Trial by Jury - Cole Parker

[Nigel Gordon]

I love this story, the way the scene is set up, the way it is told and the ending are all pure Cole. I always like his writing but in my opinion he is at his best in his short stories and this is one of the best he has written.

Beautifully written, Cole. Sincerely.

Its reminiscent of Jeffrey Archer's short fiction - by which I mean it's really good. And such a sweet ending, too!

[Bruin Fisher]

Lovely story, Cole. A very nicely crafted short, with a wonderfully satisfying story arc. Classic Cole!

[Cole Parker]

You guys are too much.  Thank you.  Thank you.  Thank you.

In the course of editing, I had to figure out how much three fingers of Macallan 86 was worth, so I searched for a bottle price on the internet.  Three fingers would be worth  about $4,000.

I always try for verisimilitude in my stories.

Does it not depend on the size of the fingers?

[Cole Parker]

I see your point.  Only go drinking with people with large hands when ordering whiskey.  I always learn so much from you Brits.

Yowsa! Maybe you picked the wrong Macallan, Cole. Three fingers of this one would buy you a new car!

I had to laugh at your notes about your editor's reactions to this story. Not quite the usual Cole Parker story we see here, but every bit as enjoyable. Well done.

[Cole Parker]

Thanks, everyone!  I think we all enjoy humor more than drama at this point in our history.
