All Comments on 'Hero's Reward'

Loved it!

seemed so impressed. As happens on occasion, Kanga was right on! This was just a real nice story and I thank the author for his effort and the result. A very nice read!

how did I miss this one the other day?

A real oasis in a desert of mediocrity.

I loved your story so much!! Please continue to write! I'd love to see a chapter 2 of this story!!

Your writing never ceases to amaze me Des. You just keep getting better and better with each submission. I'm sorry if someone found spelling mistakes. I went through the entire story again as posted here and did not find one . . . shrugs. I used the spell/grammar check again. Did not find one . . . oh well. Perhaps he was drunk when he read it.

S-Dec:

But certainly close. Not too short so as to condense the story line and character build-up, and not so long that it got boring. I think, old son, you did it just exactly right. Thank you. Ronnie W.

Excellent plot, characters, and speed. Bravo.

and so well written and yes...so very believable. as a victim of cancer i have a small scar which seems huge to me across my nose...noone seems to notice it too much at all until i mention it but i did have some surgurys to help...and i never seem to lack for attention if i so desire and lol...sometimes if i don't and i am most certianly not drop dead gorgeous but clean up pretty good. Thank you for writing a lovely story about such a subject and its a great tribute to your compassion,huminity and just damn good skill as a writer. As always respectfully fan in Texas naynay

I have followed you since January watching the growth from one story interupted by another to the conclusion of each and now this effort.

Quite a wide and imaginative path in 3 months ascending in each effort.

Now is the time to settle in and take care of the niggling nits and nats by developing your discipline through patience, diligence and a personal standard of expectation.

Expectation of continual growth and quality of work. Why? Because your talent is significant and we would like to be entertained further in your growth and explorations if that is your intention.

You have a depth of clear explanation and a personal way of expression that can be easily related to. There is a strong touch of originality of thought and a comfortable personable way you convey it in a succinct manner. Brevity and clarity is not always easy in a short story nor are good closings.

There is credibility in the respect of your main characters that they and you display which causes interest and emotion. We know them and you by your depth of picture painting people, scenes and feelings. They feel real. Arousal is a by-product of your plot path not an immature or unnatural focus. It isn't forced but part of the flow.

Now the worst thing you can do is over analyze this and your work - as you do now, just feel good about what and where and how you lay out what you do. Your senses usually make it flow correctly and you feel it don't you. Try not to lose that or change too much - just polish the edges and use without rushing your people or yourself.

Deep huh. Well not really its just how it is seen and to credit you for your time and efforts. They are appreciated.

Thanks again - With Very High regard

Your best one yet, S-Des. Very romantic; very well written. An epilogue would be nice - she gets pregnant, they get married, she has twins, then match up Paige with somebody cool...

you sure, author? not even a mole anywhere? or more likely, a little bit of a crooked teeth, one eye set just sligtly her than the other? okay, maybe not the eye but how about her left eye brow? isn't it a bit higher-set than her right one? no smelly athletic foot problem? or perhaps a few pounds by her mid section? one breast a bit bigger than the other?

just because we are telling a "romance" story, doesn't it mean the characters we create are no longer like human beings?

it makes me laugh --- though I'm sure in real life people are actually THAT stupid --- to read about women are willing to be picked up by strangers, sometimes many, and they just start kissing, sucking, and swallowing the strange men's saliva, semen, and all kinds of germs in liquid/fluids without EVER complaining about bad breath, bad order, etc.!! boggles my little mind

S-Des, you have once again hit a home run. This story, following up on "After the Fact", clearly establishes you as a writer who has arrived.

Excellent character development along with an absorbing plot and an appropriate ending make this an excellent story. Some work on typos and grammer, but that is a minor quibble.

Great Job! Cheers!

This story was too good to worry about typos. In fact I didn't notice any, which was how wrapped up in the story I got.

If this wasn't your best effort, I would love to see what is.

Magnificent - one of the best stories of this type that I have ever read.

That was exactly what this category is meant to be. Very well done!

Great story!

Boyd

Please keep writing all these wonderful stories of yours!

What else could be said but Thank you very much

With the highest of regards

What more can I say. Beautiful, outstanding. Thank you, thank you.

Well written, I enjoyed it very much!

Great story, well told. The action and reactions were credible all through. One thing I hated but you only did it once. DICK! What a horrible word to use!

I loved the ebb and flow of the tension. With a terrific ending. Wonderful characters.

One of the best stories I've read. It's so romantic but not mushy, just perfect!

Thanks for some perfect excapism,
