The story is progressing nicely despite the continued pressure of cassie's kidnap.
It seems like Joe and sara's relationship may also be getting basck on track.
I am pleased to hear that your chemo theraphy went well - another big step...

This was a great read from beginning to end, as usual. Your characters are real people who get irritable and say things they wish they had not. Your writing draws me right into their space.

Lots of action here; very well paced, and this reader is grateful for the dribs and drabs of information you give us as the plot unfolds. I hope you are considering bringing Cassie home alive, well and untouched.

And How are you? Was it as bad as you anticipated? I'm hoping that each subsequent treatment will affect you less. Do stop and rest. Breath deep and remember you are on your way to wellness. There will be time enough for all you need to do. Plenty of it. Thanks for your virtual hug. Her's one right back at you!

    Thank you for your kind review. The chemo treatment wasn't too bad. The worse side effect is being tired.

Hi barbara,

The pace is picking up nicely now and the introduction of a white slave trafficking ring for porn is very topical.

Well written and good tension throughout.

Another great chapter with a good blend of narrative and descriptive writing. The pace is just right for the story line and the characters are developing nicely. Glad to see you back at your craft.

I'm glad she's beginning to think straight about Joe. He sounds liek a terrific guy and not the animal she is worried about. I enjoyed reading this excellent chapter.

Another interesting chapter. Great to see that you are back so soon from chemo and already wrote another chapter. Hope you are feeling better and stronger each day.

A minor word missing

room, she Joe was on the couch = room, she saw Joe was on the couch

Hi Barbara :)

Nice job with this chapter.

I've been informed that I'm too liberal with "fivers." and if the post needs any work I shouldn't award them.

I found one "nit" but I'm not taking off for it.

[she Joe was on the couch] -- You left something out.

    Yes, I need to make that correction. It has been mentioned to me and I forgot. I will take care of it. I think I mentioned to you before 1-4 mistaked a 5, 5-8 mistakes a 4. I don't know to do it so people don't accuse me of favoritism. Or get angry over nic picking.

    Hi Barbara :)

    An honest critique is just that. If a member gets upset with "nits" they shouldn't be posting material for review.

    I guess that's true. I have had people tell me that I am being nit picky.
reply by Ted T on 02-Nov-2010
    I don't think you're a nit-picker. Norma is and I love her for it, We sometimes disagree, but she's usually right on.

    Thank you. I try not to nit pick.
reply by Ted T on 02-Nov-2010
    If you see a "nit" mention it. You don't have to downgrade for a few.

    Writers hate "nits" because they want to believe the piece is perfect.

reply by the author on 02-Nov-2010
    I wait for 4 different nits before I downgrade it. If it's the same nit over and over again, I don't.

    Hi :)

    That's a good policy :)
