I want to make one thing clear to everyone, I was honored to just be nominated, further honored to have made the cut. Thank you to everyone involved. However, all four other stories nominated in the New Author Category, deserves votes. Each of them have been at this a lot longer than I have, and deserve your recognition. That's not to say I don't think Trials and Tribulations is any good, with the help I've received, I do think it is a good story. KC, Sean, Old Bob and Naptowngirl have been writing much longer than I have and have good stories as well. I have no problem at all coming in fifth to these authors. If I am truly good at story telling, my time will come. When I started Trials and Tribulations, all I wanted was to enjoy writing it and have my readers to enjoy it as well. I know I have enjoyed it, and if my readers have enjoyed it as well, then I am truly happy. Peace and love to all of you! ~Billy~

Can you say yank in the south?

I didn't think Rory was a bad character. I was lucky in that I got to read the story straight through without having to wait on a chapter a week or whatever the time frame used. We all react differently to major events in our lifes and what Rory went through would caused many adults to react much more poorly. I had no problems with the review. After all, it's just one person's opionion. I'm sure there are other stories that the reviewer and I would disagree on. As it has been said, the point of the feature and review was to remind people of Dom's awesome stories and to offer a chance for dialog concerning Dom's work. I hope one day my work will inspire a discussion like this. Then I will know I have reached a level where my work actually have possibilities. Until then, I will be happy to read stories that make me think and feel like this story has.

I am who I am, not what I am.

How long has Bill been hiding the X?

I have to take the time to stop what I'm doing and thank those of you who thought this story was worthy enough to nominate it for Best Story and Best Story by a new author. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that would be possible when I first decided to write a story. When I started I had a vague idea where the story would go, but not how I would get there. Each week so many of you have encouraged me and slapped my hand when I had negative thoughts concerning my abilities. I must confess that I am probably enjoying the story as much as you are. I just hope that with the help of Ryan and Wayne, I can at least maintain the level in story tellin as I find myself now, to be able to finish a story we have come to enjoy. And dont forget ladies and gentlemen, it you like it, click it. ~Billy~

Chapter 11 is about ready to post. It's with the editor now for final editing So stay tune!

I can't wait to read more of your stories. And one from Peter's point of view would be awesome. You're one of my favorite authors here, so anything you post, is good with me. Keep on keeping on

Who is staking a steak when a new chapter is in the mail?

Good points and I hoped I have gotten better with each chapter. I could say that Andy knew because as they went towards the room, he over heard him telling the deputy what to do and he saw his dad walking outside pulling out his phone. However, I could have made that plainer and will do so in the future. That's something that should have been caught and corrected. I'm sorry. I corrected it this way... “Yes sir.” She said and told me to follow her to an empty room with Joey. As we followed her I overheard my Dad tell the Deputies to check the lobby for Miss Anderson and the State Detective. He then walked outside and pulling out his phone I assumed to make a phone call. Thank you for you comments and observations. ~Billy~
