So, it comes to and end it appears. What a wonderful journey you have taken us on. One thing I want to hold up is the way that you would start a chapter with a sentence, an idea or and event and I would go, "Where the hell did that come from?" Then you would go about filling in the back story. I guess what I want to say is that the way you handled it did not at all feel like foreshadowing which is a technique that often is tiresome, trite, or poorly used. The way you handled it was masterful. You did have me on pins and needles though when you started the chapter with Alex awakening on a wooden floor in a room without a toilet just after running into the truck driver. I wasn't sure what was going to come of that and I REALLY appreciate not being able to figure out story lines ahead of time. I look forward to reading your next endeavor. Oh, if you publish under any other names, please point me in that direction -- I want to read more of your work.

I have been enjoying this story tremendously but it is becoming too episodic and starting to become annoying instead of pleasurable. You are about to lose me as a reader and I really do not want that to happen.

Thanks for a grand story. I really look forward to reading more of your work.

In these chapters you created a story line that remained consistently strong. I look forward to seeing what you do with this. Two caevats that I offer after having read many other works. First, please keep the story flowing by posting regularly. Irregular posts or long periods between posts are quite destructive and I would hate to se you waste such a good start. Second (and I do not know how to give content to this) I hope you can avoid so many of the "gay love story" cliches upon which less skilled and imaginative writers fall back. Again, this is too good a start to throw away in such a fashion. Good luck and thanks for the great read.

This looks like a good start and I look forward to seeing where you go with it. One request -- please get rid of the script font. It makes it hard to read thus distracting from your storytelling. Of course, that is just my opinion.

I am not sure how to contact the author directly, but perhaps this will get through. Thank you for an utterly delightful read. When I started reading the series, I believed this would be just another predictable gay love story. How wrong I was. The twists and turns in the plot were unexpected but most welcome. It is clear that you have a respect for your craft, your characters, and your readers. Again, many thanks.
