Posting Schedule

For the immediate future, I will post chapters on:

  • Thursday, May 24
  • Saturday, May 26
  • Monday, May 28
All postings should take place by noon Eastern Daylight Time.  After that I hope to get back to daily postings.

Now is the time to give me input on what questions you still want answered.  I realize you want to know where Daniel is, but other than that?  What do I need to do to tie up loose ends for you?

  1. Okay, first off, I LOVE this story. Glad to know we are going back to reading again! Also glad you had a great time at Bamboozle.

    Second, as to your request about loose ends......I want to know how Richie and Dave will react when they find out about all that has gone on since the New Year. Do they know who Petey really is and if not, will telling them change anything (though I doubt it would, who can tell what goes on in the mind of an author looking for a twist). I also want a little resolution as the the way Carol behaved and if Jon will definitely back up Dot if she misbehaves. I hated that his mother was so mean to Tony. I could never see myself doing that to my children.

    Can't wait to see how this all plays out.

    1. In Chapter 87, we find that Richie is told:
      "Petey pushed the silly thought away and listened to the now familiar overview of her family connections, her work at the University, her former fiancĂ© and blackmail – all without mentioning the pictures. The only thing that made this call different from the previous ones was the heat creeping into Jon’s voice."

      So Richie knows most of it.

      The only thing we're sure that David knows is that she is a 'genius', from Chapter 88.

  2. Number 1, Daniel and what happens to him and if they get the pictures from him. Does he hurt someone else?

    Tony telling Dorothea exactly what his Mom said. I know she got some information from his mother but not from Tony himself, also how Tony went to see Matt and what he ended up doing that night. Jon needs to go and talk to his mother, after everything with Petey calms down.

    David's reaction to Petey and her whole family.

    Will we see a wedding in the near future?

    1. Part of these answers will come in the next chapter, and I'll add the rest to my list. Thanks!

  3. When you say tie up loose ends, it sounds ominously like the end is near. There is a lot more to this story, I hope. I want to see the real Petey emerge because I think it's somewhere inbetween goth and democrat!! I think her relationship with Jon will bring out the true Petey. I know this story has to end sometime or it will get stale and boring, but I hope not too soon and I hope you plan on writing more in the future. I've read We Weren't Born to Follow and it was amazing, and I'm a Jon girl!!!!!

    1. You're very kind, thanks! :) I don't know what the future holds yet. We shall see...

  4. After everything calms down with Daniel and that is over. Will we be seeing a new side to Petey and Jon? I like to explore their relationship more. They are a couple but so far, since becoming a couple they have only dealt with Daniel.

    The press and Jon/Petey.

    I would love to see them on the tour and her back to working for Tony again. How is it for them on the road, working and having a relationship? Does touring affect their relationship?

    How does touring affect Tony and Dorothea. She is used to it but in another chapter, Tony was saying how he is not used to leaving someone behind and was already starting to feel the pain. I would really love to see the couples on the road and back to Bon Jovi the band.

    The friendship between Dorothea and Petey, would like to see more of that.

  5. I hope that you are not thinking of bringing this to an end any time soon? There is so much to explore here. Jon and Petey and her whole family. When they were just getting to know each other, we didn't know who she was but now we do, does it change them? Jon loves Petey but she is a genius and part of the Kerry Family, does it make him feel insecure?

    I think Richie should play a bigger part in their relationship and rock the boat a little.

    Tony and Dorothea, love to see a different side to their relationship. What does he want for future, where is he planning to live now and does it get resolved with his parents? Jon needs to go and talk to his Mom about T and D and let her know that he supports them.

    The touring, is that still happening?

    1. I am thinking about ending it. Seems like it's lost its spark. It was supposed to originally end at the political fund raiser, and I wonder if I've made a mistake in letting it go on.

      I'll add your input to my little laundry list. Thanks for taking the time. :)

    2. That would be a terrible mistake!!! There's no way this story has lost its spark. There's lots of story left to tell. Maybe we are putting too much pressure on you and making you feel like you have to post everyday and that every chapter has to be awe inspiring. If that's the case, you don't need to worry. Every chapter doesn't have to be full of drama to keep our interest, and don't feel pressure to post everyday. Take your time and let the story tell itself. You have a true gift, thank you for sharing it with us. Beth

    3. This story has not lost it's spark, don't even think like that!! I would be so sad to see it go. I think as Beth said, it's a case of us putting too much pressure on you. We want a chapter everyday and when we do get one, we ask for another one? That has been bothering me lately. I see you every single day post a chapter but then see replies, can we get another one? I think it's too much for you. Just tell the story at your own pace. The only reason that we want so much is because it's a FANTASTIC story!!! there is no way that it's lost it's spark.

      Please don't end it soon, there is so much to tell. You can go in so many directions.

    4. I agree with the others there is so much more to tell. Politics with Jon Tour with Petey. Back to work for Tony.... Dottie and Tony..... Finally Richie and David need girls. LOL

    5. Tony back at work would be good and to see how Tony and Dorothea handle the separation of the tour. When she comes to visit, she is now visiting Tony, instead of Jon. How Jon handles Petey on the tour. Would he change when he is in a professional situation. Petey and Richie everyday together could change feelings for her towards him.

    6. Ok, you're getting my two cents too...this story is so sparkly it's not funny and you have not made one single mistake!! Blushy, look at all the comments you get - this story is clearly impacting us STILL! Don't make come over there!! :P

  6. No please don't end it!! It hasn't lost it's spark. There is still so much to tell. I know that it's up to you but I think this story has so much more to tell. I look forward to it everyday and can't wait to read the updates.

    As others have said, I want to know the outcome to Daniel. More into the relationship of Jon and Petey and more into Tony and Dorothea.

  7. A wedding would be nice to see for Tony and Dorothea or at least an engagement.

  8. I want the photos to be found and Daniel to get what he deserves.

    I want Petey then to even go ahead with what she develop and her get the credit for it.

    I want to see more of Jon and Petey and see him with a girlfriend and how he is with her. Them going on the tour, the band acting with Petey, the road crew around Petey and Jon. Tony being Petey's boss.

    I want so many things for Tony and Dorothea. To see their relationship tested by him being on the road. Him to tell her what happened with his mother and how it made him feel. Just the living Jon's life and trying to be Jon. As the previous poster said A WEDDING. Both had first marriages in Vegas, so it would be nice to see them get married on the beach or at the house. Not a long drawn out engagement but not a rush either. Just to see an ending and not leave it open, where we don't know what happens.

    I want a wedding for Jon and Petey too but seeing that Tony and Dorothea have been together longer (a year) I see a wedding more for them.

    I want, I want, I want!! - BELINDA

  9. Please don't end it! there is so much still there. Tony and Dorothea to deal with Carol. I'd love more Tony and Dorothea chapters. Jon still needs to introduce Petey to Carol. There's always the chance Jon's comfort with Petey's "style" isn't as good as he claims.

    1. I so agree. Carol should meet Petey without any prior explanations of who Petey is etc. That would make such a shining chapter (or two or five :-D ), when Carol finally is put to her place. And that would be the perfect juncture to sort out Carol's views of Tony and Dorothea, too, maybe... And I know that all good things come to an end eventually, although it's a pity they do. But I hope you already have another story brewing :-)

  10. There is still so much more to tell!! I just agree with everything that everyone has said. I want to see them on tour, I want to see Jon and Petey really interact as a couple. Go out to places, introduce themselves as boyfriend/girlfriend. Petey trying to fit into Jon's world.

    More sex scenes please between Jon and Petey and Tony and Dorothea. None of this, he took her by the hand and led her to the bedroom.....sometime later. I want details and I want to read about what is happening in the bedroom. I'm not coy, I am reading a fan fiction and I want more details. It's nice and sweet to read that Tony wants Dorothea but I want to read about what he is doing too.

    There is more spark to this story. So Much More!! - Maria

  12. Please do not end this story, that is all I have to say. There is much more to write.

  13. Love this story so far! Would love to see how they all are as couples once Daniel is out of the picture and once the tour starts. Can imagine it'll be easy for either one.

    Maybe a little of brother conflict in that the kids are torn btw daddy and uncle rules, etc.
