great to see and read, keep to your own pace, i see this going a long time
back and read everything again but it was worth it. Great stories. I hope you continue and glad to have you back.
As much as I love this series, my interest in it is rapidly fading. Don't get me wrong, I love the character developement in the last few chapters, but where is the romance between Ashley and Joe? By that, I don't mean the sex. Ash was gone for a some time to record her album, I just find it hard to believe that we didn't get to read about how much Joe misses her, and vise versa. It's like he doesn't even exists beyond a few passing moments here and there. Joe has always been the sweet caring guy. I would assume that he would often pull out all the stops to show Ash how much he misses her and loves her. He's not a clingy guy but he has to do more than what he's been doing. /2cents
Part 7 will be a lot of setup, but Joe returns to the front focus. Hang in there!
It seems to be missing something though and i am not sure what. Am looking forward to the rest of the story
I hope and pray that you able to push out some more soon, the story line is captivating and tear jerking at times. Love your work.
Thanks all for your kind comments! I am working on part 7, which has somehow presented itself to me almost entirely through conversation. Because of all the speaking, it will be a bit longer than part 6. It sets up a considerable amount for the finale (have yet to decide if that will be part 9 or part 10) and sees Joe return toward the front focus. There's still about a quarter more to write, plus the rereading and polishing. So, who knows when posted. Thanks for your patience.
Keep the story coming, loving the characters and the dynamics between them
