HI BARBARA!
ANOTHER WONDERFUL CHAPTER! VERY WELL WRITTEN, BUT I THINK, THE INFORMATION YOU ARE GIVING IN THE AUTHOR NOTE,IS A BIG SOCIAL SERVICE FOR A LOT OF ABUSE WOMAN.
GOD BLESS YOU, TAKE CARE!
:)

I know / understand that it's a bridge post, but it just makes me hungry for the next post.
Nice introduction of a new character and some interesting background on Troy and family.
Looking forward to next post.
Love the artwork chosen.

Thank you for your kind review and support. They took Troy in after his mother was murdered by his step father, information from an earlier chapter, and I wanted to show how caring they were.

This was another good read from beginning to end, usual. The story flowed for an easy read. I look forward to the next installment.

Nicely done. Even though I haven't read any earlier chapters, I was able to piece the story together. Hope they can find Anna.

Thanks for a great read.

You just answered some nagging questions. This is set in Texas, and Troy is a civil engineer whose company inspects and retrofits urban structures. He does seem to be taking a lot of time off. A very informative segment, Barbara. :) Nancy

Troy owns his own company, plus inherited the bookstore. The bookstore has a manager who takes care of it, so Troy is rarely needed there. Thank you for your kind review.

Maybe Everett will turn something up ... but I'm getting more and more nervous about Anna. Don't worry about the bridge chapters, they're as necessary as the high impact ones.

I keep receives fours on my brdge chapters, with the reviewer saying they are boring and need to be cut. Thank you for your kind review.

reply by Connie P on 21-Jun-2011

Cover your ears, Barbara .... but damn it, I get griped at by certain reviewers every time I let the intensity down to build the characters and relationships ... I want honesty and I know you do too, but geez, how spoiled are we as readers that we have to be titillated every second.
Now that I have that out of my system, I assumed you'd received some flack when I read your note. Oh well, se la vie, y'all!!! :)

oops c'est la vie, y'all

I just got a four for too much dialogue.

reply by Connie P on 21-Jun-2011

Yikes, how have I escaped that one???!!!

reply by the author on 21-Jun-2011

This reviewer has hit me a few times for that. I gave up trying to convince her she's wrong.

reply by Connie P on 21-Jun-2011

You know, in my last book I screwed up the ending by caving to pressure from one reviewer to wind it up. After that, I vowed never to change my style due to pressure again. If I have an error or get off on a rabbit trail, I hope I have people reading who are honest enough to tell me (I know I do in fact and I try to always listen), but as for altering my writing style ... not happening. We can't change made up minds, we can only hope for the consistent and constructive support of the majority of those who hang with us.
Have a great day, I'm off to have my annual mammogram ;(

reply by the author on 21-Jun-2011

Good luck with your mammongram.

I told her again, I will only change my dialogue, if my publisher tells me to.

reply by Connie P on 21-Jun-2011

Thanks, the mammogram went fine, praise God!!!!

I enjoy this reading so much. Always anxious to see what happens next. Troy certainly seems more than just an acquaintance to me. We shall see.

I think Troy has fallen head over heels in love with this lady, but we will wait and see. I appreciate your kind review,
