Hi!
Loved it! Jax Franklin is one of my best friends, on and off the site. She is deserving of this poem and you did a marvelous job! On my behalf, thank you for honoring our good friend and author.
You summed up this series real nicely in this poem ... great stuff!
Jax and I know each other from a different writing site and have been friends ever since. We exchange emails and occasionally talk on the phone. Shew's a great lasy and this is great poem!
Best to you. I hope 2015 is your best year ever!

Thank you so much Alan,
Yes, she is a great author. I would love to see her make a min-series for TV, or a movie. Her stories top many of the movies of today. Full of action, adventure, true love and decency, with a villain thrown in here and there.
You are fortunate to call her friend,
:-) Carolyn

Hi Carolyn,
You are welcome. And yes, I am privileged to count her among my frtiends. And I agree, TV series on ABC's family line-up would be a terrific marriage of author and viewer.
Wishing you well ...
Alan

Hi Carolyn,
This is another wonderfully written poem. I thought when I started reading it that you were the writer of the book. I didn't realize that Jax was writing it. I suppose she's written quite a few chapters already. It does sound really interesting. I was wondering why you titled it Zip-a-Lock. I've never heard that before. I've only heard Zip-a-Lip. Ha-ha

Hi Kat,
She tells me that in her replies to my reviews of the book. In other words she will not tell me more.... I guess like Ziploc bags...not letting anything out. She is a hoot. You would enjoy the stories. She is writing the third in the series at this time. I have loved all of them.

I might have to check them out. Are they very long?

Absolutely love well crafted piece you have delivered your viewers my friend and the artwork Is divine. I have read some of Jax's work but need to sit down on my day off and take the time to enjoy it.
God bless!

I have thoroughly enjoyed each book in the series. When they are published I will have them in my library. Glad you have read some of her work. I am looking forward to her reply. LOL
Thanks for the review Steve.

Comment from Michaelk
I'm right there with you. I've been reading since the Zach and Lacy story. The funny thing is Jax will give you a few clues, just enough to tantalize before the ziploc comes out. She posts often enough that it's not that much of a wait between chapters.
Nice poem, I love the subject matter. I think it's cool to dedicate your writing to how you feel about someone else's writing. That shows how much you really love it.

Hi there,
She reminds me of another author.... his 'Alice' and her shenanigans kept me on edge... LOL.. You may know him....
Yes ,she is incredible. I love her work and happy you are enjoying it too. Thank you for this great review.

Alice? I'm not sure I know this person, but she sounds like someone who has a lot of secrets. :)

I see who you are now, You are a tease. :-) One who whets our appetites then pulls the plate away. I am having to wait until after my eye surgery to get to reading your works. I read the poems quite well, but following a long line of print is hard. Blessings, Patricia

notesandmore, What a great tribute to Jax's Allister series. I've read all of Jax's work and it's superb. Lone Walker is my favorite character. I can see her works as a mini series on TV. You did a wonderful job here. Judy

I would hope for her that a mini-series would happen. Glad to find another reader. As you probably caught from the picture, I love Lone Walker too. Sigh.... Thanks for your comments Judy.

You definitely have me intrigued to check out this novel by Jax Franklin and I'm sure she's happy that you're promoting it. LOL. Well written poem allowing the reader to understand that sometimes it's more fun to know what happens first, although it eliminates the element of surprise. Thank you for sharing.
