Fee has made an amazing change but seeing an angel bring two people back to life must have stunned him. This is a very exciting ending to a long life of criminal activity.

A brilliantly penned ending, my dear friend. I loved every word of your book and can't wait to get it as an audio book. The ending was totally unexpected, I assure you, but loved the message.
You are so clever, Sally. I appreciate the effort and hours you put into your book.
God bless, hugs,
Rhonda

"To the Epilogue," Sally? What does not mean? Fee is is jail for a couple of lifetimes. Are you going to stretch this book and give it a better ending? It is good. I'm waiting for the end. :) Maybe... nah! I let you tell it.

Wow! This is the best wrap-up of your mysteries. To have such an evil person like Elling make that transformation is the best we can hope for in this world. And we know God can do the impossible. With his encounter with Sally and witnessing Patience, he has changed completely. Great job!

Congratulations on completing your book! Well done! Of course you ended with miracles, thanks to Patience. I'm looking forward to reading the Epilogue.
I'm so sorry your eyesight is diminishing. Sending prayers up for you.

    I am glad you have reached the end, but I'm sad there won't be any more chapters. I've enjoyed them all.

"put on YOUR shirt"

Kneeling to check her pulse while the house is in flames doesn't seem right. I would have him just pick her up and haul her out and worry about the pulse outside.

If I had seen Patience breathing life back into people I too would be a changed person! I wanted to feel bad for Fee being sentenced to solitary - that's pretty harsh. But then I considered all his heinous crimes and got over myself quickly.

Sally, this was an outstanding effort on your part. To be able to develop these characters, and consistently write and move a story along like you've done all these months is commendable. I would never be able to focus on one piece for as long as you do, and I would end up writing myself into a corner, lol!

Well done, my friend. I'm so sorry you're having to do this with your eyesight leaving you, but you do it so well and I know you'll find a way to continue.

Thank you so much for a great read.

xoxo
Pam

Aw, that was a dramatic ending. I Liked it all, but I was especially attracted to the court romm scene. Probably because I'm a later myself. Now on to the epilogue. This has been one fine story, Sally. Ulla xxx

You have an angel, Sally. This is another excellent chapter. What a change in Ellington, who knew. I do not see any room for improvement. Have a blessed day.

Sally,
I've heard of criminals accepting Christ while imprisoned, but it's rare for a criminal to be so contrite in court. But it does happen.
Your story is nice-Lu paced, and the fire scene had me on edge.
Good luck with this installment and with your whole story. You make law really interesting.
Have a nice week.
Hugs,
Blessings,
Cindy.

Interesting picture. Yours?
Sad to hear your plight with your sight.
Now that your story is complete will you take it to Amazon or what is it you do with a self-written book?

    Thank you, Tom. The picture is from pixabay.com. I publish with Amazon Books and Amazon Kimdle, 5 total in the crime/fiction genre. I also have three of my books on Audible if you like audiobooks. I'm active in my blind community and hopefully I will have all eight books on Audible one day. It's rather expensive though and time consuming because first the book has to be published in soft cover or Kindle, then I had to find and hire a voice actor and have an audio transcript made for Audible. The process took about about a month (for one book) and it's pricey. Blessings,
    Sal
