Now here is a real action story with the fight;
and soon as I read what Doctrex did when he was aiding the man who was stabbed . I said to myself now Doctrex is a Doctor.
What told me) I years back was an EMT working for a rescue squad in our town)
The when I read you last few line it
Looed like there is a friendship starting?

    THANK YOU for the HONOR! I'm just so pleased you are enjoying the story. There is a lot of speculation, Gert, that he was a doctor in his previous life. Only I know for sure. You'll find out if you keep reading. BTW, I'm going to start posting more split chapters and about every other day. Consequently, they won't ride that high on the lists. But that shouldn't matter too much anyway since most of my readers are alerted to the postings on their message board. Besides, there are only a handful of "meaty" reviews (yours being one), so I'm not shooting for quantity. They'll all have a 4 day certificate and a 50% chance at a pump. Just letting you know so you'll understand the differences. Thanks again for the 6 stars.

    You are welcome Jay
    I'm just wondering how can you do
    a 4 day certificate .
    I thought the most you can do is 3 days?
    See you later.

    No, the 4 day certs are $9.95. I think it's the treasure chest.
reply by Gert sherwood on 28-May-2014
    Okay Jay For some reason I thought it was only three days.

It makes you think and that is important.
You are a solid writer and don't forget that.
Nice technique and craft.

Alright this was back to the good old Jay Squires. Your action and pacing were excellent. I liked how you made the stabbing the climax and then the sobering of the event made them all start to talk. This was very realistic. The description of the tavern girl and the wringing of the apron was a good visual. It brought in a homey touch to a macho scene. really nice chapter.

    Ah, Gretchen! You made my day! Thank you so much. BTW, I'm going to start posting more split chapters and about every other day. Consequently, they won't ride that high on the lists.

Just letting you know so you'll understand the differences. Another thing, you mentioned the book about Dean. Is it on Amazon? And, is it by any chance a Kindle ebook? That's pretty much all I read. If it is, I'll get it. Once again, thanks for your support of The Trining.

    Dean's story is in my portfolio. The Shine Baby.. I am getting ready to publish it, just waiting for the artist to finish the cover. You are welcome for the meaty review. If ii invest myself in a book I give as much feedback as I can. I know how much it means to a serious writer.
reply by the author on 27-May-2014
    Super! I'll check out your portfolio. Problem is I'll have to sneak it between reviews. I wonder, is there a way to put the entire book on my bookshelf? I'll check that out.

Perhaps Doctrex was a doctor in his previous life and that's why he was able to step in so confidently ...

I enjoyed the chapter, Jay. No significant SPAGS.

Love,

    OMG. And I used table cloth all over the place. Thanks, Sonali. I corrected the "the" and brought all the cloths to their respective tables. Thank you so much for your visit.

So Doctrex might have a medical background and he has a soft spot for Zurn. Will be interesting to see if a relationship develops. Noticed a couple things you may want to edit

Lost sight of (t)he other three of the troublemakers

table cloth - tablecloth

I'll go. I'll get a blanket. - suggest: I'll go get a blanket.

I'll get a blanket, or, or a coat. Suggest: blanket or...or a coat

Best wishes!
Rita

    Thank you Eagle-eye Rita! I've gone in and made the changes. The only one I left was "I'll go. I'll get a blanket." I'm doing what I can to try to show his "slowness" through his speech.
