Hello all … just giving you a heads up that the Thursday updates will be running a little today … I have the flu and am about to head off to the doctors.
I promise I’ll get to it just as soon as I can!
Take care.

Hello All. It seems like the week has just flown by, but nonetheless I still have some updates for you all!
Before I get into that, however, I just wanted to thank everyone (yes, again! lol) for your continued support! Last Thursday we once again lifted the count for our “best day ever”, which now sits at 1609 page views for a day, while our overall count is closing in on 200,000 page views for this site. You guys rock!
Now, for this week I once again have three more chapters of A Good Place to share with you, while I also have something old that is getting a new lease on life!
Some of you who have been with me for quite a while may (or may not! lol) remember a story from my old site called The Prisoner of Carronne! At the time I started it I had also started Mardi Gras Murders. Both stories were cast aside there for a few years while I wasn’t writing, but now that MGM has been finalised, completing Prisoner was my next target.
I have now re-written the original chapters and fixed all the errors I found, and am happy to post the first two chapters of this story for you today.
I hope you enjoy them! 🙂

PS … I’m still working on those new Thompson River Tales stories, but will get them posted just as soon as they are ready to go! 🙂

Howdy folks, and welcome to this week’s updates!

I have three new chapters for you of A Good Place, and the final two revised chapters of After We Danced. 🙂

I’ve also been working on a couple of story ideas to add to the Thompson River Tales series, so hopefully I will have at least one new tale to add to that series next week! 😉

Take care, and enjoy your reading!

Well folks … you’ve done it again!
It seems that every week after the new postings we’re getting more and more readers, as our new record for the number of page views in a day is now 1524 page views!
Thank you all so much for your continued support of the website!!!

Howdy folks. Yep, it’s that time of the week again!
Today I’ve posted three new chapters of A Good Place for you, along with three revised chapters of After We Danced.
Please enjoy!

Well folks, you’ve done it again!
Yesterday’s posts generated 1408 page views on the website . . . which is a new biggest day ever for the site!
Thank you all so much for your continued support! It really means a lot to me that so many of you keep coming back!
Thanks also for your comments and your emails, all of which I find to be quite humbling. I just hope that I can continue to provide you with thoughtful and enjoyable stories for a while to come!
Thanks again!

Hello folks! Well, it’s Thursday yet again, so it’s time for some new chapters!

Three new chapters for A Good Place and three revised chapters for After We Danced have now been added!

Enjoy!

Well folks, you’ve blown me away … or should I say, you’ve blown the record away! Yesterday was our biggest day so far on ponyboysplace.com, with 1357 page views! It is very satisfying knowing that there are so many folks out there who are still enjoying what I am posting. Thank you!

Thank you also for the feedback I am continuing to receive, either in comments on here, or by email.

When I set out to write A Good Place — which was actually two years ago now — I simply wanted to wrap up the series that began with After We Danced, just to see what happened to all the guys ten years down the track. Once I started writing, however, it soon became evident that I would need to exceed the original 10,000 or so words that I thought I would need. I did end up quite surprised that it took me another 170,000 words before I finished the story, but in the end it was a story I enjoyed writing and was quite happy to put out there for everyone to read.

Many of you have come up with your own ideas and made suggestions about what should happen and where the story should go, which I have enjoyed reading. Just keep in mind though, that the story is already complete and was written two years ago, so you might just have to wait a little while to see how far off the mark your suggestions might be! 😉

Anyhow, seeing as you’ve all been so good to me I thought I’d give you a little present, by posting another chapter!

Thank you all so much for your support! You’re the best readers a guy could ask for!

Hi folks . . . it’s that time of the week again! lol

New for you today are five new chapters … two for A Good Place and three for After We Danced.

Enjoy!

Well folks, I was worried I might not get them posted in time, but I’ve finally managed to get it done … and even with a couple of hours to spare! lol

If you’re wondering why I’ve chosen Thursday as my day for posting, well, it’s because it is a day when I don’t usually work, which gives me some time to do other things. Today, however, I had to work, so I had to leave it until tonight before I could get started on the updates.

So, that having been said, I can now let you know that three more chapters of A Good Place have now been posted for you. I hope you enjoy them!

I have also begun the process of posting the revised version of After We Danced, with the first three chapters of this, my first story, also being posted here.

As I have said previously, my intentions are simply to make some corrections to my earlier stories via re-writes and edits, specifically so that I could then update this site with the new versions, as well as work toward (eventually) having a small print-run done of each story. I don’t think you will notice too many changes, as I have tried to keep the changes to a minimum, while also trying to ensure that the feel of the stories don’t change, but I have felt for a long time that the fixes were definitely necessary.

Once I finish posting the new version of After We Danced I will then start with the other early stories; The Rip, Song For Guy and Thompsonville, which will bring this entire series up to date! 🙂

Then after that . . . let’s just say I have a whole list of unfinished stories that I want to complete! Looks like I’m going to be busy for a while yet! 😉

Take care everyone! And happy reading!
