    Chapter 19

    And now the real trouble begins. How does Elijah know about what plans Phil, et al, have? The plot thickens...

    Chapter 50

    I want to take this vacation!

    Chapter 18

    I do love the intrigue! It will be interesting to find out whether Elijah is friend or foe.

    Chapter 17

    We are in for some heavy intrigue! The reference to Jed is not a simple idea, methinks!

    Chapter 16

    I love the descriptions of the buildings, the scenery, the taste of the wine, the feelings...in short, brilliant! I feel that I am right in the scene vicariously observing what each character is experiencing: a true literary gift! That said, the intrigue continues to build. I'm eager to discover Elijah's true role in all this - he does sound like a missionary, but for whom and for what? Great job again, Mike Arram!!

    Chapter 15

    Until Dressner/Dawson is dealt with properly, I don't trust that the trouble is over for Phil and Ben. We'll see. Another well done chapter, Mike Arram!

    Christmas Day

    I know that after 10 years after my aunt died at age of 26 from a rheumatic heart, my grandmother grieved heavily. She wouldn't have a Christmas tree, did not want to hear the piano played, and cried almost daily. I finally bought a small Christmas tree and set it up in her living room and it started bringing a bit of joy back into the house. She grieved still, but allowed joy to re-enter her life. I truly do understand grief from this experience. I am interested as a counselor how you handle Pam's grief. This chapter has so many wonderful elements. Another great job, Carlos. Tony

    Chapter 14

    Well played! However, it could mean even more protection is needed for Phil and Ben as Dressner's cronies will want to protect themselves.

    That makes two of us....

    As long as neither of us is an "Alex"...

    Not that quick! We have to meet first!

    Chapter 13

    I'm there with you as far as grandchildren go! However, I do love a clean house - I clean wherever I am too (my sister's or my son's houses, that is). And, believe it or not, I like washing dishes and doing laundry!

    Chapter 13

    Fascinating chapter - the setup to more intrigue. Keep 'em coming, Mike Arram!

    Chapter 11

    Well done, Mike Arram, well done!! I am loving the spacing of the release of chapters, though I could read straight through...

    Chapter 10

    Ah, now we get into the intrigue that will allow Terry to do his thing!. And the lawsuit to follow will lead to salivation!

    Chapter 10

    It would be just if Jerry was the one to notice...

    Chapter 8

    OF course I love the warm romance. Yet, the cynic in me still rears up to believe that all this only happens to such young people, that those in their 40's are considered old and graying (Please: I didn't start getting gray until my 60's! - and still not fully gray or white haired at 71!), that such young people can be so precocious in business, government, etc. Now that I've gotten that out of my system, I truly am enchanted with these tales and look forward to each chapter! Great job, Mike Arram!

    Chapter 7

    Mike Arram, I love this latest addition to the Rothenian Tales. How often will you publish chapters?

    Chapter 7

    I actually find Phil's actions funny! Why? Because both Karen and Alistair were intent on humiliating Phil. Now he knows why Karen was not truly intimate with him - she probably felt trapped too but did not know how to let him know. When he gets home, it will be quite interesting!
  20. I have a feeling something is going to hit the fan fairly soon......

    I view Singer as an ancillary volume - not directly a CJ volume, but a wonderful side note. You're not getting off the hook for this, lol! Your talent is too valuable!!!

    Christmas Eve

    I am going to enjoy the vicarious vacation in Australia. I love the family dynamics. Of course, there will be some bumps in the road...that's what adds to the dynamics. Thanks, Carlos, for another volume in the CJ series! By my count, only 24 more to go!
  23. This is a wonderful story which challenges faith and organized religion. It is both entertaining and thought provoking, a story which appeals to our intellect as well as our emotion.

  24. If someone is against the judgment done by Hilda, then, rather than dismissing her as a "cow", someone better than others, etc. (all of which might well aptly describe her, but are nonetheless judgmental), then judging her only serves to make one equal to her rather than offering her the opportunity to confront her limited vision. This is a Christian church: it should be marked by whom it includes rather than whom it excludes. Otherwise, it is not truly striving to do as the teacher did in both words and deeds. This is a wonderful and thought provoking story as evidenced through all the wonderful comments. Thanks for offering this for our enjoyment!
