Another well written chapter. I felt the word TRACKS was redundant the second time:
"These tracks weren't made by the old pickup that was here. They're fresh tracks."
Suggest:
"These tracks weren't made by the old pickup that was here, they're fresh."

The party is over; Soni and Jim investigate the area where a trailer had previously been seen. The reader will have to wait until next post to find out if they discovered anything beyond the "duelie" tire tracks, and what those tracks may mean.

They walked until the came to the area where the trailer had set[sat].

or

They walked until the came to the area where the trailer had [been] set.

Everything from "Kuruk and Soni headed toward the house...." to the end is italicized. I think that may be a formatting problem.


Cheers,
DW

Wow. Goliath and Mack live up to their names. Both appear to be HUGE. I have a feeling they will come in handy down the road. Nice addition with the creation story. 8-)

Kuruk and Soni headed toward his house. [Why did you continue from here to the end in italics? It's my understanding that one of the things a Literary agent or editor look for, as a reason to reject a manuscript is the over-use of italics.]

Good content, Barbara. Could find no SPAG.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I truly wait all week for these, and they're always worth the wait--six stars worth! I think Soni should take her cue from the dogs and trust Jim. They certainly do. It was enjoyable the way Soni worries about the dogs despite their size and shows that she treats them as babies when she says Mack is smaller than Goliath. There is obviously trouble brewing, especially as Soni and Jim notice fresh tracks and her grandfather warns her to hurry home. People would have good reason to go after her ranch. judi

Another goodie Barbara. Looks as if you did a good job on self editing. The story still has an interest and I am wondering who is doing all the spying. Shalom my friend.
