I LOVE the story material.
I generally like any story about townies trying to adjust to life in the bush.
I'd say that either Hank or Riley did her paintings.
I'm looking forward to her 1st encounter with Mr. B.
Well written characters and story-line.

Thank you for the stars and the comments, my friend! Yes, poor girl. She has a lot to learn about the country life. I'm glad you like the subject matter. I will stay with that theme, and mix in some mystical creatures as well.
Take care,
Rhonda

Oh, I'm feeling it already. I'm going to like this one, too. You didn't finish the other one, did you? Without my seeing it? I hope not. I need to finish it.

Good write, no spags I see, but my eyes are weary.

I didn't finish the last one. I will probably run all three as I go. I wanted to start something new for the New Year as I'll have to summarize the last two before posting them. Thanks for reading this one, too!

Take care, my friend,
Rhonda

Hi Rhonda, a great continuation to your story, and your wonderful imagery took me right to the place. I was there with her, and I also feel there's more than meets the eye. All the best. Ulla:)))

As your great little story is leaving the ground, I must say you are setting the scene and establishing the characters rather well. The fact that a citified, young woman has come, judgementally on the scene, is setting the story up well, liked the tenseness of the interaction between Hank and Nara, well done Rhonda, blessings, Roy Typo : grub(')s pretty good too."

Thank you, Roy. I tried to set up the characters first. I have a tendency to jump into action first. I do appreciate your comments!

Have a great week ahead,
Rhonda

I have a feeling this town has a lot more than meets the eye and I can't wait to delve deeper into it. Good write.

Nara's word was simple, but the sarcasm was deep. Could this place get any more yokel? (The second sentence seems like thought, you might want to put it in italics)

Oh, good idea!! That should be in italics. Thanks for catching it!

Thanks, as well, for reading and reviewing!

Take care,

I think you are setting the stage nicely for whatever is coming. This chapter has hint of mystery about the things to come and creates the impression that all may not be what it seems. I will try to follow this one

This was a great read. I hope I get to read more. So glad to see you back, Sis. Where ya bin? I can't remember if you saw my Christmas Carols? Bit late now I guess. I finally got the music sorted on them, no help from Tom. Can't remember if you saw the later chapters to my "Little Dog" book about me. I wrote about my wife's time in hospital.

I got really far behind on any reviewing because work got very busy. Having just recovered from all the surgery this summer, my stamina isn't completely back yet, and I am prone to exhaustion. On top of that, I just moved over the Holidays, and that took a lot of my time. I'll try to go back and get caught up.

Take care,
Rhonda

Thanks hope you recover.

reply by the author on 06-Jan-2018

Oh, I'm doing much better, I'm just explaining how I got so far behind on the reviewing.

reply by Sankey on 06-Jan-2018

No worries, not real sure how much longer I am staying here.

Another fine chapter, Rhonda--'Danger, WillNara Robinson, danger!' I doubt that her last name, but it could be--*Obscure 'Lost In Space' reference, for those of you playing along at home!

So, I did get the reference... does that make me old?? Oh well, no spring left in the chicken. How it goes.

Thanks for you help writing this book. Yet another interjection into the plot...

Comment from Thomas Bowling

It sounds like both the bull and Hank need watching. I like the direction this is going. I sense a touch of Twin Peaks in your characters. The room seems too nice and the people a little quirky.

Right on both counts. The quirkiness is part of their charm. lol.
Poor girl has to have something that meets her standards. The room might be about it.
Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Excellent stop on this one as her uneasiness makes the reader wonder if there is more here than meets the eye. You continue to develop both Nara and Hank well in this segment and the dividing lines between them continue to get more defined. Well written and a most enjoyable read. Thank you very much for sharing it.
