writing. There are a lot of twist and turns to come and I am telling you, they are good. As I wrote out my last couple chapters of Shadow, 42 and 43, I actually got tears in my eyes. SO many lives get changed in these two chapters no one would have seen it coming.
Like Brian, I have been reading all four of your stories since the beginning. I agree with him that you are (and your editors also as I know they are a great help to you) one hell of a fantastic story teller. To be able to write four stories that intertwine with each other, keep all the characters and story lines straight it absolutely amazing. I know I check every day (even though I know you post on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays) for another incredible chapter in one of your amazing stories. Keep up the great work, your fans (especially me) certainly love and appreciate your and your editors efforts.
Richie
Richie,
As always thank you my friend. You and I have gone back and forth many of times and I enjoy our conversations. I know you, as all my readers, will look into the chapters to come. Thank you and I hope I never let you down as a writer.
hey jacob like the others I have been reading from the start…… your stories are amazing how you do it I will never know…… love the new site aswell with the pictures of characters (joey is a hottie!!)…… one question I know jacob started off as a true story so is that you on the picture for jacob?
Michael as far as the pictures I tried to get as close to the real people. The picture of JAcob is really close to me when I was younger. Hair style was a little different, but other than that skin color, heght, figure and the face is very close to how I looked.
Thank you guys for coming back week after wek for my stories. Trust me they are going to get even better. For Example in Shadow chapter 42 and 43 the world as the kids know get turned up side down. Something huge happens there that just changes everything. Jacob Finding His Way is getting good with so many plots out there and Beneath the Mask well let’s just say that gang is catching up to Alex and Carlos but someone out of no where may be able to help Alex out. Let’s not forget Regrets and heartaches. The story where ewe left off at is Joey getting back on his feet, but again he leans on Jacob and Al for help emotionally and putting together his plans to help out others. Stay tuned gentleman, it is going to be a roller coaster ride in all my stories.
Jacob asked me to create a poll that we would appreciate you all responding to. Please select the “Poll” menu item at the top of the http://jacobmillertex.wordpress.com home page.
jacob you do a great in writing the stories especially four at once, how you do it i would never know. your editors do amazing job to with helping you out.
In shadow of my father has it got anything to do wth martha by anychance?
can not wait for more chapters to come i am hooked.
Nat,
Thank you and as for your question, I hope I have it right, Martha isn’t the main character of Shadow of my Father. She is there, but Josh and his Father you can say are the main characters. If I didn’t get your question right, please ask me again.
Jacob, I don’t think I have ever waited so much as a day to read a new chapter once you announce it. You know I have been a faithful and loyal reader of your works since day one. And you continue to reward me with great stories and amazing characters. I know I could never choose a favorite story or a favorite character. Each and every one makes my days better. I thank you for all you’ve given me and I look forward to all that is yet to come.
Ed
Indeed you have been one of my faithful loyal readers, I can always depend on having a email with suggestions from you every time a new chapter has been posted. I have taken some of your suggestions and ran with them. Thank you so much for all what you have helped me with and I know I can always suspect to see more suggestions form you to come. I will use them if they fir into nay of my three stories.
Hi Jacob. Thanks for directing me to your website. Really well done. I like what you did with giving a photo of each of the characters.
Now I’m up to date with all of your stories except Shadow of my father – which I’ve just begun.
Great Stories as I’ve told you already.
Terry,
I have been directing many of my readers from GA over to my site. I am glad you came over and glad that you like my stories and site. I am once again sorry for pulling my stories from GA, but things just didn’t work out on that site for me.
The pictures I felt was cool because when I read stories I would like to put a face to the name. Now that I am writing and have my own site, I wanted to do this. Keep coming over because there is going to be lot more being added. Such as pictures of the schools, the houses and etc…
We have communicated before and I receive your email. Just wanted you to know that I continue to read the stories. Your efforts are superb!I don’t expect perfection. Just an interesting story line that I can enjoy. You have done that and more(x4}.
Please continue on each story line. Your editor is great. Wonderful plots on Jacob, Joey, Alex and all the rest. You even have me constantly pissed at Gloria and Elizabeth. Ha.
Keep it up.
Jacob,
Just read the latest post of Jacob… and it was great as uaual. I dont think he should run for President, since it seems he is going to be the number one guy for all for the ROTC. Student council might work as long as it isnt a waste of his time. So her is my question of the week…
In your comments at the end, you said you thought Regrest 14 and 15 would have been posted but they have not… so I was wondering if you have them already posted, why not post a couple of them at time to get everything caught up as you are trying to do with Shadow..?
All my best to you…
Bob,
As far as Regrets when I was writing that chapter of Jacob, I was not having a problem with Regrets and Heartaches. I had chapters 14 and 15 already written. Then I ran into a brick wall as far as Regrets. I just finally got got done Regrets 16 and sent it off to the editor this evening. I threw in a lot of twist and turns and shook up the story as I did with Beneath to give it new life. So be aware when you read 16, you will get many shocks on what is going to happen in Joey’s life.
I still cant believe how you can connect these 4 stories together and not fail on the plot and characters, great job. I’m hooked. From Puerto Rico
Well Jacob,
This is the fourth attemp to send a response. I guess either my computer or your blog “ate” the others. I’ll just say I hope you don’t stop the stories. My suggestions went to the big black hole.
Looking forware to more chapters!!
Larry
Jacob,
The new pictures are GREAT. Thanks.
I thoroughly enjoyed all three new chapters! I do have some suggestions if you don’t mind.
You might consider merging Beneath The Mask into Jacob. They are so similar it seems you are duplicating alot of things in the two and those become redundant to the reader or at least to me.
Secondly, I think you readers would find it helpful if you put some sort of indicator between paragraphs when you are changing scenes. Possibly something as simple as *** on a blank line. It would help the reader transition to a new train of thought.
I have refrained from mentioning my third suggestion since I starting reading your wonderful stories because I didn’t want to offend you but you really should have a good proof-reader. You mix up character names and use many duplicate words that must confuse many readers.
I hope I didn’t offend you with my comments because I really enjoy your stories and look forward to each new chapter. I just thought I would give you my comments since you asked.
Keep up the good work.
Larry
I just joined your site..Not sure how long I’ve been reading your stories but I started with Jacob finding his way then Shadow of my father..I check nifty almost daily looking for new chapters..I love the story..I’m a truck driver and at the end of the day I love to relax drink a beer and read another chapter..THANK YOU for sharing with me..
I have read every installment of each story, so you have to finish them. I started with Shadow and picked up the rest. Jacob is my second choice and I read the third also. Keep it coming.
Beautifully written and absolutely intertaining. Don’t change in your creative ability as the stories are great.
I will like thank all of you for coming in here and giving me your thoughts and comments about my site. I hope you enjoy everything here and keep letting me know your thoughts about what you are seeing.
Jacob 67 is another great chapter. Keep them coming
Hey guys,
I know you all do not like cliff hangers and there was on in chapter 37 of Beneath the Mask. I have gotten a lot of emails on that and let me tell you none of you have guest right on who is on the other line. Let me drop you a hint and see if you all can figure it out before Wednesday of next week. There is main character in the story that you all know and I hope come to like. It is hitting Alex hard, which means it cannot be someone he really doesn’t know. Put these two things together and you might be able to figure out maybe what the phone call is all about. If not, you will have to wait until Wednesday of next week, SORRY! LOL!
Another thing guys,
There is a new plot line being started in Shadow of My Father, chapter 54. IT was given to me by another reader, who is writing his own stories as well. IT is going to be an awesome plot and the reader is going to help me move the plot line along. I would like any suggestions on plot lines or new plot lines in my stories. If they go good with the story I will use them and give you credit for coming up with the plot line like Roland did in 54 of Josh. Like Patrick did early on in Josh and many more. I have even created characters after readers when they asked me if I can. I try to get them in the story if their character they want makes sense in the plot lines that are going on. So as you can see I do read you emails and do take them to heart and use constructive feedback in my future chapters.
Hey guys,
I have been getting a lot of emails this evening about the same topic. When I wrote chapter 68 of Jacob Finding His Way, I had already written 16 and 17 of Regrets and Heartaches. I figured that those two chapters would have been already posted by the time this chapter of Jacob was posted. That is why I said what I said in my writers corner. Now we all know that those chapters are not posted. So let me answer you all at once, chapter 16 of Regrets and Heartaches will be posted this week. Plus Shadow of My Father and Beneath the Mask. I cannot skip a week on any of the stories, so that means you are going to get four chapters this week to read. I hope you enjoy them all and let me know what you are thinking when you have a chance.
Thank you
J.P.G.
Jacob,
I love all of your stories and have been an avid reader of each one, anxiously looking forward to each chapter as they came out. I was so excited to find your website so I could see the stories and characters here first. The new website looks great, the only thing that is missing is on the home page, a listing of when your new story is posted. Have you moved it to somewhere else? If you just had a small part on the home page that gave the general days of when each new chapter was being posted would be a big help. Right now I am having to click on each story and see if the new chapter is there or not.
Hi There Jacob,
Just letting you know your story’s are great, Just can’t wait to see what happens in the next chapter of Jacob find’s his way, and all the other storys are good to, Keep up the good work.
It has been a while that someone has come here and left a comment. I hope you are liking how the site is looking. I am building the site from scratch with no templates from anywhere. At this point I have the home page and Shadow of My Father finished. There might be a few changes, but not many. If you have any suggestions about the new look, drop them here please. As always I look forward to them. I hope again you are liking the hard work that is being put into the site. When it is all said and done I promise you that you will not find another site out there on the net like this one. So enjoy as I said at the front page.
Thank you
J.P.G.
Ilove the stories. I don’t know how you keep the 4 stories together
I am glad you are getting the stories closer together.
I love being able to see the people and places as you see them.
I have a big complaint of your new site ( NOT THE STORIES) I am having trouble reading them as the text is being camoflarged by the background.
Thanks for the stories

Just examined the topic. Awesome work. end snoring
My sis instructed me about your web site and the way great it is. She’s right, I am actually impressed with the writing and slick design. It appears to me you’re simply scratching the floor in terms of what you may accomplish, however you’re off to an ideal begin!
My website is on Healthy recipes.
my friend told me all about your stories so one day i decided
to read it for myself and i am so happy i did because i’m in
love with them but my favorite is “beneath the mask”
you have become one of my favorite authors the way you connect all
4 stories is amazing and i can relate to your characters in so many
ways now and days do that with some stories.
i can just go on forever telling you how much i enjoy your stories
but all i can say is keep writing because you are amazing
<3
I am waiting for Chapter 2, Rebirth. It has been a long time since you published Chapter 1.
Jacob I have enjoyed all 4 of your stories from the beginning, but I have been to much of a coward to wright to you till now, I cant stop reading them you have me hooked on them, and I can relate to them and the lives of the characters seem so real, I hope you keep up the good work and I hope they never end,
Thanks,
Cris
I liked your article is an interesting technology
thanks to google I found you
Hey Jacob,
I have been meaning to ask you, do you have pictures of the characters that we could actually put a face to a name? I know this is fictional, but still, a face helps the characters become more real.
Thanks and as aways, keep up the good work.
Patrick

Patrick,
Yes there are bios for each story which include their pictures. Just go on over to their story page and you will see the list of characters which include pictures. Also on each story page you have pictures of places, sports and the couples together. Lots of work as gone into those pictures, please enjoy.
I love your stories!! Though I kinda wonder which parts are real or not :S
As I read each chapter of Jacob finding his way it gets more and more intense! Right now I’m on chapter 9 and it’s getting crazy! All I want right now is for you to find happiness because you make me happy! I love your story so deeply and can’t wait to keep on reading from what I read your story has inspired me and changed my life to say the least! I now have someone to look up to as role model! You have one awesome heart! Thank you.
I just want too say I love your stories and how it makes me very happy! Im currently on chapter 12 on Jacob finding his way and I can never get enough of it! Your stories are so insperational and because of that I look up to you as a role model! Youve been through so much and I can only say is Thank You! You have one awsome heart!
