I enjoyed the dialogue and the fact that you made the speech sound as if it did indeed come from the front porch of a cabin after a group dinner. It was good of Rosenna to share her tales. Very well done, thanks for sharing.

And so it begins. Sorry I just now got back to this tale. I will try to stay up as soon as I get to the latest installment. Let's hear it, Granny.

"You mind your tongue in my house Nathan Carter, I'll not stand for blasphemes," Roseanna
said. You held me at this. I am very interested and want to be along for the ride.I live in Russellville Logan County ...southern Kentucky .Is Carter Holler near here? It was called Rogues Harbor in the 1800s
God bless

It looks like you have a fine novel in the making here with this piece. I enjoyed and understood what I call-- Georgia speak! Very colorful and descriptive. I think this novella will do very well here on FanStory. I look forward to the next installments.
Kind regards,
Sally

    This is my kind of thing. I am also involved in scrapbooking. I research and keep the historical archives of my family. I have traced one family line to the 1600?s through grave and war records. I belong to Ancestry.com, as well.

Great prologue. I can not wait to hear tales from outside of Carter Holler, Kentucky in 1860 through the eyes of grandma Rosanna Carter. I love the written dialect as well.

Or(,) they might be funny - edit suggestion

'Tell us a story(,) Granny. ' - just a comma needed :)

"Tell us how you and Grandpa met.(") -missing end quotes here :)

"Hell(,) maw(,) start from the beginning, " - just commas need to set off who he's speaking to :)

"Yes'm, (")-missing end quotes here :)

Just a suggestion -onto 60 years ago," Roseanna "began." - only because the word 'said' has been used many times previously and she's beginning here tale here, I think began could work. What do you think?

What a great prologue. I look forward to reading the book as it comes to fruition. It definitely has the back woods, country feel I grew up with in the deep south. Excellent dialogue with an engaging tale. You've set up your book with great interest and insight into the family we'll be reading about. I'm thinking Nate is a little whipper snapper and is gonna prove to be a handful :) A few nits I've pointed out above. Once fixed, let me know and I'll come back and put this up to the five star it deserves immediately. Excellent job, Earl.
