These descriptions of the emotional turmoil going on between Mac and James are really insightful. I enjoy reading your chapters almost as instruction.

Fascinating back story for James's dad
Ah, James has a brilliant idea - they are always worth pursuing - you have me ready for the next chapter. Excellent dialogue between Mac and James :-) Brooke

    This is where most of the major changes I made come into play. I thought there needed to be more about dear old dad. Glad you liked this one.

This is absolutely top-rate writing, Smurphgirl. Your series is fascinating and this chapter is a very smart and deftly developed addition. Look forward to reading more as your characters are addicting! Best wishes, Bev

Hi SG - I haven't read your posts in awhile. What a loss for me. This was awesome, paced extremely well, no wasted words and a great balance between dialog and narrative. I should have waited until tomorrow when I had a new allotment of sixes - well worth one. Best ... Bill

Your style is original. I really like the way it moves. Nice work. So sorry but quite frankly I dont see anything at all that should be changed. I hope I can write at this level some day. Thank you very much for sharing your art. Please keep it up!...

Good story development. Like the way you are bringing the story along at a good pace. The dialog is good and very believable. Beginning to like the policeman. His character is slowly being peeled layer by layer. Good writing.

There is no way of shutting James down without him knowing the truth. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for an easy read.

I don't remember this information about the dad in the first version. I really like it. It gives us more insight to the dad. Once again a perfect post.

Another terrific chapter! I especially enjoyed where James realizes that Mac is about to tell him things that are "between God and himself". The next chapter, with the talk with his mother and aunt should be fascinating. Stay healthy and keep writing.
