Taking Chances, by E. L. Van Hine and L.H. Nicoll

I'm all caught up! Finally.

Even though the story is familiar (well the broad story lines), it's very interesting to read and see what what changes were made because this is now Colson's and Ellery's story.
It's fun to have a 'hey, that's new!' moment reading the new story.

SPOILERISH




*sigh* I love it that Ellery calls Colson 'sweetheart' right from the beginning...

*slog slog slog* several geographical research hours later....

Leslie is doing the edits on Chapter 39 and here are some photographic views of the Escudilla:

first:

Escudilla Mountain, Apache County, Arizona, the third highest peak in Arizona, in the White Mountains.





second, the wild blue sage that Colson puts on Adam's grave near near the highest point of the Escudilla:

Yes, I can imagine there would be some new research involved.  Thanks for the gorgeous pictures, Louise.  I can see it perfectly:  Colson Grey in the White Mountains with the wild blue sage. 

That was an achingly beautiful chapter.  I wonder if Adam ever did work for his father again.  And what Colson did immediately upon returning to to his "regular" life. 

And a big thank you to Editor-in-Chief, Leslie, too.   

Looking forward, as always,
Marie

I did! After a day of running around, doing a million errands and what not, a chapter like this is just what i need! 'Holy god, Lord a mighty' indeed! 


Thank you L & L!

Okay, I'm caught up, too!       Whew!   

And yeah, Fabienne - good catch on the "sweetheart" thing - I do believe Ellery has fallen into that almost immediately - and I haven't noticed any objections from Colson - of course, he hasn't done it in public yet! 

Keep 'em coming!

Thanks,
Marie

Here's a recent shot of Hugh in his role as a hunky drover (Aussie cowboy) on the set of the film he is shooting up in Queensland.
