  1. Happy Birthday, Stellar. Hope it's a great one.
  2. Not sure about the fascination with twinkies, especially fried twinkies, but it certainly helps to explain some of the obesity problem. Personally, my obsession is with chocolate, especially dark chocolate.

    A Deadly Choice

    Thanks, Yetti, I'm glady you enjoyed it and to roll an 11 too. lol By the way, even though I may be old, I'm not old enough to have lived in a medieval etting.
  4. They're cute when they're small, but you'll change your mind when they grow up and are hungry. lol
  5. Looks as if it will be a riot to watch. You've got to love Ian McKellen.
  6. Cannd, welcome to GA, at least your first post, and I'm sorry I missed this program. It sounded very interesting, but I happened upon it after the fact. I hope it will be reaired at another time.
  7. Yes, the pull of the moon not only affects the tides, but as James pointed out, it can have other dubious effects as well.
  8. Happy Birthday, Viv. I hope it's a great one.
  9. A couple of people have been trying to encourage me to write another book in The Castaway Hotel series. I'm just not sure there's enough interest, since it's such a long series already. I'd love some input into this matter and would like to know if you feel I should think about another book or just leave the series at the point it is now, with The Next Generation wrapping it up. All comments will be appreciated and responded to. Thank you.
  10. Sure. Me and my big mouth. Since I made that last comment, about hoping the Braves don't collapse, they gone into a tailspin. They lost so many games since then that they must consider me a jinx.

    A Deadly Choice

    Thanks, Joann, and I'm glad you tried it with the dice. I had Jem set up the choices so the odds were definitely in his favor, so he'd save as many as he could.

    Story

    I enjoyed the role reversal. where the one usually taking care of the other suddenly finds himself the dependent one. I enjoyed their relationship and give and take. I pictured a really cute couple.

    Chapter 1

    Great Job, Cassie. Loved how you tied the relationship to D & D, but enjoyed the twist at the end when Carter said he liked to stake the odds. I don't know about you, but there are 7 dice in my set, with the lowest possible roll a 4, so the odds were definitely stacked in his favor. lol Fun story.

    Worth It

    A dark tale of someone wanting love so badly that he is willing to justify the abuse. It happens far too often and scars so many. Will it ever end?
  15. A unique, interesting and enjoyable read. A truly imaginative world, beset by an intriguing problem, which I thought was well handled. Bravo.

    A Deadly Choice

    Thanks for the feedback RJ and I'm glad you enjoyed the details, because some readers think I include too much. By the way, in the Author's Note before the different endings I suggested that the readers might want to roll their own dice to see how things would have turned out. I'm just curious if anyone actually did it.
  17. Andy, a very good read. Scott, the angel whose halo is held up by a pair of horns is rescued by the school's bad boy and his even worse family. Nice twist. I'm glad things worked out for both of them and they were rewarded for sticking by each other.

    A Deadly Choice

    Thanks for the feedback, but not necessarily eight were lost. I'm curious as to whether anyone actually rolled a pair of dice to see how the story would have turned out. I did, and my rolls worked to his advantage, although the results weren't perfect.

    Chapter 1

    Wayne, what a shocking turn of events. Shades of Matthew Shepard, but without as disasterous an ending. It was a very moving story, as well as shocking, and if the true story was part of your life, I'm glad you survived.

    Chapter 1

    Damn, I'm so sad. I was rooting for Sean and Will. It was still a lovely story. Very powerful.
  21. I was transported to another time and learned a valuable lesson. Beware of bitter, gossipy maids. lol An interesting whodunit.

    A Deadly Choice

    Thanks, KC, and I'm glad you enjoyed the story. As far as the ending, thank WL for making the suggestion to give those choices, rather than having no ending or one particular ending.

    A Deadly Choice

    Thanks, Dolores. As I told Wayne, Jem was just trying to make the best of a bad situation and put himself in a position where he had the greatest chance of success.

    A Deadly Choice

    Thanks, Wayne. Yes, it was a tough position to be put into, but I think you'd find many examples in life where people have to make similar choices. I just tried to show a creative way Jem tried to stack the odds in his favor.
  25. This is my submission to the Summer Anthology. Yes, I took the theme quite literally, but I would love to hear your comments.
