Hi, Bev.
This chapter is worth ten stars! Your knowledge of First Nation culture is amazing. I love the way you've used the language and the proper address to Jana's Elder as she walked in the house. The spirit passing through the house is so well written. I felt that I was a part of every step of the chapter, from the ride home to the time in the house. This is an excellent book! I see that it is up for book of the month. I wish you the very best. You sure deserve the win!
Bye.
Your friend, Rosalyne :)

I am fascinated by the fact that I just finished a review of your latest chapter, Rosalyne, for which I wished I had a ten! That is so cool when hearts and minds are in tune like that. Thank you, dear friend, for your stunning review. Means so much to me! Love ya, Bev

Hi Bev! I had this bookcased meaning to read it a month ago! I do hope to hold this in my hands. I was totally creeped out as the wind swooshed thru the house and the door ajar. I swear this has happened to me as well....and not all that long ago. I love this Bev, and let me know about whether it'll be a real book? Best too, in the polls. xoxo!! Susan

Comment from Rob Caudle
Hey, Bev, so sorry I have not been around for awhile. I have been busy with work, so fan story has been off limits. But I had a minute to spare and wanted to catch up. I see my absence has not dulled your talent. The story is twisted up quite nicely the bad guy is still very well done and Jana's uncle brings a nice supernatural spin to the tale. Again I found your writing to be professional on every level a very nice bit of work here.

This is getting so twisted, Bev. I'm sorry I didn't review when you first posted, but I've been spreading my attention around this summer to lots of fun pursuits! And then I come back to read this and this guy's just getting whacked freaky!
Did I ever tell you I know a real serial killer? Not something to brag about, I should say I met him multiple times and was acquainted with him. He was always polite to me, thankfully.
Back to your story, sorry, my mind drifted off to that man for a moment. Your guy is way creepy. He definitely thinks he's performing noble acts.
I think killer's like him, in their minds, are doing very right things.
Ooh, the scene with Jana's uncle was good. I liked the supernatural thing happening with him. I'm not Indian, but I think my .... whatever you call it, is a little more sensitive to the supernatural than some. Fortunately, the good, not the awful scary kind!
I'm really wandering around with this review. It's my long winded way of saying I enjoyed this chapter very much!

Comment from xxjsfuncxxxity
Well, this was very well written, my friend, and fully compelling all the way through.
Fantastic flights of description and wonderful, believable dialogue throughout, and a strong, suspenseful work of pacing made this chapter a good, fun read, even out of context. Stands plenty well on its own. Well done. Good luck with the rest of this story. Thanks too for putting it up at the top of the listings where it was easy to stumble across, a pleasant surprise to top off a night of mostly lackluster reviewing.
cheers

Thank you, Jonathan. I really appreciate your excellent and very helpful insights. It's always so great to get the perspective of another novelist -- the writing of a novel takes a bit of a different persepctive, I find. Thanks so much, js.

Comment from DALLAS01
Glad I had a six. Your focus to even the smallest of details
Generates a realism and enables the reader to see instead of imagine your scenes. Favorite lines are:
the percussive love calls of crickets, reminiscent of a native drum beat, the pepper-sharp smell of fall leaves, and the distinct spice of apples split apart by foragers.
Love (pepper sharp) utilizing the sense of taste to provoke imagery.
He kissed his fingertips and pursed his lips,(great visual image with no wasted words.)

Hi, Dallas. I sure appreciate your very generous and supportive review. Thank you for noticing the way I'm trying to improve my descriptive abilities -- that's means a lot to me! The diary entry is by the killer.
So appreciate you taking time to read.
Warmest regards, Bev
