Fantastic! Mark, your writing gets better and better. Love how you had us crying at Wade 's grief and cheering at Elizabeth's nose being firmly put out of joint with Ethan. Love it, love it, love it.

You pig, Mark! I was so enjoying this charming, romantic chapter. So happy for Winkler. So enjoying an emotional rest from 9.11.....Poor Winkler, the bottom drops out of his world. I hope this is a small squall and not a hurricane storm. He deserves to be happy. Granger would be the means of allowing them to be together without it being obvious. It must have been awful having to disguise who you loved. Having just moaned at you, it must have been quite common for gay men to marry. It could be a marriage of convenience. From his earlier conversation, Jacobs doesn't seem to have any plans to go home, maybe this is a divorce in all but name. Who knows? Well, you do, Mark. I trust you to treat Winkler with the same affection that George does.

Chapter 38: Survivors and Victims
damejintymcginty commented on Mark Arbour's story chapter in Chapter 38: Survivors and Victims
So sad about Robbie. Glad he was able to say goodbye to Brad. I have tears in my eyes. Great writing again, Mark. -
Ooh la la! George in Paris. He is everything the French should hate: English and aristocracy. However, I'm sure he will fare well. There are so many characters and potential story lines, I can't wait to see what happens next.

Great chapter as always. I really feel the building tension and sense of impending doom. I feel I want to read the next few chapters from behind the sofa. Instead, I'll make sure I'm on my own with a big box of hankies. I remember where 9.11 as if it were yesterday, and I'm a Brit. Must be so much more painful for you as Americans. Thanks again for tackling such an emotional period of recent history. P.S Please don't kill off JP! Jinty x

Hi Mark, Tried to reply to your comment about Chartley in my review. Did you kill him off? Thought he went off to China with John Company in chapter 45. Did he succumb to an Opium addiction? If I missed that then I promise to dye my hair blonde as I seem to have gone dizzy. If, as I suspect, you are teasing me...ignore my opium ref. I don't want Chartley to 'do a Jeff'. Don't think my poor heart would stand it.

I agree with Rjo. Poor George! I am loving these books. Even more so than CPA, if that's not swearing. I love the sense of realism. I keep having to look up places or battles to follow George better. You have woven him so well into the fabric of history. Although I don't believe in giving characters an easy time, poor George has been hit rather hard. My only personal request is for his HEA to be with Chartley, pretty please, sugar cherries and sprinkles? Thanks again Mark for your superb writing.

Five Years of Writing: Reflections
damejintymcginty replied to Mark Arbour's topic in Mark Arbour Fan Club's Topics
I started the series last week and have not put my Kindle down since I started. I have just caught up to the end of 9.11. Highlights were JP and Steff finally getting together. Lowlight was Jeff's drug problem and finding out Sam was there when he killed himself. However, as I think that the mark of a good writer is that they make you think, that event haunted my thoughts and made me uncomfortable for days. I know feel like the viewers at the end of The Truman Show who had to return to normality. I have been completely immersed in JP's world all week. I look forward to what comes next. Jinty x
