I was sad that Tania didn't knock out Colin. I wanted her to beat him to a pulp with that leg. Now he's hurt her even worse. Grant better come up with his idea pretty quick! I think you need to write longer chapters! ð??? I hope you are feeling better. I'm glad you were able to get this week's chapter out. I look forward to my Sunday afternoon ritual reading your latest. I hope you have a good week! Take care, Sally

You might get your wish in a couple of parts time, Sally. Lol. Thank you so very much for this lovely review, you've really made my day with what you said about your Sunday afternoon ritual. I couldn't be happier! Thank you, and a humongous hug for the six stars! Have a lovely week, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

My shingles have spread a bit more, so I'm having to chew on a lump on wood to stop me screaming my head off!! :( I'm coping okay, though, but I'll be so pleased when they go. Thanks for asking, that was so nice of you. xxxx

Wow, the intensity of this chapter was sure ramped up, Sandra. You did a great job with it. Tania is in such danger that you portrayed so well. That Colin is a psycho. Does he really believe he will have a life of any kind after all that has happened and may continue before it is over? I'm so glad Tania at least got her wits together and tried to protect herself. Grant and his team better hurry with their plan if she is to survive. Your words were well-chosen and the flow/action was great.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

What a lovely review, Jan, thank you so very much! Grant now has to find the question, and fast. I hope you are coping my friend. I think of your often. Warmest hugs. Sandra xxx

Sandra:

It's tough when your brilliance is the one thing that is keeping
others from rescuing you from the person who is persecuting
you and using your talent against you. What an evil being Colin
is. I look forward to your next rendering.

I never looked at it that way, you're right. It is because she did such an amazing job. But, we won't give up yet. Thank you so much my friend, for this lovely review. I appreciate your kind comments. Warm hugs. Sandra xx

-Tania really knew how to wield that table leg!
-She definitely has a lot to worry about, too.
-The scene between her and Colin is
very descriptive and really shows his
evil nature; it is like he isn't human; this
is a good example, "An insane, chilling howl."
-I don't even want to imagine what he
is going to do with the rope.
-I sure hope Grant and his crew figure out
where he has Tania.
-Jeff has the right idea; she wouldn't not
get in touch with Monica.
-I do like the very positive comments Grant
has about her plans and her work.
-The discussion among the men is
done well, as Grant outlines his plan,
but now the question is, what next?!
-Well done, my friend, but get
Tania some help soon!!!
-I wouldn't be surprised if Monica
found her, and went in there and
faced Colin down, and then took Tania
with her!

'Thank you so very much, my wonderful friend, for the lovely golden star, and the fabulous review. I've changed 'wooden leg' to table leg. (I forgot to mention that)
You ask, 'what next?' Hmm. You and Grant have a big shock coming up. But you'll both have to wait for a few more parts. :)) LOL.

Thanks again, my dear friend. Warm hugs, and love, Sandra xxx

You are very welcome and deserving of the stars and review, Sandra. I am glad you liked the suggestion. I always love it when you give those bits of foreshadowing, ha, ha.

Hi Sandra, this is a great chapter with so much action and keeping a great pace. Tania is indeed in dire straits, and if I thought I was worried before, I'm even more so now. I love the story and it is so well written. Phew, now what? A big hug. Ulla xxxx

Thank you so much you dear lady. I wasn't sure about this part, if it was too violent, but it's going ok. I'm so pleased you thought so. Yes, she is in a bit of trouble. But Colin, well, you will learn more about him later. Thanks you so much for the six, my friend. Sending you a humongous hug! :)) Sandra xxx

Sandra,

Good idea! He's a smart man. I like that plan and it should work - as long as Colin doesn't think he's already done with our chicken and killed her. Yikes!

Just saw a tiny thing:
'Anyone else fancy a coffee?' On the chorus of yes(es)
--> plural not possessive

Thanks!

Thanks Robyn, I wasn't sure, but I thought one of you might put me right, so thank you for that. I get a bit confused at the moment. The pain killers and the shingles are doing my head in. I'm glad you like Grant's idea. He'd better hurry though!! Warm hugs, my dear friend. :)) Sandra.
I'm going to try and do some catch up over the next few days. It's the sitting down that crunches the rash that's stopping me reading. Such is life! xxx

Bless you! I've had friends with shingles - and my eldest daughter had it once while in college. (On her FINGER)

I am rather scared of it - and just got my SIL (the pharmacist) to give my and Reggie the vaccine. No thank you!! Hugs-

Meanwhile Tania is going through hell. Colin is vicious and relentless obviously insane. Does he really believe he can get away with this treachery and profit from it? He has not thought it out at all. He is on a road to destruction and it is already too late to turn back. Good Job,Sandra! Nancy:)

Thank you, Nancy. This was a tricky one to write. I wasn't sure how it would be received. It's doing well. I'm not a violient girl, so have to rely on the TV and books to let me know what it's like!! lol. Thanks for the great review, dear. :)) Sandra xxx

reply by nancy_e_davis on 17-Jan-2021

I know. It was hard for me to figure out how to do the same in my western chapters. You are doing fine. Write on dear. :)

The section about Tania's fight with Collin was gripping, Sandra. You left me wondering how in the world, if she makes it through all the ordeals facing her (and of course, she's gotta), how will she be able to go through life with less than a face covered with scars and emotional battery. Oh, Sandra will find a way. I have no doubt of that!

Tania is in a pretty roughed up state at the moment, isn't she? Thank you so much for your lovely review, Jay, I really appreciated it. Sending you a warm hug, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx

You did a great job with the fight she and the scum bag had. I see this unfolding and found myself rooting for Tanya to get free from that idiot. Now comes the moment.
Keep it rolling no doubt with a happy ending.
Get well Sandy.

Aw, thank you so much, Chuck, for such a lovely review. I'm so pleased you got into this part. Tania is in a pretty poorly way. (I always do happy endings, but don't tell anyone!! Lol) Thank you for the shiny six stars, dear friend. Warm hugs and love. Sandy. xxxx

This story kept me on the edge of my chair, and I was left with a cliffhanger anyway. It was mesmerizing from the beginning to the end. You are a wonderful storyteller!

He knocked her hand out (of) the way and with a madness that frightened her, he swung the table leg, smashing it against her arm.
