Action-packed chapter. I'm ready to take Jason on myself! I really like your characters and the way they are bonding as the story progresses. It was a good time for a change of pace. Nice job.

Excellent. Great descriptions. Tense and full of anticipation of what is to come next. Well written and keep the reader caught up in the story. I look forward to the next chapter.

    Thank you for reading and your wonderful review! Thanks also for your spaggie catch. I'll fix it tonight. Chapter 8 is in the wings in final edits and it is riveting. Thanks again!

Hello NightWriter
so you told me to read this chapter . Looks like you go me right in to a chapter where I don't know excatlly know much about the theme of your book I can say you have several twist and plenty of action going on
good chapter.

Guess I will have to take a quick look in you past chapters and see how this chapter developed

    Thank you so much Gert for this wonderful review! If you're going to look at some of the past chapters, I'd steer clear of Chapter 1, that the most violent of them. I tried to paint Jason as a beast and may have gone too far. I'll revisit this chapter one day. Whenever that man is in the picture all heck breaks loose! Thanks again for your interest.

Good chapter! I liked the contrast between the light beginning and serious ending. It made for a nice conflict. Hopefully Jason won't find Brook anytime soon. Good job, hope to read more soon!

    Thank you Erin for your wonderful review! In Chapter 8, coming very soon, Jason sets up some pretty intense suspense and Stan shows more of his powers. Thanks again!

So, Jason finally showed up? I sort of thought he would after the last chapter. I must say, you always give your characters a good time, food, drinks, rides..all American fun. You let their age and personalities come through.


The glowing red digits (said) seven as the alarm rang. Lori slammed the button down(,) turning it off. She lay down and fell back to sleep.

(I suggest: read instead of said)

A knock(ing) at the door woke her again.
(should be knock)

Good morning!" Brook said(,) smiling and laughing.

then sat next to Lori(,) tickling the side of her stomach.

Tires squealed(,) and the girls screamed

Hell(,) no(.) (H)e's a sworn enemy of this place

They (started) at the Crab House to eat, then walked
(should this be stopped??)

    Thank you so much for your encouragement and helpful review Cassandra.

    This line ... Hell(,) no(.) (H)e's a sworn enemy of this place

    I actually wrote it that way, but Word didn't like it so I changed it. But it does sound better your way so I changed it to your suggestion. I also questioned "The glowing red digits (said) seven" when I edited and couldn't decide between read and said, so your suggestion was a big help here too.

    Chapter 8 will have more of Jason who will bring increased conflict and suspense to the story. Tears actually welled up in my eyes as I wrote the beginning.

    Thanks again!

    you're welcome Steve. I've found out, when you feel your work the reader will also. So if you almost cried, I'll have my tissue ready. lol (besides it doesn't take much to touch my heart, I cry while watching movies and reading books)

    Thanks Jimi! Chapter 8 is absolutely riveting right off the bat. I'm still tweaking it, but it has even me sitting at the edge of my chair. Chapter 8 will be out in a few more days. Sometimes when we write, the journey is so unreal. Thanks again for your encouragement and wonderful review!

    Thanks so much Lynn! It's Daytona Beach, so he can drive down with his friends. You're right, Jason is a brute with no money, but he has interesting friends. :)

kick your but should be butt
phones beeped, telling them add comma
change of plans, people add comma for direct address
Stan asked, looking at add comma
Being pursued in Disneyworld by a crazed guy with a gun - who needs thrill rides? For a while there this was just this fun outing - but I knew that couldn't last, not with this crowd! :-) Brooke
