Your story is getting better with each chapter. I trust you will make things turn out okay in the end. I love the use of the Irish accent throughout the story. I'm looking forward to the nest addition to the story.

    Good morning, April.... Sometimes the sorry hits too close to home and I have to take a break, but I believe that's what adds to the characters. I'm so glad you enjoy Paddy and Amanda. I do too!

Dion was on the football team, and football players get tested regularly; it's the law. A pee test would verify this. Dion will no doubt not continue to be a footballer. Good luck with the story. Karen

It's always fun when you bring Paddy into place and give us some of your outstanding Irish dialect that you do better than anyone. And as challenged as I am with changes in speech, I always seem to understand every word. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

    You are so special...Thank you for relieving me of some of my misgivings about the dialect. Some have said they can't follow or it makes it difficult. I even lightened up on the brogue but I thought it gave more depth to the characters. I enjoy it....makes me miss Frankie! Thank you again.....

This is another excellent chapter. When I hear the Irish Brough, I have to listen harder. When I read it, I have to slow my reading down and sound out each syllable. Good job. I do not see any room for improvement. Have a blessed day.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is the first chapter of this book, that i have read. In the beginning I had a bit of a struggle understanding the Irish, but that is the very thing that caught my interest. After a few paragraphs I caught on and the story began to flow much smoother in my mind. You pulled me into a very well written chapter. The characters are believable, and the interaction between them is well described in both dialog and in visual terms as well. Thank you. Mr. Green

    Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Green. I tried to tone down the brogue because others were having difficulty as well, but I thought it added a special layer to the characters. I truly appreciate your kindness and hope you will continue to follow the story as it gets entwined even more.

Dion is innocent. The only thing he's guilty of is attempting to help Gabby. I sure hope that comes out and very soon. You are doing a great job writing this story and I really like it.

    Thank you, Barbara..... Some of it gets too real at times, but I guess that's what gives the characters life. I appreciate your comments.
