WOW, Co-Author! I am speechless (and, as you know, I'm not quiet all that often). YOU are the AWESOME one, so the shiny six stars, "SALUTES" and "TOOT TOOT!" are all because of you. As for the "ILLLYC" and XOX, well, I'm gonna keep those close to my heart forever! "YOU BETCHA! Now, let's finish up on our last three chapters and get our first co-authored book published next month! HURRAH!

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Aw, Cathy, twins! I always wanted twins, they are such fun. Mine were just under three years apart, but just as much fun. Now we have to help this little girl come through, she can't die! The girl keeps an eye on the boy, so she has to live. And poor Cathy, worried out of her mind. I hope everything is alright. Well done, my friend, another excellent chapter. :)) Sandra xx

This was extremely well done and I look forward to the next chapter. I don't have a six star rating left or I would give it to you. I cannot write special dialog like you do so I salute your talent.

What a surprise...twins. (We have twins in our family and they are a great joy to us here.) I like the story because it's so family originated from the beginning to this chapter. Love it!

Comment from BHWatson
I enjoyed reading this chapter. It is a lovely dip into history at a human level. I struggled a little with the transitions between the two people, as they happened quite quickly. I was just settling in to being with one person and it jumped to the next. If this is the cadence of the book to keep the pace, I am sure it is a pattern that makes sense. I haven't read the previous chapters at this point, but will try to get a sense of the larger story to see who your target audience is. Thank you for sharing. I wish you all the best with getting this published.

Greetings, BHWatson! First of all, we both want to welcome you to FanStory and to say you have a beautiful smile! Thank you so much for stopping by to read and review this chapter. We're glad you enjoyed it. As for the exchanges between characters, we do have a pattern throughout our novel of switching back and forth. We encourage you to read back chapters, and we hope you will continue to follow along as we write our remaining chapters. The book is already being professionally edited and typeset. It is scheduled to be published by the end of July. HURRAH! Chapter 31 is in the works and will be posted soon. Wishing you all the best. God Bless.

Comment from Ric Myworld
Well, I almost passed up the chance to read your chapter since I've already missed the first 29, and it isn't likely I could ever read enough to catch up. But, I'm sure glad I didn't. An old Kentucky farm boy, I had to laugh when you informed readers about Smoky Mountain talk and punctuation. Heck, that's the way I talk anyway. Then, you mentioned Pigeon Forge and my mind snapped back to sitting beside Esco Hankins record shop, listening to a bluegrass band, watching the cloggers in the parking lot, and the older, tall gentleman in white pants and shoes, red shirt, and white-neck scarf, as his legs kicked higher and higher, clicking and clacking in rhythm with the song. Five good ol' mountain boys sat against the wall, bibbed overalls, no shoes, and gray beards to their waists, playing along with French harps, or harmonicas, or whatever they call them these days. Sorry, I didn't mean to write you a novella. Yours and Bill's descriptive writing just took me back home for a bit. Great job, and thanks for sharing. I wish I had a six.

Comment from Margaret Bednar
What heroic characters are Grandma and Grandpa. The arrival of twins is certainly upping the excitement level - and in the backseat of a car. One thought is it is good dialogue but should you add in a bit of the senses - it is winter, probably a bit cold - is there snow?

Hi Margaret, Good suggestion here! We are happy with the chapter, but will remember that the other senses are important, too--thank you so much for the reminder.

How in the world can you leave us all hanging? Congratulations on TWO babies born on Christmas. That's some-kind-of-wonderful. And your grandparents delivering them.
Really like Bill's romantic poem.
Thank you for sharing your story, and keeping those years of history alive via positive outlook.
Well done!
