Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the story.

Thanks for keeping us posted. I'm sure he's had more than enough of the hospital. Give him our love. A

I'm sorry to hear about Mike's present situation. I hope he improves and will soon be out of the nursing home.

Hi, Rutabaga, thanks for finding the glitch and alerting Alien Son. I believe it has now been fixed.

Another clever story from Cole, in which a boy solves his own problem. Fun even though the beginning is a little creepy.

Another one of my little whimsies, it plays with the question of what you would do if you ever met Grumpy. Enjoy.

THanks for the comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the story. Alan

The Boy and the PIg is a short story, actually a fable which I created nearly whole one afternoon after reading some of the fables of Oscar Wilde, although this story does not claim to be in the same category as Wiled's. It should be posted this weekend.

Thank you Nigel and Oliver.

Thanks for your comments, Nigel. I'm glad you're enjoying the story.

Hi folks, a new story, Going Whaling will be posted soon. It's set in the early 1850s on a ship out of New Bedford, Massachusetts and involves two teen boys who are on the voyage. I hope you enjoy it.

Coming soon: The Boy at the End of the Road, a short story about a boy who has not been among his peers since he was about five.

The Burden of Being a Prodigy, a new story, will be posted this coming weekend. It's about a very talented boy who at times wants to be just 'normal'. He becomes a gifted organist. I must admit the story is in some ways my wish fulfillment.

To be posted on Saturday, Charlie, the story of a homophobic boy and his younger brother who, through necessity, go from Texas to Massachusetts to live with their openly gay uncle and his husband.

Thank you, Rutabaga for your kind words.

A new series of short stories entitled "Boys and Water" will start posting midweek. Something different for and from me. I hpe you enjoy them.

Thank you all for your comments, both positive and negative. They are all instructive and will help make me a better writer. A

In The Beginning is a new short story which will appear on AD on Wednesday. I hope you enjoy it. Alan

A new short story, "Another World," will be posted on Wednesday. Since it's somewhat different from what I have attempted before, I'll be interested in reactions. Alan

A new short story by Alan Dwight set in the mountains of New Hampshire.

This new story is due to be posted tomorrow, Dec. 16. It tells the story of a gay schoolteacher finally coming out to himself and others thanks to one of his students.

A new short story, entitled "The Turtle" will be posted on Wednesday. It involves a runaway and a boy who befriends him. I hope you enjoy it.

A new story, A Boy Called Joe will be posted beginning this weekend. A very depressed boy is helped by the boy on a neighboring farm.

A wonderful, heartfelt story. I had no problem with the spot people are arguing about. I did notice that Jed's name occasionally became Jeb, but the meaning was always clear. Thanks for the story, Cole!

The sequel to The Triumvirate, which is titled The Knights of the Round Table, will be posted on Saturday. It has many of the same characters in it, but is told from Teddy's viewpoint rather than Liam's.
