The color e-reader wasn't that much more in absolute dollar terms - 149 vs 249 - which is about 67% more I know. But we bought both our moms color e-readers. The color ones allow you to get your magazines on line which are usually best in color not black and white. That said, I know nothing about the merits or demerits of e-ink vs other stuff but I can say the computer screen has been giving me eye strain quite a bit lately so maybe that is what I need LOL.

Don't mind me, I just got a bit paranoid it was about to end for good Andy

Wrap it up? as in wrap up book one or wrap it up entirely and move on to something else??

Yeah, I know it was obvious in a few places, BUT what is obvious to the reader, wouldn't be always be to the main character - right? please? I guess Barbara in my mind is not they type her son would give an ultimatum too - she is not to be trifled with if you want to stay on her good side. We will see, maybe she will be forced to kiss your backside in the end. Next chapter in a few days. But not sure that is going to answer all the questions sorry but there are a few more chapters to go. Andy

Kevin. I can't add much to what the others already said, so let me say - nice job, it was a good read. Andy

Monty, I suppose it was a bit obvious when you heard the sirens and stuff, I mean, if it was important, why write about it right? But who knows, so much can happen. And as for Royce [not Ross ] it's a tough act, wife you love, child you love, family you love. Tell me you wouldn't want to find a way to keep them all. Next chapter will be up this week. Thanks again for stopping by and commenting. Andy

Yeah it is all written and frankly I . . . well you will have to wait a few chapter to see if the two get work this out or not. As for what happened to Peter - well somewhere amongst these reviews and responses, I left a hint, thanks all I can say. Thanks for the comments. Andy

Since I can't respond to your response to my review I will do it here - When I said your Chapters were long, I didn't mean wordy, I just meant LONG. Chapter 7 could and probably should have been 7, 8 & 9. 7 could have ended when they decided to go find a way home. Chapter 8 could have ended with them entering the Fortress and 9 would end where the chapter ended. I find it hard to read the whole chapter at one sitting so maybe it is just me but 7 & 8 chapters are considered long in my opinion. So if you have a big long chapter like that coming up, just make it two or three chapters and post them all at once if you like or one a day for three days. Or just tell me to go piss off and do it how you bloody well like Hopefully I will catch up before you start posting too much more and really dust me. Andy

Stuart, Love Chapter 9 glad a) Daniel is okay and he and and Matt are finally working things out. Couple questions and a couple comments - What's up with Ailarha and Matt - what's the feud about - for a group of people about to go to war for the future of their world, there is a bit of tension there - are you going to explain that in coming chapters?? What's up with the Lords and Lady's - are they the heads of house? Is that how Galwrock is organized socially and politically? Is Dan stuck there from now on? I mean they are about to take him to go train, but, um doesn't he have classes and stuff and won't he be missed back home?? Okay for the comments - and these won't be gushing with praise for your story - cause I did that enough First, I am not sure you explained the issues/resolution between Dan and Matt enough. You had Dan sacrifice himself for Matt and Matt save Dan and realized what his true feelings were BUT you never really had them explain their tension. Sure they each resolved their own inner demons but they never shared them with each other. Given how they have each acted so far, I am not sure the next step for both would be to hop in the shower together - at least not before they had a chance to talk out their differences. Of course I do get that Dan left the keys in Matt's hands so to speak, he wanted more but would go as slow or as fast as Matt wanted. So in that sense, Dan's reaction is understandable, but there is nothing that really shows us Matt's resolution. Maybe that is just me - but a bit more would be good IMHO. Second - Can you flesh out a bit the dynamic of what they are now - from fighting to a little shower fun to Daniel being the paramour of the Lord Matt, with enough status to be allowed into a high level meeting and to sit beside his 'lover.' maybe it is just me but that seems awful fast - especially in light of how slow things went up to now. Third - okay so I said not gushing praise but I lied. I think the way you detailed the Dark Energy and how Matt had to struggle to contain it was brilliant stuff. I mean the easy way is to say - 'he extended his healing energies and Dan was fine.' But you avoided that and took the harder more difficult task of explaining it in detail that made sense to the reader AND was believable - great stuff. Looking forward to Chapter 10. Andy

Dude, you are amazing - how do you know this stuff off the top of your head? Anyway, thanks for posting, you always get me to think or if not think, you make me laugh. Andy

Imo, Thanks as always - just one thing: [don't read if you don't want to know.] Next chapter will up by end of the week. Andy

LOL - Honestly I know I should know what that is from, but sadly I can't place what book it is from?

Simon, I can't say what happened to Peter - well I can but I won't Sometimes we can do more than we think if pushed - I will get 25 up this week so I won't keep y'all waiting too long. Thanks for taking the time to comment, always appreciated. Andy

You left out Kian, the orphaned Atlantean Boy - from Deeping Lore. Care to explain that??

Ok first, you write LONNNNGGGG Chapters. have you thought about breaking them into more smaller one?? Please?? LOL I sound like a broken record but damn this is amazing in it's imagery. You bring us into this warped world of Zanda yet don't let your characters get lost in the detail. Very nice. I sense conflict between Dylan and Kian. Kian may have said he understood what being an Omega meant - oh what we do in the throes of love - but I wonder if he is having second thoughts now that Dylan is telling him he is his 'bitch' and his pup. Clearly Kian has no intentions of being subservient to anyone other than Tethyr - not even Dylan. Until the rabbit said it, I didn't quite grasp the significance of their opposite natures. Valion Knights are knights in the truest sense. They protect the innocent. Kian, is an assassin for whom innocence, right or wrong have no meaning - just fill the contract and move on. So I know i am a few chapters behind but I am getting there. Great work so far. Andy

If you were flip flopping back and forth, then I am glad - they were both wrong, but isn't that so often the case when people argue? Peter did go looking for Jason - but what happened to him that put him the hospital is for chapter 25 to reveal. Thanks for posting and for the encouragement along the way - I do appreciate it. Andy

Drew, Thanks for that review. I have tried - with help whom I am not allowed to mention it seems - to make this as real as possible. I appreciate hearing if it works - and if it doesn't so I can work on it. I have a few more things to flesh out, then wrap it up. Thanks for reading and I appreciate that you took the time to write a review. Andy

Mike, I hate to disappoint you if Peter is in a bad way, but things don't always turn out so well - but more will become clear in the next chapter. Thanks for reading - and commenting = you have always been very supportive. Andy Andy

Marq Sorry no promises on if he is okay, but more on that in the next chapter. Things definitely will not improve however in the next chapter - sorry. Thanks for the feed back. Andy

Philippe 25 is written, I am just dragging out the suspense - well not really, I'm trying to get the last chapters up and ready so I don't have a long gap between chapters at the end. Thanks for reading and for all your support along the way. Andy

Thanks Darkstar, Most of it is written, just working a few more chapters so I can wrap it up. More will be us soon, promise. Thanks for reading and commenting. Andy

U said that to Anyta.. what have you to say for yourself Q-Man, huh??? Awesome stuff!! Waiting for more.. write fast.. please! Hugs, Frosty! Um . . . I'm not a queen ?? HEY!!!! Stop laughing Sorry to leave hanging - well no, I'm not totally sorry, but the next chapter will be up soon enough. Thanks Frosty

Ok Chapter 24 is up and I stole a page from Cia and Nephy - there is a tiny cliff here and maybe, just maybe someone is hanging from that cliff. Here is the link: Chapter 24 Benji, As I mentioned in my response to your comments about chapter 23 there is a part that you inspired me to write - if you can't see or guess what it is, open the spoiler and find out. Andy

Benji, I am torn regarding Royce. I feel that he is really looking for a way to fix this without destroying his relationship with either his wife or his son. I don't see it so much as without a 2nd thought, but more without really understanding what he is asking and more importantly how it will affect Jason's relationship with Peter. Royce has very little understanding of what goes on in the classes and as such thinks nothing of saying go and pretend - now I know that i was forced to go to church as a kid and even through college when I was home - and I know more than a few people who went did nothing more than pay lip service to the service. That is Royce, he goes to church but isn't the pillar of the congregation type and sees his son going as no big deal. BUT since you were late to the game - enjoying your holiday I hope - chapter 24 is up - so you can find out what happened. Thanks as always for commenting. You might actually even see something included that was inspired by you: I will leave a spoiler with the answer in the chapter announcement I will make in a moment. Andy

Imo, Wow - I wanted to just leave it at that - but well I guess i need to be a bit more articulate given all the effort you put into that post. First, I can't say if it will end badly or not - well i can, but I won't. Your assessment of just because it ends, doesn't mean it failed, is true, but it usually takes the heart a VERY long time to see it that way - that I can say from experience. I always try to give credit where it is due - Anyta has pushed me to be better at giving every more emotion, more feeling from the characters. If you feel like you know the characters, that is in no small part thanks to her. Thanks for the feed back - and well 24 is now up, so find out what happened. Andy
