I finally had a chance to tabulate all the responses. I got an amazing total of 60 responses. The average age was 62 and from all parts of the US and 5 different countries (UK, Switzerland, Canada, Australia and China). Interestingly almost 1/3 of respondentsstated they were former military. I'm sure even more just never mentioned it.
The youngest respondent was 30 and the oldest was 83. I was someone surprised that there wasn't a single woman in the bunch. I don't know, maybe there's just not many women that read storiesonline or maybe my stories just don't appeal to them.
Finally, so many of you added kind words and support it really made me wish that I could buy you each a beer or two. That's not practical so instead, I promise to put my utmost effort into my stories on your behalf.
I'm back to the third Nexus story- 'Nexus Evolution'. I've started writing the 1st chapter and as soon as I post the last chapter of Nexus Rising I'll add it.
Cheers, and Semper Fi to you all.
