I've worked with youngsters before, and it is one of the hardest things to face in the medical field. The absolute tragedy of a life cut short is always rough, when it is someone you have come to really know and you lose that distance, it's even worse. Big because that is all we can do right now. I'm glad you talked about it, that always helped me.

“Because . . . how could you not know this was done to me?” I waved a hand at my face, though I couldn’t really see it; just the vague blur and colors. I felt the air currents puff against my burning cheeks as I gestured wildly. “You can’t tell me you didn’t see them force this on me!” Tears burned in my eyes.
“I’m hideous.”
There was a snort and a hand touched mine; I flinched back.
“Stop, I’m trying to help.” I felt Elias peeling off the hanging nails of the hand he’d grasped. I shuddered a
This sentence doesn't make sense. I think you are missing a piece.
Thanks Labrador, that must be a change that didn't get approved, I remember the line that should be in there. I'll get it fixed, many thanks!
Hi Joann! I am glad you enjoyed the story. Paper trail is not quite finished, unfortunately. So if you can't deal with a long wait, don't start it yet!! Thanks for reading Double Down though, and for reviewing.
Wow Pat! Thanks so much! I really do like to hear from my readers and see what they think about my stories; good or bad. Your review was awesome, total enjoyment. Thanks again. I'm glad you enjoyed the Carthera world. I do love to mix modern and fantasy and the Carthera let me do that. Thanks for reading, Pat!
I tried to make it palatable, so that the science was part of the story and understandable to anyone. I really like to involve science in my magic, when I can it makes it fun. Not sure if Isiah and Ahsran will get a story; I don't have plans for them at this time. They might pop up in later stories though.
I was so reluctant to end this story as well, but it was time. Isiah and Ahsran deserve some happiness as well, and this was a way to give it to them. I'm glad you enjoyed the story as much as I enjoye writing it. Thanks unlikelyu!
Endings are so hard, aren't they? I really do appreciate all your comments on my blog and GA and Lit on this story. Thanks for taking the time to read it, M!!
Thanks so much Bookjunky! I'm sad to see it end as well, but I just have to think of the time it will leave me to start new works! Benny's story might send me into a few teary episodes myself, the story playing out in my head as I write out my ideas definitely pulls on the heartstrings. Thanks so much for the review!
"So do you think we can have a meeting with Velaku that doesn't contain mayhem?" I asked Dav on the drive over to the eyrie. We'd left after I called into Dr. Bakier's office and made an early afternoon appointment.
"I hope so. We've caught or killed everyone we knew was involved in the takeover attempt; what could happen?"
I laughed. "I don't think you should say that, seems like it's just inviting trouble."
Dav squeezed my thigh. "I'm pretty sure I can handle it."
“Mmhmm,” Ellis murmured.
Ahhh... he's alive! I just spoke to this question to another person who is coming back to writing after a break. Honestly, I have to agree; you can't just go right back to where you were, especially if you've become a better writer. You weren't a slouch in the writing department before, so that's great. I would love to see an edited and re-created world for Cody! Glad to hear you're still breathing, and even better, considering writing more for us to read.
Hmm... I think my experiences, good and bad, made me who I am today. I'd like to be a less crippled version of myself, though, so maybe:
Dear 19 year old Cia,
Don't return movies at 11:30 at night; a late fee isn't that big of a deal. Don't drive by that bar, don't take that risk; avoid the drunk and just go home. Oh, and don't forget to mail out those wedding gift thank you cards!
From, gimpy 30 year old Cia
I believe it is more extortion. As an author, CJ has an obligation to provide his fans with the completed chapters without demanding they provide him with public perjury against the honesty all readers should uphold. Witholding the chapters for such a thing is simply criminal behavior. For SHAME!
