All Comments on 'Closing the Circle'

and one that few people seem to care to try.

I liked the tenderness at the end- A top needn't be a top all the time, as Niamh may be learning.

I've tried to write about a similar session of delay, and it's difficult. I think you delineated the process very nicely, not too abruptly and not too clinically.

And the fantasy element wasn't the main point, either- you treat it as the environment these people have to dwell in, instead. Thank you for that!

It's truly a pleasure reading your stories. Thank you.

Normally when I have come across a dominatrix type woman, I run the other way. But I actually liked this story and the others in the series. I liked the tenderness in the story. I guess that in my ideal story of this type, she would be a little less motherly and a little more young and teasing. But I think I would like the mind that produced the story.

Wow - What a well-worded, engaging and transporting story. As Oliver Twist said: 'Please (Ms.), can I have some more...?' I read this story aloud to my wife - a rarity, as most of what I read would be a bit over-the-top for her - but, I knew that she'd enjoy it. She did, though, cry out incredulously at one point... At the end - "Wha...? You mean, that's IT?? No. Not happening. There HAS to be more!" I double-checked your submissions, and nope - that was, indeed, the third of three parts... (Isn't it??) Anyway, I believe that She, as myself, would've love to have experienced (this story was, after all, an *experience* - a transporting of the reader right into the roundhouse, to invisibly share the positive changes manifested in both Niamh and Barra) more - an outing, perhaps, where Niamh displays to Barra the defensive abilities of her powers, upon a band of accosting ruffians (after suitably warning them 'not to mess with Mother Nature' (Carbon-dated myself there, din't I?! hehe..

Anyway, wonderful writing. Please - More of these two?

tfb..

This trilogy has a new ending which will appear in a collection of short stories to be published hopefully next year. The characters, (known by their original names) also appear in a full length novel which is almost finished and which will then be searching for an agent.
