Great job. Let's all boost this one with our own marketing ahead of Christmas bounce

.

Are there any plans to get it formally reviewed? It'd be great if there were...

Good for you, Shelagh.

Jackie read my story in Forever Friends. She vaguely remembers it from more than 20 years ago when it first appeared in Mike Shayne Mystery Magazine. She said she's sorry she read it again because it's sad. I told her stories in mystery magazines are supposed to be sad. She didn't buy it. Guess she prefers happy murders. I'll keep that in mind.

Hi Dick,

I liked your story. But then, I do have a warped sense of humor. Please ask Jackie to read my story. If she doesn't like it, I will expect her to say so. How else will I ever improve?

You are in good company, Dick. My brother thought my story was corny -- but my mother liked it. She thought it was amusing. Ah well. you can't please them all.

Btw, my brother liked your story.

I liked both of your stories. They are different from each other and show a diversity of talent! Vive la Diference! (or however it is spelled!)

What a fantastic journey you've taken us on Shelagh! Thank you.

My brother is reading the anthology and is just over halfway through. This evening, on the phone, he told me that his favourite story so far is: Tigger -- My Buddy. He said he liked the description of the harum-scarum cat who had taken over the place and ruled the household. He also didn't predict the ending, which added to the enjoyment of the story. Well done, Abe!
