You've done a great job continuing the story, Lori. I like the direction you've taken with it. Will Ethan be seduced by this beauty to become a hitman for her? I somehow doubt it, but it will be interesting to find out.

    Thanks Jim! It was interesting how Carol wraps it all up in chapter 15.

Hi Lori,
This chapter was fantastic. I'm sorry I'm just finding out there was a Chapter 14 to this story. Carol started a new project called Emerald Isle, and I saw that you are writing the second chapter and had written a chapter for Trouble in Red.

I love all the creative detail you included, which seems to tie all the major aspects of the story together. I look forward to your talent in Emerald Isle.

Great job, Lori. I love secret doors and "Far Away Joe's" is the perfect place for them. They were probably installed during the prohibition. Lol.

Ethan's heart went from an adrenaline rush to cardiac arrest. I loved this particular line. There is fantastic imagery here, my friend, bravo.

I also love that, Mama George was in love with her rival.

God bless,
Steve

Thank you for sharing this with us. I enjoyed reading. One part confused me. I thought this entire story started off with Little Miss Shortcake meeting Ethan in a restaurant.

    That turned out to be Carla, I thought disguised as Shortcake. Honestly, I got a little confused myself but I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere.

You did a great job of picking up where Steve left off. One question is bugging me. Wasn't Mickey O'rourke a 90's movie star who later got a bad face lift? lol Maybe it's just my mind going. Waiting to see where we end up next. Thanks for sharing.

    It was Mickey Rourke and yes, he got a horrible face lift. Thanks for the upbeat review!

Bravo, Lori...Perfect way to bring it all around front and center... There's no one else in line at the moment so I'll toss in another chapter and see if we get any takers. Thank you for a wonderful chapter. You made it easy for me to follow.
Smiles and hugs, Carol

    Thanks so much and I look forward to your chapter. Do you think it is time to start veering towards a conclusion?
reply by Begin Again on 13-Mar-2025
    My chapter kind of does that, I think. It leaves it open subtly, or it could be the ending. I'd love to do this again, though.
reply by the author on 13-Mar-2025
    I would love to do this again! Thanks so much for leading and organizing this project! You also are amazing at writing the noir genre. I learned a lot! Lori

    thank you...My novel is about to wrap up so maybe I will think up another idea unless you have something in mind. I thought it was fun.

    I don't have anything in mind but would be happy to be a sounding board before you release it, if you would like. Pls DM if you're interested in that.

    Sure I am always open to new ideas and where we can have fun....Looking for a picture so I can post my chapter ....

    Just read and commented!!! Loved it so much! You're a wiz at this! I'm ready for the next one whenever you are!

    What way shall we go...I'm not good at sci-fi but I know others are. You see ghosts (like Eleanor) and mysteries are my style, but what do you think you and others would like? I;m always ready to go...
    Smiles, Carol
