Good Afternoon,
Lately I have been getting a lot of comments and emails on this story being my stepped child and that Joey is being treated really badly. I addmitted in my writers corner in the last chapter that was posted last Friday, Chapter 21 that I have not paid as much attention to this story as I have been with my others. I hope to change that in the months ahead.
I started already by putting up photo albums and locations in this story. To bring it current with the others stories. I have spent a little more time in the story and getting new plot lines going and moving the boys back here to El Paso. I do not know much about where I moved them to, so it was harder for me to write the story. I did research on the net, but that is one thing and writing it is another. I try my best to get you guys good chapters everytime one is posted and I will not post a chapter of crap to just to post. Once I get you angry as a reader, you might never come back. The easiest way to angrier you is by posting crappy chapters.
With that said there is a lot to come in this story that I think it finally got life. It is going to grow with so many of the new plots I have opinion and when those die off, they will open up new ones. I have so many ideas of where this story is going to go, it is going to keep you guys on your toes as my other stories do.
A few examples is the Hotel that Joey will soon own. It will not only be a shelter for gay teens. It is way to big and not enough teens to fill it. We already know one floor is going to be kind of a half way house for second chances. Bobby is the first to get that chance. The other floors are going to have different programs, but most of them will stay as it was origanlly made, for gay teens to go and have a safe place to live. This hotel is going to do a lot for the community and it is going to be under the leadership of Joey. Yes Joey hired Helen to run the day to day things, but that frees him up to do the big picture of the hotel and much more.
Much more like football, run the ROTC program, be a boyfriend to Caleb, enjoy his youth and yes he and Jacob will go into bussines together in El Paso on something that Jacobn does not own. When that happens, Joey will run the stuff, Jacob is going to be a silent partner doing his thing. Turst me Jacob plate is over filling right now as it is. Joey is going to have a lot going on in his life very soon, he will not know if he is coming or going.
As well we have several court cases going on right now in the story. Reason for that is who Harold is. First is the Dominic, do not forget about the uncle. Second is Bill and his friends for what they did to Aaron. As well the Haynes boys, Aaron’s brothers. Then we have the most important one of all, Beth. Do not forget about her, becasue I have not. She is coming back in the story very soon and you are going to hate her probably as much as you hated Martha.
There are the kids at the shelter, they are going to have their own plots very soon. As well there is Bobby and that entire thing there. Fran and Allen, do not forget about them. These are just to name a few of the many plots that are out there going on. As the story unfolds, more and more plots will appear and trust me, you gus are going to cry, scream, tare your hair out and shoot me bad emails and comments some times and good ones at another. So be ready, this stroy has just began and there is so much ahead in it.
test, just a test only
I feel guilty about loving Joey since his RL breakup with you was horrible. I just think he’s a very truthful character. I can’t help but think Jacob is a bit too good to be true. I would have found him more believable if he’d resigned his ROTC program when he surrendered his rank insignia. Joey is the screwup any 16 year old gay boy from Texas should be. I really think the Jacob and Joey from your story belong together but given their emotional growth they should only come together after letting down Caleb and Dewayne VERY gently (maybe have those 2 fall in love?)
thanks for your stories

I just finished reading all the stories except alex’s. and i agree with maarten that joey’s character is the most truthful and believable of them all. after all, monogamy during one’s teenage years is quite not as forthcoming when one is deluged with hormonal overloads and the propensity to experiment.
I also like the character of chris, joshua’s former boyfriend and first love. that is really in tune with reality. i trust that his character is also given more focus as the story moves on.
let me take this chance to mention some of the finer points in the stories i have read thus far. i keep noticing things that distracts me from my reading pleasure, namely grammar and to some extent, choice of words. i keep seeing “polity” instead of “politely”; “convey” instead of “convoy”; “oblivious” instead of “obvious”. there are others but those mentioned have been observed several times in all three stories.
in addition, phrases like “get back” is used instead of “get back at”. well, these two mean entirely two different things. i wish that the team would kindly make these corrections in the future. these stories are really great and improvements such as those mentioned would truly add to the value that this saga has.
thank you and please keep writing.
