I do try to fill in the blanks for the readers in the remaining paragraphs.<br /><br />The second chapter is one that allows the reader to catch their breath, letting them get the "lay of the land" so to speak. <br /><br />Have you ever started watching a TV program that starts with a bang, throws you a curve, then the words appear: "24 hours earlier"?<br /><br />My first and second chapters are like that.<br /><br />And thanks for the support. I am indeed up against it. But as Victor says, "Impossible just gives birth to legends."<br /><br />Speaking of legends, you actually see the genesis of the legend of Excalibur in BEST OF ENMEIES.<br /><br />Trisha:<br />Thanks. Hope you enjoy seeing the character who bears your name done by Leonora Roy.<br /><br />Walter:<br />Good to see you here again! Don't be such a stranger. Yes, LOL. Renfield, a child of Victorian times as is Sam, loves his high-tech toys!Roland D.

This is one English class I'm glad ...Hi Roland. This is one English class I'm glad I wasn't in, lol. The tension is high right from the start and it continues to sizzle. Although to anyone who hadn't read your previous novels, they would be wondering at the first mention of Victor, as it's unclear (unless you're initiated) who he is and why he suddenly pops in. I had to go back and read a few times to sort out what was happening. You know the story so well, but you mustn't expect others do. Maybe a bit slower??? <br /><br />This is just my thoughts. Maybe I'm way off. I just tried to read from the point of view of someone who doesn't know these characters.<br /><br />The artwork is indeed amazing. I'm sorry to hear The Rival isn't doing well. I've yet to download a copy but you know you're up against it - isn't there something like 100,000+ e-books posted either daily or weekly? Scary competition.<br /><br />DeniseDenise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.com
