What? Have I been gone for a month? I have like twenty posts to review from you, alone!

You're a writing superhero my friend.

And a romance!

With the requisite frustrating disappointments, but written with your special golden touch.

I know.

Patience is a virtue.

On to see if the third chapter is the charm!

    Romance is a difficult one for me but I am trying to give it a shot! But the Christmas stories are taking top billing I think. Thank you and know how much I appreciate you.
    Hugs, Carol

    I don't think you can say that anymore. Even in your recently awarded past novels and new publication there is romance... You write it very well!

    Hey! Katharine, Glad to see you and yes it might only be a handful of chapters from start to finish but I love the cliff hangers. Thanks for reading and enjoying.

This has happened to me during my younger days. Kendra took me back to the bus stop when I hoped the hansom stranger would be there. This story is so real. I enjoyed reading Kendra's thoughts as she longed to see the stranger on the train. I love your pacing. I'm glad he wasn't in this chapter. I'll enjoy the suspense.

    When cupid strikes the heart, we have no control over it. Kendra was struck hard this time and now is like a fish out of water flopping around. Hope she connects with him soon.

I think thst there have been encounters like that in our lives, I have heard of angelic encounters, that needed to happen to someone, and the kind person vanished leaving a sense of wonder, like Kendra has, but I'm sure it will come to pass in your fine story, well done, blessings Roy

    I do believe under the right circumstances angels can visit and make things right and then disappear, but in Kendra's case she got shot by cupid's arrow and it had quite an affect.

Sounds like this one could turn into a novel. All you need is a good fistfight or two, a murder mystery, suspicion of the protagonist, and a little tiny bit of coochy-coo. (smiley face here)

    I'm not too good at writing the coochy-coo, but the murder mystery, fistfights, and suspicion I can swing with the best of them. LOL It's going to be a handful of chapters to get to the end of the month and then I'll be back to Eleanor and the gang. Thanks so much for reading.

Why do I have a feeling Kendra will meet this man again? I'm sure of it. I wonder when and how. Thank you for sharing this chapter with us.

Kendra Abagail Winston! I've known you long enough to know you are hiding something. Mark my words, there's a man involved or one you hope will be involved." (missing beginning quotation marks, "Kendra)

Kendra's voice softened. "We've worked together for five years, (softened,)

    Have to get it all out of my system before I take off to spend Christmas with my great granddaughters.... and writing keeps my mind from exploding with others here at home. Take care and enjoy the rest of the week.

Hi Carol. What a nice chapter. I was hoping she would run into the guy again. Maybe, next chapter. The story was so well written and descriptive. I loved it.

    Thanks Brenda...This won't be an extra long book but it's a little lighter so we can take a short break before Eleanor and the gang are crime fighting again. Thanks so much for the review and the awesome stars.

Carol,

A great story. It catches the readers attention with the first line. You are a very talented author. I was wondering where chapter one was and thought I had missed it, which I did. I didnt become active on this site until October.

No need to apologize for jet lag. I hope you enjoyed your time with your granddaughter and your greatgrans. Hope you have a beautiful day my friend.

Well done

Cecilia

    Just needed to fill in with a short novelette until I can settle down and get Eleanor solving crimes again. Glad you enjoyed it. Also, posted a short today. Now it's time for me to get busy cleaning...I'd much rather write.

    You're welcome my friend. Yes, I am cleaning today and bouncing in here for a break. If I was rich I would hire a maid.

    How was your son't premiere last night.
    Talent runs in the family doesn't it.

    The movie premiere was great, but as always a few people had to make things difficult but that's life anymore. He was upset but handled it well until he was alone on his way home...then his mind got the best of him because he'd worked so hard on it. But he'll be fine. I think he did an awesome job. Thanks for asking.

    You're welcome my sweet friend. There's always going to be an asshole out there trying to take someone's joy. That's just the way the world is. If he is happy about it then he can just tell that person to F-off. We can't please everyone.

    Unfortunately, one of them was his own sister.... and she got her tickets free because I bought them. That girl is something else.

    Carol,

    I'm sorry. Maybe she's jealous of your sons success. You know that sibling rivalry.
