Oh, boy, there's going to be trouble after this encounter. Stan is surrounded by too many beautiful women! One awkward thing to point out: "Stan turned and answered the door. It was Chuck who he invited in." That could easily be fixed to something smoother: "Stan turned and answered the door, inviting Chuck in." What do you think?

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I know, I know. What's going on out there with this explosion of vampire stories. It's never been like this, and now when I finally start writing my vampire novel, the market is flooded. Thank you for reading.

    but I love vampire stories, they are great,
reply by the author on 27-Aug-2009
    Thank you! I'm the same when it comes to these stories, but hard as I try, I can't find one that holds my interest more than a few pages. Of course, the market is now flooded with them so there might be a book lurking. I wish Hollywood would turn them all into movies! :)

Very, very good, Nightwriter. I am impressed with the way you keep the plot moving with the use of right-on dialogue.
You are definitely a talented writer....

One suggestion and even that is no big deal,

"Jill walked up to Lori. "We should ...." (perhaps "sidled up" as you have already used "walking" just before that... so as to eliminate some repetition...know what I mean?

All my best...Bob

Ohhhhhhhh nooooooo, not Brook and Stan, this is a disaster waiting to happen. Stan has always been faithful, but nice job of flawing a perfect character, we're not perfect in real life and neither should our characters be. Although I'm soooo very disappointed and Lori is going to hit the roof if she finds out.

Kick them out. Immediately.

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review Cassandra. Good catch! Was running = ran to eliminate passive voice. This gremlin is one of my toughest to catch. I now look at every instance of the word was and look for another word to use in its place. Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. Thank you! :)

I have a hard time approving of people who cheat- but I have a feeling Lori is going to find out. Maybe Brook was controlled by her passion. I would not have guessed she'd do this to her cousin. Hmmm.... great writing though. Nice job on the love scene. It's passionate and gives the right amount of details for the mind to imagine the scene.

I noticed in the first 1/3 of the piece you haved used the word 'walked' or 'walk' 4 to 5 times to describe movements. It was used often enough to make it pop out. Just wanted to let you know. :)

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I'll take a look at the word and see if I can find a nice replacement. Brook's uncontrollable passion did lead to this, and now they have to work through it, LOL. It's a soap opera! :)
