  1. Hmm. I actually disagree with Linda's decision not to share her knowledge with Bobby. Their relationship seems too valuable to lose because of keeping something so important from him. How can he make a full and proper decision without the facts? I admire him for standing by someone he looks on as a friend. Without reasons her ultimatum can be looked at as a kind of emotional blackmail. And he's falling into the same trap by not telling her what he knows. I think they should talk over what they know and trust in each others confidentiality. Favorite phrase - 'Sometimes I could swear that horse was psychic. Great chapter.
  2. Whoo! I just noticed the Mach 25 top speed in space.

    Thank you. Endings are very hard to get right (I find) so I'm delighted this one worked for you. (Originally I planned to end with the Pig Ride but I couldn't make it work)

    Chapter 24

    And I've always looked for your comments and thoughts. The next part is still undecided. - maybe the founding of Attunga itself, as per some requests. - maybe Warrakan, Titania and beyond, as per many requests. I have many, many ideas and threads to build or round out but haven't yet come up with a foundation plot-line I'm happy with. Thanks for your time and encouragement.

    Thank you. Oh my. Reading your review made me realise I've been so focused on each chapter as it came that I haven't yet taken the time to read the story as a whole. I'm delighted you enjoyed the story.

    Chapter 24

    Mirri is the happiest and most unique character I've ever had in a story and I don't see how I'll ever come up with anyone quite like him. I knew the Dreamtime Concerto would be part of the story. I had emails asking about it in Attunga and when I decided on the prequel it pretty much had to be included. Thank you for sharing your ideas about the story in your reviews.

    Thank you M, Your steadfast and insightful reviews have kept me on my toes and been a great support. It's very affirming for me that the First Australian element of the story appears to have been significant to you. And, as always, thanks for your encouragement.

    MPARNTWE Chapter 24. "Who are the people?" "Fans, Mirri. They're here to see you." "More fans? We are not at home." Home meant Mparntwe where Mirri was getting used to people waving and smiling at him wherever he went. "You have fans in every country. They saw the Pig Ride and they like you. Put your headband on so they know who you are." Jarra looked at all the people, thousands of them, gathered on the tarmac and shared Mirri's incredulity. At home he'd been mostly sheltered from the pub

    Young Finn intrigues me more and more. I think there is material for a stand alone story about him. Split windshield! Wow! That really took me back to when I used to work on a farm and my boss would drive us out in his Ute with the two separate windscreens. I wonder how many years it's been since a ute was last made that way?
  16. I'd like to draw your attention to 'Withdrawing the anchor'. This is a beautiful little poem penned by Cynus and worthy of a read. You can find it in the Blogs section.
  17. Wow! That is wonderful. IMHO, Cynus, your poetry above says everything you explain in the prose, but far more powerfully. Truly impressive.

    Chapter 23

    The story is only scripted in advance as an overview. The immediate happenings and events are often surprise me when the characters seem to take over.

    Thank you erick.
  20. Brilliant!!
  21. Whoo! That sexologist is spouting nonsense from the past. Aversion therapies are almost invariably soul destroying activities. - as Dyno says - straight out brainwashing.
  22. HAVE A GREAT DAY!!
  23. Off to The Pit with you. This is the Games and Humor Forum.
  24. You've really put your foot in it this time!
  25. I enjoyed the nostalgia of hand milking cows which was my evening chore when I started secondary school. Imagery again.- The big photo in Cal's bedroom was the standout for me. Favorite line for this chapter. 'Are there any other boys who need help studying?' Wrestling in the bedroom. Lol.
