Hi Barb,
Nice chapter with Paige and Patricia getting to know each other. Easy flow of conversation between all four too.
I like the way the Sherman and the Civil War were subtly brought into the conversation as the end hook.
Cheers & Keep Smilin'... Jax

Thank you for your kind review. We were stationed in different parts of the south and many parts are still fighting the Civil War. How sad.
Comment from Sankey
This is really lovely history and all. I do think if the opportunity ever presents itself I would still like to try and come to America. Health not real good and I know my wife could not cope being disabled and all. So is there still something using the tram tracks there? Must be horse drawn if so? Loving the story. You really have hit on something here. No Spags.

The tours still use them, but not really the tracks, they just follow them. I took one of the horse and buggy tours quite a few times. I love it. I have also taken the bus tour. Its a small bus.

OK Thanks for that. Can't think of the name of it there is a movi9e with matt Damon, and Robert Redford?? in it and some other good actors about the Golf Game in Savannah is it Bagger Vance?
-
I don't know, but there's a movie about how strange Savannah is called Midnight Garden of Good and Evil. A very interesting movie.
-
Ok so the haunted houses thing is still current then?
-
Yes it is.

Hi Barbara,
I see where your coming from with those first post. I can't help but wonder how many of those ancestors(though deceased) still live there. Good job with this chapter. Thank you for sharing.

Barb, good thing you posted early. Don't think I can afford more time here before the holidays. See some suggestions:
**OK, I didn't get to post this review before I left. So here it is now:
You look hot. I'll get some lemonade. - the 'hot' part sounds like she's saying the woman looks terrific. How about 'flushed'?
Or
You look like you could do with a cold drink...
Does anything in those bags need [to be] in the refrigerator?" - insert those words
I know how much you hate mud on your truck." Billy Joe chuckled, took Cash's keys, and held the chair as [she] stood. - after quite a gap, not sure who 'she' refers to here. Is it his wife, or Paige?
Paige turned [her head] when she heard Cash call her name. "I'm in the library." - not needed.
[When she heard] footsteps come closer, - repetition too close. Try to vary:
As his footsteps approached, she looked up from a book and smiled.
"It seems when Major General William Tecumseh Sherman." - I don't get this speech. Something missing?

Yes, there are place where the Civil War is still being fought. This is an engaging read. You're doing well presenting the realistic aspects of it while leading up to the supernatural.

This is great that you are writing another book. I love the setting. The dialogue's here seemed very realistic and 'in the moment'. I felt like I was there.

Hi Barbara,
Yes, the war might be over but the battles rage on. As you know, I'm in the middle of a novel set in New Orleans, and it's a pretty constant theme.
The War of Northern Aggression. Really good one here, loved the bit of repartee and now that Paige has a woman friend, she'll stop getting lost, lol!
Great chapter,
Hugs,
Gayle

I think Paige's lack of directions is here to stay. I enjoyed your review.

Oh, I'm beginning to see why the first two chapters were needed....duh...I'm a little slow...this was well-written and should prove to be quite a love story...I hope. God bless.

Comment from Mishelly
Another great chapter. I loved the exchanges between the three women, plus the humor between Cash and Billy Joe. Your dialogue comes across very realistically.
I'm curious to see how Bradley and Alice are going to be further involved in the story. I'm finding it all very intriguing and can't wait to continue reading with the next chapter.
