Thank you for your story. Unlike some that want to pick apart or complain of some section or complain about typographical errors I do not. I read your story for entertainment and I was greatly entertained. A good story takes you away from the world you live in and brings you into the world created by the author and you succeeded greatly. Thank you

It was definitely a different read. But in a good way. I couln’t stop reading and when I did, I couln’t wait to start again. I’m glad that boy Rod found Hope. I was a little worried that you would forget him, but I guess I did’nt need to worry. I hope I get to read more of your work. Keep up the great writing.

Thank you, Aaron! That was a fantastic read - I read the whole thing in just two sittings.

As you were asking for opinions, here's my thoughts: I followed the GalleyCat link to your book, so I only started reading at Part 6 and it grabbed me right from the start, so well that I never slowed down long enough to go back and read what happened in those first 5 parts. Sorry!

I wonder if those chapters are even necessary from a reader's perspective? IMHO, Part 6 is a powerful piece of writing. It tells just enough to orient the reader without bogging them down in backstory.

“Ending are awfully hard” is an understatement I have never been able to finish anything over a short story. I applaud your efforts and commend you on a wholly entertaining novel. I hope you didn’t take my comment as a slight on your writing abilities. Some how my email feed had gotten bunched up again and I didn’t get the last 6 or so “episodes”. I read them all yesterday in succession and I have to say it was a shock when I realized that the novel was over. Kind of like saying good bye to an old friend when you turn the last page (so to speak). Will be looking forward to the new one.

Cheers!

Thanks, Lee.

Endings are awfully hard and I wanted to make sure it didn't turn into "Elliot and Evajean: The Action Heroes" at the climax. I imagine it'll get revised a bit for the revised draft, however. Still, it felt like the right ending to me.

I'm really glad you enjoyed the novel. And thank you for reading it. That, by itself, is a terrific compliment for any writer.

The next one's launching soon. I'm tweaking the first chapter now, in fact. Look for it in the next couple days.

WoW! Very good read over all… a little anticlimactic at the end here, but overall very enjoyable… Can’t wait to read the next one.
