Marquesate added a status update: Very much back on track with editing and writing - in that order, because TA and I realised through the insight of The Reader that we needed more "in between" while editing.

“He loves you and he always will, but he's too broken right now to see it.”
Marquesate

“Opening the door, he nearly did a double take into the mirror behind
him.
Hooch. Hooch, pushing his shades back up onto his head, and re-shouldering the bergan. Hooch, standing in the doorway.
“Been thinking.”
Two words, more than usual.
“Been around a bit.”
Six, speech worthy of a national holiday.
“Looking for a station now.”
Eleven, whole fucking fireworks.
"Central station.”
Thirteen, and the heavens came down for Matt.
“You still offering?”
Sixteen, and the world stopped spinning.
Matt stood thinking for a while, not a muscle in his face twitched. Then
stepped aside, gestured the other man to follow him. Closed the door.
“One condition.”
Hooch’s brows rose for a split second.
Matt broke into a grin at last, which threatened to split his face. “Promise
not to talk too much.”
Marquesate, Special Forces

“Aye, and for now, would you mind if I get you out of your clothes and wrap myself around you? It's medicinal you know? For your stitches...and my knee...and, I guess, all the rest of us.”
Marquesate

Do that, I shall not disappoint. Give me camo any day.

Don't worry, I shall never write about anything but soldiers. They are the only type of men I find hot enough to write about. I can't stand suits and the men in them, so uniforms it shall be. :-p


Boycop Thanks for accepting the friends request. Keep on writing! And please, about soldiers. There just aren't enough good soldier stories in this world.


Marquesate It's not in the books yet, because the cover art isn't finished yet, and I'm one of those peeps who don't like the blank cover thinger.

Soon! promised.


Lauraadriana Thanks for the add! Very EXCITED about Matt and Hooch's story. VERY VERY much looking forward to it. You should add it here on GR I couldn't find it in your books!
