I'm still here. This is a fascinating story that I can never predict. I love your imagination. You could get Michael to tae kwondo classes so Joe could defend himself when he returns to the past. Okay, I know, can't take the chance the chance of changing the course of the future. Just like in Star Trek where they have to follow the prime directive.

Comment from Walu Feral
G'day Cousin.
Just thought I'd take 5 mins from this horrible editing and read your story.
"They didn't die of old age because they were only in their late fifties." (Feels bloody old to me, mate! Takes me all night to do what I used to do all night... ummm... I mean wee-wee hahahaha!)
""It were the fire," he said in a voice I didn't recognise, before closing his eyes again and snuggling back into his father's side...." (Scary.)
"as we made our way up to the top floor to tuck both the children in their respective bedrooms(beds)."
"Poor James was going from one distraught woman to another." (That happens to me all the time, here, in the Philippines... sheesh! They are emotional women! Dr Feral... oops... Dr Phil. lol)
Beautifully written, mate. The dialogue is superb, as was the transition when the boy spoke... very smooth.
I'll try and catch the next one, but, I'm flat-out like a lizard drinking, at the moment.
Great job.
Cheers Fez

Aww, thank you so very much for the 6 stars, my sweet cousin, and for the lovely, fun review. I can imagine you going to calm the waters of all the women, lol, and I love the name, Dr Feral, that really suits you! LOL
How is your book coming along? The editing is never ending, each time I think it's ready and read it again, I find something else! Let me know when it's published, I want to buy a copy and show all the Thwaites here, I know they'll want a copy too. There's loads of us!
Big hugs, my dear Fez! :) Sandra xxx

Thanks cousin.
It's such a boring job and I spend most of the time Googling rules that I don't understand... like punctuation hahahaha! But it's too expensive to hire someone, so it has to be done, by this chief editor lol.
Comment from Thomas Bowling
Very good.
"He's always liked a little bitta chocolate, but he's bin driving me near crazy for it the last coupler weeks. It be the first thing he asks for when he comes down in the morning."
The reality of this line struck me. When my daughter was two left her with her grandmother for the day. When I picked her up she was eating a stick of butter. My mother said she asked for it. She said a little butter isn't going to hurt her. You and your brothers ate worse things than that.

I tell you, Tom, us grandparents are the terrors, at least, that's what my sons' tell me, LOL. I told them that was our job to spoil our grandchildren, the same way their did when they were children.
Thank you so much for this fun review, my friend. :) Sandra xx
Comment from smbau
Very imaginative story. Written in the first person's style. I liked the statement
"Yes, knowledge! That's the only thing you can carry when you time travel." It also appears that those who time travelled, come back to present with knowledge namely truth. Was confused with the role of the character listed
Joe Hammett - Joe's father who disappeared through a time portal and Veronica must find.

I couldn't understand what you meant about Joe Hammett - Joe's father until I had a look! LOL, Thank you so much for spotting that, you were the only one. It was supposed to read, Joe Hammett - Daveth's father. Joe has disappeared and Daveth asked Veronica to find him, and as you now know, she has but not where she wanted to! He's in her son. But not for much longer. Thank you so much for reading this part, I really appreciate your review. :) Sandra xxxx

You are welcomed:)
Comment from JDRBAR
No matter where I jump back into this story I find it fascinating. It's very well written. However, if you could please explain something to me, I'd be grateful. I know this Joe is Daveth's father. Then, I miss the connection with Joe's parents and Sir John. Frances is an albino. How is he connected to Joe?

The connection between the albino and Joe is, the child had been hidden away but somehow Joe got to see him. Sir John isn't sure yet what he's going to do with the 'devil' child he thinks Francis is. Now that Joe has seen him, he wants to ensure he doesn't say anything to anyone. The connection is that Joe works for Sir John as his gardener. How he saw the child will come to light later.
Joe's parents are only mentioned because Veronica is searching to see if Joe eventually got back to his own time. The only graves she found of the Hammett family were Joe's parents, Joe isn't there. Now Veronica is worried that he never gets back. Moreso now that she thinks he has taken over her three year old son's body. I hope that makes it a bit clearer. Now Veronica needs to come up with an idea that would enable Joe to go back to his own time willingly, and face Sir John.
Thank you so much for reading this part, it's going to liven up as more information comes to light. :) But, I can't let you in to that yet! :)) Thanks again. Sandra xxx

Thanks so much. Now everything is much clearer. Love this story.
Comment from rspoet
A very interesting chapter. I thought the Powers were controlling time travel,
which means they or Jowell must have sent Joe into the future for some reason.
We'll see what that reason turns out to be.
Also, they would return him to the past when they wanted.
Does Joe really have any control?
Playing with time can be dangerous, even for the Powers
I assume if Joe is occupying Michael's body, then his own must still be in the past
just as Veronica's was when she traveled in time.
Just a few thoughts.
This is a well developed chapter and James brings a sense of calm to this creepy scene
of possession. (like The Exorcist) LOL
Excellent dialogue in this part
Well done

You are a sharp eyed eagle, Robert! LOL, you'll get a couple of those answers in the beginning of chapter two, which will be either part 13 or 14. Other's will be answered sooner. NO, I'm not telling you!!!! LOL. Thank you so very much, my dear friend, for your amazing review, I do love it when you do that, it shows me you are taking it in, and it's keeping me on my toes! LOL Biggest hugs for the 6 stars, my friend! :)) Sandra xxxx
Comment from Pam (respa)
-Another intriguing chapter, Sandra.
-I like the family involvement.
-James is an objective observer,
and his medical background is a big help.
-It is understandable that Ver. and Mildred,
in particular, are distraught by Michael.
-Come to find out, Michael has been
doing some unusual things, and they
learn this as they try to put the puzzle together.
-I was wondering if they were sure it was Joe
who was using Michael as a way to avoid coming back?
-James has a good idea at the end, if it is Joe.

It will become clearer soon, and the 'council' will be meeting again to discuss what has happened and what they want to happen. That will be in roughly three to four more parts. Veronica needs to get her head some things before that. Thank you so much, my dear friend, for the lovely review and all those lovely stars! (especially the ones you added at the bottom, they mean a lot more.) Big hugs, my friend. :) Sandra xxxx

You are welcome and deserving, Sandra. I am glad you liked the new version of the stars! Ver. has so much to think about, and the clues are slim for her to go on. Hopefully, Michael will be okay.

Comment from wordsfromsue
Before I forget, the first time you mentioned James' 'scotch and soda', scotch was lower case. When you mentioned Scotch again, it was capitalized. I don't know which one is correct.
I like this chapter. I figured Michael was the recipient of a bit of time travelling. Kind of funny though, Veronica panicking so over Joe being in Michael, with as much as she body hopped!
I think James is wonderfully level headed. Level headed AND handsome.... nice! :-)

Hi Sue. I've changed scotch/Scotch, to whisky, because I haven't a clue which is right.
I think with Veronica is just being a mum, anything happening to her little boy is going to upset her. Reason doesn't come into it. She'll do anything to get Joe out. Which she will! LOL, yes, James is verrrrrry handsome!
Thank you so much for continuing to read my book, my dear friend. How's your back? Did you manage to get an appointment with you own doctor? Let me know. Big hugs, my friend. xxx
