    What a well told story of longing in an era of doubt and misunderstanding. The pastor's history and understanding was a fresh version that I really appreciated. It would be very easy to send this tale down a dark path with a small town's ignorance, but applaud your ability to turn it into something hopeful with the pastor's acceptance, of all people's. I think your storytelling skills improve with each story you tell. I really enjoyed the structure of the scenes as we worked our way through this period piece. Well done.

    Tragic in so many ways. I applaud your fearlessness in your choice of topic. While it leaves us with many questions, its message is no less striking. Well done.

    It's always nice to read an uplifting story that shows a promise of a better future for the people involved. The feel good premise and plot makes me willing to forgive the POV change at the reveal. It made me smile. Makes me want to see what Paul and Robert's courtship will be like. (nudge, nudge)

    I want a Moshe of my own! Honestly, I'm really enjoying Miah's frustration with his recovery and awkwardness at the generosity of his suitors. He's clearly a proud man who's worked hard for what's his. Looking forward to the next installment. Will it be complete in one more or two anthologies?

    Nice Q & A, but I'm highly doubting his wardrobe at 6:30am in his home office. (I'm picturing something more sparse.) Leopard Skin Cover was my first sojourn into Graeme's work and I'm glad I did. Now I just need to find time for more.

    An absolutely clever take on the prompt! Loved it!

    Nicely done! Great job building suspense and keeping a series of red herrings to keep us guessing not only who but when the big news would strike. I have my suspicions as to Ken's identity and was right but you still made me doubt my guess as we closed in. I am impressed. The coming out was powerful. Ken's fear and need to run, second guessing himself in spite of it being his idea was very well played. This was so worth reading in one sitting. There were a lot of characters, but I didn't have difficulty keeping them sorted. Excellent!

    Sweet! I didn't realize it was finished in all my craziness! I can sit down and read it all the way through!

    Cole's prompt was well worth the read. Go check it out!

    Being somewhat new (2 years-ish) to GA, I haven't had the pleasure of being familiar with AnytaSunday. What a great introduction! Thanks for the heads up and for the other info these Q & A's always unearth.

    This one always sounds like it has the potential to be very exciting. It's still sitting on my must read list. I love Nephylim's writing. I need more hours in my day.

    Congratulations, Dyno on going green! Be gentle with us! Nice showing on the weekly reading list from everyone. Nicely done! I hope to be up there again soon.

    Very nicely done, Cole.

    Welcome to GA. We look forward to meeting new members!

    Totally understandable, Layla. Take whatever time you need. We're not going anywhere and you haven't been forgotten.

    Nice work keeping to the key aspects on the trial to maintain the tension. You can just feel Asher's anxiety going through the roof. Is it next Wednesday yet?

    I read Andy's Second Shot and loved it. This is high on my to do list because of that. Someone find me some free time to read!

    Given how broad the audience of GA is, do you ever find readers having difficulty understanding the subtleties of your stories? Or do they revel in it? As in, there is a decidedly European (for lack of a better descriptor) air to these stories. Do American readers (or readers from other countries) ever say they find the nuances disconnecting or do they find that cultural difference something that draws them into it? I personally have no problem with the non-American tone, it's something I enjoy.

    Oh crap! The Sigs are slacking and the Proms are making headway! I need to get something new up and showing soon! Gratz all around to everyone! The new colors look good on you!
