Outstanding escape as always! I’m eagerly looking forward to “The Garbage Queens”!
Thank you for this, a heck of a way to start off this Monday. I have loved following this cast and family, all the gritty details...
The only nitpick I have is that Mia got renamed to Nichole a few times.
Thanks for continuing to share your great talent with us.

Another fantastic read. I hope that there's going to be another Garbage Prince and King as I've really enjoyed reading about Gordon and Todd. Though the Queen's should be equally as good if there like these have been.
Fantastic!! 5 big stars. Excellent story. I really appreciate you sharing your stories with us. Looking forward to your next submission.
What a delicious and tangled cast of characters. What a belle melange of tragedy and comedy. I can’t wait for more. In the meantime, I’m due to revisit “Righting a Wrong” and others. Many thanks.
is a little different. But I do enjoy it. Can't wait to read about the 'Queens'. Thanks for sharing......
That has bothered me since the Garbage King story. Great characters.
Thanks JB, for saving Mia, and not giving Todd a relapse. 5 stars!
I've read all of your stories and I like how you have a unified backstory and timeline for your universe of characters.
todd marries all four of the babes and gets his brains scrambled...and Gary, Raoul,and Derek (the little slimeball) are captured trying to harm mia and spend their last few hours tied in a leaky boat loaded with rotting chickens and cow innards that attract gators and other friendly reptiles. sorta a downhome type payback for all their jerky actions.
I'm so happy to be reading more about these characters, and to enjoy more of your humor and humanity and warmth. I will eagerly await the continuation.
By the way, a previous commenter said that several times Mia was mistakenly called Nicole. But my understanding was that characters who had never seen Mia before mistakenly called her Nicole, because she resembled her dead mother so much. So the error was by characters in the story, not the author.
Thanks, ohio
Love your down home stories, and tall tales. Five stars! Hope you, and yours are safe from this terrible virus.
Great story - another 5 star production! It's been almost 2 months since JB44's last effort was posted, and I'm really missing his work.
but I finally figured it out. Todd King is an arrogant, cruel, disgusting prick. The asshole is also a mean sadist. Gordon needs to take a belt to Todd's sorry ass. Hope Todd has a relapse.
I will be honest, I had to come back and read this one. After he started to hit Kerry with a belt, stopped. After reading The Garbage Queens, I realized I needed to read it to fill in some stuff I missed, like how the Kings got their granddaughter Mia. In the end you have done a great job with one of my favorite families in LA.
