Camy Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Cole Parker's 30th novel started posting this week. Spoiler A teen in extreme danger, having accidentally witnessed an assassin at work, is placed in witness protection. All the elements for a thundering good story are in place and let loose. All we have to do is hang on for the ride! Link to comment
Oliver Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 And we will, Camy, we will. 🙂 Link to comment
Camy Posted September 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Wowza! Me, I doesn't like Ricco. I doesn't like him one little bit. Rock on Saturday - though by then my nails will be in ruins. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 It gets worse! Oops.  Giving too much away. Aww, no. You knew that. C Link to comment
Camy Posted September 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 - Chapter 5. I have questions and hopes... in no order: What scheduling system do they use at Prescott High? Did Ricco assassinate Kevin's family? Spoiler I sincerely hope that Derek decides to let Mr. Scott change his name on the school computer before Ricco arrives, and that Jeremy doesn't inadvertently burble the game away. Also, if Ricco does go batshit and assassinate them all, can I have Mr. Scott's house? Â I'm now panting (with a smidge of tongue lolling) for chapter 6. Â Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 I love it when readers think ahead with me. You're wonderful, Camy! C Link to comment
Camy Posted October 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 - Chapter 6. In this overly jaded world we're living in it's great to think there are adults like Mr Scott: kind, and without hidden agendas. That said, Derek/Jake/Nick seems very trusting. I'm not sure I'd be quite so laid-back if I knew I was being hunted by a killer. Spoiler There's going to be one very upset assassin, when Ricco finds out there's no Jake at the school! I hope Mildred Healy's daughter isn't hurt in the fallout. Jonesing for 7! Â Link to comment
Camy Posted October 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 - Chapter 7. I jolly well hate cliffhangerettes. Apart from that, top notch! Â Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 I love cliffhangers. Especially when I'm the one writing them.  C Link to comment

Cole Parker Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 My Halloween story is about done. How about yours, Camy? Less sweet talk; more writing, please. C Link to comment
Camy Posted October 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Hallo what? Oh, damn. Yes, erm, close. Almost. You're entirely forgiven for the cliffhanger. 8 was a super chapter. Spoiler 1. I don't think Mr Scott will be too happy about Nick lying. 2. Except for guns the field is levelled, maybe even skewed, in Nick's favour. 3. Cool! Â Nine, he bleats, NINE! Odd, but by the end of this post I now have quite a good idea for Halloween. Looks like I've been Parkered. Â Link to comment

Camy Posted October 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Ooooooo! Spoiler Nick and Gary sitting up a tree K - I - S - S - I - N - G!!!!??? WITSEC would be soiling their underwear if they knew Nick was about to join a band... and play a gig. Methinks Ricco might well visit The Bent Nail. TEN!!! Â Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Ha ha ha ha. Love the enthusiasm. Not getting much mail at all for this one. Guess everyone is too busy playing video games on their phones. There seemed to be more readers ten years ago. The culture changes so quickly. Maybe it's all Trump's fault. Most things seem to be. C  Link to comment
Merkin Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 Unh oh. How do I know I'm reading a Cole Parker story? By realizing I'm muttering 'unh oh' every few paragraphs.  Spoiler Derick/Jake/Nick seems determined that he can hide in plain sight. Since he's run out of names I'll bet his guitar will betray him. Better get a kelvar backplate for the instrument before Ricco/Wacko/Wrecko shows up to hum a few bars.  Link to comment

Except I groan 'Nooooo..." a lot.  Spoiler  A while back I had a caffeine fuelled theory that Cole and Colin were writing a crossover, and their end chapters would post on the same day. In it (the theory which is mine, not Anne Elk's) Ricco would be the killer of Kevin's family. Sadly, stylistic and geographical differences made me rethink, though I'm still vaguely hopeful Nick might stumble across a copy of The Dream Weaver.   Link to comment

Strangely enough I love it when people hate me for that. 😀 I like where your story is going. Storywise. Hate my fear for what Ricco is up to though. Thanks a lot, Cole! Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Very happy people are enjoying it. C Â Link to comment
colinian Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Depending on each reader's POV, Cole's use of cliffhangers is either famous or infamous — or in some cases maybe both. He seems to like them a LOT, both those which are obvious and those which are less so. Colin  Link to comment

Cole Parker Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 I'm sure everyone realizes there is a point to cliffhangers: they prompt people to come back to read the next chapter. That's the principal reason I use them. C Link to comment
