• I will see what I can pull together for you woman. (((Deb))) I'm sorry this has been such an incredibly rough- well several months now- for you. (NT) -- celtgirl, 08:11:00 01/22/08 Tue
  • Sorry I didn't mention this but, I loved the excerpt below. Mwahh! (NT) -- LadyDuBois, 12:30:53 01/22/08 Tue

• Okay Deb, here you go, I don't think you've seen this before>>> -- celtgirl, 13:33:39 01/22/08 Tue
  • Just so you all know, this isn't the promised second half of the piece below. That one should be done in the next few days though, I hope. Anyway hope you all enjoy it, regardless. :) (NT) -- celtgirl, 13:34:42 01/22/08 Tue
  • Well and that's a fine place to leave us hanging, Ms. Brandner. I swear, every muscle in my body is now tensed up on Jamie's behalf. Just out of curiosity, what's the purpose of putting the linseed oil in the water? (NT) -- Carla, 18:05:53 01/22/08 Tue
    • It's supposed to 'calm the waters' and help the boat maintain its uprightness. Hence the term we have 'oiling the waters' when we want to smooth something over. (NT) -- celtgirl, 20:17:57 01/22/08 Tue
  • OMG! Jamie, stay safe! Don't you dare take him, too! Thanks, CG! Beautifully written! (NT) -- LadyDuBois, 04:07:18 01/23/08 Wed
    • I'm starting to think I might have to rename this book 'The Perils of Jamie' if the boy doesn't stop getting into so much trouble. (NT) -- celtgirl, 12:22:31 01/24/08 Thu
  • I am very grateful for Jamie's instincts. A wonderful piece, Cindy, thank you. (NT) -- Elaine, 06:16:16 01/23/08 Wed
  • ACK!! How can you leave us hangin' like that? *g* I am always amazed at the situations this man gets into or has been in - Thank you for feeding our need for more while we wait for Angels :-) (NT) -- Marilyn, 07:13:36 01/23/08 Wed
  • I could feel the roll of the ship, and the ice-cold spray. Amazing writing, Cindy!!!!!!! (NT) -- PeggyB, 14:02:16 01/23/08 Wed
  • Trouble seems to find that boyo! Cindy, do you know that much about sailing or did your have to do major research to write that piece? So very exciting (bloody terrifying really), but since I'm not a sailor, the terminology and techniques were new to me. I've always thought it was 'lead balloon' but who knows where I got that idea from. Excellent stuff! (NT) -- Denise, 14:31:35 01/23/08 Wed
    • I had to do a LOT of research. 'Sailing for Dummies' and I went around glued together for a bit. :) Also I sort of 'drew' the situation on paper, put it on the floor and moved Jamie through the events. (NT) -- celtgirl, 21:54:49 01/23/08 Wed
      • That's amazing! Have you shown the piece to a sailor to make sure you got it all right? It's so complicated that I'd want to double check the facts. (NT) -- Denise, 10:02:40 01/24/08 Thu
        • That's the sort of thing I don't do until the book is finished, otherwise it can really monkey with the process and it's distracting. So once the whole book is done I start looking at what needs a check over and find someone with expertise in that area then. (NT) -- celtgirl, 11:44:09 01/24/08 Thu
          • That makes total sense! Go with the flow while the stream of thought is running forward. (NT) -- Denise, 12:10:09 01/24/08 Thu
  • Goodness gracious, where's the Dramamine! A stunning snippet, Cindy. (NT) -- Sallie (), 18:16:02 01/23/08 Wed

• You know Cindy, recently I have realized that I need your writing. Thanks. (NT) -- Tracy, 07:32:24 01/24/08 Thu
  • Oh Tracy I love that you feel that strongly about it- that's very special to me. (NT) -- celtgirl, 11:42:31 01/24/08 Thu
