This is a strong, clearly written chapter. By that I mean, I came into the story right here, with no background. I was still able to thread together the plotline and the characters.

I liked the way you describe the healing. I imagine everyone does it differently, but I don't 'see' the healing, I feel it.

I also don't know how much you know about protection in these realms. Tossing salt around you in a circle is thought to be protective. So is crossing over water. Stones with natural holes in them make good amulets. So do certain plants, such as basil.

Anyway. You are doing well with your write. I am by no means an expert, but if you need any help with the metaphysical, I would be glad to share what I have experienced.

    Hi, animatqua. Thanks so much for your generous review and supportive insights. I will, for sure, take you up on your offer if I get stuck on the metaphysics. I have described the energy healing as I personally experience it when working with my clients. I both feel and see; but as you say, everyone experiences it differently. Thanks for reminding me about the other protective devices. Hadn't heard about the stones with natural holes - that is truly fascinating! You are most kind and I appreciate your support. Warm regards, Bev

    P.S. I'd love to compare notes with you on healing work sometime! Very curious to see what and how things work with others.

    I am not a practioneer. I only work within family and friends---or send the healing out when my system is tingling too much.

    I'd still love to hear how you work.

This was a very 'active' chapter. I would be seeking to be rejoined to the rest of the team real hard. Why a 'pewter' cross? Is there something special about pewter? very well written chapter to your book.

    Hi, DD. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing my chapter. I think I'll change that to silver - it would fit better with the supernatural elements (DUHHH). I appreciate your generosity. Kind regards, Bev

This is another good and interesting chapter, Bev. However, I would recommend using a FS language warning with it.

Here are a couple recommendations you may or may not want to use:
she recognized the face of Catherine Bellingham(,) who had been murdered ninety

Its features spoke of sad longing(,) but the eyes

    Hi, Jonathon. I did press the button for a warning, but you're right nothing showed up. Better try a higher number. I think your SPAG suggestions are definitely worth follow-ing up on. I really appreciate your generosity and support...Bev
