Hi Linda, I'm glad you missed this at the time, because I forgot to change that about the tea-time. (I have changed it now) Someone pointed out that I wouldn't be able to explain it in my book, and it would be a good idea to change it in the story. That made sense so, thank goodness you found this and reminded me. Sometimes things happen for a reason!! lol. Thank you, my sweet friend for your lovely fun review ... Busy?? Nah, I just sit on my botty all day!!!! LOL!

Spiritual Moments was my first attempt at writing and publishing a book, I'm sorry I didn't know that was the one you ordered, it looks so amateurish now that I've seen other peoples. I want to get another one up together with more poems in it. Thank you, dear friend, you are my angel. :) xxx

I love that book Sandra...I love the poems...I wouldn't have it any other way...I can always order more...the kids are growing up...so they aren't here as much...so I wanted a book for myself...and I have got to get off my botty...I am losing my butt muscle tone...LOL...I felt so bad I missed the chapter...I got behind like 80 messages...LOL...but I am catching up now...and you are always so welcome lovely lady...love you soooo much...Linda xxoo

I hope Ian is doing well...say Hi for me...xxoo

I read your review, Linda, I was overwhelmed. Thank you dear, sweet Linda. I am putting together another book of poems, and hope I can get the hang of how to do it. Your review gave me a bit more confidence. What would I do without my sweet Angel?

Now, I'm going to be really, really, really, really, REALLY cheeky now, if you have a little bit of time, will you write one for my This Time - That Time book? :)) :)) :)) LOVE YOU Soooo much too. (even if you haven't time!! LOL) Big hugs, dear friend. xxx

He he, saw that suggestion coming a bit ago... lol

Mildred's arms flew up in the air, her finger's splayed - just plural here, fingers.

They're all out singing today." Mildred smiled, - need opening speech marks here.

Thank you, Gareth, for going back and reading this part. I've made the corrections. You are so good catching them for me, I really do go over it loads of times but I think my brain just says, 'NOT AGAIN!!' and shuts down! Thanks for another helpful review, my friend. You and many others saw it coming! lol! :) Sandra xx

Wow, you packed this chapter with lots of plot updating and possible plans for them to try and carry out! Great reading. I'm trying to imagine how they're going to talk Rosie into taking Francis on, but who knows, maybe she's an old softie underneath it all, for an underdog, especially if money and a new place to live are dangled in front of her....

Good stuff here, Sandra. :-)

Lol, thanks for the note on eating tea! I was so confused by it. Nice work on this part, Sandra. I look forward to Veronica going back in time again.

Take care,

Thank you Russell. I'm going to change that line, as someone pointed out to me, I can't leave a note explaining it in the book! lol. Thanks for reading, my friend. She'll be going back soon, I hope! :)) Sandra xxx

Hello Sandra,
Another excellent chapter. I thought Mildred might have this plan in mind.
It has many possibilities and Sir John also has concerns that it addresses.
Likely, Gwendolyn, whom he believes is a ghost, would follow Frances
or be satisfied her son is safe and leave Sir John alone.
It also removes Joe from the area, whom Sir John fears may talk about Frances.
I wonder if there is any evidence of Frances and the others having lived in Bristol,
or is this altering history?
If this all works out, Mildred will be all smiles!
While your explanation of "eating tea" is good, unless it is explained in the book,
it might be better to simply say "drinking" tea in US editions. Just a thought.
The plot thickens, or is it the chocolate?
Well done, my friend
Robert

Hi Robert. Yes, I think you might be right, I'll change that sentence altogether so it still means tea-time, but doesn't say the name. Young children of Ann's and Michael's age seldom drink tea, they would have warmed milk, cocoa, or cold drinks.

I agree, there are several things and ways I can go with this plan. Again, you have come up with something that I hadn't thought about, but will address that now. :)) (bet you're curious now!) Thank you so very much for this super review, my friend, and all the shiny stars! I'm smiling big time!! :)) Sandra xx

-Another excellent chapter, Sandra.
-I appreciate the note about tea,
as I didn't know that it was a meal.
-Mildred has a very well thought out
plan, and I am glad you gave
her a big part in the story.
-She even shows some frustration
at all the various questions:
""I dunno! I haven't got all the answers!"
-You broke up all of the frustration
when Ver. and Mildred take a
peaceful walk in the woods.
-Mildred comes through at the end
when she remembers Joe going
to get the chocolate.
-Now, we will see how all
of this planning will work out.

**These are for Mildred:

Mildred will love all those stars, especially as she has one more than I have! LOL!! Thank you so much, Pam. Where would I be without Mildred? When I first began writing the story, (the first book) I didn't realise how big a character she would become. They have a hard task ahead so we'll see how it all turns out. I'm working on it now, and hope to have it out on Sunday. Thank you, my dear friend, you have no idea how much I appreciate you and your fun reviews, (that are also very helpful.) Big hugs! Sandra xxx

I am glad Mildred liked all the stars; she deserved them.🙂 I don't know, Sandra, she helps you a lot!! Sounds like you have a lot of planning to do. I am glad you like my fun, but informative reviews. You are very welcome and deserving of them, my friend.

This is a superb and sensitive chapter of your book. Your literary talent shines through your command of language, crisp dialogue, story page and suspense. blessings

Thank you for sharing! I really enjoyed this chapter, particularly the dialogue. Each character has a distinctive voice, which helps them jump right off the page. Fun read!

Another fantastic chapter, Sandra. I just love the interaction between James, Veronica and Mildred - especially when she's in full flight with her superb logic. Hopefully, Veronica will return to Joe's time and be able to put this new plan into action - fingers crossed!

Hugs from a 'moderate' Glasgow,

Thank you so much, my dear friend, for your lovely 6 stars! Veronica is in a tizz at the moment, she has some worries. :)) Big hugs from an almost Spring-like southern England. Talk to you tomorrow! xxx Sandra xx

Although you have a unique concept here with the time traveller, it is the wonderful characters and their interaction that keep a story going.
Think about it. We tend to remember more about the characters on a story than the story itself.
Great job!
Also interesting tidbit about tea time. I would have never thought of that.

Thank you, Michael! Yes, I think you're right about that. I'm really pleased you like my characters, that is such a compliment coming from you, as I love yours. I picture myself as Shadow!! lol. Granite, hmm, I guess I wouldn't mind him standing at my side! Thank you so much for the 6 stars, my friend, your are so kind.

Tea-time, I kept being picked up on that, when I put the 'children ate their tea,' I was told it was an error, it should be drank their tea. I'm not sure if we are the only people who have tea-time. I think they have it in India, and perhaps Australia and NZ. Anyway, I think I've educated the reviewers on here now! lol. Thank you again, my friend, for your lovely review. Big hugs. Sandra. xxxx

How is the editing coming along? xx

reply by mbroyles2 on 15-Mar-2018

I'm actually taking some time away from writing the Last Nerve and working solely on rewriting and Editing the Last Laugh. I've had a few agents show interest but there is some things they want be to polish up on. I'm going to send out an update this weekend.

reply by the author on 15-Mar-2018

I will miss this story, it was just getting really exciting. But, saying that, I quite understand you doing what you have to with your manuscript. I'm excited for you, so you've got some agents interested! That's brilliant. That's the first step, next is the book, and then Hollywood!! xxx

reply by mbroyles2 on 15-Mar-2018

It should only be a few weeks then I'll tease everyone with a few more chapters.
Can't keep Johhny Lee waiting in that cellar forever, and Granite is itching to go hunting for the killer or killers.

And you can't keep a certain, Sandra, waiting too long either! lol. xx
