This is a well written piece of work. I like bite size chapters. I found this one easy to read and follow, especially coming into a story so late without reading any previous chapters. I could definitely sense the chemistry between Anderson and Shana. I liked the way you 'show' rather than 'tell' with your dialogue, ("That didn't sound right, did it?") shows exactly what Anderson was really thinking and adds depth to his character.

Thank you for the encouraging review.
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Rather short this time. I would be happy to read another 300 words if more happens.
Since the Russians are trying to kill Shana (so it seems) can't some CIA-type group arrest them? Citizens aren't supposed to protect themselves from international thugs, are they?

The FBI is involved. Thank you for the kind review.
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
LOL!! That was a brilliant ending to this part, Barbara. This is a lovely chapter, my friend, and I for one have NO hang-ups about not having bad language and sex all over the place.
My sex scenes stop at the first button, and swear words are a no go in my books. Veronica says the odd 'bloody' but that's it. It isn't necessary to enjoy a book without them. The story is the main thing. As for how long it's taking, WHO CARES? I enjoy reading your books, and the longer it lasts the better I like it. Just ignore those idiots, and carry on the way you are. I don't read books on here that are littered with foul language, if that's what it takes to hold their readers attention, then fine. It just turns me off.
Big hugs, my friend! :)) Sandra xxx

Comment from Sasha
Thanks for the laugh at the end, it really was funny. I think you are doing a terrific job with this book. I don't think you are taking too long or have numerous spags. I am the queen of spags, you cannot take that title from me. I have not heard about and criticism of your work or the length of your posts. There are always critics so don't let them get to you. They are the same people that mute you if you dare point out an error. You shouldn't have to explain how hard you work or apologize for not writing a book in a month. As I said you are doing a great job with this book and don't let anyone say otherwise.

Do your best to ignore the negative. I get it all the time and just ignore them. One asked me how I got to be number 3 with the crap I post ( they didn't say crap but that's what they meant). My response was a simple,I guess I am just lucky.

Hello Barb,
I can recall when I first started reading your writings even if there was an error, I always knew you find your error, how else could your novels be published.
In this chapter it makes me that Shana is getting more confident with her self, thanks to Anderson. Gert

You are the author of the story and have total control of it. Sometimes, it doesn't pay to listen to others, the final decision is yours. This is a good storyline. Have faith in yourself. I am enjoying the story.

Comment from judiverse
I don't know how you put in the hours with school-related work that you do. No wonder you don't post but once a week. Maybe the Christmas and New Year's holidays will give you a chance to rest a bit. This was a smart move on Drew's part to involve Shana by having her do the decorating for the new house. She'll probably be good at the job. I think she'll appreciate being included. Good thing about the oil well fires--if they were indeed started by accident. The Russians apparently aren't done with Shana yet. Great work. judi

Well one person who appreciates you is me Barbara, my wife was a high school faculty head in her teaching career, and I attest to the hours you put into your teaching and commend you for it. Beautifully written dear friend, I love your series, it's very light and easy to read, and yet there are no blank spots, and it's not sloppy. Well done, blessings, Roy
Typo : Would (you) like to decorate this house.

Hi Barbara, we all need to get a few words off our chest now and then, and I do hope you feel better. So shana is busy with the new kitten making Drew feeling a bit ignored. Over the last many chapters I've noticed you use 'her/his eyes widened quite a lot, and 'his brow widened. I think there's a danger of you using it a bit too often. I hope you don't take offence me saying that. All the best. Ulla:)))

I don't take offense. I do take office when people attack me as a person. Thank you for the help. I will be more aware of it.

Well to be attacked as a person is just not on. I'm sorry that has happened to you. This site is about writing not a personal vendetta. :)))

Good chapter again. A great read throughout. Now some spags for ya. Must have been late at night when you did this I am guessing? "Would (you)like to decorate this house?"
