Honestly, the present chapter does not give me any point to express my views against it.It is perfect and the flow is superb, however, I could have added a few words of appreciation had I read the preceding chapters as well.
Bless you,

PERFECTION! I would love to see a sequel to this one. You had me hooked right from the beginning and it just kept getting better and more intense. You have a great talent for the crime mystery genre and it shows.

Hope to hear from you again very soon.

Hi Elaine :)
An excellent epilogue..You seem to have tied the loose ends together. I do thing there should be a few words explaining how Ruckus survived the gunshot.

Now that the book is finished, the hard work starts. That's the marketing process, finding an agent and making revisions that may be necessary for publication. Good luck at the writer's conference.

    thank you. thank you. I will probably go back and add more to this about Ruckus and Mark and maybe explain more about Burly's injuries and the internal investigation.
    thank you for the luck at the writer's conference, I am getting excited. I am also keeping my fingers crossed that my manuscript goes over as well with them as it did on here.
    You have been here for me since the beginning, THANK YOU!!!
    I will never be able to thank my loyal readers enough.

    I am looking forward to meeting her. I am so excited about going in general, I think I have butterflies.
    Thank you again for all the help you have given me along the way, I can't express that enough. I have learned so much through the writing of this book and it has been a tough but very fun adventure. I hope to continue writing stuff that people want to read.

mcdaniel,
I guess you could do a chapter on the wedding. It's hard to know
exactly when to end it. I think this is a good way to end it. Maybe you could do a series. I've enjoyed going on the journey with you.

    thank you for reading, you have been a very loyal reader. They may get married in the next book, who knows. I left it open with another case, I may see if I can continue this as a series

Good job! Congratulations on bringing it home! Truly a fine novel! Not sure if your Author Notes are asking if you should extend the story--only you know that. This ending seems fine and wholly satisfactory to me! Gerry

Hello there

ooooooooh.. love the ending!!

It was perfect for them to get together.. without pushing it out in the face.. I love it!!!!!

And you left it open enough if you wish to continue with her, which is a smart idea.. lady detectives are very popular.. and she's just fiesty and cute all together.. and Ryan could be very helpful in certain situations..

hugs!!!
luck with the submission

    thank you for being a loyal reader and a great friend. I think I will work with these characters again, but I might work on the other story I started first, who knows.
    thank you again for reading
    Oh, and I promise not to be so mean to her in the next book-but there will be plenty of action and mystery.

It was a great book. It kept the reader guessing as to who the villain was then why. It was a mystery that kept you guessing from one installment to the next, with a little bit of fun and love thrown in to mix things up. I enjoyed and looked forward to reading each chapter.
Good luck.

I think you have a wonderful story. I hate to see it end. Burly and Ruckus are great characters. All of the characters were great. I hope to see it continue or become a sequel. I will truly miss reading it. Good luck with publishing it.

I can tell there could be more. What with the kid who only wants to talk to her. I have enjoyed your story very much. Congratulations on finishing it. Good luck with publishing.

Hello mcdaniel1299,

Nicely written. It makes me want to go back and read the book.
A good book always has an excellent ending. You managed to have an ending with closure, yet open another story to be told. Good job.

Observation:

"Yes, sir," she said into the receiver, then listened.
"Yes, sir," she said into the receiver (and) listened. - personal preference.

Best Regards,
Mark
