Good story. Good writing. Needs a quick read through by a good editor to eliminate typos that look like they were created by autocorrect and predictive text conspiring together.
Well written. I'm looking forward to reading the final chapter where all the villains get their comeuppance.
This is good but, could have been better. Typos abounded, you need to edit it. In appreciation I'll give you 4 shining stars and 4 bottles of Shiner's worst beer. Do better and you get a better brew.
Some of this is very real to me, only because I grew up around places where this could be a true story. It hits most of the really bad things in small town Texas and beyond, except for throwing in a healthy dose of nepotism into the law enforcement, legal system, and business communities in such places. Loving the story with just an occasional tear.
Only criticism is that the “villains” are only conceptual. They haven’t been made real (yet?)
Engaging story and I love the nod to sooo many Texas landmarks. Lived there many moons ago. Sure do miss the Salt Lick.
Continuing to enjoy - thank you.
It's got a lot of flavor, in many areas, without being over the top.
dammit - where's my hot sauce?
Another great chapter! Looking forward to the final part and the conclusion to this excellent story.
Little too deep into the music side (I think I said the same about Chapter 1), but you do a great job bringing out the emotions of your characters. At the end of this chapter, you finally brought the underlying story of Will back to the forefront. You mention divorce decree but I'm not sure we ever knew how/when he was served. Is he divorced at this point? His increasing wealth and relationship with Lila could be a problem, if not. What's the investigators find? Lots of runway left in this story - great work! 5*
‘The final chapter will be released a week after this is published.’
This is not a good idea and unfair to the readers.
They want to be able to finish the arc and remember the characters. You are competing with a hundred stories between now and then.
Take it for what it is worth
Can hardly wait for the next part and eager to see what happens to the villains you have a great story here keep on writing
Damn. And maybe don’t leave Lina out in the cold. Seems like she loves them both. Three can be a pretty good number.
Nicely done! Karma is coming to Cowtown and I can't wait for the finally
Thanks for writing
Well done. There are a LOT of us out there that have been SCREWED by our EX with the help of the courts. Justice may be blind but it is also dumb and won't learn. Women got screwed in divorces during the 50's and 60's (my mom was one). So now the courts are bending over backwards to try to even things out. The bad part is now the men can do no right in the courts eyes. MY ex got everything EVERYTHING (I only got to keep my clothes). On top of that she denied me access to my daughter every summer, birthday, Christmas, Etc, etc...
Born in Texas, I grew up some there. Back then the national image of Texans was big hearted, generous, and friendly (to white folks, of course). Now it is one of small minded, avaricious, and hateful. When reality sucks, hopeless fantasies such as this one become significant. It is entirely possible that the only justice offered to Texans next week will be in the conclusion to this story.
Ok, I don't often get antsy about the next installment in series like this, but I'm hooked on this one.
@lujon2019:
Because that's what the author wants to do...you know, the AUTHOR?
.
It's nice to be able to impart some knowledge every once in a while.
*3!!!!!!! But only because there was no "Loving Wives" attributes found i n the story!!!!!!! Very well written and a few tears were shed by this commentator!!!!!! But again, there is nothing in this story that reflects the definition nor the intent of the "Loving Wives" category!!!! "Loving Wives - Married extra-marital fun: swinging, sharing & more." is the actual definition for the "Loving Wives" category!!!!!! There was no "sharing" of a "loving wife" by a "loving husband" with others!!!!!! There was no "swinging" by a "loving couple" with other like minded people!!!! There was no "Married Extramarital Fun" in this story!!!!!! Just a sad story about a self-entitled, selfish, despicable bitch for an ex-wife, in-laws, and small town officials ruled by the mighty dollar!!!!!!! Although this writer wishes to see the conclusion of this story, it should not be placed in the "Loving Wives" category!!!!!!! This is not a "Loving Wives" story!!!!! This was never a "Loving Wives" story!!!!! And unless the MC's become swingers, it will, most likely never be a "Loving Wives" story!!!!!! Just because a story is about a "wife" or "ex-wife", the story must carry some semblance to the intent and the definition of the category!!!!!! Again, a well written story but just posted in the WRONG FUCKING CATEGORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT A "LOVING WIVES" STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Somehow I missed the first chapter and had to backtrack. Let's say I wasn't disappointed. Great story and creative fantasy. Well told and well written thank you.
Cheers

Excellent! Damn, I can hardly wait for the next part. Thanks Texican1830. Very well done! 5 BIG ASS FUCKING FLAMING NOVA STARS!
Why wait a week to publish? Very good story so far. Not sure the revenge can be enough though...
I find this story to be the best of your work, so far. The plot is very believable, and the actions/reactions of the characters is consistently plausible. Unlike most critics, I take into account that you take your own time and energy and put it into writing stories that you are freely giving away. I do not expect professional editing and am fully capable of realizing context, despite spelling or punctuation errors.
I gave it 5* and eagerly await the next chapter.
Thank you for the effort.
Boring, and ridiculous. Like anyone really cares what a guiltless whore he married, or her privileged family connections. Guess you have to be a real music fan to appreciate all the music. I'm not, but thanks for the effort.
Great story. I agree that there are some typos but WTF. it was a fantastic read. 5stars. Looking forward to yhe last chapter
A great, engaging story. A proofreader is needed to fix the minor errors Despite this complaint, I loved the story and made it a favorite. 5 stars !!
Geeze i really am enjoying this story. Cant wait for the next part. It was enjoyed n appreciated.
Down, Dirty and Personal. Like life itself. Nice to read about those in power having their actions looked at. Our writer obviously knows his music background and gives we readers a sense of “ behind the scenes”. Certainly a 5* from this reader. Thank You!
Sorry about the delay. Got one of those diagnoses that require “further testing” and subsequent meetings with other specialists. Hope I’ll be home for awhile soon so I can edit the next chapter and post it.
Texican
Hokay, so one week from pub date was Nov 3 - how comes it's Nov 7 and we still don't got no chapter 3?
Hope all is well with you and the further testing ends up to be nothing! With that said I am hooked on this well written story! Can't wait for your next part to be posted...
About: "Got one of those diagnoses that require “further testing” and subsequent meetings with other specialists."
Just a little advice: try first naturopath doctors, natural therapies, chelant remedies, selected natural plant based food, herbal tea detox remedies.
Hippocrates, the "Father of Medicine" said: ""Let food be your medicine, and medicine be your food"
Monday and Friday I meet with doctors to determine treatment. Hopefully I’ll be able to edit midweek, but no promises. Real life doesn’t seem to approve of my plans.
About doctors treatments, a good read:
- Maria Treben "Health Through God's Pharmacy"
- Maria Treben "Health from God's Garden"
on Amazon
About possible therapies, another interesting reading:
- "The China study" by Colin Campbell, on Amazon
- and the associated documentary "A delicate balance"
Waiting patiently; understand life doesn't always unfold as desired. Trust your situation is successfully resolved soon and we find out how Cowtown deals with decades of deferred Karma...
This is why I avoid multi part stories when they come out. I was suckered because the first part was titled like a standalone. Then I read that parts would be published after each week. Still not terrible. But now I am hanging on. Never again.i even had to read part two again so I wouldn't forget what the hell happened. Never again
You promised us the next installment within one week of posting this and it's now been over a month. to quote an author by name: FINISH THE DAMN STORY!
Yeah Will is fucking useless sorry I don't care what happens to him. Typical ignorant Hick this author just loves picking on but stupid people aren't interesting.
Come on folks, give the author a break. He posted 19 days ago in the comments that he has a medical issue he is working through. He will finish the story when he feels up to it.
Fantastic story! But I'm disappointed that the next chapters hasn't been released after 5 weeks. Hope it will be coming soon!
"The final chapter will be released a week after this is published." - Except that it was over a month and a half. At WORST, as soon as a chapter is posted, the next chapter should be submitted.
