What I liked about this was the honest voices in the dialogue, very colloquial, and it made the characters come alive. We feel the passions of Cathy and Bill; the emotionally charged moment when Cathy explodes and then calms down when she finds the seductive nurse fired. They make up in the truck...while grandpa takes a drink and gets his head lost watching the lovers in the back. That truck keeps swerving, setting us up for...the crash! I think you have some good suspense there and it leaves us hanging for the next chapter. estory

Hi estory! Thank you so much for reading and reviewing Chapter 9 of Love Long Distance. We're so glad you enjoyed it and really appreciate your detailed comments. That the characters "came alive" to you means so very much to us. Hurrah! Chapter 10 is in the works and coming soon.

Comment from Commando
An "AWESOME" penning, Cathy! My Law School Professor at Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tennessee once said to me, "Normality is a behavior that can be normal for an individual when it is consistent with the most common behavior for that person." As a rule, I don't review publicity chapters of a book that I am co-authoring. However, Chapter 9 of "Love Long Distance" Is above and beyond my rule. Therefore, may I say, "Your writing is Astonishing!" Writing at your side is an honor--a "SALUTE!" Respectfully with Admiration, Bill

Hi Bill! Thank you SO MUCH for giving me the honor of writing with you. I do believe that it's not me, but YOU who deserves all the recognition and praise. A "SALUTE!" "SALUTE!" (Yes, I give you two...and MORE!) Thank you, also, for the shiny six stars, and for putting up with me! I think YOU ARE THE BEST, my AWESOME co-author! "Toot Toot!" Now, onward to Chapter 10.
With Love, Respect and Admiration,
Cathy

Hmm! Three "SALUTES" to you--"GOODY, GOODY!"
With Love, Respect and Admiration,
Bill

Your story is a pleasure to read. I like the way that you incorporated the poem within your prose and the media at the end make this quite a lovely production. Well done.

Comment from Iza Deleanu
What is Love? "Grandpa also told me that love is like seeing baby deer, feeding near, and slow falling rain; awaking from a dream of fishing in a stream and catching Speckled Mountain Trout."
Beautiful chapter that brings back memories from the past of an old couple and project wisdom and freshness into the new one: Bill and Cathy:) Thank you for sharing

Comment from Mystic Angel 7777
This is well penned. I progresses in a fluid and logical manner from start to finish. The touches of poetry interspersed through the story continue to enhance the romantic nature of the overall tone of the piece. I was happy to see that the brazen nurse was fired as she deserved to be. Nicely done and thank you very much for sharing it.

Hello Cathy & Bill,
Lovely piece of Romance Fiction having lucid and natural wording, smooth and captivating flow throughout from the beginning to the end.
Depiction of Romantic moments of 'Grandpa and Grandma', and these lines are particularly noteworthy:
"there will never be another
who could ever take your place.
Distance, time, or even circumstance,
Could not divert or begin to erase..."

Hello Cathy and Bill
This chapter is better than the last one. I could feel the anger that Cathy had when the nurse was schmoozing with Bill. The emotions came out and slammed us into the wall. Also the poetry was a nice touch. Ok now the truck is crashing, what's next? smiling. Very well written.

Comment from Patty Palmer
I'm enjoying reading your book. I've been following it along and then keep watching for the next chapter. It's written well and I like the characters. I also like when things are referred to and then followed with something about it. Like Bobby Vinton, There I've Sad it Again. And TAB. I believe it was the first diet free pop. It actually had a bitter taste to it. Probably from the Saccharin. That was about the only sweetener back then and they knew it was harmful but people wanted diet so they could drink without feeling guilty over all the calories.
Great job!
Patty

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hi Tootie. This roller coaster has a lot of ups and downs. Now what's up with the truck? There are two things in the story that "got" me. Popcorn Sutton and I were born the same year. We never knew each other or did any business, I just know of his "fame" and he was born in Maggie Valley. The other thing that caught me was Bobby Vinton and, "There, I've said it Again." I loved that song. I'm still reading and I'm in for the long run. Keep Going. Robert

I'm so glad everything turned out alright, that the bit of bickering didn't break them apart. Actually, I think it might've brought them closer. Great chapter as always, great hook at the end.
