All Comments on 'Becoming Veronica'

Although the story was good, it was slow starting out. I loved your series with Genevieve and was starting to get into one of your other stories. I do hope you continue them.

Sorry, I couldn't get past the beginning. A Catholic priest giving Communion to the laity under both species (both the wine and the bread) in the 1920s? Inconceivable. Using grape juice instead of wine? Equally so. There was an explicit exemption in the National Prohibition Act for the sacramental use of wine in Communion.

I can see you were setting up the history of Veronica with more chapters in mind. I know there were dispensations set up for communal wine during prohibition....but many communities put enough pressure on the local churches to convince some of them to switch to grape juice, so that part is historically feasible. Churches needed community support to survive. I'd love to read more about Veronica.... especially the inevitable encounter with Patrick O'Malley. Perhaps she'd enjoy a little summerwine. A very hot story, indeed!

This first chapter in this story is carefully crafted, with a slow build up, excellent, plot, and good character development. The love scene, while regrettable too brief, provides a fitting conclusion. Great storytelling by a great writer.
