Needs editing and polishing... but ignore that because it's a hugely enjoyable read. Thank you Krista.

God Toast, I see what you mean mate ! Maybe rough but a bloody enjoyable read. Forget the haters (I know I'm a bit late... 7 years late... but still, especially in these times... just forget the haters. Stephen

I'm here Toast... it's still good (I ain't putting it down yet). Stephen

Excellent story, heart warming and well written. Thank you Luv. Stephen

Obama ???

F**k this is good Palantir. I thoroughly enjoyed 'Attunga' but "you've hit it out of the park" with 'Mparntwe'. Thank you. Stephen

Very scary how prescient a book you wrote in 2013 is dk, considering how things are in the US now in 2018. Very scary... BURN THE WIZARD !

Great read as always Cynas, thank you. Stephen

Thank you Rilbur, Trillion Dollar Family was great fun (though the title is average). A great read. Stephen

Thank you Topher, I read Return of the Sun many years ago but this was just as enjoyable the second time around. Stephen

Absolutely brilliant Hamen, thank you.

Excellent read Libby, I too will read more from your obviously talented pen. Stephen

Thank you Topher, a beautiful story well told.

Hi Stellar, sorry about that... I thought the comment we're attached to the particular chapter I went to comments from. I'll have a look and see if I can find it again. In the meantime, thank you for these brilliant works. I haven't read anything for years that have enthralled me as much as Hidden Sunlight and Veil of Shadows. Have you started (or finished) the (final ?) Sequel ? I hope so because you have me now. Stephen.

Hi Stellar, I enjoyed Hidden Sunlight immensely and am looking forward to continuing with Veil of shadows. Just a question... on the second last paragraph you say 'Mira picked up the kitten'. Did you mean 'Shay picked up the kitten'... or did I miss something ? Stephen.

Thank you thecalimack.

I'm not sure I like you any more jkw. You keep playimg with our emotions like this. You are a bad bad person

Great story jkw, thank you.

A great series of Prompts. The only problem I have is I've run 'likes' for the day but I need to keep reading. Thank you for all your stories Carlos.

Very interesting and timely. However, as a non American I just can't let this conversation go by without bringing up the Guns issue. Yes, the founding fathers wrote about 'A well armed militia' etc... but there are stats that give the lie to most of the rubbish I read and hear about gun ownership in the US. Regardless of your 'inalienable rights'... gun deaths in the US are over 30,000 per year with over 70,000 non fatal injuries. 100,000+ people per year. No other western country in the world has this problem like the US. Until the good folk of America can clearly see that the almost masochistic love of guns many in the US have, is the root cause of so much death, destruction and social ills that you have, you'll continue to add to the near half million men, women and children who have died this century from gun violence. That figure is worth repeating... that's 500,000 people dead from guns in one country in 16 years with another 1,000,000 people injured. JD had it right when he argued that Australia has a different perspective (thank you Carlos). I don't intend to get into a debate with anyone over your Second Amendment Rights... but figures don't lie. Gun Deaths per 100,000 of population (circa 2014) CANADA 1.9 Australia .93 UK .23 Germany 1.01 Japan .06 US 10.54 By all means ya'll talk about the cultural, political and historical reasons for guns... but the figures don't lie. Stephen

Enjoying the journey Carlos, thank you. Just a note though on the Rabbitohs. South Sydney is a rugby League team, not a Rugby Union team. Rugby Union is referred to as Rugby, Rugby League is known as League. Considerable difference in the rules, number of players and tactics using the same basic concept.

Hey Ronyx, loving the book but is there a scene missing between chapter 13 and 14. At the beginning of this chapter Curtis appears to be in serious trouble with his parents but I can't find a reason (apart from the obvious... he's a total #$@@). I hope it's just a paragraph or two and not an entire chapter. Stephen.

I began to suspect there was more to this... it just rang (sadly) true. Your writing and your struggle are inspirational to all of us. Thank you WolfM. Stephen

Excellent Sojourn... only one small criticism (my personal bugbear), there were a couple of 'loose' instead of 'lose' in there. Loving the story. Stephen
