I just lost a real good friend of mine to a brain anuerism, and I have been trying to cope with his death and trying to write at the same time. The concentration hasn't been there. I am starting to feel a little better, and I promise that within the week, I will have Chapter 8-A ready to be posted. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding. It is hard losing someone that you have known for 10 years, but this person was quite young (fortyish). If this person had been my lover, I guess I would quit writing all together, but, then, who knows, maybe I would keep writing to honor his memory. You all have a great day, and watch my smoke. Bye for now Roger Beals Author Gay Tales From Richland Dave & I Rashad & Jason
