That would encompass both the ending lines about time travel revisiting places on trips with your husband , and traveling in the present through books. . Good effort.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Marcia<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Calling 911<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>There is a typo in the way the police officer<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> addressed you. You spelled the word ma’am<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> (mamm). I remembered you had thought of writing an autobiography of raising your younger <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>daughter, but worried about how she would react if you<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> did. This looks like the beginning of such a book. It is hard to raise a difficult child without second guessing whether you did things wrong or if someone wiser would have done a better job. No manual comes with a new baby. If that child also exhibits behaviors that embarrass us or make us wonder if we have the talents necessary to cope with that child, it can take a lot of time working through our emotions. I think the piece was well written. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Leonard,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The Long Bike Challenge<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I think you did an excellent description of the ride, my only question was why would you choose to travel by bicycle from one side of the mountain to the other. I think I remember you riding through a thunder storm over this same ground.If the point of this piece is to make me feel tired and ready to get off that bike, you succeeded! The only bike I have ever ridden was a tandem. My husband and I bought a used single speed one that was a bear to get up hills. Later, we bought a ten-speed on and that was better. You certainly evoked the struggle of trying to get up the grade and the difficulty of slowing on a steep slope. Once the grade was less steep, you also caught the exhileration of riding down a gentler decline. Good work. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cleora,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Book Review of “Winds of Wrath,”<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I am not sure of the template for a book review, but logically I suspect that the information should be arranged a bit differently.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I would think the number of pages should be followed by all of the print versions beginning with the hard cover, ISBN for that version, and all of the other print on paper options with prices.

You should go down one line after the list and begin the body of your review <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I got a bit confused about the forward thinking it was from an actual person until I read that he was an officer of the fictional boat. Perhaps you should state that he is a fictional character when you give his credentials. To me, The most important thing is a description of the book itself. Then if I like the sound of it, I can read the information about where to get it.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>DQN <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>DeAnna Quietwater Noriega<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cell: 573-544-3511<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Email: <a href="mailto:dqnoriega@gmail.com"><span style='color:#0563C1'>dqnoriega@gmail.com</span></a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Author of <i>Fifty Years of Walking with Friends<o:p></o:p></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i>https://www.dldbooks.com/dqnoriega/</i><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
