Nigel Gordon Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 It will be interesting to see where this story is going to go, but wherever it is going I am sure Peter is going to make it interesting. A new story from Cole is not something to miss, this one I suspect is going to be very enjoyable.

JamesSavik Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Wow Cole- this is different for you. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Thanks, guys. I enjoyed this one a lot. It was a bit different and pulling it together a challenge, but challenges are fun. C Link to comment
jnwrx1 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 So, couldn't have but notice the plural title: "Terrytown Tales". Is this going to be the next community story, like Sanitaria Springs? Probably not, i'd say. Link to comment
Chris James Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Yes, a different kind of story from Cole...and no dead bodies in the first chapter. Homeless youth is an epidemic we must deal with and I am looking forward to Cole's take on the problem. Good read. Link to comment
FreeThinker Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 I had the privilege of reading this before it was posted and its one of the most moving stories Cole has written. A number of Cole's recent stories have fallen in the thriller genre and this one is an example. He could easily become a successful writer of thrillers and find himself on the bestseller list. This one also has the trademark Cole Parker compassion for the underdog and the downtrodden. AND its loaded with romance. A cornucopia of genres and thrills! Read it. Link to comment
Merkin Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Cole himself is a thriller. I do wonder if his latest tale will end up in southwest Virginia, although at this time of year the mill he depicts, Mabry Mill here on the Blue Ridge Parkway, is more likely to be frozen up. BTW the rhodendron also shown on Cole's title page is the Rhododendron catawbiense, or Catawba rosebay, which some claim originated hereabouts.I'll be on the lookout for a scrappy kid named Peter...

Cole Parker Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 You guys are too much. I should have you all over to the house to help me through the block I'm having working on the one after this one. With encouragement like this, the words would just fly. C Link to comment
Guest Dabeagle Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 You'll note Cole didn't say it was done...slick. Let them sweat. Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Let's just hope we don't lose a chapter due to server migration . . . R Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 server migration tech agitation strong irritation delayed mitigation but now it is done it seems we've all won we're back in the game and all's just the same Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 And chapter 2 seems to be moving things right along. R Link to comment
Guest RBartlett Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Great start, very promising. Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Looks like the forum is up and running again. Intriguing new Terrytown entry. I guess we're to be left wondering whether the person at the beginning of the story is one of the two in the remainder of the story. Seems pretty likely I guess. I really loved the descriptions of the scenery -- very evocative. R Link to comment
Merkin Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Guess it's time for me to start a wall chart to track all of Cole's characters in this one. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 The mark of a good writer is to make each character distinctive and memorable. So -- you'd probably better begin the chart. Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 A cautionary tale for naked campers. I'm trying unsuccessfully to figure out how the first two chapters relate to the second two chapters. R Link to comment
Guest Dabeagle Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Stay tuned, it's a real web he's woven. Link to comment
Jeff Ellis Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Todays posting was so gentle and so captured the essence of early adolescence. I absolutely revelled in the moment, well done Cole. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks, guys. And for you doubters out there, give it a little longer. Rome wasn't built... well, you know. Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Or in this case, Terrytown wasn't built . . . In all events, I've gained a whole new appreciation of the aphrodisiac qualities of old mills and/or mill ponds. R Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 OK, now we have a tie-in with chapter 3. That's good. Chapters 1 and 2 await! I love the concept of the primary painting, by the way. R Link to comment
Jeff Ellis Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I really like where its going... it has depth Link to comment
Nigel Gordon Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I really like where its going... it has depth It not only has depth it has complexity. Cole is weaving a web of connections that would do justice to a spider on acid. I can't imagine how he is keeping track of it all but I jolly glad he is, like Jeff I really like where this is going.
