I found this extremely interesting and intriguing. This is something that I have never heard of before. I'm glad you added the footnotes and explained it a bit more. I may go on your facebook page and check this out some more.

Your profile as a teacher is mighty impressive. I like how it makes sense even though it's just one chapter from your book.
I don't usually read fiction stories but yours is enchanting and I give it a six stars. Mostly because it screams creativity. Well done!

Thank you for the lovely review and the shiny 6. This isn't fiction yet. It happened just this way when I was invited to accompany 2 of my friends to England since one was taking this harp therapy course. When we were there, we were reminded of some past life twinges. This story will deviate from the truth when...***Spoiler***I step through a vortex into the 7th century into a monastery. When we were there were were sure we were there in a past life. This inspired me to deviate a bit. That place has quite a history along with Glastonbury Tor. I've still got to study up on it. The monk- dom won't be too difficult as I was in the convent for 28 years...lol You're welcome to read along in the portfolio. There is no need for individual reviews. Just enjoy.

England has so much rich history, you have a great palette to start with.

I forget how old England is. The United States is so young.

A very nice continuation of the outing of your narrator and Cordelia. You have managed to portray tiredeness well, and tension because of things yet to come.

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is another interesting chapter in your story of finding energy zones. I think it would be good if you could write a little more about Silbury hill as it sounds like you are describing Mound Builder mounds in the USA. Also, with the phrase "eyes fixed on a stalwart . . " What is a stalwart? Don't recognize the term.

Stalwart is a strong powerful way of being.
There is little known about Silbury Hill. I did include a link.
-
I thought stalwart was being used as a noun, not an adjective. My mistake.
-
It is used as both parts of speech. I was personifying the mound. Here's a dictionary example: "In August, the Los Angeles-area stalwart the Lab also closed its dance space, a 12,000-square-foot location in West Covina. Known for its vigorous, ?Olympic-style? coaching of young dancers"

This was a fantastic continuation chapter, Liz. I really enjoyed the adventures of Madeline and Cornelia immensely. I felt at home with the stone circles but was cautious when the ladies approached Silbury Hill. Perhaps there is something there? I guess I will await the next chapter. Very well done, greatly enjoyed.

I enjoy reading chapters of stories on Fanstory. I just happened upon this chapter which is like being dropped in another world. You have piqued my curiosity. Your story is well-written. I do not see any room for improvement.

Yes I did that working my way through.

Great...big smile
Comment from lancellot
Very well done. Are those chills a forewarning of something about to happen during the drive? Perhaps Cordelia (love that name) will try and do something bad. Well, it is a cliff hanger, that makes the reader turn the page. Good job.

Thank you for your delightful review.You are only the 2nd one to pick up the foreshadowing. As long as we're on the fun subject. No one has caught Cordelia's significant, PUnny name
-
I thought you got that name from one of the female characters from the shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel.
Actually it was my grandmother's sister's name. Maybe I should spell her name differently Chordelia...see if you get it.
Comment from Judy Lawless
This is another fascinating chapter, Liz. I feel drawn to try to feel the energy or chills that the women are experiencing. It keeps me focused on the story. Well done.
One suggestion: in this paragraph, you've introduced the dialogue, but also told us what was going to be said before it was said, more or less.
"As we neared the last stone, Cordelia said she wondered if the backs of these stones were any different. "Hey, we never checked in the rear of these stones." - I would say: As we neared the last stone, Cordelia said, "Hey, we never checked in the rear of these stones. I wonder if there is a difference."

Thank you for your supportive review. You suggestion is much better. I'm glad to know it is having the effect I was hoping for. There is someone who wants me to make it more exciting. This is the way it happened. I do not need to embellish upon reality.

You're welcome, Liz, and you're right, you can't turn truth into fantasy.

Comment from lyenochka
I wonder why Madeline us feeling those chills. And how interesting that her camera could pick up the figures in the stone that were dancing. And how did they know that there was a similar site on Mars?
"I had to remove my pendant," *I wished for a bit more description about the pendant.) And was the pendant the "pendulum"??

The pendant is described in Chapter 9:"This is a yoga goddess with a moonstone for the face and an amethyst for the center." Do you think I should have reviewed it? Your other question was also covered in that conversation. That is what she uses for her pendulum because it is so convenient. That is the problem of the artificiality pf how we read chapters on here. This is why I'm devouring your great story.

Ah, you're right I am following too many stories all at once and yours comes once a week so I probably missed that detail. Thanks for explaining! I think even in a book, it's okay to give some details again. Focus isn't anyone's strong point in the realm of online reading these days. 😊

My ADD certainly can use repetition
Thank you, I can see how I can work it in
