Sasha Distan Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Cowboy Summer hello people, so i thought i'd open up a topic for Cowboy Summer, which is currently 4 chapters long and getting longer. i predict about 10 chapters. The story follows Rhydian, doomed to spend the summer alone on a Western Ranch in North California after his sister drops out to go to uni early. Through his friendship with the two young men who run the ranch Sam and Caleb, and his building relationship with 'his' horse Shura, Rhydian grows from a teenager into a balanced young man. Kitt is Beta-ing and doing a fabulous job of it. she's fab. and LW (Leathery Wings) found a picture which looks just like Sam and a horse called Boy Latte. neat huh? Updates are (roughly) bi-weekly.
Kitt Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 And I love to talk horses, rodeo, and guys so feel free to drop questions or comments that might be in my ballpark.
bayoudreamn Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 WooHoo!! Great Story, Sasha!! Thanks for doing the tough work, Kitt!! I love this.....keep on going!!!!!
Sasha Distan Posted July 14, 2013 Author Posted July 14, 2013 WooHoo!! Great Story, Sasha!! Thanks for doing the tough work, Kitt!! I love this.....keep on going!!!!! I will keep on going, don't worry. just got a bit sidetracked by Unexpected Liasons that's all...
Sasha Distan Posted August 28, 2013 Author Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) OK, after a significant break we are back. i'm sorry, but i had to, you know, get married, and then clear my back catalogue. i promise that Rhyder and his team have my undivided attention until the story is done. hopefully we're going to go back to one update a week on a friday, but to make up for lost time and the fact that i was rubbish, this week you get two. so you had chapter 7 - Back in the Saddle - yesterday. and because I'm so damn nice, you get another chapter tomorrow.

Sasha Distan Posted September 1, 2013 Author Posted September 1, 2013 new update schedule, because i got ahead of myself: Monday's and Thursday's
amBIguoustwo Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Noooooooo! It can't be over! I love your writing, but this story in particular. The characters and story development were wonderful. I was on pins and needles waiting to learn what would be the result of his trip back to England. And, the way you led us in the last chapter to think he was with Jase! Brilliant. Thanks for sharing your writing. Bryan

Bryan You are very welcome. all good things should end while they are still good my friend, and this is one of them. personally, i think we've done rather well for a 70k novel which had nothing but one scribbled timeline page in my notebook as it's planning. oh yeah, i'm so organised...
Suvitar Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I really love this story. Great characters, brilliant writing and just enough drama with plenty of love and happiness. 2
Sasha Distan Posted October 18, 2013 Author Posted October 18, 2013 I really love this story. Great characters, brilliant writing and just enough drama with plenty of love and happiness. thanks Suvi! I think that's such a lovely description. "just enough drama" tehehe 1
Daddydavek Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 I wanted to thank you for this story but I was a little disappointed that Rhyder didn't end up with Bryce. I know I am sentimental. The idea of them attending different schools and deciding not to try to maintain a long distance relationship is understandable and realistic, just not as romantic as I hoped. 1

The idea of them attending different schools and deciding not to try to maintain a long distance relationship is understandable and realistic, just not as romantic as I hoped. i understand. but for me, the big romance in the story isn't the one between Rhyder and Bryce, that was sort of accidental anyways. the biggest relationship in the story, is between Rhyder and Shura, and Rhyder and himself as he grows. i didn't really mean for them to break up, it sort of wrote itself that way. you're secretly a big softy aren't you DDK? 1
Headstall Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 I just wanted to commend you for " Don't Shout ". I read it for the second time and highly recommend it for anyone who loves genuine characters and true love....rereading Cowboy summer is next....cheers...Gary 1
Headstall Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Just finished rereading Cowboy Summer..in the review I left I forgot to say how much I would love some sort of sequel...just sayin... 1
Kitt Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Gary! Sasha gets quite enough ideas of his very own! If you go putting more ideas in his head I will never be able to keep up with him! 2
Headstall Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Gary! Sasha gets quite enough ideas of his very own! If you go putting more ideas in his head I will never be able to keep up with him! HaHa Kitt...sorry.. but not really. I love his writing so much that I think he should be chained to his keyboard and only let out to eat and pee...oh yeah...and shower! Besides...I loved, loved, loved Cowboy Summer.....it had hot guys who were all about love AND horses...my two favorite things....you can just work on your speed ...cheers..Gary 3
Kitt Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Careful there Gary - you wouldn't want to end up like the Garth Brooks song and come back in the next life as a saddle! At the rate Sasha already writes my boss at the barn ( Yes I run the office of a 50 horse boarding and lesson facility) is upset that I cant give him more hours a day than I already do! Like 10 hrs a day isn't enough for anyone! 2
Headstall Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Maybe if I came back as Keith Urban's saddle it wouldn't be so bad :P . No wonder I like you Kitt...you're a fellow horseperson! Well now I really am torn. How about you get an assistant at the barn and I get more Sasha? That works...don't ya think? Good riding and may you always have the wind at your back . Cheers...Gary 1

Cheers...Gary first you'll have to fund me so i can quit the day job. imagine if I didn't also teach full time - how much writing could i get done then? 1
Kitt Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Hmmm - work for me at the barn? I can arrange free time when ideas strike to make notes! 2
Headstall Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 first you'll have to fund me so i can quit the day job. imagine if I didn't also teach full time - how much writing could i get done then? , If I could i would...but retired, fixed income,and all that..not possible...but if I ever win the Lotto....I would be your Patron ....cheers...Gary...PS...reading and enjoying Summer Camp right now... 1
Headstall Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Hmmm - work for me at the barn? I can arrange free time when ideas strike to make notes! I knew you could work things out Kitt...remember..It's all about me ....cheers..Gary
