Nigel Gordon Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 What can one say about this story other than it is classic Cole Parker. A really interesting story, well told, which is enjoyable to read. Highly recommended. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Thanks, Gordon, and by the way, you posted here some time ago that you had several stories partly written. Some of us are still waiting anxiously. I love your writing! C Link to comment

Just written chapter 61, suspect I have ten more chapters to do, then the epilogue. Then it is down to re-writing and editing. Hope to get it finished this summer. Link to comment

Cole Parker Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 It's a valid point, though, even if funny. I'd guess many of us have had that experience, getting started and then both the story and the characters taking on a life of their own, and the need growing to go beyond the limits one had originally envisioned. I've turned many an expected 8,000 word short story into a 30,000 word novella. I'm sure Nigel and I aren't alone with this. Although, perhaps from short story to 71 chapters is taking things to extremes. C Link to comment
colinian Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 A short story! Grown up to be 61 and counting plus 10 more (and an epilogue). So, ONLY 10 more? Huh! Colin Link to comment

Rutabaga Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Always amusing to watch someone like Rod having a battle of wits with unarmed men. R Link to comment
