WOW... thank you....i have read up to end of chapter 18.....i am so enjoying it...
I look forward..to going forward ... when you can
Thank you so much! AOTC has been a really emotional story to write and one in which I really
connect with the main characters as I write them. I'm glad you are enjoying it! I hope to have
more chapters coming out soon.

Came across this on Asstr and am really enjoying it so far (have just finished chapter 12,
got a bit of catching up to do). Have to agree with the comments comparing you with Renpet,
like him/her you have the ability to create characters that I can really care about. Having said that,
I absolutely hate Travis with a passion. Yes, he's probably good for Audrey, especially after
Darren effectively closed the door on their relationship, but I can't help feeling that he's coming
between Audrey and Darren potentially getting back together and I hate him for it. Is it wrong to
wish for something horrible to happen to him (shot, stabbed, run over by a bus, contracting ebola,
I don't care as long as it's fatal lol)? Keep up the excellent work and I'm praying for the happy
ending that Audrey and Darren deserve (and I'm not even religious lol).
Thanks so much for reaching out to me. I humbly appreciate the comparisons to Renpet. S/he
(I think it's a he, but not sure) is my favorite author on ASSTR and I'd put his stories at the top of any
list. I think we share a serious interest in doing more than writing fap stories (not that there is anything
at all wrong with writing fap stories, I like those, too!)
Believe me, I care about the
characters, too, and sometimes I wrestle with how things might turn out for them. I don't always
'know' the results of situations they are in until I write the scenes, and so, in many ways, I sort of
'find out' just like you do, and it makes me feel the emotions first hand. It's fun to let the characters
tell me what their lives are like and what their motivations are when they do things instead of trying
to force them into actions that aren't natural for them.
Re: Travis: Hee! Not laughing,
just... that's kinda the point of Travis, right? How could you not feel Darren's jealousy and hatred?
There's more to come in the story (obviously) and you've got about 6 more chapters to read out of
what I've published so far. It won't always go smoothly, but I hope you enjoy the ride and find the
story worth continuing, despite Travis.

I have read your stories and love most of them as others are not my thing.
I really like ahead of the curve as its very interesting and a heart breaker for true love.
Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words. AOTC has been a lot of fun to write.
A difficult emotional journey, for sure, but one I hope is worth following.

I'm enjoying "Ahead of the Curve" and looking forward to the rest of "Run". Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! I've been writing the concluding chapters of Run lately, hopefully I can finish it up
and get it published soon. Thanks for the patience!

Oh, man. You have got to continue to Chapter 11 and beyond.
This story is killing me. It is so sweet and sad at the same time.
I will hate to see it eventually end. Even make believe can tap at our hearts.
Thank you.
Thank you so much, Bruce!

I just finished reading this 10 chapter story for the second time.
As I was reading the 10th chapter, I was listening to some music from the '70's.
Just where Darren and Audrey are parting ways from her game the song,
Precious and Few by Climax came on.
Then Three dog's Night song An Old Fashioned Love Song started, and I
started to tear up. I have been around a very long time, 60 plus yrs,and I
have read a lot of your stories along with Chris Hailey's, must be old and
getting senile in my old age, but this story strikes very close to home for me, I
only hope that it doesn't end like mine, keep up the great work, I will read
the rest of this story, even if it creates emotions I thought were under control. Thanks
Wow! Thanks for sharing so much with me, Anonymous! It is deeply humbling to know this story
moved you so strongly. I will continue to update it and I really hope you enjoy how things
proceed. All my best to you and yours!

Hi Chase, just wanted to let you know that I'm really enjoying this story. But, I
have to ask, why did you have to make Gwen such a jealous bitch? I'm sure you have a
resolve in the storyline but I think as a parent I would have handled things a bit
differently. Not that I've ever been in that situation myself, just speculating.
Hi Mike, thank you!
When I started thinking about this story, before I began
writing it, I needed a foil of some sort to balance/contrast with Audrey. It made sense to
me that Gwen would be that foil. And, she's fifteen, so selfishness, moodiness,
irrationality, overreactions, etc., those all seem normal to me for her age as well as
given the shocking relationship she had to learn about.
This is a redemptive plot
arc, and not just for Darren, but perhaps, also for Gwen, as the last chapter or so has
begun to demonstrate.
Also, in addition to being a foil for Audrey, being a
selfish teen, and having a redemptive possibility, I still needed someone who kept this
from becoming a quickly-accepted romance that brought Audrey and Darren together early
before moving on to the second act. That isn't exactly the story as I envisioned it, so Gwen
was also the perfect disruptor, especially given the other roles she was playing.
Anyway, that's why Gwen is Gwen. I hope she comes off as plausible. I have no idea how I would
have handled that situation, myself, but then again, I would not have taken a fifteen-year
old girlfriend, either.

First, I agree totally with Mike and his
Renpet comparison. It is spot on.
You both rock at what you do.
OK, now to my main point for commenting. Damn you! You better put
Audrey and Darren back together! LOL Seriously tho, this is a fantastic story so
far. I hated the twist at the end of Chapter 9 concerning Audrey's actions, but I can
see her point. Gotta protect your heart. Cannot wait for Chapters 10 . Keep up the awesome work!
Many, many thanks! I definitely have been inspired by
Renpet and the way he has
carefully and specifically crafted both his characters and his plots. They are stories first,
and include characters who are unique agents within the plot. That makes them compelling reads long
before you get to the sex scenes. I try to do the same in most of my series. To me, it makes the
payoff scenes much more satisfying to have a context and motivations and struggles all mixed in to
arriving there.
Re: Chapter 9: :D No easy path for Darren and Audrey, that's for sure. More to
be revealed soon in the forthcoming chapters.

Hullo! Read "Ahead of the curve", what there is of it (seven chapters).
You don't believe in easy-made, easy-serve, do you? I find the characters
well-drawn, recognizable, and the same applies to the story-line. Mind you,
that was a very nicely-done cliff-hanger, that scene at the nightly swimming-pool.
It is anyone's guess how Gwen will act. Since she is a teenager (I don't write
"a normal teenager", since the word "normal" doesn't quite apply, either to Gwen's
age group as a whole, or to the situation you left your characters in), anything
is possible, including a tragic end in the morning involving a pair of Houston's
finest, Children's services and a huge to-do ... To change subjects, I'd like to
point out that, as an occasional cigar-smoker, I don't quite see lung-cancer is in
my future, since one doesn't inhale. Even the modern-day patron-saint of cigar
aficionados, Prof. Sigmund Freud did not get lung-cancer, but rather cancer of
the jaw-bone, and even that at a rather ripe age (mind you, he was a tough old
bird). As a cynic, I could probably wise-crack about taking my chances with tobacco
rather than with the US court system (like Darren would have to, if everything went
tail over teakettle), but let's not, it would draw attention away from your story,
and THAT would not do. Not at all.
Have a nice day (and take care
about your writing hand ...)
Thanks, Anon! Ahead of the Curve is definitely and intentionally not an 'easy-made,
easy-serve' story, even compared to some of my others. It is harsh, on purpose, and I
want to draw out this tale in a way which might be hard (or unpalatable) for readers to
consume. Often, my stories take shortcuts to get to the romance and sex, though I try not
to always make things too easy. This one, though, I wanted to take on a more organic and
tortured route. Hopefully, the story is worth the effort!
Re: cigars: Keep in mind
that Duncan admits to both cigars AND cigarettes. Plus, lung cancer is caused by things
other than smoking (though that is the primary cause, I believe.) Also,
anecdotes (such as Freud) do not say anything about the risks as a whole. For every Freud,
there is surely a guy who got lung cancer at thirty-five from cigarettes.

Love the story. Would it be insulting to say it puts me in mind of a
Renpet story.
It just seems very similar to his style. Great reading. Thanks.
Wow, Mike, thank you! That's about the best compliment you could give an author
in this genre.
Renpet is my
favorite writer on ASSTR and I love the way he carefully
crafts his stories and his characters. Thanks so much! I'm humbled by the comparison.
