Hi All

So I was so impatient to post the first chapter of the new O'Dell book, I went and posted the unedited chapter!

The corrected and edited one should be up shortly.

What a doofus!

I suck!

Hi All

Today is the day!

Valentine's Day - doesn't affect me.

Super Bowl Day - Go Chiefs!!!!!!

The Passion Of The O'Dells - Chapter 1 - Gets Posted next Sunday!!!!!

NO WAIT!!!!

I CAN'T WAIT! CHAPTER 1 POSTS TODAY!!!!!!!

Now this is the first time that I have begun posting a story that is not finished. However, at this time, I only have three or four more chapters to write for it to be done.

The wonderful Coullpert is the editor and has been a joy to work with.

The story picks up right where The Fortune Of The O'Dells leaves off. This book takes the O'Dell family up through World War Two.

I sure do hope you enjoy reading it as much as I'm enjoying writing it.

Thanks, in advance for your readership.

Hi All

It seems really weird to have a Sunday come along and not have an O'Dell story chapter post.

Have no fear, The Passion Of The O'Dells will debut on Feb 14th, because I love my readers! I have 15 chapters finished and the first 5 chapters have been edited. One more read through and I'll be ready.

Maybe if the KC Chiefs win the Super Bowl, I'll drop a chapter early. Maybe.

I guess I've had some stories nominated for Clitorides. Vote for me or I'll hold off posting until June!

Maybe.

Or not.

Hi All

I can't believe that people many didn't think "Salts" was funny! Or "Who's Sleeping With Whom?" or "Got Milk?" or even "Have You Ever Had The Feeling That Something Was Going To Happen?".

I know I have a sick and twisted wit at times. And I know that I often end stories that allow the reader to use their imagination as to what will happen next instead of leading them like a bull with a ring through it's nose to a certain conclusion. But come on!

I laughed when I wrote them. I laugh when I read them over. And I chuckle my old wrinkly ass off at the ones that don't get them and give them 1,2, and 3 scores.

Read on!

Hi All

First thank you to the many who shared this adventure with me. I can't tell you how much your emails have encouraged me.

So the story ends and the next book, "The Passion of the O'Dells" will begin on Valentines Day, February 14th. And it will chronicle the O'Dells move from the plain to Boise, ID, the adventures one in World War 1 and of two in World War 2.

I also am going to make another plug to get nominated for a few stories that I'm very proud of from 2020. "Friends and Family" is my favorite and although it is only sitting at a 7.97 score due to one 6 score very early in the story, I think it is very worthy of a nomination.

I'll never get the votes of readers that my friends Michael Loucks or Gordon Johnson get, but being nominated as an author would make me puff out my chest a little.

Finally, would anyone be interested in me making some of the longer stories out on Bookapy? I don't do this for money, but have been told that there are people who would be interested. Let me know and I'll think about it.

Thank you again for your readership and support and comments, yes even the "You suck!" ones.

Now that I've recovered from a mild bout of Covid (the cotton swab scraping the inside of your skull is not fun) and its triggering of gout in both knees and my left foot, life is looking pretty good, Although I must admit that my rather erotic dreams of how I was going to spend my 69th birthday never came to fruition because I was quarantined.

Such is life!
