Good day, good story. Congrats.
Thanks, Bill.
A lot about the "Esther Meaney" story effectively evoked things in my past. Also, I was in suspense to the end.
This story worked for me.
Thanks, Joe. Nice of you to read it.
The kids dad reminded me of my fathers father. Although we had "babysitters" none of them were as flashy as Esther! Loved the story.
Thank you so much, Mark. I didn't have a father like this one but I sure had friends that did.
Congrats, Patti! Looking forward to reading it.
I'll check it out.
Thanks for the kind words.
It's a great story. The work of a professional.
