WOW! So much has happened since I've had a chance to catch up, but with the same characters from the last books, it makes it fun to continue to read because I already know all of the characters. You always have a new twist waiting in the wings. I do love your chapters to your books. I haven't been around again for a while. I'm in the hospital now with Congestive Heart Failure. When I went home from the COVID, I was still on steroids from it. I started having more trouble breathing so my doctor said I was to go to the hospital by ambulance immediately. So, I did. They admitted me for the CHF and also checked for COVID in case it was connected to it but the 2 tests they did came back Negative. So, here I sit in the hospital and I'm only allowed 1500 cc's of fluid in 24 hours and it's killing me! LOL But I'm making the best of it and the doctor says I'll be here three to four days. But, at least I have my computer to keep me company. I think about you often and hope everything is a bit calmer for you these days and I keep you and your family in my prayers.

Oh how terrible for you! As if Covid wasn't enough. But I know several people who seem to be getting a second round of illness after getting better from the Covid. I think it has deeper side affects than they first suspected. Take care of yourself.
Thoughts and prayers, Carol

Looks like this is still a great story. My computer took a poop and has been down for over a week. I must have missed a few chapters and will need to get caught up again. Can't wait to see where you are going with this.

Comment from dmt1967
'Outside the winery, Liz, Barrett, and Darryl were having a discussion when Sebastian's loud barks and Annie's yelling drew their attention as they ran down the driveway.' Don't tell the reader about the conversation, show it.
(A half-smile was all Liz could offer Darryl.) "I suppose you're right if you promise to make some calls." (Liz gave Darryl a half-smile.) This way you are showing the reader and not telling them.
The last scene was very good and kept me on tenterhook's but the first half told more than it showed.
Have a great day and nice chapter. Thank you for sharing and I hope this review helps.

Comment from Wendy G
Of course you had to stop right there!!! Making the reader wait in suspense for the next chapter. Annie needs to be listened to - what will the delay mean regarding her information .... Well written, Carol, as always!

Hi Wendy... I tried to rectify my stopping by posting two chapters, but something tells me you will be yelling at me again. LOL thanks for the review and kind support.

Comment from Mary Shifman
Dang! You do it every time. I get lost in your chapter and then ... it stops! I can imagine how little Annie felt at being ignored. I wonder how often we blow off a child and important information is lost or delayed? Great story. Look forward to the next chapter.

Hello, Mary.... You lifted my spirits and made them soar. Thank you for all your kindness and the stars. I am so so far behind on answering reviews and reading so please accept my apologies.

Comment from Theodore McDowell
Nice mini-cliffhanger at the end of the chapter. That is your signature style. Poor girl who couldn't tell her secret. You've left a lot of things up in the air and me on the edge of my seat. Well done again.

Comment from lyenochka
A great suspenseful place to stop to give us the cliffhanger effect! It's good that Michael has stayed in Napa and kept up his friendship with Annie. I wonder what it was he saw.
I hope Annie gets to tell Hank or Emmy about what she saw since no one else listened!
but he bent had ruffled the hair on top of the dog's (bent and?)

Comment from royowen
Poor little Annie wants to tell people this unexpected news, and keeps getting rebuked. Which is always so discouraging for a child, I know when our grandchildren breeze in, in the morning they are always bursting with some news or other, but now Michael's stumbled on something. Beautifully written Carol, blessings Roy
Typo : But he bent (had) ruffled...and?

Comment from BethShelby
You love those cliff-hangers. Poor Anne wasn't allowed to tell her secret and now I'm wondering how Michael is going to fit into this story. You don't have him listed among your characters. I remember he was looking for the gold while with his aunt. I'm not sure it is a good thing he is getting back into her research. I guess he is accepted by all at the ranch. I can't wait to find what he saw in the weeds.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Oh, poor Annie, no one will listen to her, and she has to tell them what Angel said. and now, Michael has seen something that is obviously not at all right. There are so many questions in this part, and I'm waiting for the answers! What a great chapter, Carol, very well done, my friend. Hugs and love, Sandra xx
