I like Miss Maddie a lot. I want to see more of her and her exploits. I would especially like to see what happens if she ever meets up with her brother Boone Tyler. That should ne one heck of a reunion. This is a well written and well told take. I definitely like it want to see more, much more.

Hello Earl

I daresay this is long but it's so interesting and vividly written that I just kept going.

There may be a few editing errors but those small things are not important to my rating. I wish I had a six left for you.

You've captured the bold hard hitting style of pioneer days. The gold rush section drew my attention. In my country of birth there are still miners who pan the rivers for gold and diamonds. It's a rough life they have to find off bandits and deal with the dangers of jungle living. But the lure of gold is strong. My late grandfather was such a man. Unfortunately I never met him. I believe he died in the jungle when I was little.

Stay safe and blessed, my friend

Julia

This is a very good beginning to a longer story. I like your character, Maddie, although I found the famous names a little confusing at first. I do hope you continue it. Good luck in the contest.

Well, I do hope you will continue this story. I want to know if she meets up with her brothers. What a mix they turned out to be. There was a lot happening it this story, starting with Maddie grandparents through to her. It wasn't nice that her father didn't come back for her, I wonder if he's still alive. You have to continue this book, it's such a good story, and we don't have any other western writers on here, at least, not that I know of, since Charles Lucus died. Well done, Earl, and good luck in the contest. :) Sandra xx

Very good story that sounds like the beginning of a book. I'd like to see if Maddie can out outlaw her brother or turn him into an honest man. She is certainly an interesting character.

Interesting story kept my attention. Imagery was great, it was easy to visualize the scene being discussed. Characters were believable and the story intriguing. Great job with lots of potential.

Hi Earl, this was long, indeed, but it appears you have good story going. Now of course, knowing, Maddie's background makes the story all the more interesting. It's a very good start for a new book.
I would look into the formatting. Double space between who is talking. It's an FS thing I know.
a bush to change behind, the dismissed = then dismissed
Good luck in the contest. Ulla:)))

    Thanks Sally. I made sure it was long enough they didn't disqualify me. She's actually the sister of Boone Tyler in Tin Stars and Yankee Gold. I appreciate the virtual six.
