I was wondering if Grand was being prophetic or if someone in the Tenn. Legislature is reading his stories?

You know when you move, like way away, and think of friends in your old AO, and wonder how they're getting along? Well, in the last week or so, I've had those kinds of thoughts about Cindy, Charlie, Erica, Toby, and the rest of the 'family'. That is a tribute to your ability to bring the characters to life, and the impossibly challenging task of keeping it fictional and at the same time believable.

You, sir, are one of the best authors whose works I've been privileged to read. When you publish for-real, for-profit, I will buy one--nay, more than one; it's only fair, I've been given something by you that I would gladly pay for.

Many thanks again!

=-Since the PM's limit you to 500 Char's and I had a wordy response and don't want to wait 3000 seconds to put it all together.. -=

Honestly I had never read any of your fiction till this past week, even when FS had it open. I was going back through my PM's here and remembered you were also a Mod of the fiction forum and appreciated how you helped me edit my story down to make it more forum friendly and stumbled across yours. Second Chance was the first of yours I've read and I agree with many here;

You do write as well as the authors of One Second After, Lights out etc. There is a part of the story that sort of hit home for me as well. My wife and I operate a Group home for at risk teens and runaways, and have one of the last large group home/foster care licenses in the state. Being a prepper and trying to live the lifestyle has put me under scrutiny of the county agency, dhs and state at times. All they care about in the end is if the kids are safe.

Just like your Gov from Tenn!! I don't know how much you know about CPS or the adoption process, but you've actually hit it very close to perfect!

I am also sort of an out of the closet prepper so to speak which makes OPSEC a bit difficult.. (any advice?) :) We've had kids say we had no running water or we have no food in the house (so they could try to get home) and I've shown them the well, the hand pump, and the food storage as well as the gardens, rabbit pens etc.. So.. Not sure how safe the preps are at my main location, but my backup BOL can be stocked up rather quickly from the house stores..

Now it's time to Devour Lucky..

Thanks Man!

Thanks, grand, this should sell well. I hope you can post your nonfiction experiences over there that gave you the insight to write this story.
Thanks to admin for activating my account!

For some reason I feel really good now.

Must have been the ending.

Congratulations to a fantastic story done well!

[Ozarks Lady]

Next? Next I get a good night's sleep lol

Well maybe one or two.. LOL

[wogglebug]

Thank you!

Grand, just grand.

There's a difference between a storyteller and an author.
The best stories are told by someone who is competent or better as both.
That would be you.
Again, thank you.
