Morning all, mornin fellow Brits, mornin June. ;) ;)
Christie lets not forget one very important thing to look forward too in book 6....

QUOTE:
And for those of you wondering if the Saga is going to end... I am presently seriously considering a Book VI, which I am going to title "The Red Stallion", which will take place after the boys' vacation and revolve around life at the Red Stallion, its denizens and social life as Ennis and Ellery solemnize their relationship with a personal commitment ceremony to one another.QUOTE:


I cant WAIT for that to happen. I bet there will be a few tears then. I,m looking forward to finding out a bit more about Mr mysterious Dupree and his "love interest", that should be fun. Wayne and Pete with no spleen lol, Sally and Ben, but you know what? After book 6 finishes, you know what that means?? NO more updates!! :o :o :o :o OMG what on earth will we do then? Read it all again of course lol. Louise have you ever considered having LS published as a fanzine? I,ve recently bough SN by Jenna and it would be so lovely if you did the same. Leslie that picture is breathtaking. What beautifull scenery. Right off for some RL, :( c ya later peeps. xx

Hi Souxi

I know I had some concerns about the new book, only cos I love Ennis and Ellery so much, but i've read the first 2 and we've already had a lovely scene between our boys, so I'm happy!  I shouldn't have been so worried!  There are a lot of things to look forward to in this book, and I cant wait to read them!

I'm trying  hard not to think about the end of LS, but having it published as a fanzine would be a wonderful idea, wouldnt it?  I could have my very own copy of LS to keep and treasure - and to read over and over again - I can highlight all my favourite chapters  ;)

Hello!

I am sorry that Wayne is not in here .. I couldn't connect to Bettermost to get a pic of his saucy behind to add to the pic ..lol, so I'll be sure to add him to the next group photo ..  ;)

Hey, everyone,

I have enjoyed so much the insights from so many new readers. What wonderful reading!

Real life has rudely intruded into my time lately. My laptop started smoking from the keyboard last week, so I've had to make do with sharing the desktop with my son – much to his disgust. And there's a new issue with Apple's latest system upgrade creating major problems with third-party software. At least two of our three computers are affected. *Groan* If you own a Mac, DON'T download the latest upgrade!

Meanwhile, I found the last locations update in my profile. So here's what I've got so far.

since it never would occur to me to NOT have Ennis and Ellery as the central characters, I guess I missed out on concerns people might have had that I would write about the Red Stallion boys and leave them out!!!  Sorry for spooking everyone!

I'm sorry for having worries that you might leave them out!  I've just become so attached to Ennis and Ellery, and love reading about them.   :)

Thats not to say I dont love the other supporting characters, they are great too.
