In my story I have my MC reading before he goes to sleep. I never give the author or the title, just a few pertinent facts. This has become a regular feature with people sending emails with the title or asking for the title.

In Chapter 31 I mention a story about a man and woman who start out as old and demented who regain their minds, and retrogress to their early twenties, physically. Do over on the body if you will. They will progress into the future.

I have had many requests for the story name. It is Ever and Always. The only problem it is only ninety percent done right now. I intend to finish it and post while starting Tenth Grade of Richard Jackson.

That is why my wife says I am evil.

There might be a lynching in the Richard Jackson story. A forever unnamed reader suggested the wall of hay being used for archery practice was put up in the honor of Fodder's Day, which is June 21, 2015 this year.

My most sincere apologies to the residents of Craig Colorado, for moving their fair city. When choosing Craig for my story, I looked up US Route 40. One of the first cities one comes across is Craig. Unfortunately the directions was from West to East, not East to West. Now rewrite everything or hire United Van Lines to haul the residents home at the end of the tale. I think we shall move them later, after all it is all true give or take a lie or two.

More than fifty readers pointed out two errors that I made in the last chapter.
1. I had conflicting statements whereas in the prolog it referred to two passports, but later said he never knew about the British one. I changed the prolog to remove the conflict because it didn't change the storyline.
2. I called the early BankAmericard, Visa, shame on me, I remember the name change very well. Anyway I fixed it my removing references to BofA and Visa. They aren't important to the story line. I did find out from readers that there were metal cards in use in some major cities prior to that. Since I really was a small town kid I never knew.
I wish I could have finessed these like I did my error on when Yale went coed but there was no saving it.
My self imposed punishment is to reread the entire story to refresh my mind.
Keep those eyes sharp, and thanks.
Oh there were major errors on Ricks insurance situation but I think I have a fix for that.

I've had several emails asking about the movies in my story. Sir Nicklaus and Bandits of Sherwood are made up. Hell fighters and The Bravados were real, but Rick only was an extra in the first, and had nothing to do with the second.

The one that I thought people would question, It Never Happened, with John Wayne and Elvis in it, was not questioned at all. The fact is Wayne and Presley never appeared in a movie together, hence the title. Other than the possibility of a cameo Rick will not appear in RL movies.
