    Thank you, B J. I find there are a lot of good people who want to help, but no one asks. (I wish there was a smaller font to use for what I'm about to say, but I was afraid Tom was going to pull it after the first hour, saying it was counter to the FS guidelines.) Anyway, it's good to hear from you ... and, oh my God! I just realized you gave me a six! Thank you, my dear, dear friend!

    Oh, B.J., so sorry to hear about your loss of a loved one. And at only 24. That is so sad. And the problem with your vision.

    It puts it in perspective when I find myself complaining about my chronic hip pain. Sometimes it's just hope that keeps us going. Don't lose yours!

Well congratulations on finding a publishier and some beta readers to check it out. This is fantastic to get such great response so quickly. I wasn't here five year ago so I did read the story you are referring to. Maybe I'll get a chance to buy it and read it when it is published. I think the Genius in Love should see print at some point.

    But, you said you read it ... I believe you meant you didn't read it. Anyway, thank you for your offer to possibly buy it later on.

I'm so glad you've come up with some "beta readers". But of course I wish you every success, I remember reading a series of your episodes set in an imaginary place, with some deity, loved the series. Well done, good luck Jay, blessings Roy

Oh sure, I remember The Trining. And how exciting is it that you are going to publish. I'm also glad to hear you have your asked for beta-readers. It's pretty neat that fellow FanStorians are right in there cheering along a fellow member.

Yay, Jay. :))

    Gloria, thank you so much! You were (and still are) one of the pantheon of gods back then who I so looked up to.

This is an intriguing concept to me. Ask people to work for nothing. Even more intriguing, they actually agreed. You could have at least offered them a reviewer's nomination vote, no?

    The ones I selected volunteered, I believe, because they were driven to want to help. They were as excited to be chosen as I was to have them aboard.

I read your nice story with much interest, and some glee, I love ice cream as well. Great introduction, I got hooked from the very beginning, the tiletitle, I must say. At the same time I give you my warmest congratulations in your del with a publisher deal.

I am glad you found your readers. I can't wait to read your published book. I will gladly buy it. Although, I would surely love if it could be autographed by one of my very favorite authors.

Hey, congratulations, Jay! Great to know you have a book deal. I've always wondered why it hadn't happened for you long before now. And, I'm glad you already have plenty of readers, as I knew you would. Wishing you the best!
