This is well written and to me a little short, but then I really like your writing. It sounds as if Emma has come up with a workable suggestion. That Peggy is a great jerk to play off against Emma.

Thank you for the support.
Comment from Douglas Goff
Sorry, I have fallen behind on your book. Summer has started out super hectic. My middle daughter broke her ankle this week, a day before camp. They let her go since I was going to be working here. It's her third broken bone as she does cheerleading, tennis, band, as now gymnastics. Arrrgh!
Okay, focus. Great chapter with good interactions and dialogue.
This line was awesome:
Grinning, Carl said, "You're an amateur when it comes to waiting on females."
Suggestion:
Chuckling, the mayor said, "That's right you're new to town." He grinned.
(Maybe a comma after the word 'right' )
I have a feeling that the line about arresting Peggy Barton is foreshadowing future events.
I liked this chapter a lot. Mayor is a good egg.

I added that comma. I appreciate the catch. You're right Peggy will get arrested, but for what?
Give you daughter a hug for me. I have been there, done that. One or the other of my four boys always had something broken. Since we were military and lived on Posts, it was a small community, and I was on a first name basis with the ER doctors. Luckily, they understood boys and knew I was beating them. LOL
-
Hah! I hope you meant wasn?t beating them! Too funny. I?m enjoying your book, my friend!

LOL wasn't beating them, but they were active ornery boys. LOL

Yes, I'm sure Seth has plans to do something about Peggy. And I'd bet he doesn't need anyone's suggestions to push him into action. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from MissMerri
This portion of chapter 13 is so well written, full of excellent dialogue that carries the story forward and also brings out the uniqueness of the characters who are interacting in these scenes. I look forward with great anticipation to the next installment. The only question I had is concerning the closing of the street for half an hour. That seemed pretty unlikely to me. But maybe another solution will present itself before this is over. I am loving the story.

This is a really small town. It would happen. Thank you for the kind review.
Comment from lyenochka
That's great that Emma came up with the solution. I guess the bakery parking lot would not have enough space. Closing off the block probably works in a small town. Seems like the mayor understand all that's going on in the town including personalities like Peggy. If he and Carl know how hard it is to say No to Emma, the mayor should understand how hard it is to say No to someone like Peggy who hasn't let go of her infatuation for all the time that Seth has been in town. Great chapter!

Hi Barbara,
I like your style of mixing dialogue with action. You are very smooth with it, like: The mayor grinned. "That would work." He faced Seth. "I want police presence and interaction. The children need to see them as friends."
This information without being obvious that's what you're doing. Nice example for the rest of us in the writing world.
Take care,
Rhonda

i liked the mayor. He seemed fair minded and open and very interested in Emma's ideas. I liked the way he dismissed pPeggy . Peggy seems to be a real nuisance ...Mysteries are there to be solved..

Another great chapter. I am glad that the Mayor agreed to let Emma continue her time with the children. I hope Seth is able to convince Peggy that he is not interested in her.

This is another excellent chapter. I am glad the library staff did not win. You moved the story along nicely in this chapter. I do not see any room for improvement. Have a blessed day.

Barbara,
You've done it again and penned another brilliant chapter in the book Guided by Faith. This book is destined to be a best seller on the New York Times best seller list. I don't know how many chapters are in the works but I can't wait to read the final novel.
All the best,
Eugene
