Rutabaga Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 It seems like a good idea to start a thread for this new series that anyone can post to. I have read everything here by Joel (which is saying something, giving the extent of it) and am never disappointed. I remember liking Flip's Tale but have not gone back to refresh my memory. It will be interesting to read about characters in the late 20th century rather than the era of Robert Peel (Tom Browning's School Days).

Cole Parker Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I can't say I've read everything of his, but I have read most of it. He's a very accomplished writer. I'm looking forward to this, too. C Link to comment
Merkin Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 My impatience at the wait for the next chapter of "Jamie's Quest" is a wonderful prompt to go back and reread "Flip's Tale", which I'm doing right now. Don't overlook it if you haven't already read it. Link to comment
Nigel Gordon Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Like Merkin, I went back and read "Flip's Tale", which I thoroughly enjoyed. There again I have enjoyed all Joel's work and look forward to reading the rest of "Jamie's Quest". The beginning has been first class. Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted April 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Story is gone -- I'm concerned. UPDATE: And now it's back. Weird R Link to comment
TomC Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 I am having so much fun reading this story (as I do all of Joel's stories). Poor Jamie doesn't quite know what all is going on around him, but he knows some of it must be important! Having to translate some of the dialog from Scottish and English into American sometimes forces me to slow down and pay more attention, but that is a good thing. Meeting many of the boys from Flip's Tale as their younger selves is adding to the enjoyment of both stories. Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted April 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Poor Jamie. Always "later." R Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted June 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Chapter 11 moves us forward a bit in Jamie's growing up. I would think he is already at or past the age at which he pops up in Flip's Tale, and I'm wondering when or if the crossover will evidence itself. R Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Now in Chapter 12 we get the direct crossover of the events shared with Flip's Tale. R Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted July 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 And now a huge amount of events and history. And . . . poor Jonathan. R Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 I'm reading this again and it's just as good as the first time through. Good job, Jamie! C Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted January 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 I can't remember if I ever figured this out (or if it is later decoded in the story): mrubo vozok tljor uboys oktld cczur utlut dodmr rhu If so, I've forgotten now what I did. R Link to comment
