All Comments on 'Into the Quetico'

Enjoyed your story very much. Brought back memories of my canoe trip into the park back in the early 70s. Great story development but needs a good editor & proofreader to clean it up for you. Lots of grammatical & punctuation errors but otherwise readable. Keep 'em coming.

CONGRATULATIONS. Your story is one of the best I've read on this site. I agree with the previous comments about using an editor to make it even more enjoyable. Wrong word choices and misspelling take the reader out of the fictive dream. Also using stomach when you mean belly or laid when you mean lay, makes this reader stop. STILL QUITE DELIGHTFUL. THANK YOU

Great story marred by serious orthographical mistakes, e.g., "threw" instead of "through".

My son never understood why I loved that park, until he went. Only then did he understand and love it as much as I did. Next time, take Makers Mark in a wine skin. No bottles and no cup needed. Oh yes, good story. Survival is real. Women are good too.

Yes I have several times. Been to where Makers Mark is made as well. Much of this is actual Insight for the story. I agree that people don't understand until they have been there. Thanks. Dean

What a wonderful story. I loved the build-up prior every sex scene in this tale.

I hope you'll write a sequel soon.

Cheers!

You readers do amaze me at times. You asked about a Sequel to this and I started working on it last night. Dont know when it will be out but I hope it is soon. I work over 70 hours a week so writing has to take a back seat some days in favor of mowing the yard and other bothersome stuff.

Just wanted to say that the sequel to Into the Quetico. Titled. Return to the Quetico was finished last week. I have 5 other stories just waiting for editors to do there thing. Just need more editors at the present time. If you are one I can use the help. pdeanmurphy@gmail.com. thanks

I have spent many vacations in Quetico and in the boundary waters north of Ely, Mn. You brought back many happy memories. Still have a sweatshirt some where with an embroidered mosquito that says "Minnesota state bird". I have a very good bear story, but that is for another time. Thanks!

I read your sequels before seeing the beginning part both great can't wait til your other stories.

Thanks Roger

Well done!

very well written and a joy to read.

I enjoyed this but I kept being knocked out of the narrative by the main character's attitude towards women. He explicitly keeps saying no strings attached but then is frustrated women in the past took him at his word. Then the woman has the same underlying attitude that the expectation for all male / female relationship is a quid pro quo. It's just a turn off. A little editing to let them just view each other as human would improve it immensely. I loved the description of the setting and I'd love to read more.

Mmm...very very nice.

Enjoyed the characters, dialogue...and especially his slow and easy way to bring her around to trying quite new things...

tho you could use an editor-the syntax was quite jumbled at times.

5 and fave, and was quite pleased to see there's a follow-up rated even higher, and a couple of Similar Stories whose titles look promising.

This was a fine read indeed, went down like a smooth whiskey. Thanks for sharing...!
