Okay, we've reached the end of Tainted Love. If you read it, thanks a bunch. Also, thanks for the comments y’all posted. I like the fact that the characters were engaging enough that some of you got mad at some of them.

Next up, we are posting a slightly rewritten version of Silver Wings with a better ending. Silver Wings includes some of my experiences in Vietnam during my first tour. I don't claim it to be biographical, but I figure I walked the walk so after 55 years I can talk the talk a little. Chapters will start posting this week on our usual Wednesday & Saturday schedule.

Finally, a big shout out to my good friend and editor, TeNderLoin. Jim not only fixes my mistakes and makes my scribbling readable, he also keeps me focused and on track – no small task, believe me.

As for what’s next – I’m nine chapters in on the follow up to Johnny Goes to War. Y’all keep reading and I’ll keep writing.

I am posting a story titled Tainted Love. It is a repost and reedit of and older story I named Healing Hands, it was a dumb title and didn't really fit the story.

Some of the characters in this story remain some of my favorites. Y'all should read it, either for the first time or again.

"Honkeytonk Hero" is now available on Bookapy; along with "El Paso," "Jericho Donavan," "Johnny Pulaski," and "Johnny Goes to War."

So if you are interested, I have completed the continuation of Johnny Pulaski's story. Titled 'Johnny Goes to War', the story covers the almost four years after Johnny graduated from high school. The story will start posting the first Wednesday of the New Year and will post Wednesday and Saturday.

One early reader of the book raved: "Johnny Goes to War is that prefect melding of heart pounding military action and scalding hot, yet tastefully presented, sex. It is Saving Private Ryan meets Debbie Does Dallas. Yet it is as sensitively written as Doctor Zhivago with characters as complex as those in From Here to Eternity." (Thanks Mom!)
