I didn't much care for K I m b e r l y until you killed her and everyone around her in a blast. The book felt too short to get to know her and your story world, so the ending was too abrupt and final. Kind of like the opposite of deux ex machina. Hence my delight when she showed up at J e n n a's hanging chopping heads. I thought you had resurrected her. Sometimes you just need the hero to kick ass and win.

I didn't really feel much tension throughout Anver's story, except for the feud with Alina and the events that followed it. I asked Amy many times in the first half when the real story would begin.

Jaylene reminds me of Joseph. Neither has any interesting flaws. Maybe she's not completely healed when she's brought back to life. Then give her whatever flaws you want. Maybe her time back in this world is limited and she knows it. It would strike me as odd that the lead character's POV isn't included in the story. It would be an interesting read either way.

The West Wing was supposed to focus on the White House staff, with only limited appearances by Martin Sheen. I think it would have been a much weaker show without the brilliant, temperamental, disease-hiding Jed at its core. https://www.buzzfeed.com/robinedds/let- … .cjQxQN5P5

If I didn't have 2-3 books in mind for my story, I'd whack Joseph at the end of book one. In the first draft, he was the only MC and he was always meant to take that flying leap. Billie's evil ghost will hopefully make him more interesting this time around. Book two will expand to three POVs (including Caligula's). Don't ask me how yet. I just decided that as I wrote this. One less book to write before I drop dead. :-)

OIC. Thanks.

Amy, I received a full review from you yesterday, includng closing comments. I still need to respond to it.

Turns out TNBW can host the images directly. I gave up on it though. The table format doesn't look good. I was trying to include a timestamp on each post in the Royals forum.

Where did you host them from and how did you link them into your chapters?

I wish I was in Dixie...

Is there a way to imbed Word tables (or images of the tables) within my chapters online? Tom Oldman mentioned that he hosts the images elsewhere and then links to them, but I think he was referring to images in thread posts. Have any of you done it? Embedding a table would be ideal, since that's probably what I'll use for the layout within the book. Images will do as a fallback. It's for a collection of fictional forum posts. I want them to look more structured than is otherwise possible with regular text formatting.

Thanks
Dirk

Do any of your books ever explain what happened at Earthwound? I don't remember reading anything about it. Earthwound figures prominently in these books, but not the explanation. Or does it come later?

Neither. My phone's Swype software offered up brule, so i went with it. Pardon me for not crawling out of bed, powering up my computer to use my French-English keyboard, and googling the correct spelling to play a fun word game with people, most of whom I know well enough to know they would never be offended by a typo.

Aren't you a pleasant little fellow....

Thank you, Gacela. It needs tweaking as suggested by graymartin, but I'm very pressed for space in that chapter (20 pages!), and it is a battle scene, so telling seems reasonable. However, I thought the description of the colonel's actions was showing, which is why I was scratching my head when I was told it was telling.
