I'm one of those old boys who is always a sucker for happy endings, and long as I've been reading your stories you've never let the story end in a bad way. Thanks for sharing.

I like happy endings too. The drama is fun (in a book), but when it's done and over, I want happy people. Thanks for reading the book so loyally and being so kind with your reviews.
Smiles and hugs, Carol

I always enjoy your stories, and rubbing shoulders along the way. :-)

Superb ending!! Well done, Carol, I for one enjoyed every chapter, it was fabulous. The ending was stunning. You really deserve to win this contest, the plot was allowed to develop so we could keep track of the characters, and what was going on. Troy's brother ... oh I do hope he suffers in jail. Well done, my friend. Brilliant!!!!! Love and hugs. Sandra xx

I'm so thrilled! I'm so happy that you enjoyed the entire story. I did too! It's been fun and a pleasure to write again. I can feel Mike and my mom smiling over my shoulder... now I believe I would like to self-publish. Not sure where to start. I do know I've chosen something different for the cover though.... something with flash and a reminder of a story I wrote long ago. As for Harrison... I'll hide my grin, but I do believe he will get what's coming to him when is behind bars. Thank you!Thank you! Thank you!
Love you ... smiles and hugs, Carol

You must publish this book, it's easy to self publish, I've done it several times. And start that new story! xxx
Comment from Terry Broxson
Carol, I should have saved a six for the end of the week. Considering how fast you wrote this book, I am humbled by your ability. I have read only one other book in the challenge, by Douglas Goff. Your books have very similar themes and plots.
I am grateful you both gave a list of characters at the end of the chapters. That helped me a lot. LOL. I would encourage you to read his book, as I will also encourage him to read yours.
I think you will do very well in the contest. Excellent. Terry.

I am thrilled by your review and kindness. Thank you for letting me know about Douglas. I had no idea if anyone else was in the contest. It's been fun writing this one and accepting the challenge.
Smiles, Carol

I told all I could think of to read you. You write great. The ending was a little rushed, but I really don't see how you could have done much differently. What's your next story gonna be about? Karen :-)

funny you should ask...LOL I'm sitting here working on something and trying to get ideas at the moment. Maybe a crime scene with ghosts, romance, wrong bodies and some humor. LOL I'm not sure I could pull it off...just thinking! Thanks for reading and reviewing and for all your help. Have a great day!
Smiles, Carol

When you have bodies, remebering to use a car with a deep trunk, or a camper with a darkened window, Or an older clean model of a Van with advertising on the side! :-)
-
I thought maybe the wrong body in a casket....and the cheating widow arrives LOL
-
Read my "home body" to see how that could work. I would favor the body being hoisted by the ushers, and the body falls out, it isn't Carlton Howard billings the 45 years old bank manager with a roving eye and sticky fingers, But Tillie Buckman the 95 year old Favorite school Teacher who dropped dead reading "fox in Socks" by Dr. Suess to the kindergartners. Ideas I am full of them, mostly humorous and dark, :-)

You have wrapped the story beautifully with this chapter. Not only did you rapid you put a beautiful bow on it as well. I enjoyed the final chapter as much as the rest of the book. I wish you the very best with all of your writing this day and forward. Patricia .

Comment from Julie Helms
Congratulations at crossing the finish line!!
Great job! I love the happy ending and the comeuppance.
You have taken a complex cast of characters and woven a great tale of drama and intrigue.
One thing I saw:
"I tried to tell you at the atrium, but again, when we arrived at the station, (then again when we arrived...) maybe?
As I mentioned before, if you ever wanted to make this standard novel length, you wouldn't need any more characters or plot. You have a ton of action packed in here. All you would need is to fill out each scene, slow it down a bit.
Magnificent job, Carol, you did good!

Stars to light up my day!!! I am thrilled you loved the ending. I was worried if I had wrapped it all up in a neat package or not. And I can thank Grammarly for that but...I changed it and it changed it back. I haven't checked the final count since it keeps changing when I make corrections but it's around 49,000. I am thrilled with this accomplishment and more so, because you and the others have found it enjoyable. Thank you again!
Smiles, Carol
