Wow - the action is pounding in this chapter. I read quickly in fear of what was happening. I do hope Steven isn't hurt.

Maybe Peggy will be caught in the crossfire! lol I'm bad - but I really hope so. ;)

No suggestions. Great action packed chapter. I love the internal questions Leya and Steven have about their growing relationship. The mutual respect between the two and the growing friendship between Leya and the others (except Peggy) is refreshing.

*You have your book marked as 'Complete'. You may want to change that. ;)

    Why, it is completed? Am I misunderstanding the meaning of complete. I hope your staying with us for awhile. I have so missed.

    Huh? (LOL)
    In your portfolio, you have your book marked as "complete", but it isn't yet... you are still adding chapters, right? (LOL) It should still show 'incomplete' until you've posted your ending chapter.

    I didn't understand that. Sorry, I figured it meant If I have finished writing the book. Sometimes I'm really a blonde at heart.

Barbara,

This is an excellent chapter, especially because you restrict yourself to Leya and don't overdo the action part. I would like to know how the drug lords found the safe house, but I guess that's coming.

This is an excellent post, enjoyable to read and with only one small nit:

"In her room she stared out the window. Could Jim [be] right?"

A good piece of descriptive writing,
with good presentation, holding the
interest throughout.

A couple of minor things - just ignore if not in agreement, my friend.

when she tried to enter his bed - "enter" sounds strange ... perhaps you'd consider..
when she tried to climb into his bed

As he stared at her eyes, Jim grinned - "at"!!
As he gazed into her eyes, Jim grinned

am the daugher - daughter

An enjoyable read, Barbara.
Margaret.

Great dialogue in this chapter. The scene is well laid out and the story flows well. I enjoyed the read - just a few spags to fix:

Peggy makes a sedutive [seductive] move

Could Jim [be] right?

I wanted to smoother[smother] him with kisses

Could Jim [be] right?

"Good question[.] We'll worry about that later."

oh we have a mixture here, shooting emotions and guns. Great read. Hope everything's fine for Leya and everyone.

now your notes make me feel guilty. School started today here, and I work everyday. Been neglecting lots of things since I began writing. Sigh.

typo='Could Jim(be) right?'
You did an excellent job on this
post. I was there, could smell
the gunpowder, and the noise--
chaos and at the same time I felt
myself seething. Has anyone asked
where the heck Peggy is? uh-huh!
Great structure, very descriptive
narrative and the dialogues help
to move the story along but add
to the excitement. You really
out did yourself on this post.
Wonderful. Lora

Another excellent chapter. The action really kept me on the edge of my seat, and they way you captured Leya's emotions makes the scene feel very real. Excellent job. I look forward to the next post.

Good luck with your writing and your first-graders.

It appears that the men support Leya. They think Peggy is acting unreasonable. The question never answered at the end of the chapter was who told Leya's family where she was. I think the answer will embarrass someone. It probably was one of the team.

This is a pretty interesting story. I would love to go back to read the other chapters to see how Leya and Peggy got to this point. Your sentences were straightforward, the dialogue was informative and overall, it was really good.

    I don't understand if I have a pretty interesting and you wanted to go back and read more, and my sentences were straightforward, the dialogue was informative and overall a really good. Why you gave me 4 stars? What do I need to do to improve it??? Thank you for your review. I just don't understand it.
reply by EABU on 04-Jan-2010
    You are absolutely right. You don't need to do a single thing to improve it as I really enjoyed the story, and I have no corrections. I intended to give you 5 stars so the 4 stars may have been accidentally selected. I will go back and upgrade the rating.

    Thank you I appreciate the thoughtfulness. That has happened to me before too. My finger slips.
