Your talent is limitless! To put out an entire 40,000 plus word book of this complexity in a tad more than two weeks is unheard of!

Of course I loved this chapter...nothing more satisfying than Garth putting Harrison in his place...

Bravo!

I have another chapter to read!

    Sorry I am so late in responding...been writing since 3 am. The book is finished...except for proofing one more time so I can miss things for you to find. LOL
    And a lot of reading to get some $$ or I use my own...I can't stand this.

    I apologize for being behind, but the story consumed me. I just finished the last two chapters...for real this time. Now to proof and then read, read, read, so I can post. Thank you so much for the awesome review.

I feel I need to give you all sixes. Unfortunately, I feel they need to be shared around, especially to newbies to do well. This is better than reading some of the books I check out of the library. Great writing.

It looks like I have a lot of catching up to do on this book. It's interesting and makes me what to discover what is going on. The characters are robust and present the reader with quite a diversity of personalities.

    Thank you for stopping by...It's been a wild ride and nearing the end. I love all the twists and turns and always a cliff hanger or two. Appreciate the review.

Oh, that was wonderful!! Incredible!! I don't really have time to review this chapter because I want to read the next one! You are one incredible, talented young lady, my friend. How you can write like this I have no idea! This is going great guns, and if you don't win this contest I'll leave FS!!!! Love and hugs, Sandra xx

    Thank you but I'm not holding my breath! So many have been complaining lately (and quite openly) about the "committee" and their judging fairness. But I will have my fingers crossed. I believe this is the one I would like to see self-published or how ever that is done. I wrote it in two weeks and right now with one chapter to go I have almost 42,000 words. I can't believe how good I feel even with the other drama. Thanks as always for being the one to support and encourage me.
    Smiles, hugs and love, Carol

Carol, I loved the line, "Sugar, do you want coffee?" Your writing style is wonderful. You just stopped in the middle of this drama and offered up a bit of situational humor that worked really well. Excellent. Terry.

    I like to toss in a little humor if I can and a dash of romance too! Can't have them just murdering each other, now can we? I have posted another chapter and then the next one will be the end I believe. I want to thank you for sticking to your word and reading what I wrote for the contest. I really appreciate it very much. Have a great day!

Okay, you have two keepers in this story. I don't think it can get any better. I do love this story.

Or does that sound like I've been living on morphine too long?" he laughed. "Seriously, I'd be offended (He laughed.)

His black Stetson hat, now a symbol of his authority, rested on an empty flower vase. (I knew it was my handsome cowboy!!!)

    Just finished Chapter 18 (posted) and I believe your cowboy will make his grand stand in the final chapter - #19. I hate to see it end, but it's been fun. Never thought I could write a book in 2 weeks... I have to count, but I think it's around 40,000. Thanks for sticking with me and for enjoying the book and Garth... He was there for you!

About frigging time lady! This is so embroiled. I am dumbfounded at your skill and cunning. I will be shattered when it is over, I think. Enjoy the week get plenty of rest, eat fish for brain power. Karen :-)

    No rest for the wicked lady! I just posted another chapter...and I hope you love it too! Thank you so much for your kindness and all the help you have given me...and of course the encouragement. I too think I will be lost when it's over. I believe Chapter 19 will do it.
    Thank you so much!!!!!

    So soon? You certainly have the word count.This is so entangled and riveting. You will need a break. Write a comedy to cleanse the palate. :-)

    this chapter of confrontation between the Chief and the law is far more difficult than I thought. FBI can't just take over without a federal law being broken, but I need to catch the chief on so many things. I'm working on it. And then there's Allie going to the police department...will she remember the second she walks in there.... I hope not...
    What a way to start my day...the brain is spinning.
reply by Karen Cherry Threadgill on 18-Mar-2024
    The FBI gets someone to start a trash fire and pulls the alarm. The firemen go in and clear the building. The chief is snatched as he hurries out. Hooded and confined. Or, Ruby who is not mentioned in the index, is asked to put a bowel loosening additive in the chiefs coffee which will send him to the toilet with great speed. Ruby gives him Supposed Immodium which is actually an Emetic and he is irrupting both ends, she calls the "Ambulance" which is Not from town. :-) Karen

This is another excellent chapter. I am so glad the Chief is being put in his place. There is one tiny edit. "The chief on (the) other hand will be a raging bull." Have a blessed day.

    Only two chapters left, I think...unless I missed something. One is posted a few minutes ago and the other I need to write. Thanks so much for sticking with me and enjoying the story.

Oh, as always, you add a little touch of everything and keep it just out of touch. Lips brush briefly, leaving the unfulfilled yearnings to simmer. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

    Can't dump it all in the pot at one time.... it needs low heat and simmering till it's ready to boil. Thank you so much for all your kindness. Can you believe this is about to end. One chapter is posted and then the end. What will I do with myself?

    Smiles and hugs for all the support and encouragement you seem to offer at the perfect time. I appreciate you ever so much. The stars are an extra piece of glitter. Thank you!

    Smiles, hugs and Have a great day!
