I'm enjoying each chapter very much, and I haven't found any mistakes today. They are not too long for me they seem to be over in no time. I liked your attention to detail in relation to legal matters, Giddy

If Homeland Security actually did what they were created to do...well, do 't get me started. It seems like Gestapo tactics in occupied France during the war, show me your papers...
A couple pf corrections:

Thank you for dropping by and leaving this kind review. My Spanish is correct. I am positive, on the 'oh' you could use 'ai' but most American Mexican's would say 'Oh'

This is an interesting chapter about Robert from Homeland Security coming to question Soni about her workers. I liked it when her dogs stood up every time she did. Obviously, they had her back. 8-)

Thank you for dropping by and leaving this kind review. Those two dogs will have an important part in the story, that's why I make sure I have them by her at all times.
Comment from Tonulak
Hi Barbra,
I thought you set up some interesting drama through the conversations, especially the ritual use of peyote by Native Americans. I thought this chapter did well to set up future conflicts. I still caution that you need to "hear" your dialogue, rather than read it. In many cases it still sounded like writing not speaking. Perhaps you could get friends to act some of it out to test that observation. Keep going with this interesting story--Ted

Thank you for dropping by and leaving this kind review. I'm having issues with some nit picker and my posts. They are correcting everything even dialogue. I am trying to get them off my back.
Comment from judiverse
I'm happy to bestow a six on this. I looked forward to reading it. I like the contemporary issues of illegal immigrants, the reservation, drug cartels. Hughes seems more than eager to find something amiss on the ranch. As Alex points out, Hughes did quite a job of searching the premises. Will be curious to see how Jim will fit into this. Either Hughes is over-eager, or he is corrupt, looking for something he can pass along to someone. In addition, the timing of his visit is early, and he asks pointed and personal questions about Miguel. judi

An interesting chapter, Barbara, with good dialogue.
"The ranch also goes to mile marker 399 outside of Del Rio(,) and there's a good-sized Lipan Apache reservation on both sides of the Nueces River."
We have not changed the treaty(,) and the Lipan Apaches are welcome on the Rockin' A."
"She was(,) and my grandfather, Kuruk, continues to live on the reservation.
Robert waited until his cup was refreshed,(no comma) and then took a sip.
"That is true(,) but Homeland Security can't be too careful, can it?"
"I'm fine(,)really."
"Have you read the amendment at the bottom of the document(,) giving the Native American's permission to continue to reside on your land?"
Secondly, it causes hallucinations(,) and they would be unable to perceive and judge reality accurately."
Robert ate the last bit of coffee cake,(no comma) and then stood.
Soni hesitated,(no comma) and then said,

GRRR, I hate commas, it seems I added them when I shouldn't have and didn't when I should have. Thank you for the help. I appreciate it.

As a rule, you should add a comma when you have a compound sentence (two complete sentences that could stand alone but are connected by 'and'. If you don't have two complete sentences, then there should be no comma. Hope this helps.

Comment from Curly Girly
Barbara, this is a well written post. However, I believe that you traditionally write in USA English, not UK English; if that is so, then IRS should be: I.R.S.
Also in your footnotes:
Instead of two parts to a chapter their will probably be four.
Instead of two parts to a chapter THERE will probably be four.
All good, and enjoy your extra time at home.

Thanks for the pleasure of reading another entertaining chapter. The foundation for many conflicts seem to be falling into place. Great job. :-)
