I was right to go back and start at chapter one, everything is now in place and I can enjoy the rest of this story as it develops.
The was a book should be read :)

Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
A story as old as time. The names change, but the abuse does not. My first husband was abusive and they need no trigger from us, just us breathing is enough. You told the story well. Karen

It hurts my heart that someone as sweet and funny as yourself, had to experience such things. I am happy you got out of it. Thank you for your incredible support with your reviews.
God bless,

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I started to read your latest chapter, and liked it, so thought I'd start from the beginning. It already tells me that Dodie is different from other abused women, so I'm very intrigued to read on. Well done! :) Sandra xx

I'm surprised I haven't run across your work before now. I loved Dean Kuch. He was an awesome mentor. I just finished your Rachelle Allen interview and then decided to stalk your profile. And, I'm glad I did. Gretchen

I'm excited to see what the future brings with Dodie Rae at the helm. Rachelle is amazing and I look forward to reading the novel you two are crafting.
God bless,

Comment from Erika Whittle
This story is very engaging. Though I totally understand shooting the guy I'm glad she didn't ruin her life for trash...at least not in the first chapter.

Thank you, Erika for taking the time to review. I am having a blast with book and pretty much have the whole story in my head. Finding the time to get it in writing is the issue for me. I work 12 hr shifts and I'm not nearly as young as I used to be lol.
God bless,
Steve

Holy, I couldn't do 12h shifts. I'd be the most miserable person on the planet.

Heh! Heh! It definitely takes a toll.
Comment from tfawcus
This has all the makings of a good story, Steve. I'm glad you have decided to continue it. There's not much I can add in the way of constructive criticism after Rachelle' fine review.
Not sure if 'spec' is a US spelling. It would be 'speck' on our side of the ocean.
I'll look forward to reading the next chapter.

Thank you, Tony, for this excellent and encouraging review. It is Speck here as well, lol. I am the bar manager at a steakhouse and order liquor from Spec's. That must be where I got this from.
I plan on putting the second chapter up tomorrow.
God bless,
Steve
Comment from Wendy G
I definitely think you should continue with this, if you have enough ideas in your head for a full book. It's a relevant story, with domestic violence on the increase everywhere, and it would be good to see a strong woman emerge from this story. She's already put up with a lot, now we wnat to see her overcome all odds and get through this. And we'd like to see him get what he deserves as well.

Edit: "Can I come visit you tonight, mama?" (Mama) Needs a capital when used as a name.
"You're always welcome, cher." (Cher) Used as a name, needs a capital.
I would consider using Chère, which is the feminine form, or Chérie (darling)

Comment from Ric Myworld
Most all of my best writing comes from dreams or deep inner thoughts, and it seems the dreams do great for you too. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to the book moving forward. Thanks for sharing.

"A young woman unwilling to submit to abuse." Good for her. She shouldn't.
Glad Dodie didn't shoot Richard, the hypocritical bastard. He's not worth the trouble that would bring her. Hope she never goes back to him. She deserves much better.

Comment from Wayne Fowler
I bet that it ends with a bang. (smiley face here)
Well written scene. Good work. You convinced me.
But she shouldn't have held on for six years.

Thank you, Wayne. I feel the need to move forward as I now have the whole story in mind. It will on the macabre side, lol.
God bless,
