All Comments on 'Finding Karen'

This is a good story even without the sex. Reminds me of Little House on the Prairie. The uncensored version. Happy Trails

I loved it from start till the end, as simple as that!

Really good! Deserves some award.

A warm and comforting Christmas tale.

it was a lovely story. Good luck in the contest..

I feel your story of the westward growth of our country adds to the poignancy of this romantic Christmas story.

Good entertainment and looking forward to more submissions from you.

Thank you

I really enjoyed your story. Thank you

when you write a story, you are telling a story. and when you just write: "arrows juts started coming from everywhere and soon everyone's dead",,, you are telling the story of a group of highly righteous, highly civilized people being massacred by a group of blood thirsty, scalping savages,,,,

for NO REASON, you basically say!

indeed, you, the author, even talked about the indians scalping people during this ficitonal story of yours.

IN FACT, history tells a very different picture: MOST indians were killed off, provoked and unprovoked, by white land grabbers. "a good indian is a dead indian" was the overwhelming belief, a true belief, in those early days.

this is supposed to be a "romance" story: Indians SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN portrayed as the scalping folks! they suffered MORE, disproportionately more, than whites during those days.

if you gonna talk about Indians scalping, you need to explain why they do it: whites have killed of, murdered, and pushed them to the very edge of existence, having confiscated ALL of their lands and having put them in the most inhospitable reservations,,,

be fair! people need to be better educated about history and who did what,,,,,,,,,,

or, stick to pure romance and NOT bring up complex issues youre not willing or able to explain within a few simple pages,,,,

Surely you can do better than that...well, maybe you can't. Try writing something REAL next time, instead of relying on tired stereotypes. The big, bad natives killed everyone, huh? The part you forgot is the backstory about how the natives were damn near exterminated, and a bounty was paid on NATIVE scalps by the oh-so-civilized white men. Puh-lease. Do some research.

Excellent use of dialogue to convey the period. A sexy Zane Grey, if you will. A great read. Good luck in the contest.

A great story. A great ending. A loving ending. Interesting timepiece, too.

Karen and Ken seemed to fit perfectly. I figured she would have to rape him to get him to admit his feelings. The really shy ones made it necessary. Women do find a way!

I notice some people will ripe about anything. Pick at a writing simply to push some agenda. Some people need to check their griping as those massacres DID happen and for no fault of the victims.

Again, a really good, enjoyable read!

Take the naysayers in stride. Ken and Karen are belieable and the setting is wonderful...Well done ..and...Thank you

Once I started reading the story I had to finish it. Fantastic, well told story, thank you.

Keep up the good work! I couldn't stop reading. Very tactfully done. I see the 'research' harpies are at it already. Screw 'em. A story is a story is a story and you can do whatever you like with it. What you did with it ws great!

It was a beautiful story, thank you, and good luck for the contest!

People amaze me. You give them a forum for critique and they abuse it. I read the story for the fun of it not to judge its historical accuracy. I felt that the details were enough to create the scene and the mood. The use of the murders was not belabored or harped on in a highly negative way. Her suffering was depicted in a way that now we would call post traumatic stess disorder. I found the story to be an engaging and fast read. Enjoyed it and will look for more. Thanks for writing.

A wonderfully romantic tale.

i really liked the emphasis on affection and caring.

I thoroughly enjoyed your story, Les. Well written and the romance was plausible.

For someone who only has one story submission, the one you started out with is a doozy. Very respectable writing.

lovely descriptions and flows beautifully. Who cares about historical accuracy when you have something as well wriiten as this?

I liked it very much a get away from the other types of stories.

Warm and believable,more than a touch of talent,got a nice feeling while reading.

Some folks try to express themselves with ever increasing aggrandizements, but sometimes you come across something that is so inherently right, that the very best thing you can say about it, is that it is good...

The romance filled; the sex was icing; the story... complete.

Thank you!

awwww, this is so sweet, i've got tears in my eyes. sniff sniff......

Thanks;

I didn't know what to expect as I started reading this tale. Was I pleasantly surprised.

I usually don't care for pioneer-type stories but did you change my mind. It was a well-written story about real Love. Two people that really, actually love one another. Well done and thank you for a very fine tale.

Perfection in the written word. Such a beautiful story about two wonderful people who needed each other to love. Simply one of the best stories I've ever read. This will go into my must reread often list. Thank you for the gift of it.

5 stars BTW loved the story. But chosen career would be interesting to study, but a severe drag to be associated with crazy people every day. Become an ER doc and have a family life instead...

The Indians would have raped her and taken her as a prize!

Pretty darn good story. I liked it. 5 stars worth. Thanks.

A greatn and outstanding story by obviously a very good author.

I liked the story but I never found out what Kenneth did to make an existence before Karen fell into his lap. Was he a rancher, farmer, trapper or what? That information would have been nice to know, but obviously not critical. The story was interesting while they were trying to find out Karen's history. Liked the ending, thanks

Nice story

Wonderful story!! 10 stars!
