A Gallant story, Josh Gallant!!  :)

I appreciate all the thoughtful comments. It helps me keep going when I don't fee like writing, which is most of the time. I have to work. But nothing gets done unless you do it.

I think I mentioned I have the ending in my mind already. We just have to get there.


Next years story will be called "Clash of the Titans"

More adventures with The Archer, his daughter and of course, Husky. I'll think that one up while elk hunting this fall. Already have some ideas... ;0)

I wish I knew someone in the printing biz! How great would it be to be sitting on a mountain side hunting for any Elk and reading this story from start to finish? Pretty great in my opinion! Thanks agian JHG. Mike

I plan to publish the story, so please refrain from taking it to a printer.

I'm still copy and pasting each installment into a word document... up to about 8-9 pages already! LOL...

Great thing about getting older is till this is done and all copied, I can go back and start reading it all over and it will be brand new.

Monarch is a Bully. Sounds as if no one has taught him to share  :readit:  


Great Story, I could see this playing out and yearn to do so.
Relax,

Nobody or nothing fights to lose!! Lets get this off the third page and up top where it belongs! Oh yea ......great job, it gets better and better!   :notworthy:    :campfire:    :coffee:
