What a great idea. I'm trying to catch up on the past chapters with the hope that I can add a chapter - if it doesn't end before I get there. :-) Nice writing. Lots of questions for Ethan to follow up (and the writers as well). Gigi, bleached blond, good 40s-style noir, although the "princess-style house phone" dates the scene 20 years later. Thanks for sharing it. Be well. Frank

    Yesss!! You are right about that phone. Thank you, Frank! I will change that at once!!

    I DEFINITELY HOPE YOU ADD A CHAPTER!!! Send Begin Again a request for a chapter number. As long as people are still requesting chapters, she won't be inclined to end the story! So PLEASE jump on board!! It's really fun.

    Thanks for this terrific review. xoxo

Is the gorgeous redhead your alter ego? LoL she sounds very attractive and seems to have Ethan around her finger.

Excellent addition to the multi-author book.... sounds like fun.

You definitely gave it that "Rachelle style"

Well done, ms red

    Yes, every gorgeous redhead is my alter ego...okay, and my prime ego, too.

    Thanks for the very nice review! I know prose isn't your favorite form of self-expression, but I think your brand of writing would definitely add something fabulous to this book. Please give it some thought!

    I like to write stories, especially the horror genre, but I am a better poet than writer. I have written several stories with the help from my friends.

    But, Gypsy! I used to write nothing but prose but then decided to stretch myself and delved into Japanese poetry! I honestly believe that if a person can write, he or she can write regardless of genre. The TALENT is intrinsic. The style just has to be coaxed out. Don't box yourself in so, you talented wench!!! xoxoxox

    That has a familiar ring to it, right?

    You should definitely join in the fun, Yvonne! You'd be so great at furthering the tale in the perfect way.

    Just be sure to contact Begin Again first before you write anything because I believe the chapter count is now up to 10, so if you write anything prematurely, by the time your # comes around, it might not work with the plot line anymore.

    It's turning into a very good story, I think, though!!

    Thanks for reviewing me! I always appreciate your feedback. xoxo

This is a brilliant addition to this already addictive storyline, Rachelle. I may have to jump in at some point. This looks like a ton of fun.

Like a hamster with a Brazil nut, I loved this!

Should he call Mama George and incite a bidding war? "Hell, yes! Wait, maybe, no."

red-lipped kiss over her shoulder. Great addition.

Your talent is above and beyond, Young Lady!
God bless,
Steve

    Yesss!! JOIN US!! Jump in with both feet; the water is warm and wonderful! No wolves allowed, though...

    Thanks for the delightful review. xoxo
reply by Neonewman on 25-Feb-2025
    The wolves currently reside deep in East Texas and seem to be territorial. However, this damn rogue wolf may be an exception, lol.
    I've read all the chapters and will wait to see what the next ones produce before diving in.

This is very well written and I enjoyed listening to it. It flowed very well when it was read out loud. I wish you the very best with your writing so wish the group very good day and they may come up with more chapters that continue to add to the story. Patricia.

    Now, Patricia, YOU are a writer!! Why don't you spread that pizzazz here and treat us to a chapter penned by YOU!!! I'd read it with the utmost delight!!

    All you'd need to do is PM Begin Again to get a chapter number, then read the chapter immediately before yours and build upon that plot line! I really hope you join in the fun!!!

    Thanks for the very nice review! xoxox

You are so damn talented. I love where you took this, and I love love love your signature writing style- always crafted with a killer opening. There is something so brilliant about this: "like a hamster with a Brazil nut, returned to his table to mull this new crinkle over in his mind."
Exceptional, as usual!
XOXO

    I appreciate that because that was the one simile that I mulled over a LONG time: Should I/shouldn't I include it? It is just too weird? But now I'm glad I didn't delete it. Thank you for always knowing JUST what to say. xoxox

    PS - I love to read a chapter YOU pen, as well. You know how much I love every last thing you write, Miss Talent!! xoxox

The continuation of the story with the voluptuous red head and Msma George continues.

This was well written and continues with secrecy and intrigue.

Nicely done.

    Thank you for this, John! I appreciate the feedback and encouragement.

    I'd sure love it if you would add YOUR brand of pizzazz and fun to the story, too, though. All you'd need to do is write to Begin Again and request a chapter number, and VIOLA!! You'd bring a smile to us all with your creations!!

I wonder if Ethan is going to accept Red's offer or not. I do hope you continue to add to this story so I can find out. I am enjoying reading this. You've done a great job writing this chapter.

    Thanks Barbara! I appreciate this warm and thoughtful review very much.

    I think YOU should add a chapter! You're great with chapter books! A seasoned veteran of the art form! I'd be so happy to read one by you and your pizzazzy way of creating the perfect intrigue and interest. I know you're involved in your own at the moment, but if you want a quick diversion, this could be the perfect, fun means! Nothing elaborate is necessary - just something short but good.

    Hope you take me up on this! I enjoyed the no-serious-commitment of it and have a hunch you would, as well.

    I would like to but I'm on deadline to get my last novel, the one with Sami and Noah in it to my publisher. I'm still doing my edit before he does his.

Loved your sultry addition to this story, Rachelle. You've certainly mastered the "noir patois" and the noir style of writing very well in this entertaining chapter.

I'm so glad you turned me onto this story, which promises to be a lot of fun to read and contribute to.

This is another engaging chapter, Rachelle and I loved how you made the character's come to life in just a few short paragraphs. I really enjoyed reading it.
