Hi All

Well here we go. Scoring for the "Passion of the O'Dells" has been turned on and you folks are wonderful!

Chapter 5 breaks on Sunday and it is a landmark episode. Remember that Book 1 followed the primary O'Dells from the end of the Civil War to the midst of the fight with the Pueblo Cattle Company. Book 2 goes from the fight with the Cattle Company to the end of World War 2.

Chapter 5 marks a shift in location and brings a portion of the tale to a close. No cliffhangers at the end of this one.

I'm going on vacation for the next two weeks and hope to get a huge jump on "The Strength of the O'Dells" which follows our hero family from the end of World War 2 through the Vietnam War and into the struggles in Iraq and Afghanistan.
That leaves off right at the start of "I'll See You When I See You" which is followed by "Expect Me When You See Me".

The plan is to then return to "The Strawberry Patch - Book 4" Then I'm going to need a whole new set of ideas. I've been thinking of putting some of my stuff on Bookapy, but I don't know if people will want to pay for an entire book when they can get it for free. Let me know your thoughts, when you have time, please.

Hi All

Currently suffering through a nasty bout of gout in my left elbow and wrist. My writing has been affected as has my sense of humor.

However! The voting for "The Passion of the O'Dells" will get turned on Thursday night before I take off for out State swimming Champs and then two weeks vacation.

I've begun "The Strength of the O'Dells" and will work on it over the next two weeks.

Stay safe, my friends and thanks again for reading and commenting.

Hi All

It's time for the dreaded WriterMick drama and cliffhanger chapter. I'll turn on voting after chapter 5.

The comments have been wonderful and the email have too. I have one more chapter to write and the book will be done. I hate to begin posting a story when it's not finished. But this story spoke to me and I knew where it was going.

Thanks again for reading and for the comments!

Hi All

My good friend Professor C caught a couple of errors in my story "Salts". I fixed them and have sent in the corrected story.

This another one of those stories that I'm proud of because it came up with scores from 1 to 10. Can I screw with people minds or not!?!?!?!?!?!

Hi All

Thank you for your readership and be safe out there.
