This was a very interesting read. I am hoping it my progress into something further down the road. Well done a great imagination in all this. Figures through walls and all that. No spags.

    Wrote this one a few weeks ago for the contest (that i missed..ugh). :) I had teacher meetings all last week (for which I had to prepare the week before) and this week are the parent and student orientations....then school starts next week... So, I'm really just trying to play catch up! Thanx for those beautiful stars, sir! ;) Take care! Yvette

    Nah... this was simply a short story entry for a few weeks ago -- no plans beyond this. :) Thanx for this wonderful review, ma'am, and for more bright stars -- I'm slowly digging out of my reponse/review hole, but I fear it may be a losing battle! ;) ;) Take care! ;) Yvette

My Immensely Talented Lady of the South... You really need to put together a book of short stories or something and publish these things. You are such a wonderful writer with a fabulous imagination! I love how these people just started walking through walls and chimneys... lol Good thing she wasn't the type to get freaked out by a seduction scene in the middle of nowhere! I may have turned tail and run for the hills! LOL

    Oh, you are just what I needed to hear, Beautiful Lady!! ;) Been a long weekend and then awful time spent in the medical system all morning...yuck!! But finally taking a break from school prep (and just not even looking at email till later - lol!) this is such a wonderful surprise! ;) So glad you enjoyed the Major and "team" -- they were fun to write! ;) Take care up there this week! ;) Yvette

I missed the description that said it was a ghost story, but I began to figure it out part way threw. This is well done, a fun story of matching making and amazing cleaners. I wish I had some of these ghosts at my house. Sorry you missed the deadline. Rox

Excellent! Charming engaging narrative. This was a great deal of fun to read. I'm certain your readers will find it enjoyable as well. Excellent character development and great attention to detail. I hope that you continue to expound on this. It has enormous potential as a kind of modern day "Ghost and Mrs. Muir" cable or web series. Good job!

This is a wonderful story. Full of show, don't tell details. For a while, I was afraid the Major and crew were evil, but it turns out they were matchmakers. I can see Rich being taken aback by the reference to two centuries. I think I would have run! Seems like two people have found each other.

Very interesting story. It reads really well. You caught my attention

To me there were a few misplaced sentences giving back story.
However, it did not pull too much energy from the writing. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this piece.

Seems like there were some magical ghosts who came to clean before the actual cleaning lady showed up? Hope she's an eligible bachelorette for Rich. Very likable characters!

Sweet. Sounds like my in-laws. He wanted a housekeeper at first, then when she held out, she received a marriage proposal.

The match-makers were angels in disguise with a Martha Stewart twist. I thought the romantic settings were leading to something good. Well penned in your unique style.
Sending you my best today as always,
