Just the other day, I had an email from an author that I've worked with, sent to a few others also, that appeared to be spam. I sent back a reply to him stating that I thought someone was using his addy to send spam. I have mailboxes available with The House. I have 4 boxes in use and two of them have been taken over by spammers. I've had as many as 50 emails hit the spam folder in one shot. I've contacted Invision about it and they say there is nothing they can do about it. As a result, Comcast won't accept any emails from the house so I had to change the contact address to my yahoo account.

Chapter 2 of Goon has been posted.

I think James is referring to the feedback form at the end of the story. It does have a box that can be checked enabling the email to be sent anonymously.

Since I use Office 2003, Outlook is included, so I use it and pull the email from my Comcast account.

Definitely put a smile on my face this morning.

My laptop runs Vista and I've never had any problems with it. I have several neighbors who run wireless networks, so the only problem I have is when too many of them are on. It tends to slow me down. I unplug my router and plug it back it back in and I've got my speed back and I'm set up with a secure network. Just last week, I bought a new desktop with Windows 7 Home version. The one I replaced (XP) was about 3 years old and it was taking 2 to 3 minutes just to open a browser. I can't download the software for my cable modem so I'm using the ethernet connection, which I would have used for the wireless router anyway. The problem with this is, when I went to install the software for my Palm PDA, it couldn't do it completely because it couldn't connect to the internet. That's not that much of big deal to me as I can still use the old system to download the information from the PDA and my infusion pump. I installed another program that I use for editing and beta reading that wouldn't work with W7. There is a built in feature that allowed me to get the program to work by telling it what the last operating system was it was on. The program now works like it did before.

Even more so in chapter 32 And now Jamie has even more reason to hate the Humans. He's found out their plan to kill the Kalorians. We now know how he got his titles that the Kalorians, Giovanni, and Cody are calling him. Jamie has now been stirred to seek out Nic with the death of Christophe. We now know that the Trio was one of the experiments on strength and stamina. Now we get to learn about Nikolas after Interlude 6.

Chapter 32 should be up sometime this weekend. To wet your appetite, here's a little something for you.

Gay Authors currently has a contest going. The stories that have been submitted, are now available to everyone to read here. Because voting is still taking place, the authors of the stories have not been revealed yet. I have finished reading all five of them and all are quite good and can't wait to find out who wrote which story.

Chapter 31 will be posted October 24th. Then three weeks following that, Chapter 32 will follow. Chapter 32 will be the final chapter of the Prince of Modele Royale.

When I read the part where Jamie sits on the bed, after his bath, and it moved and made a noise. My response, was to say, ?Spinoza!? out loud, before I even knew it was him. I was glad to see Jamie finally stand up to Sprague and that he had been punished for his actions. I?m now convinced that Jamie doesn?t really need to absorb the orbs. He?s just acting as the holding vessel so that Loran doesn?t get all of them and that the mark on his leg is what will become known as the ?tattoo?. When it came to the meeting that they stumble upon, after following Castor, it surprised me, and I?m sure it will others, I thought of Nic when everyone was being mentioned in the narrative. Much to my surprise, it was Alexander. It also surprised me to see Damian present. As for the black and red present, I?m guessing that maybe he was the one present when Prof. Black was at the Villa that day. My first thought was of the one in Croals office but I then remembered he was dead. We are also learning a lot of new stuff as a result of that meeting. Some things we didn?t know and a reminder of some things we already knew.

Good try Luggy, but it's POSTED.

ONE DAY TO GO!!

Four days and counting.

Five days and counting down!

After the unexpected delay, and I have it on good authority, we can expect to see Chapter 30 October 3rd.

Here's a good story by David McLeod. In the year 2018, the War on Terrorism has consumed the American conscience?and the American economy. There are still, however, moments of light and love to be found. http://www.gayauthors.org/efiction/viewuser.php?uid=6908 He also has several other stories in a series know as The Book of Heroes.

I'm sitting in a separate bunker from the computer while I edit the story.

I see him pop online from time to time, but I don't bother him.

My sympathy and condolences as well James. Losing some one is never easy. Take care of yourself in this trying time but know you have friends.

UPDATE! If all goes well, we might get chapter 30 on September 12th.

Camy's link is the only link unavailable to me here in the states. At least at this time.

Croal did have his network of spies, but I think it was made up mainly of Kalorians and Humans. If there was any Icrians in the network, they wouldn't have known any of the others. We have found out that 10% of the Icarians preferred females. We also know that some did choose to mate with females and could not have children. Even tho Renauld loved Jamie, he preferred females. That we found out when Jamies group was with the Kosh and Jamie teased Renauld early one morning. A pair of Icarians go thru a ceremony that bonds them with each other. Loren and Alexander went thru it and so did Jamie and Nik. We've also learned that Jamie and Nic carry the genetic information in their bodies to continue their species. I have to agree, Giovanni is a bit of a mystery. Croal could have had a back-up plan in place. For all we know, he could be a brother to Nic. We have two Da'Valen so why not two Agramon. When it comes to the Circle, I have my own theory on that. I've posted it at The Talon House sometime ago. At this time, we don't know what happened that caused them to into hiding. The only time that we know that Jamie protected Nic was when they first went before the Council and the mage tried to attack Nic.

Thanks Ricky. I'm not sure how I missed putting Castor and Jakobus on the list, but they are there now. Over time Jamie is going to be working with this list and expanding on it and eventually, we may see a more complete list.
