Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hello Sandra, what an amazing ending - how well you did with the storyline. I had to read slowly as I was bewildered like those in the story. Very well written and it must have taken an awful lot of working out - and Mildred's accent - not easy to maintain and keep it up throughout the book. I don't know how much time you have spent on your PC - I dread to think. Clever girl and the best of luck - Love Dorothy xxx
ps - You apologize for the length of this chapter. In fact on reading it did not seem long at all! LOL!

Thank you so much, Dorothy. What a lovely review. I'm so pleased you didn't think it was too long. I'm now doing my editing, which has been going on all the way through with outside readers, and I'm formatting it onto the template as each chapter is completed. Remember those fun days??? LOL. Thank you for the six stars, my friend, I really appreciate them and your kind comments. Big hugs. Sandra xxx
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
The six stars if for the whole trilogy...what a monumental task, trying to keep all the many pieces working smoothly together. My only complaint is that this final chapter was too much "telling" with every detail explained. I'd suggest cutting in in half, at least, and giving only the barest necessary explanation. Leave it to readers to fill in gaps, or not. You really don't want to end such a rich series with one character explaining the story to the reader. It would help if you made that part an epilogue, after a dramatic ending, where more telling is allowed.

Thank you so much for this, Phyllis, I see what you mean and will do that. I had planned on having the details in the prologue so reading your review has confirmed that I should have stuck with my first plan.
Thank you so much for the six stars, my friend, and for being so supportive throughout the series. You've been great. Big hugs, :)) Sandra xxx

That's a great idea! Yes, begin with how it all ended, and THEN offer the story of how it came to be. That's one thing a prologue is good for. I've never used one, since many writers think they have to have one, and it serves no purpose in most stories. But your story is so long, it's not like you'd be giving anything away. In fact, hearing Mildred tell what happened to her would only start readers salivating to hear MORE!
You not only start with a novel, but a full trilogy! I know you're not my child, but I am verrry proud of you anyway. :)

Aw, thank you, Phyllis. My one regret is that my parents aren't here. I know they would be. My mum didn't read much, but she always encouraged me to write, I take my love of books from my dad. Thanks my friend, you have no idea what your words mean to me. Love you loads. xxxx

Comment from SLMorrical
An interesting ending to the story. A very interesting way to wrap everything up. I think it is kind a neat that Mildred is actually James' great-great grandmother. The powers to be do work in mysterious ways. I would guess they knew that Mildred had to stay with Tommy in order for James to exist. Another reason why time travel just gets me. You don't know what has happened has happened because the future is the present. Any way, a great job. Well done.

Thanks for sharing this interesting final chapter with us. I bet you'll be missing your characters.
Have you decided what you are going to write next?

Thank you so much for reading this last chapter, Maria, I will, miss them, but I'm going to start writing my grandson's stories again. The last one was, Eric and the Aliens. Now I'll be writing Eric and the Pharaohs, followed my Eric and the Indians. Hope to get them finished by Christmas, or at least two of them. He's 11years old and dyslexic, but beginning to find the letters. Big hugs my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Thank you so very much for this fabulous review and the six stars, my friend. Is there more? I've left it so there could be, but not for a while, I have a few other stories for my grandson to write. They are only small books, so won't take long in the writing. Thanks again, for all the support you have given me in this book, I've really appreciated every one of your reviews. Big hugs, my friend. :) Sandra xx

You are very welcome. I'm sure your grandson will be thrilled with whatever you decide to write for him! : )
Comment from Roxanna Andrews
What an ending. So Veronica was helping Mildred all along. Now she is a many times great grandmother. Well done and I'm sorry to see it end. It was a fun read. I hope you do really well in publishing it. Rox

You did a great job, Sandra, with this final chapter. I enjoyed reading it. I can see, though, where you may take a lead from it to begin another series.
I need a 'family tree' to sort out ot the great, great great and all. I think I got it. That newspaper headline on the computer was super! What a way to end this trilogy. Thanks for sharing your great talent. Best wishes with publishing your book. Jan

Thank you so much, Jan, for this lovely review of my final chapter. Yes, you noticed that little hint that they might come back for some more adventures, but it would be a little different next time. I'm going to write a few short stories for my grandson again, and some poetry. I'm so pleased you enjoyed ending, my friend, thank you for all your support and encouragement. It really did mean a lot to me. Big hugs. :)) Sandra xx

Wow, Sandra, this was absolutely amazing. I really enjoyed the twists and turns that the trilogy took, but this last chapter was truly the icing on the delicious cake. It was well done, easy to read and follow. You did a fantastic job, my friend. Hugs and smiles.

What a lovely review, Alie, thank you so very much. I'm delighted you enjoyed this book and especially the ending. That had to work to end it in the right way as it's so easy to ruin a book if the ending falls flat. Big hugs, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx

You are most welcome Sandra, a job well done and very much enjoyed, hugs and smiles.
Comment from nancy_e_davis
What a wonderful ending for this book Sandra. Wow, that took some deep thinking and sorting things out to come up with such a great ending. Now you have a wonderful Trilogy here. Will there be another time travel book? We certainly hope so. Well done my clever friend. I wish I could give you more stars, but alas that is not to be. Bravo! Nancy:)
