Always I read your chapters knowing I am going to love them. It seems you cannot put a foot wring when it comes to writing this type of work, it is clearly your forte. You write beautifully and seemingly effortlessly and that in itself is great achievement, making it seem effortless when we all know how difficult it actually is to write verbal dialogue convincingly.You are a wonderful writer, I never tire of your chapters, you are one of my absolute favourites. Amazing as ever, well done. Meia x

    Awww, you are so sweet, and having given me a good reason to smile on this wet and rainy day in North Texas. I'm glad the dialogue works, and you're right, it does take hours of write and rewrite, but not as much as when I write poetry. Lol!! That takes talent I have to work really hard at.

    Take care, my friend,

I like this chapter, my friend. Your writing flows well as always and I see no errors. It is interesting to see some of Ayala's long term values challenged

Once again, you have a really good story on your hands and this is a really good post.

"It's not like I chose to become pregnant, but I'm not sorry I am, either." (Omit 'I am' they're extra words and not needed.)

Another fine chapter, Rhonda--I tried the desert camouflage trick to hide from my parents, but they just laughed, and said it looked stupid!

    Awww, poor Mike. I would have, at least, played along. If my kids wanted to hide themselves for long lengths of time, I would have celebrated!! haha. You're mom is nicer.
    Thanks for the review,

No problems noted and I forgot all about the others that may be hunting them just to keep face.
Nicely written and excitement still continues

Another good addition to your story. At least Alaya is going along with them. Not that she has much choice at thos point. The character are interacting good in the story. I can see something being set up to happen soon. Later dustybones

It's the most wonderful sensation in the world, Ayala. I know I should feel shame or revulsion, those are the ideals hammered into us as children, - either add semi-colon after revulsion to connect two sentences OR -
...shame or revulsion, the ideals hammered into us as children


No Ayala knows of Koko carrying a child, she's bewildered and full of questions; she even haves a few tears.

Koko is over-anxious about being in the desert, never having been out that far.

And now there's fear that they might be killed.

A lot to think about in this chapter, Rhonda.
Margaret

    Thank you so much, Margaret, for the beautiful and supportive review!! I will fix that part. I'm not so good at the semicolon thing. I do then to show sentences together that need separating.
    Again, much thanks.

Excellent. I'm glad you have everyone working together now, give them a better chance of getting out alive. I'm sure you won't make it easy for them. I will be watching for more.

    Thank you for your wonderful review!! Yes, they are working together now, partly because Ayala has no other choice, partly because she realizes they are right.

    Thanks again,
    Rhonda

Every time I read another chapter of your book I get more excited in reading the next one you are going to post. This chapter really progresses nicely. I just love the way you write. A natural flair you have. You ARE an author I could easily stay up all night reading.
I did l find one small typo . You have " it it " instead of " if it ". I believe it is in paragraph 24 within the chapter of your story.

You selected one of my desert photos to accompany this chapter. I thank you for that. I ESPECIALLY WANT TO THANK YOU FOR SAYING WHAT YOU DID....I have been sick in bed all weekend....I get extra emotional when I'm sick like this....so as I type this Review to you, I have tears of joy trickling down my face and an extra happy feeling in my heart. That is just the most thoughtful comment....and to put it in print for all to see...my o my. I THINK MY FEVER JUST WENT UP A COUPLE NOTCHES.
Excellent writing
Looking forward to the next chapter.
