Brother Love 10 — A Cut
Oh, a good catch for Birdie on seeing Ruth leave! Still, Tammy may be in trouble.

Dan Antion got a kick out of finding “Jinx” in this antique rug. It reminded me of the recent July Fourth holiday.
Welcome to the crossroads.
To my friends to the north, I hope you had a lovely Canada Day. To those in the USA, I hope you enjoyed the Fourth of July and celebrated our precious freedom.
I appreciate you coming back after my little break last weekend.
Thanks to Dan Antion of No Facilities for letting me use more of his great photos.
The things that drive today’s installment are: Magnolia Leaves from Priscilla Bettis, Earthly Bonds from G. P. Cox, and Spaghetti from Jan Twissel.

Welcome back to the crossroads.

This chapter has two things from Dan Antion, who shares his photographs to illustrate Brother Love. Read on to see how I used Bubblegum and Newspaper in this episode.
The third “thing” that is used to drive Chapter 8 is from Fraggle, aka C. J. Hyslop, who is a marvelous photographer. It’s easy to see what a terrific imagination she has at Fraggle’s Other Place. What was Fraggle’s thing? Camera, of course!
I have to give Dan credit for a line in this chapter. In our discussion about the two evangelists who inspired my Doug Armstrong character, Dan talked about something the preacher from his past said about not inviting people to dinner. Keep reading and you’ll see what I mean.

Welcome back to the crossroads.
This chapter turned out to be for the birds — or rather for the magpie. If Brother Love was a television series, then this would be the quirky musical episode.
I was already working with music because of the “thing,” Elvis Presley, from Mary J. McCoy-Dressel. That’s when Jinx, the magpie, got in on the act. Then John W. Howell commented about the Buddy Holly song, That’ll Be the Day. Of course that became another “thing.” At that point, I just went completely off the rails. Yes, there’s more punishment — I even narrated the ending with a new sound-bite… That’s supposed to be my scary voice, but whatever.
John specified the Buddy Holly version of That’ll Be the Day. Mr. Holly wrote the song during the general time-frame I’ve given…

Welcome back to the crossroads.
As you know, Dan Antion shares his photographs to illustrate Brother Love. I make the serial “interactive” by letting things left by readers drive everything about the story.
I’ve completed at least six long-running serials here at Teagan’s Books — each of them written spontaneously and driven by “things” from readers. Perhaps the thing I enjoy most about writing these serials is involving you readers. I just had another idea for how to do that. I’m naming the businesses in fictional Parliament, Mississippi after readers! Keep an eye out for a couple of them today. I hope you’ll take a moment to visit all the links.
The reader “thing” today is a Coke from Mary J Melange. Be sure to check out her marvelous blog. Say hello to Gibbs and…
