Totally enjoying your writing! A fascinating storyline that draws me in. No I just read your wonder story about New Orleans, Book One of your Histoires de Noir series. Love this very different genre as much as I enjoyed the Noir stories.

Fascinating turn of events! Your attention to detail Is wonderful!

A delightful story thus far. You're doing a great job developing Ray's character. Really enjoying that aspect of the story right now.

Jack, your writing is enthralling. You are able to conjure a scene with your words that transports us to that time and place. It's a gift you are sharing. Thank you.

Sounds great! Anxiously awaiting book two!

Great to hear you're planning to write a sequel, Jack! Any timeframe established yet on publishing the second book?

Hope for renewal in the midst of devastating destruction. You are pulling us into the world of Etienne, Amélie, and Marie quite artfully, Jack. Delightfully hopeful with great suspense.

A beautiful start to an eloquently written tale. Your writing draws me in, making it hard to put down to continue with life's regular routine. Lovely.

A truly delightful story! I love a happy ending!

The mixture in your writing of humor with near heartbreak is enthralling. Thank you.

A beautiful ending. Thank you for that grace. In a world of meanness and turmoil, we need stories like this. Marvelously written and full of tenderness and subtlety. Bravo!

Fantastic storytelling. You have a beautiful eloquence to your writing. Thanks for sharing your talents.

Delightful exchanges amongst siblings who truly seem to like and enjoy each other.

Beautiful writing. The letters do indeed read like poetry.

Wondering when the next chapter is coming....? Really enjoying this story!

Thoroughly enjoyed this story, but wondering about a sequel. Any plans for continuing the story?

A delightful, albeit sad story. Thank you for sharing our writing talents with us. You have a gift for storytelling. I totally was drawn in.

Good writing. Enjoying reading this story. Thanks for sharing your writings with us.

Any plans in the offing to continue this series? Sure would love that to happen. Lots of possibilities.

This story drew me in, prompting me to think about each chapter later, reveling in the details and connections drawn in such fascinating ways. The author conveys the growing love between the lead characters masterfully. Using the language of the working class of the day is interesting without dragging down the artful progression of the plot line. I especially like the language, "someone made like he was." There's so much meaning behind that phrase. Boone and Coy didn't choose to be gay, that's the way they're made. Love that message. And the gentle use of Bible verses throughout is not only authentic to the time period, but truly conveys an affirmation of their love for each other. And it's certainly apropos for today. The whole story is beautifully written with great imagery and symbolism throughout. There's drama and intrigue without it being too heavy or oppressive, which is a hard balance to strike. But this author has achieved that balance. I really appreciate the author's thoughtful prose that conveys so much, building upon itself towards a delightful climax.

Beautifully written with great imagery and symbolism throughout. I really appreciate your thoughtful prose that conveys so much, building upon itself towards a delightful climax.

Great buildup to this wonderful turning point, this climax... literally and figuratively. LOL Exciting days ahead for these two. We hope!

Really enjoying this series. Thanks again for sharing your talent.

I already completed a recommendation for this story. Perhaps I didn't look hard enough, but I don't see how to complete a review. I click on the word "reviews" and the stars beside it, but there's no live link there. Happy to write a review, but the webmaster should consider making the process a little more intuitive. Maybe I'm just dense. LOL Again, wonderful story! 🥰
