Donatelli has been awakened to what is going on right under his, while he's flying around, his temper and his stubbornness and indignation are getting in his way of seeing clearly, he's fortunate that he has two people focussed enough to guide his obstinacy, can he stop the intention of stopping powerful forces from carrying out their will? Beautifully written Carol, blessings Roy

    Thanks, Roy! I think he's had an eye opener now! Or at least I hope so...He needs to sit with Garth, compare notes, and get working on this crime...or should I say crimes. thank you so much for reading another chapter and enjoying. I appreciate it very much.
    Smiles, Carol

Wow! That was one hell of a chapter, Carol. I could feel all the tension, fear, anger, the emotions were a roller coaster of gigantic proportions. Now perhaps Donatelli will start acting like a detective again, doing something that he is good at. Danni was good, she tried to get her boss to listen, but he was still pig headed. So what was it that upset Donatelli when he left the room? And we still have Garth to come onto the scene and make up with Donatelli, that'll be something good!! Well done, my friend. loved this chapter. Love and hugs Sandra xxx

    Garth's got the grill going and the steaks marinating so he's waiting for Donatelli to show up, but one was at a crime scene and the other ...well, he attended my birthday party. LOL Moving in that direction though.... So much to work into the story... and I guess I need to be more careful with my commas and periods.... Not that I can see them anymore. LOL

    So glad you could sense all the tension. that's wheat I was aiming for.... Another few explosions! Appreciat the review as always.
    Smiles and hugs, Carol

I know you already know this, but you have a great story on your hands, but the errors you're making with the dialogue draw the reader out of the story. I'm going to be a little harsh here, but I know you can do better. Please edit more, mainly dialogue.

Johan hesitated, then continued, his voice strained. "A large (strained,)

Danni finally interjected, her voice soft yet probing. "A threat? (probing,)

Danni tried again. "Matthew, I think we need to consider --" (again,)

    I appreciate your help and the punctuation has been fixed, but to be perfectly honest, I can't see them. It's not an excuse because mistakes are mistakes, but often I think I have the right comma or period, but I can't see it. I'll try harder.

    Thank you for reading the story. Sorry my periods took the enjoyment away. It terrifies me about how long I will be able to continue. I read about everyone else and their eye sight problems and pray. Please Lord, help me.

    Thank you as always.
    Smiles, Carol

    I don't know what to do. If I acknowledge them it takes time to note them and that takes me out of the story. If I ignore them, then it doesn't help you. See my problem?

    I fully understand and I do appreciate all your effort. I just didn't want you to think I was ignoring all that effort. It's just that I can't see the punctuation. sometimes I think I have put the right one there and think why did she say that...then I have to get real close to the screen and find ut I am an idiot. Please don't think I didn't appreciate all that you do. Trying to get into the eye doctor again but that's a trip and a half. Next year!!!

    Can you use larger font to write or what I do is increase the size with this little button in my screen, don't know what it's called, but it makes things larger and smaller. I have to write in huge font. My guys tease me.
reply by the author on 05-Sep-2024
    I am writing in 18 but I guess I will have to try larger but then it messes with the screen... but it's worth a try.
reply by barbara.wilkey on 05-Sep-2024
    I write in 28 and then still enlarge the page.
reply by the author on 05-Sep-2024
    Really...Will it still give you the right scale on the paper when you make it smaller?
reply by barbara.wilkey on 05-Sep-2024
    It always does. I do it for every novel I've written and posted.
reply by the author on 05-Sep-2024
    I'll try going bigger. Anything is better than this.

    Good luck. I do write on a PC and not on a laptop. I did use a laptop this weekend at Steven's. So, it shouldn't make a difference.

Carol, that blood-soaked bed wasn't a nice thing to do to a person reading this on almost zero sleep! :-) I will try to stay current on your postings but I have company coming for a week and I may not be able to keep up as I would like. Try not to kill off anyone important lol
