Love the part where the family is being watched over caringly by Nic and Sam from Heaven.
But why Symonds Yat? (I live less than an hour from there.)

Thanks for your works.

Hugs
Nigel

Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.

…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.

Chapter 12 made me cry, it was so beautiful. It's not just the love but the general goodness of so many characters. But then, other chapters also made me "cry for happy".

I just hope Grasshopper continues to bless us with his writing long enough to bring "Just Hit 'Send'" to the time of "Summerfire" (when JD is a young adult) or beyond.

There are two Internet writers of gay-themed fiction that always make me feel better after reading a chapter of one of their stories, no matter how serious, tense, or depressing the current plot-line. Grasshopper is one of them. The other is Driver.

I know it has always been his plan to bring the characters up to date with a finite end at Summerfire. He and I used to discuss stories that had no apparent end or purpose.

It's a bit more challenging now that "just receiving an email" and htmling it up and posting it, but he has not said that his plans have changed. It looks more to be a matter of good time planning. And then relying on a combination of US Mail and the Royal Mail here
