I seldom to almost never read scripts, but I remember reading one of your posts a few weeks back and wanting to come back for me. And I'm glad I did.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for spending time to read and review. I am aiming to get number 20 posted soon for John Shane and Shorty fans.
Comment from Michael Ludwinder
This is so funny! I love the way each character brings their own personality to the story. The back and forth about the wart remedies is hilarious! The dialogue is wonderful and really makes it enjoyable. Great job!

Thank you so much for your enthusiastic review. I am now busy trying to finish short script number 20 and hope to post it soon.
Comment from Sue Smith
Well I didn't see that coming! Well done. As well as being funny it's a very professionally written script so I wasn't surprised to see you did a degree with a creative writing emphasis. The characters come across as well rounded and contrast nicely with each other and the dialogue is very natural and entertaining. I wasn't sure you needed to refer to Sterling being a horse after the first mention. After that if you just said Sterling we'd know it was a horse. But that's a tiny thing in a really successful and entertaining piece.

I cannot believe how far you travelled to deliver that Joke. Well at least the trip was free and there were some interesting sites along the way. I did enjoy the byplay between John, Shorty and Willy.

Thank you. I am starting to hurt a little bit less. I do not think I will ever be totally ok again.

Your notes were as interesting as your script, which was completely enjoyable. I enjoyed the humorous aspects of it and that last line caused a verbal groan from me which is always a good thing! lol A fun read!

Wow! You really did your research to put this script together. And the research notes are just as interesting as the story line. This piece was easy to visualize and fun to read. Well done!

Comment from LJbutterfly
A fascinating, historical fiction tale was told in this script. This was my first exposure to John Shane and Shorty. I enjoyed the realistic interaction between the two of them. You allowed their individual personalities to show.
I appreciate the information included in your notes, explaining the meaning of ground tying and the origin of snake oil.

Comment from Begin Again
Great job, and very entertaining to read. I could envision every character and how they would fit so well into the past, though a snake-oil salesman could be a current-day label on a few people in politics trying to sell our country on things. Oops! Enough of that! You did a great job with the script. Thank you for sharing your humor with the reader.
Smiles and hugs, Carol

Oh wonderful! These two always bring a smile and a laugh. I must admit, I'd be very tempted by that medicine too if there's any going spare:)) A great finale as well! With your excellent notes, this is the complete package! Well done! Debbie

Comment from Jacob1395
I loved how your character's personalities came to life in this piece and how you made each of them sound unique. The humour in the piece came through really well, particularly when John talked about the last time he bought medicine from a salesman, which made me smile as I was reading it. An excellent, entertaining piece, I really enjoyed it.
