Mark Gander: Blog

As you can see, whether you've waited patiently or impatiently, I haven't abandoned my works in progress. I just posted Chapter 3 of "Owning Cousin Stacey," for instance, and that is far from the only story that I'm updating here. Apologies for delays. There's often a lot of real life stuff that gets in the way, at least when one has an autistic stepson. Long story.

Thanks for reading my works. I expect to continue more updates in the near future, so please stay tuned, as they say. A lot of twists and turns can be expected soon enough.

I find the general description of this lifestyle considerably more useful and appealing than the cuckold or hot wife genre for at least some stories. However, there is one nagging question. Do stags, by definition, remain faithful to their wives who stray at their direction, content to facilitate things, or do some stags get strange, even if the emphasis remains on the vixen wife's fun? In other words, is this a loosely defined category, or is there a very precise, specific meaning and something similar except for the man getting it on the side would be distinct nonetheless from stag/vixen?

I was truly stunned and saddened to hear that Xalir, much like my late friend Otto Hauser, died. My condolences to any of his loved ones reading this, of course. His writing style and mine were not necessarily the same, but I enjoyed and respected it. I conversed with him more than a few times, in fact, though only on this site.

May you find peace, my friend. You are missed.

Sincerely,
Mark

I'm waiting for it to be posted. Yes, more members will be added in downtown Ithaca, New York. Yes, the teens will finally speak their minds, though I won't tell you the details. Yes, some changes are coming to even established relationships. Yes, they'll actually begin to leave the exodus from Ithaca itself. Also, I'm surprised that no one yet has picked up on the Easter Egg in the story.

Yes, as you can see, I completed the original story, known as "Mind Over Managers." This is not the end for Jack Saunders and family, as you'll see. He's now a U.S. Senator, as will be seen in the sequel, "Mind Over Politics," and he will be actively trying to reverse puritanical legislation and other such matters in favor of a much more liberal penal code. While an independent at first, he'll have to caucus with someone and that will give him more than a little influence as well, especially in a razor-thin margin Senate. Best of all, he still has mind powers, and well, you can guess what that means. Also, look for a certain schoolteacher turned Congresswoman from his district named Tanya Darling.
