Nigel Gordon Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Ren has all the markings of being a classic Cole Parker story and one I am certain we will all be looking forward to reading. At the same time I sense there is something a bit different in this story, I have no idea where Cole will be taking us in his telling of the story but I suspect it is going to be somewhere different and interesting. I look forward to reading more. Link to comment
Chris James Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 The first chapter in any story is always a difficult time for the author and the reader. The tone of the story must be set, details handed out, characters established, and the author must engage the readers in what is hopefully a long relationship...Cole has done all of that and more. Within several pages I had complete empathy with the main character and knew his life mattered. The details of a life are complicated and I didn't expect to learn as much as I did in this one chapter, but the information was all there. And like a good storyteller, Cole ended the chapter by giving the reader the impetus to read on about these interesting lives. Chapter two cannot come soon enough. I applaud the author.

Merkin Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 The classic Cole Parker story dilemma: read it now and then fret impatiently between each posting, or wait until it is finished while fretting impatiently for it to be all up. Dang.Maybe I'll just look at a little bit of Chapter One to get some idea of the plot.Dang.I sure hope it posts twice a week. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Ha ha ha ha! You guys are great! C Link to comment
Nigel Gordon Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I have complained to Mihangel about publishing all of his novel in one go, now I wish Cole would do that. Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Heck of an opening shot. Can't wait for more. Link to comment
Bruin Fisher Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 What a great beginning. Now, Cole, look after this poor boy, he deserves a better future than his past. Make his dad look after him properly or you'll have me to answer to! Link to comment

Chris James Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 This story could be a real Cole tour de force in that he is taking his time to flesh out the characters and their relationships with no apparent rush. I have quite enjoyed the dynamics presented between father and son. We have learned so much in the dialogue between them, and yet it seems much has been left unsaid...as if our sneaky author seems to have something up his sleeve. Perhaps I should have waited but the first chapter has teased me into reading each posting at it appears. I could wait a few weeks and go back to catch up, but that is not likely to happen. Is it Wednesday yet? Thanks Cole, enjoying the ride and I haven't been on a horse in 30 years. Link to comment
Bruin Fisher Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Chapter 7 ends with quite a cliffhanger. Drat you, Cole! Link to comment

Cole Parker Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Thanks, Gil. Not even to the half-way point yet. C Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 We get to hear from the mule next. Link to comment
Nigel Gordon Posted August 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 So far this story has more than lived up to its expectations and I am really enjoying it. Can't wait to see what comes next. Link to comment
FreeThinker Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 The last few chapters show that Cole is now the master of the gay coming-of-age western suspense thriller! Or maybe he just created the genre! Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Yup. It's Cole. Just watch him go. Link to comment
Oliver Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 The classic Cole Parker story dilemma: read it now and then fret impatiently between each posting, or wait until it is finished while fretting impatiently for it to be all up. Dang. Maybe I'll just look at a little bit of Chapter One to get some idea of the plot. Dang. I sure hope it posts twice a week. I had the luck to just find this new story of Cole. I could read 16 chapters at once. :-) Forced to wait now like everybody else.... You did it again Cole! Nice work. Link to comment
kidboise Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 It's a fantastic story. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Thanks, guys. More chapters to come. C Link to comment
ChrisR Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Messr. Parker is evidently 100 years old. He remembers the days when serials showed every Saturday at the movies for a nickel and kids would walk through burning razor blades to make sure they got there! (Supposedly included the popcorn.) Wouldn't be any problem at all if he weren't such a doggone good writer. Curse you Ren Baron! Link to comment
dude Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Chris, I've heard it said that Cole was 113 going on 14. Don't know if it's true...Welcome to AwesomeDude! Link to comment
