    Chapter 21

    Intrigue has re-entered the story with secret orders and an evident side mission to Rio. The British consul has also been summoned. I wonder what surprise Mr. Arbour has concocted for us? A very quick read. Good job.
  2. Brickbrain. Ok, not as catchy as I was expecting, but it fits. Point Nemo caught my curiosity and I came up with this site that also has a map plotting the point. The map does include the New Zealand land mass as well as the west coast line of South and North America. http://geocuriosa.com/pointnemo/index.html Surely, the FBI is not really as dense as the agent depicted..... Now, I am waiting for the next snippet of a chapter in the ongoing saga! Thanks CJ!
  3. Through Mark's stories available in his Yahoo group I came to learn of GA and joined in 2009. He is still my absolute favorite author.
  4. Your dad was a special man. Wisdom doesn't always come with age or experience, but your dad embodied it. From other things you have written, you were a very lucky girl to have wise, thoughtful, caring and loving parents. Hopefully, the lessons you learned, you are passing on to your family. Thanks for passing this on to your GA family.
  5. Whether elder abuse could be legally proven is irrevelent; the clear implication from the story is that Elizabeth keeps her mother over medicated and in a nursing home so that the estate can be controlled. Wade's handling of that along with the shennagins his mother plans to use on him about the land deal should be interesting. It would be satisfying to not only see him turn her riposte aside but for him to counter, wresting control of his grandmother's estate from his mother. Just speculating.....

    Chapter 68

    What an interesting chapter, filled with surprises and tantalizing little tidbits. It seems that Elizabeth Danfield has managed to piss off and piss on just about everyone in her family. That she may be keeping her own mother drugged is nothing less than shocking. Wade is resourceful and it should be interesting to see how he digs out the facts on this as well as dealing with his mother's machinations against him. The earlier part of the chapter involving Wade's conversation with JP was insightful as well and certainly made Wade think about things as well. Well done! As usual, another compelling chapter.
  7. Happy Birthday!

    Chapter 1

    As a parent of an active, inquisitive teenager, you don't get those moments often! Thank heavens you have an active imagination.....
  10. Bridget is nervous and hopefully as the cartel begins to become aware that she has not solved the "problem" which she already promised that it was solved, they will begin to make her life a little more intense. Just wishin'!
  11. That damn intermittent transmitter that Gray has on Trevor's cat is a royal pain.... Thankfully, the witche's assasins should arrive too late if Trev and Shane get out of Whatever and New Zealand as soon as they are supposed to. Still, so many loose ends to tie up. On the writing. Can't wait until next week....
  12. Kindness and acceptance are so positive. Small minds, prejudice and callousness are so cold. Joann, we know now from whom you get your warm caring nature.
  13. A lot of thought and work went into this chapter and it shows. Good job. The quest to stop Hartley is firmly established. Shay's "gift" is better understood, but I still don't think he really knows how to control it. Mira, the miracle product of the gift twice given is still mostly an enigma. However, his love of Shay is absolute and constant. Can't wait for some more!
  14. Giants Win! It took 10 innings but the Giants sweep winning tonight 4-3.

    Chapter 20

    Good riddance to Mr. Conway! A wonderful chapter with a full Granger fix to include a little visit from King Neptune! Well done!
  16. The discussion and point made just above is a good example of constructive criticism. Even elite authors can get into a zone where they know what they want to say and think they have, but it doesn't quite make it. Editors too apparently get so inside their author's head that stuff like this gets by them. That's why the site recommends editors and beta readers and even so; sentences can get garbled. In Mark's defense, his legion of faithful fans are usually also quite in tune with what he thinks and most just passed that example by without any notice. And IMHO, understood it nearly as well as Sharon.
  17. 10-27-12 Giants win game 3 by the score of 2-0 and are up 3 games to none! Matt Cain starts tomorrow. It could be over.
  18. Poor Jeanine, suffering from mental illness and part of her family acts so dependent on her that they have to pile on and give her more to be upset about while still not in a stable place. The fact that Will has thought things through more than his brothers or Robbie speaks volumes.
  19. Giants win 2-0 playing small ball tonight and are up 2-0 in the series. With the travel day, the Giants can get their usual pitching rotation back. On the other side, Detroit has been awesome at home....
  20. True, but he started game 1 with his best pitcher and Verlander was no match for the Giants.....
  21. Giants win Game one with Sandoval hitting 3 homers. Final was 8-3.
  22. USA Canada Japan Vietnam The Netherlands United Kingdom France
  23. Feints and counter feints, but luck was on the side of Rachel and Fowler. When the kooky kid almost pressed the button on the signal device, I almost passed out. Shane and Trev are clueless. Hopefully, the witch remains clueless for at least a while as well. The issue of the paper that carries part 2 of the story is going to be an eyeopener and will cause problems. Hopefully, it will cause things to come to a head for the evil villains of the piece well before Shane and Trev reach the Panama Canal Zone. Still a lot of loose ends to tie up...

    Full Circle

    Hurray! The bad guys were foiled and are under surveillance. The witch is falsely relieved and Trev and Shane are clueless.
  25. The Cards couldn't score over the course of the last few games and that doomed them. My prediction for the World Series is that the Giants will do well. (I always root for the National League team.)
