Again, excellent writing! You keep me in suspense, you keep the changing situation believable and you mingle the love story with the drama. It is only long when it is boring,... This is not boring!

Very interesting chapter, it was a fast read. I was not too bothered by the length. However, this is a novel you are writing after all not a short story. Good Luck with the remaining 14 pages.

Only 14 pages. Ugh no, but then on the other hand Stephen and Leya need to eventually find some peace and quiet to begin their married life. I loved this fast paced chapter. Gosh, these men have their work cut out for them with all the abducting, shooting and drug-world nonsense going on. Hope they find Leya safe.

Don't apologize for the length. It wasn't that long. This is a great story. I hope you get it in print and on the best bookstore shelves.

Lengthy, but it was excellent, as always. Great use of dialogue, and excellent narrative, which carries the story at a good pace. I enjoyed the interaction between Ralph and Eric, especially when he lets it slip he and Leya are married.
Thanks for sharing, and I look forward to the next 14 pages.
Warmest regards, Marijke

Hi Lady :)

As I said, you're doing very well on this chapter. All the elements are there. Your pace fits the tone of events and the dialogue is neat and crisp. Things are falling into place quite nicely.

A couple of "nits" that kept you from a "sixer":

I'll check on it on the way ...." He stopped in mid-sentence. If you're going to cut dialogue in mid-sentence, use the M-dash not an ellipsis.

Tell us something we don't know." Matt motioned for Eric to continue. Shouldn't this be a separate paragraph? Evil Eddie may have caused it.

It's dark, so use extra caution. You've already said "tonight" so "it's dark" isn't needed.

Minor "nits" - I know you'll fix them.

Good job.

Ted

    I am not sure how to use the dash. All my grammar books use the elipsis. I have seen it used in that way. I will make all the changes, but I am not sure if I leave a space before it like you do with the elpsis or not. Thank you for the review. I printed your suggestions, and off to make the changes.

    Hi Barbara :)

    I'll get back to you later today. I'm working on the cover/query package for "Thorns." The book is going to market soon.
