Though I came in the very end, I liked the writing style. I found the story line to be unique. The whole going through time, looking back at yourself, possibly your past actions changing future events. I enjoyed what I read.

Thank you so much for taking a look at this chapter. It was the final chapter of the whole three books and somehow, it all came together perfectly, lol! Goodness knows how. But I'm glad you enjoyed it, I've had some readers ask me to write another book and bring back Mildred and Veronica, I might one day, but not for a while. Thanks again, Veennee. :) Sandra xx

My pleasure, have you been writing long? What made you start writing?
Comment from Rachelle Allen
Oh, HAHAHAHAHA!! His deceased mother would be watching over him!! Love that British humour!! [See what I did there, Sandra; I used the UK spelling...]
You thought of EVERYTHING!! It ended with perfect sense and all nicely tied up with a beautiful ribbon. This was the BEST read!! I have to say this once again: NO WONDER IT WON B0M!!! It should have done so from beginning to end. I can't wait to see where this takes you. I hope the silver screen! It is SOO deserving!
Now I get to go back and read the other two!! xo

Yes, you clever girl, I don't know why we put all those extra letters in our English spellings, your's is so much simpler, and quite honestly, practical too. I must have been soooo clever to have learned English as a child! Well, you got to the end, my friend, and I can't thank you enough for all the lovely reviews you gave me. Thank you so very much. Biggest ever hugs. xxxxx

Hi Sandra. As you know I came into the story too late to be able to make any sense of it. However, I know you're an excellent writer and I can tell by reading a bit here and there that you're an expert at what you do. I wish you much luck with your book and congratulations on finishing it. Marilyn

Hi, Marilyn, thank you for the nice compliment! But an expert? I wish! lol, that was sweet of you. It was a monumental task that just evolved from a short story contest entry on here a few years ago, (which I won!) Now to do some poetry and a few more short stories for my grandson. I'll be back in your group soon. I missed those challenges. Thanks again, my friend. xx Sandra

You've certainly managed to tie up a few loose ends with this one. Not having read the entire trilogy, there have been a few missing links in my mind - now I understand the story much better. The place of the Powers That Be is clearer - and I applaud the way you have maintained a delicate balance between benevolent deities and ski-fi puppet masters. I'm delighted that my favourite character, Mildred, is so pivotal a heroine.
I shall miss my weekly dose of This Time - That Time. It has been such a refreshing read.

Bless your heart, Tony, thank you so much for another wonderful review and for giving me another of your precious six stars. I'm so pleased you enjoyed the ending. It brought all three books together and it had to make sense. Your review made my morning, my friend, thank you! More hugs! :)) Sandra xx
Comment from sandragee
This whole tale has kept me gobsmacked. I have truly enjoyed zigzagging through time with Veronica and Mildred, two funny and clever women. I love that Charles ended up in a psychiatric hospital, and that Gladys will be watching over him. All's well that ends well.
It has been a great journey, and I am sorry to see it end.

What a lovely review for my last chapter, Sandra, thank you so very much. The six stars are beautiful but it was your comments that really made my day begin on a high. Thank you for being with me on this journey, I've appreciated all your reviews. Big hugs, my friend. :) Sandra xx
Comment from Gail Denham
Oh my word. Did you or do you have nightmares of who and what? It's amazing that most folk can keep track of the characters in their stories - but here you are bringing them back and forth. Quite amazing.
Frankly I could not follow - but the characters were real in your story - very good.

Lol! No, not at all, Gail, these characters have been with me for the last 4+ years, and this was the very last chapter in the three novels. Somehow, it all fell into place when it came to the end. One of the followers on here liked Mildred so much she wrote a short story pretending to be her and posted it on FS. Such a huge compliment. Thank you for trying to sort it out, I can quite understand how hard that must have been. Thanks again! :)) Sandra xx
Comment from Pam (respa)
-All I can say about the ending is "WOW!" Sandra.
-How you put all of this together, I will never know.
-Mildred is definitely the star of this chapter,
which is very fitting and emotional, too, especially
after Ver.'s emotions in the previous chapter.
-Then there's the Powers-all this time they have
been working some kind of magic that didn't
make sense at times, but they sure did more
than we could have dreamed up.
-Mildred's story is touching and beautiful. She had
such a full life with Tommy and their children.
She certainly deserved that after you explain
what had happened to her parents.
-You weave the threads of previous
chapters very nicely into this one.
-It will be sad to leave some characters
behind, like Gladys and Tommy.
-I think ending with Tommy's
reference to his mother was fitting.
-Who knows what will come
of all of this, but I am speculating
that someone close to the
situation does, and will figure it out.
-I can't say enough good things about this
chapter, the book, and the trilogy, my friend.
-You should be very proud; enjoy every minute of it!

I was very emotional when I wrote, 'The End' it was the last chapter in the three books. But I was nowhere near as emotional as I was while reading your review. Pam, what can I say, I'm as stumped with you as I was with Robert. Your never ending support from the very first chapter has been incredible. Your help and suggestions in the way went about it has been just so heartwarming.
I'm over the moon that you liked this chapter, it was such an important one, and I wanted it to be special. Your approval means a lot to me, my friend. Thank you so much. Sending you a huge hug. Sandra xxxx
-
I imagine you were emotional. We are both wrecks over this!! Endings are fun and not fun.
I am glad you liked the review; it was a very special one and so different from what I usually do.
I think that since this was a culmination of such a big project, we are all over the moon with joy! You are very welcome for everything. Good luck with the book!

I know. Well, I'll be starting on Erics book again for a while. We are going to Spain in less than three weeks time, to help my cousin with her husband who has dementia. So sad, he's such a nice man. We'll be there for about 10 days. I'll log in though to check what you've been posting. xxx

Glad you will be able to start on Eric's stories again. I am sorry to hear about your cousin's husband. I know you and Graham will offer great support and comfort for them.

Hello Sandra.
Congratulations!!! on a perfect ending to a wonderful novel and a splendid trilogy. This must have been where the Beatles got the idea for their song, Here, There and Everywhere. That pretty much sums up Mildred. She's in the past, in the present and in the future.
Here, Veronica thought she was the main character, and it was Mildred all the TIME.
Isn't time a wonderful thing?
You've tied up all the strings and added a few bows, maybe even added a few wrinkles to time.
This was the best TIME we've had on fanstory for some TIME.
Time flies like a well written novel, on wings.
Wishing you much success!
Till next time...
Robert

What can I say? Robert, thank you so very much, you've been amazing supporting me all the way through the three books, even giving me ideas without realising it. Lol, you've even had me changing a road I was going along to use one of your comments that had a better route. The books evolved because of the friends like you taking me under your wings and telling me I could fly. You will always be a part of me through these books. Thank you. Sending a big hug my friend.

Comment from JDRBAR
So, it wasn't Veronica who got Mildred into time travel. It was Mildred who got Veronica into it.
Great twist.
I've done genealogy for over forty years, and it's amazing the things I've found out. I met Jan on the internet, a dog site, and we became friends.
During that dimal part of my past, she invited me to come stay with her awhile.
While with her, I was asked by her m-i-l to do their genealogy since I was doing my own already for many years. I spent years doing Myrtle's. I was also doing my grandson's at the same time (my son's now ex-wife wanted it). I became obsessed with it when I started running into identical names and ultimately discovered that my friend's m-i-l Myrtle, and my son's ex m-i-l were cousins.
Everyone was floored LOL
Let me know when your book is published so I can order a copy. GREAT JOB my friend.

That is an amazing story, Diane. I suppose it can happen a lot if you go back far enough. I'm sure I should be the reigning Queen of England, but it got hidden over the years!! LOL.
Thanks for the review, I'll definitely let you know when it's in print. Big hugs, my friend. :) Sandra xxx
