What a nice juicy part of a story. Murder, ghosts and women's suffrage movement in a couple of pages. The characters and scene are well described. An aging aunt who is not ready to quit. A threatening villain, her nephew no less. And, the ghost of the victim. Well done.

Hello, Henry, thank you so much for reading this part I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. This story does have quite a lot in it, two time-travellers and, who have been in all three books. Thanks again, it is nice to meet you! :) Sandra xx

What a nice chapter. Good job I did not see anything that needs correcting. Your now writing book 3? Amazing... I am struggling to try to finish book one...

Thank you so much, Randa, for coming along to read this part. I really appreciate that. This trilogy began as a short story but my reviewers kept on to me to keep the first one going and it took on a life of its own. lol. I owe it all to the Fanstorians, they have been so encouraging. You'll get yours done, just keep at it. Thanks again. :)) Sandra xx

Hello Sandra,
Amelia showed her true meddle in this chapter, standing up to the V P
like a born leader.
Excellent use of the idea of seeing a ghost suggesting the possible instability
of each as they spar with one another.
Charles plays the role of the arrogant unflappable upper class snob very well
and Amelia withstands his verbal assault with flying colors.

Now, to serious business. Mildred and Tommy? Oh Lordy. Wait till the powers hear about this! Rhett and Scarlett may have shook the foundations of Tara, but Tommy and Mildred will shake the foundation of the Universe.

Of course, maybe Mildred told him the truth. That'll shake a few powers, itself.

We'll see what happens Next Time (There's the title for your sequel)

Rhett and Scarlett! LOL, I loved that film. I can't see Mildred being a Scarlett somehow, but you never know about these things. I've only just learnt from Pam, that Scarlett was originally going to be called 'Pancy' That is so funny. The Powers already know about this, and they aren't happy, but again, they are waiting to see what happens. Part 38. Would Mildred tell Tommy the truth? Hmm.

Thank you so much for another lovely review, Robert, and also, thank you for the help with this book's title, I'm really pleased with it. As for that title 'See what happens next time'. lol. I have an itch in my brain that keeps bringing up another series. But with a 20year old Ann who talks to ghosts. It would have to be so different to work or it could end up going in the same way other famous sequels have gone. (like the second Gone with the Wind, with new actors, that didn't go down well.) Sending a big hug for the 6 stars, my friend. Thank you so much! :)) Sandra xx

I've been away and missed an episode so I need to go back and catch up. I did enjoy this.

I have a few suggestions if that's okay:

"Oh, Lordy, Amelia, I've been waitin' t' find out if he'd done somethin' t' you. What happened. Was it bad?" - question mark after 'happened'

She glanced over at Mildred, who I could see was sending out a warning signal. - I might have put commas after 'who' and 'see'

I did observe a little gleam in Amelia's eyes, though, and didn't need ten guesses to know what was going on in her mind. - delete comma after 'eyes'

There was no way I could relieve her distress. I knew, deep inside, that it will be hard for Mildred, too. - I'm not sure but maybe 'it would be hard' rather than 'will be hard'

Thanks for an interesting read. Cheers. Judy

What can I say, Judy? You have done a lot of reading today, thank you so very much. And you've also taken so much time to point out to offer suggestions which I most certainly will be sorting as soon as I've finished replying to all your reviews. Thank you again, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx

I love the cover, and I'm so impressed that you've done a trilogy. (I also love the bulldog on the right--so adorable.] I did notice a few little things you might want to correct:

the old adage, if looks could kill,
Suggest set off adage in quote marks

would have sent a lesser person to their grave.
Pronouns not compatible
Suggest: would have sent a lesser person to his grave.

but she still remained poised and unflustered.
Suggest: omit "still"

not only will you be the laughing stock of London, no one would ever
believe you
Suggest: no one will ever believe you ["will" and "would" not compatible]

Neither will they condemn me for having you restrained and put into a
secure nursing home.
Suggest continuing to match pronouns: Neither will anyone condemn me

"I would be pleased, very pleased
Suggest comma after second "pleased"

Thank you so very much for this really helpful review, Shaffer40, I've been through and made the corrections. The trilogy began as a short story that grew! lol. I've left it open to start another series with Veronica's daughter who is only ten years old but can talk to ghosts. I'm thinking of going forward another 10 years so she is able to help them. It's just a thought at the moment. Thank you again, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

reply by shaffer40 on 30-Apr-2019

You're welcome. You're also quite creative. I have a couple short stories that are growing; my problem is finishing.

reply by the author on 30-Apr-2019

It does take will-power and determination. And it depends on how much time you have. Not only in working hours, but life, as well! I wanted to write a book before I kicked the bucket, now I almost have 3. I'm quite proud of myself, regardless if they are best sellers or only family best sellers. :)) Get them done, it's a thrill to hold them in your hand. xx

reply by shaffer40 on 30-Apr-2019

I did write one book--an account of an unsolved 1957 Chicago murder of two young girls, but it wasn't as creative as my fiction writings, which are shorter. I've also written a romantic novella, which is collecting dust. Haven't gotten it published yet.

What a horrible man this Charles is, he accuses his aunt of insanity to cover his guilt.

Writing her own letter is very clever of Amelia... just in case.

The last sentence is a great cliffhanger.

Thanks for sharing.

Yes, he's not nice at all. But, although he thinks otherwise, there are four women who are now on his trail and won't be stopped until he is. Thank you so much, Maria, for another lovely review. :)) Sandra xx

I love the new book cover, Sandra. You did a great job with this chapter. I enjoyed reading it. I really like how Amelia stood out in this chapter. I laughed with the part of them making Charles believe he was seeing things move. Wow, he is one hateful person. Good job nd thanks for sharing. Jan

Thank you, Jan, I'm glad you like the cover. I was stuck for a title, and Pam and Robert came up with this one which I thought covered it perfectly. :))

Poor Mildred, she's there helping others but can't seem to have a life of her own. We'll see what happened out on her walk with Tommy, soon. Charles Manson!!!! LOL! Yes, you could pair them together, lol! We'll be keeping an eye on our Charles, don't you fret, he's really going to hate his late wife more than he did when she was alive! Thank you so very much for this lovely review, Linda, and all those shiny stars! Love you loads, my dear friend. :)) Sandra xxxx

I don't know what going on with these people who make these false limbs, Ian was supposed to have his new feet 6 weeks ago, and they still get the fitting wrong. So, it's no surprise to hear John is having problems with his new legs. I'm sure they'd get them right if you were rich enough and famous!! I hope John is still keeping his spirits up, I do have problems with Ian sometimes when he wants to give up. If it was just his feet, but he has so many other problems that never seen to get better. We don't realise what is going on inside their heads. Thank you for being the caring lady you are, John is a lucky man to have you there for him.
How are you now? You always worry about others and I never hear about you. How is the lump on your arm doing? Is it still painful? Has it been sorted yet? Let me know. Lots of love, dear! xxx

reply by l.raven on 30-Apr-2019

nothing worse than a angry dead wife...I'll have to keep that in mind for my ex...

that is just awful for Ian...my heart goes out to him...and you are so right...if they were rich...things would be different...John also has a lot of other things going against him...he is often depressed...he is still having pain one one side sense they removed the cancer from his lung....I feel so bad he has such a bad time walking in the false legs he has...they weight about 15-20 pounds a piece...and when they don't fit right...it is so hard to walk...I hope and pray he and Ian's will fit right soon...Ian just gets his...tell him not to get down...it may take some time to get used to them...John was in therapy a long time with his...

the lump (clot) is gone now...but the vain they had the IV in is flatten down....and doesn't stick out like it used to...but not to worry...I have a lot more of them...you know what they say about God...when one door closes...He will open another...so look on the bright side...when one vain collapses...another one opens...hmmmmm...maybe...allllll my to you both... much love you...big smiles back at you...and you are always soooo welcome...xxoo Linda

This is a very well written and entertaining chapter. I hope that Charles pays for his crime and that Amelia stays safe from Charles. He is a very dangerous man who isn't above violence.
