Generation 4 – Chapter 3
Waking up the morning after the disastrous dinner party Electra let out a loud groan. She had hoped the entire thing was a dream, but unfortunately she was back to reality. The modelling shoot she had been so apprehensive over now seemed like a blessing, it gave her an excuse to get out of the house for a few hours. Jumping out of bed she jogged to the bathroom, hoping not to wake Ryan. After brushing her hair, which she was thinking of dying once more soon, she padded into her walk-in-wardrobe and put on a tiny pair of denim shorts and a plain black vest. After slipping into a pair of cowboy boots she had picked up at a vintage store on Baywood she was ready to go.
Riding in the elevator up the huge monolith of glass after the short subway ride Electra felt excitement more than nerves, sure she she had been a little apprehensive over the shoot, she was a 19 year old being photographed by a famous fashion house. Despite her reservations she was still more than willing to give it her all now that she was there, and throwing open the double doors in front of her she stepped into the studio. A rail of clothes flew past her carried by an ematicated helper in four inch stilettos, a random photographer took a candid shot of her, and three makeup girls rushed past into the next room, where a much more famous rock star was also having a photoshoot.
Looking around the room she spotted Marc, stood in the shooting area on the huge white sheets which covered the walls and floor, engaged in conversation with the photographer. He was evidently telling some sort of joke because the man kept bursting out in laughter.
"Slim!" Marc shouted, noticing her bright purple hair from a mile off, and admiring her legs in the tiny shorts as she crossed the room. After introducing himself with a peck on each cheek the photographer went to prep his cameras, giving Marc the room to embrace her in a tight hug.
"Still recovering from last night?" He asked with a laugh as he thought about the dinner party.
"You're the one who should be recovering!" She replied, grabbing his arm to look for the mark, fortunately Maud's violence had only left four tiny dots.
"Yeah, yeah, I'ma big boy, I'll be fine. You excited to be a model!?" He said with a theatrical gasp, causing her to break out in laughter, he never took anything seriously, which was one of the reasons they got along so well.
"Yeah, totally." She joked back, "I'm just doing it to get out the word on the band."
"Come on lovebirds, let's get started!" The photographer, Lorenzo, shouted, now in position. Electra wasn't phased by the lack of hair and makeup, this was her and she was happy with it. "This is a natural shoot honeys, don't worry you both look divine, love suits you!" Lorenzo said, not really noticing that neither of them cared. "So you're the two who are dating, right?" He asked as he began snapping away.
"No!" Electra said at the same time as Marc's "Yes!" She looked at him in shock, but he only grinned back.
"Get into it, pose for me!" Lorenzo shouted, shooting away. "Fabulous!" He said as they struck pose after pose. He eventually came up with quite a few shots he liked, they were both naturals. After a rather slow start the two of them had gotten right into it, posing without any embarrassment. Neither of them took themselves too seriously, Electra had grown up with the pompous air which Olive employed all around her – and hated it. Unfortunately Lorenzo had skipped the shots of them sticking their tongues out and dancing, he was a more serious guy.
It was over before it had even begun, and Electra was surprised to learn she loved it! It had been the easiest thing in the world to fall into a few poses, it wasn't as if they were high fashion models being exposed to the world, the fashion house had simply thought they had style and were going places, and that it would be good to give them a photoshoot so their name could get out there a little more – hopefully they would remember it when they made it.
"So, what's your story – who are you – where'd ya come from – all that jazz." The photographer said, whipping out a pad as Electra looked at Marc with an amused glance, he knew she hated interviews, she had seen her mother be misconstrued so badly in the press and didn't want her opinions being twisted to suit the needs of the interviewer.
"I'm Marc, this is Slim, and the other members of the band are Ryan and Sammy. Newly formed and trying to make it on the Bridgeport scene. That's about it." Marc said, taking the edge of the tiny interview with a big grin. They didn't want to ride off the Belgravia name, and referring to Electra by her nickname helped to cover who she was – it wasn't exactly a secret, she just didn't talk about it.
"Hmph. Well – good luck, I better go see to the star next door." He said with an imperious tone, and left the room. The two of them were alone now, and for some reason Electra felt a sexual tension in the room, she had no idea where it was coming from, Marc was purely a friend.
"So, you enjoyed it then? You looked hot." Marc said, knowing that she had liked the experience as much as he had. He was close to her now, closer than what her mother said 'was appropriate' and she found herself a little put out, although she'd never let Marc know that.
"Loved it, how about you?." Electra asked, moving back a few steps trying to get out of range from his glinting, flirting eyes. As much as he enjoyed flirting with her Marc also felt he could relate to her – got the problems with Maud, having a rather troubled mother himself. Luckily his father was still around to take care of her, so he didn't have as much responsibility as Ryan, but he knew sometimes you just needed to get away, and that's what he wanted to do for Electra.
"Wanna hit the clubs?" He became flirtatious again as he spoke, causing Electra to look down a little shyly. She and Ryan had been monogamous since they started dating, but she had flirted (and more) a lot before she met him, it was kind of a kick to do it again.
"C'mon, as friends." Marc could sense that she was enjoying the slight flirting, but knew it would upset her if she thought this was some sort of date – she really did love Ryan, just couldn't deal with his dysfunctional mother right now.
"I can't, Sebastian's friends from school have flown in and are staying at the loft, we're having a little party tomorrow, I'll see you there about 8." She gave him a friendly peck on the cheek before dashing out of the door. Oddly she felt wildly excited by the attention Marc had shown her, Ryan had been so caught up with his mother lately she had felt a little neglected. The arrival of Sebastian's friends was a welcome one, lately it had been show after show after show, where they didn't really get a chance to experience the night properly, followed by hours fretting over Ryan and Maud. She was desperately excited for the house to be full of people, things had became awkward between her and Ryan lately and she just couldn't bare another night with him and Maud. Coming out of the building her mood was ruined by the sight of her mother – locked in embrace with a man who definitely wasn't Marcus – across the street.
Even from such a far distance Electra was blinded by the huge diamond on Olive's finger which caught the light in a dazzling show, the ruby in the centre seeming to cast its own aura. This was probably Olive's new husband, how could Electra be surprised?
Electra, Sebastian, Ricky, and Nate all walked into the apartment in an amazing mood after a few hours down at The Polo Club. While not great friends with the two boys Electra had known them socially from school back in Redcliffe, they were fun, carefree and glamorous, with six-goal handicaps and deep suntans from spending the past 12 months jetting around the world playing polo on the fields of Argentina, Palm Beach, Deauville, and England. Electra was glad that before she had met up with her brother and the boys she had booked herself an appointment to strip the purple from her hair, everything that wasn't black had clashed horribly with it and it would have made her look so out of place. While she liked doing her hair crazy for the shows, it just wasn't for her to have it like that at all times.
"Great flat Electra – oh it's Slim now, right?" Ricky said with a smile as he looked around the loft.
"Call me whatever!" Electra replied as she poured them all massive vodka and oranges in the kitchen, simultaneously looking around for any sign of Ryan – or more pressingly, Maud.
"You need a dog in here, mans best friend you know." Nate informed the group as he flopped onto the sofa after depositing their polo sticks in Electra's bedroom, rubbing a bruise under his breeches were Electra had rapped him with her mallet during their match.
"We were thinking of getting one, weren't we sis?" Sebastian shouted to Electra as leafed idly through a book on thoroughbreds.
While Electra had no difficulty in leaving life with Olive behind, Sebastian, who had always been far more attuned to that lifestyle than his sister, still missed it. He still wore his Ralph Lauren shirts, visited art galleries full of Old Masters (which he could have seen much closer up if he had visited one of Olive's many homes, which were loaded with them), and went to the Polo Club a few times a week to play on a horse he rented, as all of his own had been left at Belgrave Ranch. He had an ability to get on with anybody, but it was good for him to have Ricky and Nate around, his two best friends from school; they were similar to Sebastian, he felt he could be himself more around them.
"Need any help?" Ricky asked in his English accent as he approached Electra at the bar. He had always admired Sebastian's sister, and thought she was looking better than ever lately.
"Sure, take these over will you?" Ricky took the two drinks Electra had already made and delivered them to Nate and Sebastian, who were discussing the first chukka.
"How's your music going anyway?" Ricky asked Electra, only half heatedly listening as she replied, all Ricky listened to were the evening racing results and occasionally The Beatles. He was more interested in looking at her.
"Where's that boyfriend you mentioned?" He continued, hoping that Ryan, who Electra had mentioned briefly during their game earlier, wouldn't make an appearance so he would have a shot at Electra.
"Oh – I dunno." Electra replied, a little sadness in her voice. She had joined Ricky on the bar-stools now, and listened as he told her a little about his year, it sounded so fun and interesting, all she had done was a few gigs which hadn't gotten them any recognition from a recording company.
"Look – I'm positive you'll get recognition soon enough. Anyway, if you don't you could always come join us on the field, my patrons always looking for great looking, really good girl players to sponsor, they add such a higher level to the games." Ricky lingered for a while over the words 'great looking', his disarming eyes staring at her with lust – she looked away.
"How the hell did you manage to get to six so soon?" Sebastian asked Nate as they sat together on the sofa. While he may have missed some parts of his old life, he still enjoyed the one he was living – he loved the loft, and being Revolutionis' manager, he just wished more was happening. No matter how hard he tried he just couldn't get record companies interested in the band, making him feel like a failure.
"Jesus! Have I walked into a prep school?" They all looked up from their positions on the various sofas as Sammy walked unannounced into the loft, looking the polar opposite of the four of them, who hadn't bothered to change from their polo clothes, in her all black outfit, with her sunglasses on and a cigarette between her fingers.
"Hey Sam!" Electra threw Sammy a smile, remembering not to jump up and hug her – Sammy hated physical contact.
"Whatsup?" Sammy replied as she flopped onto the sofa next Nate, in Sebastian's old seat. "Saw your mom in the paper today," she said to Sebastian and Electra, "got herself married again." Sammy flipped through a pile of CD's which were piled up on the end table as she spoke, looking for something more to her liking as Sebastian and Electra exchanged amused glances – so the man Olive had been with was a husband number four.
"Who the heck is she?" Ricky asked Electra, a little put out by Sammy's appearance.
"Our keyboard player." She replied with a laugh, in a way his reaction reminded her of the night she took Sebastian to his first bar, he had acted so conservative before then, out of the bedroom that is.
"Why are you guys dressed like idiots anyway?" Sammy asked as she took a drag on her cigarette, opening the pack up to Nate who took one for himself.
"Polo." Nate replied as he lit the cigarette, passing the box back to Sammy.
"Ugh! I should have known. I always forget you two," she waved airily at Electra and Sebastian, "are thoroughbred blue bloods. Must have got it from your mom, have you heard who she's marrying?" She asked, pausing dramatically, "Charles freakin' Peredin-Bauer, governor of Bridgeport." Sammy shook her head in amazement.
"Really?" Ricky asked casually, "he plays polo with my father sometimes when we're over here, quite a nice man."
"You gotta be kidding me." Sammy said, laughing. "Anyway, where's Marc? Oh and Ryan?" She said, just noticing that Ryan wasn't here as she had expected him to be.
"Marc just text me, he's on his way." Sebastian said, hardly looking up from the book which he had quickly became engrossed in.
"And I'm right here." Ryan said as he walked into the room. Electra jumped up and ran over to him, she was thrilled that Maud was nowhere in sight.
"How was your day?" She asked, moving in for a kiss. He turned his head to the side so it landed not on his lips as she had planned, but his cheek.
"Moms not doing so good, I better go call her." He spoke softly, hardly looking at Electra.
"Whats wrong?" Electra was hardly Maud's biggest fan – but she was Ryan's biggest fan. "You can tell me." She stared at him, hoping for answers. He merely looked away, taking in the guests.
"That's her boyfriend?" Ricky asked Nate, who had moved to sit next to him, "I was expecting a lot more, I mean, why's he being so blunt? She's gorgeous…" He looked at Electra, with the same lust in his eyes as he had shown earlier.
"Where's he going?" Nate asked as they watched Ryan move behind the rooms partition, where he pulled out his phone and immediately called Maud. Ricky quickly looked over at Electra, it had been the first time she had really smiled in hours when she embraced Ryan, only Ricky saw her features fall into dismay before she took a deep breath and pulled herself together.
"Arsehole." Ricky muttered.
"Don't hang up!" Ryan could be heard shouting from the dining area. Maud, who wouldn't tell him where she was or who she was with, had slammed the phone down on him. He could feel the emotions churning inside of him, he felt desperately guilty for not giving Electra more attention recently, she had been so patient and understanding, but it must be getting frustrating. He simply didn't want to upset her with all of Maud's troubles, he would deal with them – it had always been that way. With a resolute sigh he began dialing her number again, he would call her all night if it would keep her away from drugs.
"Hey guys!" Marc's unrelenting cheer raised Electra's spirits a little as he walked into the loft. Giving him a friendly peck on the cheek she crossed the loft and went to the bedroom, locking the door firmly behind her.
"I see it's polo season." Marc continued, shaking hands with Ricky and Nate, who instantly liked him far better than Ryan.
"Nice to meet you all. Where's Liberty?" He asked as he looked around the room, which now contained Sebastian, who was sat on a chair still engrossed in his book, Ricky and Noah, who were having an in depth conversation about ways to get their sponsor to give them more money, and Sammy, who, having been left alone on the sofa, was chain smoking while talking animatedly into her cell phone.
"You asshole! I'll tell everyone how you like to dress up in my panties!" Sammy screamed in to the phone as she jumped up from the sofa, "you think I won't? Watch me!" She kept him on the line as she turned to the group and burst out laughing. "Everyone, you should know my now ex-boyfriend really loves dressing up in my panties!"
"Interesting!" Laughed a voice which rose above the other whoops of laughter. "How is everyone?" Liberty smiled as she crossed the room, the expansive and intimate smile that had today won her a three-part guest role on a medical drama.
"Hel-lo! And who are you?" Nate said, jumping up from the sofa and kissing her hand, causing her to break out in giggles.
"She's my girlfriend, so hands off." Sebastian said with a grin as he enveloped Liberty in a huge hug before planting a long, lingering kiss on her lips.
"You always did get the pretty ones." Nate said, sitting back down. Now that Sammy had broken up with her boyfriend he decided to have a try with her.
"Oh Liberty, nice to see you!" Electra said as she came back from the bedroom, no one clocked onto the fact that her makeup was completely fresh, having washed it all away with her tears. Liberty grabbed Electra's hand and dragged her onto the sofa next to Sammy, where she started to fill the group in on her audition. Marc grabbed Sebastian while the rest of the group were preoccupied and pulled him to the side.
"Listen man, I gotta ask you something." Marc spoke quickly, nervous that the conversations going on across the room would lull and everyone would hear him.
"What is it?" Sebastian replied, worried that something was seriously wrong.
"Well – it's Slim." Marc blurted out as Sebastian looked at him in shock, "I can't stop thinking about her, I haven't ate, I haven't slept, I mean I haven't even had a smoke since we finished the photo shoot yesterday!" Sebastian laughed, as if breaks from cigarettes made it so serious.
"Look – she loves Ryan." Sebastian replied evenly, resisting an urge to punch Marc in the face, I mean this was his sister he was talking about.
"I know, I know, but they haven't been getting on recently, we've all noticed it you must have too. Ryan's just so preoccupied, it's that god-damn bitch of a mother of his, I could make her happy!" Marc was getting excited now, thinking how much of a better boyfriend he'd be to Electra.
"Just leave it, okay? If Electra," – Sebastian never did get into the habit of using his sisters nickname – "and Ryan aren't meant to be then yeah, maybe you'll have a chance. But don't break their relationship apart, its not fair to Ryan." Marc and Sammy were sick of Ryan's mood lately, but Sebastian saw past it – he knew he was going through a rough patch and tried to be understanding about it.
From his position on the chesterfield Ricky had heard most of what Marc was saying – Nate had been staring at Liberty the entire time, oblivious to everything. If Marc was making a play for Electra he had to beat him too it, he had planned on waiting until their relationship had broken apart – it was clear it was about to, then moving in on her, but if Marc was playing dirty, he would too.
"And then they told me I had the part!" Liberty exclaimed happily, finishing her audition story, only slightly put out that Ryan was pacing up and down behind her waiting for Maud to call back.
As the night wore on the small party got wilder, the drinks on empty stomachs had made everyone quite giddy, and when Marc suggested dancing they all – well, most of them – were more than up for it.
Sammy, who had found Nate far to upper class and far too full of himself earlier in the day, was now very susceptible to his considerable charms, and had even allowed him to dance with her. Granted he was doing more of a 'dad dance' than her wild moves, but the way he was looking at her made her forget all about it.
Sebastian, who loved to get lose at the Revolutionis gigs, was showing off some of his dance moves, causing everyone to burst out laughing as he went from move to move, laughing his handsome head off.
Even Ricky, usually appearing very macho by refusing to dance, got up and shook his lean hips a little, he couldn't help himself, hanging around with Sebastian and Electra's friends had loosened him up considerably, he felt he could relax more than he could with the trust fund babies who he usually hung around with.
The only two people who weren't having fun were Ryan and Electra. Hidden from the group by the rooms partition, their voices blocked by the extra loud music, no one knew what was going on.
"Just tell me what's wrong Ryan, please. All I want to do is help!" Electra said, her sympathy breaking a little as she became more and more annoyed at his guarded nature.
"Leave it Electra!" He shouted back, resisting the urge to strike her, his mother had done it to him growing up and it had always worked, but he had vowed never to hit a woman.
"Oh for god sake!" Electra screamed back, finally losing her temper, "its all Maud's fault! Why can't you just check her into a clinic or something?! If you're worried about the money I can pay for it! She needs help!"
"You're so fucking selfish! She's my mother and I'm gonna be there for her, we don't need your charity!"
"Ryan, please!" She shouted back, becoming more frustrated by the second. Was Arielle right when she said the money would drive them apart? All she wanted to do was help!
"JUST LEAVE IT! Don't ask me to chose between you and my mother because guess what – you'll lose!"
"I – I wasn't…" Electra muttered, shocked at how angry he was getting. What was it about his damn mother?!
"I'm out of here, I'll be out searching for my mother – enjoy your damn party!" He shouted back, beginning to storm out of the loft.
"Ryan…" She reached out her hand, hoping he would just turn around and take it, but he didn't. He stormed out of the loft, slamming the door behind him. Feeling utterly selfish and guilty Electra sloped off to her bedroom, she felt like it was all her fault, if she could have just kept sucking it up everything would have been okay, she knew all about bad relationships from Olive, she should have been an expert at having one of her own.
A few minutes after Ryan had stormed out of the apartment Ricky noticed Electra's absence. He had seen her stood with Ryan earlier, although he couldn't hear anything they were saying over the music. Sauntering towards the dining area, a little tipsy, he started shouting her name, ready to get her to join in.
"Eee-leeeect-raaa?!" He said with a grin as he walked around, illogically checking if she was hiding under the table or behind plants – he was drunker than he thought.
"Where is she hiding?" He mumbled to himself with a laugh as he made his way into her bedroom. Taking a quick look around he was about to leave when he heard a muffled sob from the closet. Taking a closer look he saw the huddled figure of Electra, she had pulled the privacy curtain across and was sobbing into her arms. Suddenly he felt completely sober.
"Electra… are you okay?" He asked, keeping beyond the curtain.
After a few minutes of her sobbing he decided something had to be done.
"I'm coming in, okay?" Hearing no response from her he took it as a yes, and entered the closet. With a groan he eased his aching limbs onto the ground next to her, polo season took it out of him. Then he began to talk. He just spoke about what he knew – polo. He told her of the glamorous girls who tried to bag him in Palm Beach, of playing with the Prince of Wales in England, and how difficult it was sometimes – he refused to take his billionaire fathers money, insisting on paying for everything for himself, which made it extremely difficult, but made him feel a thousand times prouder.
Very slowly, after talking to her for an hour or so, Electra came around. Looking up into Ricky's eyes she smiled – a weak smile, but a smile nonetheless – she was so grateful, he had been so nice to her.
"It'll be okay." Ricky said with a slightly stronger smile. He didn't let on that he had never wanted to kiss someone so much, she was so radiantly beautiful, even in her vulnerability.
"Thanks for staying with me, you didn't have to." Electra said, wiping away the smudged mascara on her face as they both hauled themselves up off the floor. Looking into Ricky's eyes after almost stumbling on the way up she felt she was safe, he was so nice.
They embraced in a totally natural hug, both feeling as if it was right, and as they pulled away Electra didn't back off, and neither did he. She closed her eyes and moved in to kiss him, he was just showing too much kindness for her not too. Watching the tantalizingly full lips moving towards him Ricky had to exert every ounce of self control to pull away. He wanted her more than he had ever wanted a woman, and despite his thoughts about playing dirty to beat Marc to her he just couldn't do it like this – if it was going to happen he wanted it to be real.
"Electra, I can't, not like this. You're upset, I don't want you to do anything you might regret." He was churning inside, how was this possible?! It was as if he was falling in love with her, they hardly knew each other!
"What the hell's going on here?!" they both jumped at the sound of Marc's voice. He was framed in the doorway, seething.
"Marc! Don't be upset!" Electra said quickly, she knew that he liked her and couldn't bring herself to hurt someone else.
"Save it! You knew that I liked you, or haven't I made myself clear?! And you get with him?! Well you can forget about it, and you can forget about the stupid band too!" With that he turned on the heel of his brown leather boots and stormed out of the room.
"Please, go after him!" Electra begged Ricky, who quickly complied, running after Marc. Alone in the closet again Electra slid to the floor once more, the sobs that Ricky had worked so hard to subside coming back worse than ever. She had drove Ryan away, Ricky didn't want her, and now Marc hated her. It had been the worst party she could have possibly imagined.
So – how are you enjoying this generation?! I'm loving writing it, I'm so glad you guys voted in Electra. Who would you like to see Electra end up with? As you can see she's pretty conflicted at the moment.

Oh my! *I* can't even decide who Electra should be with, with her in this kind of state. It somehow doesn't seem right… Or possible. I love all of the drama in their lives and how their two worlds are mingling here. It's a great balance.

Such a difficult choice isn't it! I'm loving Electra's drama, I'm really making the most of her being a free agent – unlike Olive who was tied down with a child and was married at her age. Glad you're enjoying it 🙂

OMG! I can't believe all this boy drama. Poor Electra, she doesn't want to hurt any of them, and that'll be tough. I get that Ryan feels like he needs to take care of his mother, but what he said was just out of line! And Marc- I know he has really strong feelings for Electra, but he can't think he owns her or that she feels the same way about him as he does about her. As for Ricky- I'm irritated with all of the boys at the moment, but I'm liking him the most right now. I think he respects the fact that Electra is not single, and that she wasn't in the best frame of mind in that situation. You've got me so conflicted, Marissa! Loved the photo shoot, by the way. And really Olive, hubby number 4? I wish I could say I'm surprised, but I'm not.
Really great chapter, and I agree with Chellekaz, you're writing the balance of the two worlds really well! 🙂
I'm making the most of the boys, a lot of the other heiresses haven't had much that I've gone into in detail about. Ryan's really conflicted between his mother and Electra, but Maud always comes first for him, and as for Ricky and Marc… they're both suffering from extreme lust! Things develop more in the next chapter though 😉
Of course Olive's onto the next husband – although this one is better than the others! Thanks for the kind words! 😀

Wow Ryan… I know your mother is giving you a hard time but he didn't have to lash out at Electra like that!! She wasn't trying to gain anything by helping him, she just feels bad! Her grandmother was so right. Money always comes between those who have it and who don't. People without it can't stand the fact that someone would try and help them. They always want to do it themselves which makes it harder on the other person. She really cares about Ryan, but if he's going to put his mother before her the rest of his life… then I don't think they should be together. So my vote does not go for Ryan.
Now for Marc and Ricky? I think I really like the two of them. Marc is sweet and funny, and Ricky is really caring and he even cared enough to not let Electra kiss him! Now that is a real gentlemen! Any other dude would have used her being upset as a way to get into her pants. He didn't even let her kiss him, that's something to be proud of Rick 😉 Although Electra did get the wrong idea. Ricky does want her and Marc… he over reacted. I think it should be between those two. At the moment I'm leaning more towards Ricky just because… I don't know, I just like him. I like how he's trying to make it on his own accord even though he is rich. He is more like Electra and I think they would get along better.
LOL sorry for that super long comment, haha. Great chapter! (:

Ryan's far too proud to accept her money, which is so stupid, I mean it's not like she's Olive throwing money at Maud to fix her – Electra really does want to help, Maud needs rehab!!
Glad you see that Ricky DOES want her, a lot! Marc too, geez she has all the boys after her doesn't she 😛 I like Ricky too, but I'm trying to write a balanced argument for all the boys – if I was a control freak Electra and Ricky would have made glorious babies by now, but I'm letting the story progress as it goes, giving free will its reign over the story!

I haven't seen a legacy like this one since StarSarah's Seraphine and Shenston legacies!! I've finally caught up!! I adore Ricky!! His smile is so charming… What a debonair!! I think Electra should run off with him, ditch her rockstar life, and go to that ranch from earlier!! I love this legacy!!! 😀
Wow! Thank you, that's such a compliment, Sarah's stories are amazing! Thanks for commenting, I love getting new readers. Do you have a legacy? Ricky is SO handsome isn't he, I can't believe such a sim exists! Glad you like my legacy so much, so flattering! 😀

Well, Ricky seemed like a bastard at first, but maybe there is some good in him after all? I also think he suits her better. This whole rock star thing is not for her. Well, in my opinion. 🙂 I especially liked the ending of this chapter, how the ball started rolling and then it just got worse and worse for Electra. Very interesting read!
There's good in all of us Alexandra! 😛 He does suit her better, I mean she loves her music and her leather outfits but she is pretty much a blue blood. Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. 🙂

Hi! First time commenting, but I love this legacy! Especially Electra's storyline.
Cant believe how Ryan's being, not wanting to simply take help from his girl. Not cool wht he said either.
I really hope you decide to keep Marc in the story becus id love to see Electra's band work out, but I think Electra should get with Ricky. Just because their relationship would be easier, he's someone from Electra's world and still down to earth.
So glad you commented, new readers are great! 😀 I love Electra's storyline too, glad you're enjoying it.
Ryan just loves his mother, I mean, don't we all? He is going a little too far with it though. Marc will be staying in the story, but not too sure about the band… maybe not THAT band anyway. Stay tuned for more! 😛
I'm loving hearing everyone's opinions, it seems like the general consensus is that Ricky will work best for Electra, and I'm inclined to agree. Thanks again for commenting! 🙂

T.T *rage*
Poor poor Electra Q.Q *hugs Slim*
I. Cannot. Physically. Or. Mentally. Believe. What. Ryan. Just. Said!!!
If he was a real person… I would slap him –_–
Nothing seems to be going right for Electra D: She needs to find a sturdy guy, who understands her and won't mistreat her or …. stuff.
I'm really starting to wonder what convinced me to 'begin' trusting Ryan in the first place x.x
Great chapter ❤
I guess he just seemed so different from Electra's world that we all thought he would be good for her!

Wow… three for the pickin'…
I think Ricky is better for Electra than Ry… a little less drama and more stable. But as Sebs said, she loves Ry. Hopefully, she will get a clear head, and that Marc dude is such a sleaze…
Oh, Olive married again… what. a. surprise.

I really think that I'm liking Ricky the best right now… He seems like such a gentleman, and I don't really like Marc. And Ryan totally lost his chance when he was thinking about hitting Electra. No, just no! >8I

During the 2013-'14 school year, we celebrated our 50th anniversary at Brookfield Christian School. Leading up to the celebration we reflected on the vision and courage of our founders and the many blessings God has bestowed on our school. We were reminded that we must continue our onward march into the future and our mission of educating children from a Christian perspective. In late 2012, we launched the initial five-year Faith Reaching Further Campaign. This project positioned us to expand our early childhood education program, add much needed classroom space, improve facilities and capabilities, and give our children access to the most current educational technology.
On October 11, 2013, we gathered with school founders, students, staff, families and friends of Brookfield Christian School in the grass outside our West entrance, and broke ground on our third building expansion. Over the course of that next year, we watched as the addition took shape. We added a new art room, three new middle school classrooms, a space for our future media center, a new gymnasium with a concessions area and locker rooms. The former gym was converted to a music and band room and a large cafeteria, giving us much needed space. The former music and art rooms were transformed into 3K and 4K classrooms. Everything was given a fresh coat of paint and new carpeting and floors were added where needed. Dedicated parents and supporters of the school volunteered many hours to make sure the work was completed on time.
On October 10, 2014, we once again gathered on the same spot we had just one year before to dedicate the building addition to God. You can view a brief video montage of the project here and a photo album of the project on our Facebook page.
We are grateful to all of those who gave to make this building expansion project a reality. We continue to build on the foundation our founding families laid for us – in faith we began, in faith we go forward.

NASA's Spitzer Maps Climate Patterns on a Super-Earth
News Release • March 30th, 2016 • ssc2016-01 •
Observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope have led to the first temperature map of a super-Earth planet -- a rocky planet nearly two times as big as ours. The map reveals extreme temperature swings from one side of the planet to the other, and hints that a possible reason for this is the presence of lava flows.
"Our view of this planet keeps evolving," said Brice Olivier Demory of the University of Cambridge, England, lead author of a new report appearing in the March 30 issue of the journal Nature. "The latest findings tell us the planet has hot nights and significantly hotter days. This indicates the planet inefficiently transports heat around the planet. We propose this could be explained by an atmosphere that would exist only on the day side of the planet, or by lava flows at the planet surface."
The toasty super-Earth 55 Cancri e is relatively close to Earth at 40 light-years away. It orbits very close to its star, whipping around it every 18 hours. Because of the planet's proximity to the star, it is tidally locked by gravity just as our moon is to Earth. That means one side of 55 Cancri, referred to as the day side, is always cooking under the intense heat of its star, while the night side remains in the dark and is much cooler.
"Spitzer observed the phases of 55 Cancri e, similar to the phases of the moon as seen from the Earth. We were able to observe the first, last quarters, new and full phases of this small exoplanet," said Demory. "In return, these observations helped us build a map of the planet. This map informs us which regions are hot on the planet."
Spitzer stared at the planet with its infrared vision for a total of 80 hours, watching it orbit all the way around its star multiple times. These data allowed scientists to map temperature changes across the entire planet. To their surprise, they found a dramatic temperature difference of 2340 degrees Fahrenheit (1,300 Kelvin) from one side of the planet to the other. The hottest side is nearly 4,400 degrees Fahrenheit (2,700 Kelvin), and the coolest is 2,060 degrees Fahrenheit (1,400 Kelvin).
The fact Spitzer found the night side to be significantly colder than the day side means heat is not being distributed around the planet very well. The data argues against the notion that a thick atmosphere and winds are moving heat around the planet as previously thought. Instead, the findings suggest a planet devoid of a massive atmosphere, and possibly hint at a lava world where the lava would become hardened on the night side and unable to transport heat.
"The day side could possibly have rivers of lava and big pools of extremely hot magma, but we think the night side would have solidified lava flows like those found in Hawaii," said Michael Gillon, University of Liège, Belgium.
The Spitzer data also revealed the hottest spot on the planet has shifted over a bit from where it was expected to be: directly under the blazing star. This shift either indicates some degree of heat recirculation confined to the day side, or points to surface features with extremely high temperatures, such as lava flows.
Additional observations, including from NASA's upcoming James Webb Space Telescope, will help to confirm the true nature of 55 Cancri e.
The new Spitzer observations of 55 Cancri are more detailed thanks to the telescope's increased sensitivity to exoplanets. Over the past several years, scientists and engineers have figured out new ways to enhance Spitzer's ability to measure changes in the brightness of exoplanet systems. One method involves precisely characterizing Spitzer's detectors, specifically measuring "the sweet spot" -- a single pixel on the detector -- which was determined to be optimal for exoplanet studies.
"By understanding the characteristics of the instrument -- and using novel calibration techniques of a small region of a single pixel -- we are attempting to eke out every bit of science possible from a detector that was not designed for this type of high-precision observation," said Jessica Krick of NASA's Spitzer Space Science Center, at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, manages the Spitzer Space Telescope mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Science operations are conducted at the Spitzer Science Center. Spacecraft operations are based at Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company, Littleton, Colorado. Data are archived at the Infrared Science Archive housed at the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center at Caltech. Caltech manages JPL for NASA.

Q: What is Characteristic Polynomial in Time-series analysis? I'm currently taking a course in time-series at the undergraduate level.  The course content goes right to the characteristic polynomial function (and solving it like you solve for roots) to determine if certain processes (e.g AR, MA, etc) is stationary or invertible.
After doing some googling it seems that many text-books go straight to the characteristic polynomial without explaining much.  The professor did explain that to understand why, it requires a much higher level understanding than the undergraduate level.
What is it? Can we understand it intuitively without the complicated math?

"We can handle it."
This has been our motto since 1926, when the seeds of Garvey Corporation were first planted on a dirt road halfway between Philadelphia and Atlantic City. That's the year our founder, Gordon Garvey, opened a gas station to finance his own machine shop. Before long, he had a thriving precision fabrication shop, which would soon become an industry-leading conveyor company.
Nearly 100 years later, Garvey remains a leader in the conveyor and accumulation industry, serving customers ranging from small breweries to the world's largest manufacturers of food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and household products.
The Garvey name is synonymous with innovation and top-of-the-line modern design. The company is recognized as one of the world's finest manufacturers of low-impact, multifunctional pressureless loop accumulation and conveyor systems to help customers optimize their production lines and maximize their throughput. Though much has changed since 1926, one thing has remained the same: our pledge that "we can handle it."

GDMMissions plans to expand in the near future to sponsor combined short-term field team trips with both medical and dental professionals. As we grow we anticipate having medical field teams move to the forefront of our ministry.
The emphasis of the medical clinic depends on the specialization of the lead doctor or the availability of more than one doctor. In the past we have had participation on different teams by a general practitioner, pediatrician, optometrist, obstetrician-gynecologist, and physical therapist – each lending a different flavor to their team. When nurses participate they bring their individual areas of special expertise and background to the clinic. Everyone's skills and experience are valuable as the team forms in a unique way to serve the Lord in a field setting.
More effort is involved in preparation for a medical field team trip as there is the need for more medication in anticipation of treatment for the most common illnesses for the target area. There is usually information available from either past trips or local doctors and nurses on what common illnesses to expect. Medication and medical supplies are an added expense for medical field trips and these supplies need to be procured and shipped well in advance of the trip.
GDMMissions' vision for the future goes beyond short-term medical clinics to include the establishment of permanent medical clinics in a country where they can form the nucleus of an evangelistic and church planting work. Our strategy is to have a full-time doctor start a small medical clinic in an area with a substantial population but no fundamental Gospel witness. We believe that as visiting patients are evangelized, and some are saved, local churches can be started. Over time, the medical clinic would be augmented by missionaries to start small churches and begin the process of reaching out to surrounding areas. While our initial efforts are in Africa, we are investigating other countries as well.

SS Yarmouth Castle Fire Yarmouth Cruise Lines near Miami, Florida – November 13, 1965 the fire on Yarmouth Cruise Lines, SS Yarmouth Castle caused the death of 88 Passengers and 2 Crew.
Jonathan Hamilton, age 14, died in the fire aboard the SS Yarmouth Castle on November 13, 1965. He embarked on a Caribbean cruise from Miami, Florida for Nassau on November 12, 1965 with 376 passengers and 176 crewmen aboard, a total of 552 people. Jonathan was on the cruise with his family. His Mother Mary Hamilton was severely injured in the fire, and lost a leg afterwards.
In room 610, located on the main deck in the bow of the ship, a fire had begun smoldering on the evening of November 12th. Debates would rage as to how the fire started. Some say arson, others say stupidity was the culprit. Though arson was never proven, stupidity was.There was no sprinkler head in room 610. Other sprinklers head were not working. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) investigation showed that room 610 was not empty contrary to what the Yarmouth Castle Greek Captain, Byron Voutsinas, age 35, testified, instead full of old mattresses, papers, old wall panels, broken chairs and other highly flammable debris such as paint, floor cleaner and wax.
After the fire, more stupidity came to light. The USCG found no general alarm was sounded to warn passengers. The radio man claimed he had left his post, and when he became aware of the fire, could not make his way back to the radio shack. It was this same explanation given for the crew of Yarmouth Castle never calling out a SOS distress signal to alert those vessels able to assist in the rescue.
During recent renovations, the windows to outside cabins were sloppily painted, resulted in window frames being painted shut. Painting everything and everything was also the problem with lifeboat ropes painted so thick, they would not slide through the winches so they could be lowered.
Some of these contributing factors to the deaths of the 88 passengers and two crew aboard were confirmed by Oscar Benet. Benet and his wife were booked into cabin 703 right above room 610. Benet said that the window in his cabin was painted shut, he had to kick it out so they could evacuation after finding fire in the hallway. When they made it to a lifeboat, it was full.
Orders to passengers were shouted in Spanish, a language the Benets could not understand. They made it to a second lifeboat, but the ropes to lower it were painted and they stuck in the winches. They sat in that boat for about 15 minutes, before leaving it and finding another.
Of the thirteen lifeboats, only six were launched. The first lifeboat launched had 20 people in it. Of the 20, only four were passengers, none of them women or children. The other 16 were comprised of the captain and 15 crew members. The next two lifeboats also were full of crew.
These lifeboats arrived at the freighter Finnpulp. The Finnpulp had been eight miles ahead of the Yarmouth Castle when crew noticed on their radar that Yarmouth had slowed, and looking back could see flames coming from her.
The captain, John Lehto ordered his freighter turned around full steam ahead and organized the rescue. He pulled his vessel along side Yarmouth Castle and began evacuating passengers right onto his ship. When flames pushed him back, he backed off, lowered his lifeboat and sent it to Yarmouth Castle. Imagine his surprise, when the first of Yarmouth Castle's own lifeboats arrived with her cowardly captain and crew aboard and only four passengers. Lehto became angry, took the four passengers aboard, but ordered Voutsinas and his crew back to their ship to assist in the rescue of their passengers. Had two rescue ships not arrived on the scene almost immediately, the survivors would have been 99% crew.
Later, Voutsinas would testify that he was not a coward, and in fact was the last to leave his ship, an honor no captain takes lightly. The testimony of Captain Lehto cleared up any doubt as to the moral character and leadership of the young Captain Voutsinas, and most of his crew.
The passenger liner Bahama Star had been following Yarmouth Castle, and was about twelve miles behind her. Her captain, Carl Brown saw the smoke and fire aboard the Yarmouth Castle around 0220 hours and radioed the USCG. He increased his speed and raced toward the stricken cruise ship.
Captain Brown of the Bahama Star later reported hearing sounds of great panic coming from Yarmouth Castle. He recalled hearing cabin doors being broken down, as well as glass breaking as passengers pushed back by flames in the hallway, tried to exit their cabin windows. He said he could hear a great many people screaming.
Both Brown and Lehko spoke of a low groaning sound heard throughout the rescue, which was determined to be steam escaping Yarmouth Castle's whistle.
Benches, deck chairs, mattresses and luggage were thrown from the burning ship to people struggling in the water.
By 0400 hours all survivors were off the blazing cruise ship, and at 0600 hours she sank.
Of the 90 people who died as a result of the fire, only two were crew. Stewardess Phyllis Hall and Dr. Lisardo Diaz-Toorens, the ship's physician were the two crew who went down with the ship.
Fourteen critically-injured people were taken by helicopter from Bahama Star to Nassau hospitals. The passenger ship Bahama Star rescued 240 passengers and 133 crewmen. The freighter Finnpulp rescued 51 passengers and 41 crewmen.
In all, eighty-seven people went down with the ship, and three of the rescued passengers later died at hospitals.
The Yarmouth Castle disaster led to the creation of the Safety of Life at Sea law (SOLAS) in 1966. This law brought new maritime safety rules, requiring fire drills, safety inspections and structural changes to new ships, that exclude wood products from structural composition.
Under SOLAS, any vessel carrying more than 50 overnight passengers is required to be built entirely of steel. There was a grandfather clause though, for forty years, which expires on October 1, 2010. This explains the recent wave of older ships being sold to businesses aboard for use as museums and hotels, while others have been broken down.
Yarmouth Castle was built in 1927 by the William Cramp & Sons Ship and Engine Building Company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was christened Evangeline. The ship was 365 feet long and measured 5,002 gross tons. At the time of the fire she was owned by Yarmouth Cruise Lines and registered in Panama.
Panama refused to take action against the captain and his crew.


To fall asleep using natural ways can be more effective than taking medication. People who have difficulty in falling asleep might follow these ways to avoid more stress and pressure. Some people take sleeping pills to fall asleep but this can present a greater danger. There are several reported death cases where the cause is over-dosage of sleeping pills. It can even have a side-effects like headache and high blood pressure. Why risk your health and life when there is a better alternatives? Here are some natural ways to fall asleep that never require much money and no harmful side-effects to the body.
Read a book of poems, a love story, or a positive thinking book. Read any subject that will have you thinking good thoughts before going to sleep. Make sure it is not too exciting or suspenseful. The point is to get your eyes tired and your mind calm.
If a Problem is Bothering you – Write it Down.
If you have any thought or problem on your mind that is keeping you from sleeping, the best thing you could do is write it down and promise yourself that you will take care of it the next day. Soothe yourself into knowing that there is nothing you can do about it now anyway.
Alcohol can make you drowsy at first, but it can interrupt your sleep cycle in the middle of the night. Try to avoid it right before bedtime.
Avoid Drinking Any Liquids Before Bedtime.
Try to avoid drinking any type of liquid for at least 2 hours before bedtime. This will prevent you from having to get up and go to the bathroom in the middle of the night or fighting to stay asleep with a full bladder.
Go to the Bathroom Before Going to Bed.
This too will lessen the chances that you will have to get up in the middle of the night.
Caffeine can stay in your body for a longer time than you might think. If you have been having trouble sleeping lately, think over the last time you might have had caffeine today. Was it soda with dinner, a cup of coffee (even as early as 4:00 in the afternoon) a sports drink, a cup of caffeinated tea? Quite often if you simply change what you drink in the afternoons and evenings you might find that you sleep better.
You may not even realize how your cold feet can be waking you a couple of times a night in discomfort. Put on a pair of socks before going to bed.
Meditate or Think About Something Positive.
A calm, quiet meditation may be all you need to slow down your racing mind before going to sleep.
It has been found that people who get at least 30 minutes of exercise per day will sleep better at night. It is important however not to do it right before bedtime because it will have the opposite effect of getting your blood pumping and may actually keep you awake.
Do your best not to watch television, particularly the news or anything scary or violent. This too could get your heart and/or mind racing and could keep you awake.
Try to Keep on Schedule.
Do your best to go to bed at around the same time every night is possible. If you have been feeling tired lately, or it seems to take awhile before you fall asleep, try going to bed about an hour earlier. This might be all you need to feel better.
Quite often extra weight can cause sleep apnea, a condition that can cause you to stop breathing in the middle of the night, quite often without you even realizing it. This will disrupt your needed sleep as well.
Take action now! Follow these ways and you will fall asleep naturally.

Front row on the glass tickets to maple leafs against the New York Islanders December 29th! Tickets side by side for $800 for the pair! This is lower than face value.... But in the last decade, face-value ticket prices have risen astronomically -- to a high of $1,872 in 2016 -- and double or triple those prices on the secondary market [source: DePietro]. Before the 2017-2018 NFL season, regular football fans could enter a lottery to buy Super Bowl tickets at face value.

If you've ever attended a big time sporting event, like the Superbowl or NCAA Men's Final Four, then you've probably spent a good amount of money over face value for the tickets.
Twickets allows fans to buy and sell spare concert tickets at face value to other fans, rather than the inflated prices on sites such as Viagogo. how to get a wifi hotspot on your iphone If you're a pro, than you'll keep an eye on ticket prices on the secondary ticket industry, that's because ticket prices often drop below face value, or available face value tickets may not be the best deal.
Twickets is a fan-to-fan ticket resale platform where the price of tickets is never more than the original face value. It was set up to counter the profiteering resale sites which encourage ticket touting. how to go to google extensions on find Tickets on viagogo are offered for sale at prices which may be above, at or below the face value price that is printed on the ticket.

Growth Report 2017: Routh Hurlbert Agency Energized
Editor's Note: The following story is from Growth Report 2017, published by The Business Journal.
WARREN, Ohio — Ribbon cuttings and groundbreakings inaugurated new projects in 2016 that exceeded $1 billion in new investment in the region, making it a landmark year at Routh Hurlbert Real Estate Co., a commercial real estate brokerage firm based in Warren.
"2017 began with even larger projects in queue, especially in the energy sector," says Dan Crouse, broker.
In the Mahoning Valley, Lordstown has emerged as the hotbed for power plant development. The $900 million Trumbull Energy Center project, announced Jan. 11, is expected to break ground within the next 12 months through the efforts of Routh Hurlbert, according to Crouse.
Clean Energy Future LLC, based in Boston, is already building one $890 million natural-gas-fueled electrical generation plant – named the Lordstown Energy Center – at an adjacent site along Henn Parkway that should be commissioned by the summer of 2018.
The power generation projects will open even more opportunity for support and downstream businesses in the area, Crouse says.
"Routh Hurlbert looks to provide even more services to the plants and our clients in the area plus attract businesses that need the virtually uninterruptable power supply these plants will offer," Crouse says.
Renewed oil and gas exploration in the Utica and Marcellus shale plays has created other opportunities to help clients leverage the downstream markets.
"In addition to power generation, we see growth in midstream pipeline projects, and massive opportunity in positioning clients in the path of the petrochemical downstream," Crouse says. "Our market research indicates there will be expansion in the energy sector's upstream, midstream, and downstream business – and the energy sector downstream includes power generation and petrochemicals," he says.
Crouse says the key challenge during 2016 was the pessimism created by the presidential election cycle. But the business community is reacting positively to the election of President Donald Trump with the energy and manufacturing sectors optimistic that there be new investment in infrastructure.
Routh Hurlbert is working with clients to be prepared for this growth and reap the benefits of being positioned correctly, he says.
Meanwhile, ongoing upheavals in the retail and medical markets may provide additional opportunity in 2017.
"Since many brick and mortar retailers are struggling, this may open up opportunities for re-purposing of retail space," he explains. "The same can be said for the medical field as re-alignment of insurance providers changes the way health care is delivered locally."
Crouse says additional medical office space, especially in Warren and Howland, is under construction and will likely result in an oversupply in the coming year. Routh Hurlbert, he says, is working on plans to address this situation.

An ecological restoration plan was developed with both expert and stakeholder input to guide the conversion of the 155-acre golf course to natural habitat. Research and monitoring efforts captured initial conditions and continue to track transitional succession and restoration activities. Legacy effects from nearly 100 years of golf course management and surrounding urban development drive site restoration opportunities and limitations. This ongoing process is accessible to our attentive guests who feel ownership in the park and want to understand the process.

Tale of Wonder Voyage
Home » Legacy Projects » The Working Boys' Center
The Working Boys' Center
The Working Boys' Center started as an educational outreach to shoeshine boys in Ecuador in 1964. WBC has since broadened its focus from the working boy himself to teaching the boy and his entire family technical skills. As the individual families learn, work, and serve their community, they are connected with supporters who raise money to build a home with the WBC family who will live in it. This approach has rescued 30,000 people from poverty. In March 2017, a team of students from the University of South Carolina spent their Spring Break in Quito building a home with one of these families.
WBC embodies what Wonder Voyage Legacy is all about: impacting vulnerable youth around the world in a way that will outlast our pilgrims' stay. While WBC focuses on the tangibles of education, housing and food, they also focus on intangible things like dreaming about their future and then going after those dreams.
The student leader of the University of South Carolina team, Chris Perez, said, "Having a home will allow the family we worked with to foster pride, identity, love and everything else that comes with the word 'family.' It will give them a place of security, a sense of worth, and a sense of belonging. All of this will contribute to their right to dream and their hopes for working as hard as they can to achieve those dreams."

ON EDITING AND MENTORING: What people say.
"Dorothy Read showed me what was great about my story, and then she showed me what I needed to do to make it even greater."
"She's an excellent mentor and, clearly, a long-time supporter of other writers and their work."
"Without Dot's steady attention to detail, there would have been unfortunate errors."
"Dot Read...is committed to helping writers become the best they can be."
Cooperation with author, internal designer and other members of the team.
Willingness to correct (or recheck) for errors.
Expertise on using Chicago Manual of Style and other standard sources.
Diligence in stating opinion when disagreeing with the author, but respectfully accepting the author's final decision.
Ability to keep a sense of humor and focus through it all.
Dot Read has all these qualities and has always been a supportive member of the team.
I thought I was finished with To the Top of the Tree and all it needed was a little proofreading. Dorothy Read showed me what was great about my story, and then she showed me what I needed to do to make it even greater. I learned a lot and am very pleased with the result. Oh yes, she proofread it, too.
"Facilitate: to make easier or less difficult; to help forward." Dorothy Read became our facilitator when she led a group of us writers in our little town. Our levels of writing experience ranged from beginners to published folk. The topics varied from mainstream to genre; romantic to paranormal; mysteries and thrillers to magical realism and science fiction. Dorothy treated each of us with respect, bringing forth her vast knowledge and expertise, as though our writings were as important as those of any of the bestselling authors.
As an editor, Dorothy's rare gift of discernment is stellar. She sees the whole and catches the mistakes with gentle suggestions. So, when it came time to find an editor for my second novel (Burnt Offering), I chose Dorothy Read.
I highly endorse her work.
Dot and I worked with Theo Wells to complete Take Care of Dying—Get on with Living. Theo was very proud, intelligent, and witty; Dot maintained Theo's spirit in her edits.
I did the internal layout, and Dot edited and re-edited each layout version. Dot prepared the index as well. Theo's health declined, and her attention became compromised. Without Dot's steady attention to detail, the book would have contained unfortunate errors. Theo had almost a year to promote her book and enjoy its positive reception, until she recognized her life energy was waning. She chose February 12, 2017 to end her life with a physician's assistance.
Dorothy Read was my teaching mentor for many years. She mentored her students as well, always helping them to see themselves as writers. Dorothy is passionate about the written word and effectively teaches the "how-tos" of writing. She advocates not only for the writer but also for the writing itself.
Dot Read is a treasure. She is an energetic and talented organizer, but first and foremost she is a teacher, committed to helping others become the best they can be. I experienced this firsthand when we were members of the same writing group and when we worked together in the Northwest Institute of Literary Arts (NILA.) I was grateful for her support when I served as NILA board chair, confident she would make anything she took on a success. I'm proud to have known and worked with her.
Dorothy Read is an exemplary editor, one who works with an author to find the most effective wording, the right tone, the best way forward in the plot. I've watched her draw writers into organizations, chair meetings and inspire many of us to step forward in ways we never dreamed we would. Whatever it is you want Dorothy Read to do, she can very likely do it--and beautifully!
When I retired from teaching, I started writing. I sent several pieces off to one of the writing contests that Dot Read founded and mentored on Whidbey Island, and I won a scholarship to the Whidbey Island Writers Conference. I wept.
I've gone on to win awards in several genres and I've published three books. And it's all because of Dot. I give her full credit for giving me the confidence to continue. She's a wonderful writer and editor, too. You can trust her with your life/book!"
Dorothy Read took my manuscript and coached me in how to improve my story. She helped me find my voice and my style. The point here is that every writer needs a competent editor, someone who can read for the story, (developmental editing) and someone who is able to catch the errors (line editing).
When you think your manuscript is ready, send it to Dot.
Dorothy Read was a leader in the Whidbey Island Writers Association (later known as the Northwest Institute of Literary Arts). She played a central role in creating structures which supported writers. She was an active member of the team which put on the annual Whidbey Island Writers Conference which served as the entry point for many Northwest writers. She created popular writing contests to encourage both children and adults. She founded WIWA's series of workshops for writers, and when the Writers Conference stumbled in 2008's economic downturn, Read created a mini-conference fund-raiser which set the larger conference back on its feet. Later, Read was one of the founders of the Writers Lockdown Retreat, an annual intensive three-day workshop. She's an excellent mentor and, clearly, a long-time supporter of other writers and their work.
Dorothy's plot and characterization notes were worth their weight in gold. I felt like a veil had been lifted from my eyes on the road to Anahuac. Thanks for sharing your great insight. I just knew there was more there than I was seeing.
"Dot is an inspiring and encouraging mentor and a gifted writer, herself." From my days in her writing groups to her work on my forthcoming mystery novel, Be Still Be Dead, I have always looked to her for encouragement and excellent suggestions. She's a great editor on all levels.
Dorothy edited my chapter in a college textbook for clarity, flow, and consistency. She was well-versed in the academic style, and I found her suggestions invaluable to the quality of the finished project.
