I've not been about to get you off my mind for week now, so it must have been a message you'd be back soon. I'm so glad to have opened my inbox to find your chapter and magical way with words like: "His striking good looks made most women's eyes linger longer than etiquette allowed, and he always rewarded them with a warm smile." Nothing written in a show-offy way, but from a huge vocabulary and eloquent style at your disposal. Welcome back! It's been way too long. I wish I had a six. Thanks for sharing.

    I believe that sentence must have been with you in mind!! I am in a much better place. I stood on the edge of a cliff and thought it was over, but thoughts of people who care made me take a step back and then another, I missed your smile and how you always lift my spirits. I am so thrilled to hear from you again. Smiles and hugs always, my friend.

Welcome back Carol, I'm so sorry that things haven't been good for you. Your distinct style has been missed, you've always has a distinctive style, unlike everyone else, so it's good to establish the plot, with good distinctive characters, and enough villainy to establish emotion in the plot, well done, good to see you, well done, blessings Roy

    I've missed you and all the encouragement you always provide me. It's been a long and frightening road, but I believe the Lord has led me back to a good spot.

    I'm flattered by your kind thoughts and appreciate them more than I can say. I hope the story doesn't disappoint, but I feel good about it. Thank you!

    Have a great day! Smiles and hugs, Carol

Welcome back, Carol. It's a relief to know you are still amongst us! I'm glad to see you're writing again. I keep wondering how your last novel ended. :)

Your writing is still as strong as ever, if this first chapter to a new novel is any indication. You've set up a strong story line and done a great job of creating two of the characters. I look forward to reading more.

    Good morning, Judy. Circumstances put me in a dark spot and I couldn't write anything including the ending to the other novel (but I promise to go back to it).

    I needed a fresh start and finally, this story came to me. I thank you for your kind and encouraging review. Since you are familiar with my stories, I will let you know that I have returned to Hank's beginnings and when he met Emmy. I hope you enjoy it!

    I'm smiling again and thrilled to share one with you. Thanks for the review. Hugs, Carol

    I'm so relieved to know you're doing better. When you kept referring to your health issues, as well as the other ongoing problems, I worried you'd left us. :( So glad you're back.

The sad thing is those wars never stop. Even when a leader dies, it goes back to the remaining family. What a wonderfully written chapter. Best of luck with your writing!

Have a great day, and God bless.

    Good morning, Mike.

    I was terrified to return to writing (I imagined the worst of course) so I am thrilled that you enjoyed this chapter and hope you will continue to follow. Thank you for your encouragement and kind words.

    Have a great day! Smiles and hugs, Carol
