All Comments on 'Not the Woman he Knew'

Great short story. I've missed your contributions for over a year. I look forward to more from you (soon, I hope).

No sex...no problem. This is just plain good story telling. Thanks, and please keep it up, sooner rather than later. I gave you a 5, only because there's no 6.

you jump started your writing career again. Been waiting long enough. I have read all of your stories twice some more than that.loved them all.,674e

Loved your story. Hope more will come. Thanks.

Well done.

I'm a sucker for a good love story - and this is one of the best!

You have been off the radar for some time, although I did see you have something a year or so ago.

Jake Rivers is never seen anymore, TelephoneMan I believe has fallen ill, and the rest of the greats are seldom seen anymore. The Pacific Northwest welcomes you once again. I enjoyed the story very much.

Sincerely, Prof. Ramstein

Glad to see another delightful little romance from you. I hope to see more from you soon.

Welcome back, you have been missed. Keep up the good stories!

Over time, your stories have gotten less and less detailed, and more choppy. It's like reading an outline of what would be a really good story if fleshed out. Your plots are very good, but there are generally only one or two complete scenes in them, with the rest being hints at what the scene should actually be. In this one, the only really complete scene was the shootout, and even that could've been more detailed.

You are one of my favorite authors. Nice background.

Loved your writing style Dinsmore...had a warm endearing quality and a gentle rhythm that was a pleasure to read. Further, loved the economy of style. E. B. White would be proud!

I have enjoyed your storytelling for years. Delighted your back

A perfect simple ending to a delightful story!

Thank you!

Are ones I started years ago and could never finish. My editor died suddenly, other aspects of life became more important and sitting in a chair all day writing is not healthy.

I also lost a quarter of a million words in a backup crash---that will not happen again.

In any event, losing my beloved editor, losing all those partial stories, realizing that sitting was literally killing me and rescuing three special dogs...I'm not sure I've got the time or patience to live tied to a lap top again for months on end.

Thank you to those who have appreciated my efforts. For those who nit pick..fuck off.

Glad to hear you are still active with dog rescue.

Good little story.

Your work has moved and inspired me for years. Glad to see new material from you. This is another one of your great tales.

I had quit looking for new stuff from you. Thanks be to the muse, or whatever put the burr under your saddle (o butt?)!!

I could see it coming from their interaction when she was drunk at the party; but it was such a lovely heart-warming tale

Thx;

Interesting and entertaining. One of your better stories. Thanks.

But the complexity flowed pretty well - and the ending was where it should have been. The trip was fun too. It is fun getting to shoot a bad guy -

well done

thank you

Only problem I had with it, the ending was somewhat abrupt.

Easy quick read in concise understanding terms. Thank you.

I really like your stories. Thank you.

Real interesting story but a little more detail at the end would have been nice or maybe an Epilogue. Still, a 5 star read

Very crisp movement, giving the impression that the protagonist thinks and acts that way. Without saying it, the action tells the reader that this is an executive who is going far, can map out a plan easily, and gets results!

All of my stories have a basis in fact. There was a Kathy; we both smoked. I met her all those years later outside the office in the garden. She turned to look at me and she was stunning. She said: "I'm not the woman you once knew." I believe we could have been a great couple---but, I had already met the woman who would be my wife.
