Love it, thankyou

Reviewer: Meoley Myles (Anonymous) · Date: April 17, 2014 07:57 PM · On: Chapter 12: The Purchase

I love this story. I like history too. Can you write more QAF fanfiction history novel please?



Author's Response:

Thank you very much Meoley for your comment. I haven't written fan fiction is quite a while but I'll certainly consider it. Glad you enjoyed yourself.

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: March 16, 2013 12:19 PM · On: Chapter 12: The Purchase

I can't believe I missed this final chapter!  Guess I was too busy working on a story myself,  but that's no excuse.  Love how Brian's education is put to good use and they are now worth mega money.  And from the look of it will be worth much more in the future.   Looking forward to your next historical piece.  Novel length sounds just right.



Author's Response:

No excuse necessary - this was a fun piece to create as it shows how people in the past are in many ways just like us. Thank you YumYumPM for reading and commenting.

Reviewer: Tagsit (Anonymous) · Date: February 04, 2013 09:48 PM · On: Chapter 12: The Purchase

Finally got a chance to read this one. I did enjoy the historical nature of the story. I love reading historical fiction myself, but I'm too lazy to write anything like that - it would take so much reasearch. This was a nice little piece that was fun and easy to read. Thanks for writing. TAG



Author's Response:

I'm sorry for the late response. This one got past me. Believe me, writing something easy and simple is anything but easy and simple. Thank you for commenting. I might do one later if health permits; a story based in the Early American period of Virginia - 1600-1700s. I traced my father's line back that far.

Reviewer: snow (Signed) · Date: January 24, 2013 02:16 AM · On: Chapter 12: The Purchase

This was a wonderful story. I had somehow missed your final chapter..what a great surprise to find it when I was scrolling down the "Most Recent" page.

Author's Response:

Thank you Julieta for your kind comment. I wasn't expecting much response since this was an experimental piece for English beginners written in an 6-8th grade level not counting the occassional slang!

Reviewer: Bigdogz09 (Signed) · Date: January 14, 2013 10:46 PM · On: Chapter 12: The Purchase

Glad to catch up to this, time to read has become quite a luxury.  I love the happy ending and I do enjoy that it was a period piece. 

Thanks for sharing this.

All the best,

Laura 



Author's Response:

I'm so sorry for being late responding to your comment. RL and a bad cold has dominated my last two weeks terribly. I barely felt like logging in to give new smiley faces to new stories and rarely checked for reviews since they are rare. You're counted for another period piece if I get over this funk and get in the mood to make it happen. Here in Texas we call a cold/flu the crud and rate them like a tornado; this one was an F5 butt kicker that won't let me go.

Thanks so much for commenting.

Reviewer: Cheryl (Anonymous) · Date: January 13, 2013 11:47 PM · On: Chapter 12: The Purchase

Great story!  I love period pieces and would love to read your family history piece.

Looking forward to reading more, very soon!



Author's Response:

Instead of typing on the fly I will outline the new novel to completion with hopefully a better ending than I'm known for creating. Thanks Cheryl for the comment.

Reviewer: pacagirl (Signed) · Date: January 13, 2013 04:46 PM · On: Chapter 12: The Purchase

When did Amber become Molly?
Thank you for this story

Author's Response:

I goofed and typed Molly. Thanks for pointing this out to me. My pleasure giving you this story too.

«love at first bite» :)

hehehehehehehe

Reviewer: pacagirl (Signed) · Date: January 13, 2013 03:53 PM · On: Chapter 2: The Bobbie

The last line is hard.
Great chapter, thanks.

Author's Response:

I dated a doctor in my youth and trust me; t hey have a very warped sense of gallows humor about life. Paramedics are equally nuts too. Thank you so much for all these great review comments that made my day.

Reviewer: pacagirl (Signed) · Date: January 13, 2013 03:47 PM · On: Chapter 1: London

I don't know why but I wanted to read your story in a row, did not want to wait for update. So I was happy to see, this morning, that it was completed.
This first chapter is promising.
Thank you.

Author's Response:

I really like how this chapter turned out. I was smoking the good stuff when I wrote this one.

Reviewer: meme$veryrich (Anonymous) · Date: January 13, 2013 12:03 PM · On: Chapter 12: The Purchase

love it.



Author's Response:

Well thank you! meme

Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: January 13, 2013 10:44 AM · On: Chapter 12: The Purchase

Interesting period piece, Bob!  I do like seeing them in another era and being transported back into time.  Thanks for writing this one!  *Hugs* ~Kim



Author's Response:

Thank you for reading and commenting love. I wish I could sit and write more and read more but I have to take off more pounds t o get to that point with my health soon.  I got behind reading your stories and many others.

Reviewer: meme$veryrich (Anonymous) · Date: January 09, 2013 03:36 AM · On: Chapter 11: The Sting

one word MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE



Author's Response:

hehehehehehehe

thank you for commenting - ending soon

Reviewer: Bigdogz09 (Signed) · Date: January 07, 2013 09:01 PM · On: Chapter 10: The Plan

Wow - Rosenberg is quite the nutcase.  I hope Brian hasn't bitten off more than he can chew. 

Looking forward to reading more. 

All the best,

Laura



Author's Response:

I knew better than  to use the name of the true creators of "The Bank of England" (Rothschild) since they are wealthy enough to squash me like a tiny bug! Besides they are very good people too. Thanks for these wonderful comments Laura. You made my day.

Reviewer: Bigdogz09 (Signed) · Date: January 07, 2013 08:39 PM · On: Chapter 3: The Ward

I lost track of this story and so glad to see it and read it.  So intense.  Very delicate subject matter, racial hatred, but you are handling it very well. 

All the best,

Laura



Author's Response:

This is a person interest plot since I study Hebrew for a hobby and will soon attend a class in it. It may be the first Jewish Justin I'm aware of too. Thank you Laura.

Reviewer: Bryton4ever71 (Signed) · Date: January 07, 2013 07:19 AM · On: Chapter 10: The Plan

need longer chapters...otherwise, I'm quite taken in by this otherwise good story

 



Author's Response:

It's a novelette. They are suppose to be short and an easy read. Image a novel published in a newspaper. Long chapters would not be allowed. And it's far more challenging to write a few words to tell a story, than to write a lot more.

Thank you again for the comment.

Reviewer: Bryton4ever71 (Signed) · Date: January 07, 2013 04:23 AM · On: Chapter 1: London

it s ok so far...reads  a bit like a prologue  but good



Author's Response:

It's going to be simple English, newspaper 6-8 grade level for non English readers learning English. We have a lot of English beginners reading here. Thank you for commenting Jon.

Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: December 31, 2012 02:15 AM · On: Chapter 9: William Jon Rosenberg

Oooh, this is not good.  I can't imagine the stigma being gay back in this time period would have entailed.  I do like being able to go back into time to try and relive that moment with the details you are putting into your story.  The angst is quickly ramping up here!  Looking forward to the rest of this, Bob.  *Hugs*  ~Kim



Author's Response:

I can remember being gay in California was dangerous in the 1970s much less 1887 London. Only  recently has it been this accepting for us. Rosenberg makes the perfect enemy: rich, powerful, ruthless, determined. Brian and Justin are in for some real danger soon. Love you for commenting. ~bob

Theres a catch isn't there? lol ~ Yvonne xx

It was the real deal. Straight to the point I am.

This is incredible JT!! ~ Yvonne xx



Author's Response:

I'm so glad you like it - now let me kick my muse in the rear in for more.....

Reviewer: yvonnereid (Signed) · Date: December 30, 2012 12:05 AM · On: Chapter 2: The Bobbie

This is brilliant JT! I love it alot ~ Yvonne xx



Author's Response:

Thank you; it's fun to be writing again.

Reviewer: yvonnereid (Signed) · Date: December 30, 2012 12:00 AM · On: Chapter 1: London

Im hooked already JT!! ~ Yvonne xx



Author's Response:

Gathering sympathy for the main character has that effect :) Thank you Yvonne.

Reviewer: no sleep (Signed) · Date: December 29, 2012 12:21 AM · On: Chapter 5: First Contact

I thought Brian had dreamed the sex sequence.

The robbers weren't too bright, LOL.

Author's Response:

Justin gets very horny on opium :) Most crooks are pretty dumb.

Reviewer: no sleep (Signed) · Date: December 29, 2012 12:17 AM · On: Chapter 4: Amber

"Somebody knew his mother's Jewish to commit this crime."

Interesting. I never thought of that.

Author's Response:

Spoiler alert!

That's an important statement further on in the story. Justin's Jew problems are not over with.

Thank you so very much for commenting.

Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: December 25, 2012 08:42 PM · On: Chapter 7: Bank of Taylor

Hi, Bob!  Interesting tale you're weaving here.  I'm enjoying the historical details in the story; I think that helps to take us back in time to another age.  I'm wondering if somewhere down the line their seemingly idylic life together is going to be marred somehow, but perhaps that's just me since I always have to throw some angst into my own stories;)  You've already promised they're going to stay off the Titanic, so I know they won't drown at least - ha!

Looking forward to how this plays out.  *Hugs*  ~Kim



Author's Response:

I love researching the period too. This is a fun one to write. Conflict? I guess this is the calm before the storm so to speak. I'm moving forward the time line, and thinking what can happen when money can cure most anything short of kidnapping and we already did that. However, a conflict and resolution is almost required in a story. IS there a wealthy violinist named Ethan destined for our tale? hehehe Just kidding.

Thank you very much for commenting Kimberly

Reviewer: meme$veryrich (Anonymous) · Date: December 24, 2012 03:53 AM · On: Chapter 5: First Contact

Like alway JT, you get to the point. This is very good



Author's Response:

One could say the same about another JT :)

Thank you meme.

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: December 24, 2012 01:19 AM · On: Chapter 5: First Contact

Now that the robbers and murders have been caught and hopefully hanged, there is nothing to keep Justin and his sister from going to New York - except for Brian.  I'm sure it was no hardship for Justin to have to bunk in with Brian. lol. 



Author's Response:

I didn't want to spend a lot of time finding Amber, and spend more time on the developing relationship between our boys in that period. It's almost adventure time for them.

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: December 24, 2012 01:12 AM · On: Chapter 4: Amber

At least one of the kidnappers seems understanding.  Poor Amber, chained to a bed!  Some people like that ;)   With Bobbie Brian McKinney on the job I'm sure that any clues will get proper attention.  We have choices here, will Justin want to move to his home in Dover or will he accept Jennifer's offer to stay in her home outside of London?  Only future chapters will tell.  I wish I had a country place.



Author's Response:

And I'm not so sure Justin wants to get stuck with his little sister either. He's too sexual for that situation to go down that way. It's safe to say he wants to sell the family business however. Thank you for commenting.

Reviewer: no sleep (Anonymous) · Date: December 22, 2012 06:58 PM · On: Chapter 3: The Ward

He's an orphan but a very rich one. I can see Juston staying in London. Pethaps he has no one he knows in New York.



Author's Response:

I sensed being an artsy type, money doesn't matter much to him either. Maybe he will check out New York without moving there too. What a pleasant surprise to wake up today to find your comments. Thank you very much for doing this for me. They are the wind beneath my wings.

Reviewer: no sleep (Anonymous) · Date: December 22, 2012 06:51 PM · On: Chapter 2: The Bobbie

I love this. You put a different spin on things with Justin's mother having a different name and being a Jew.



Author's Response:

I think the canon has been done every way to Sunday and we need to mix up things a bit. Thank you.

Reviewer: no sleep (Anonymous) · Date: December 22, 2012 06:47 PM · On: Chapter 1: London

You drew me in from the very beginning and it being a period story was icing on the cake.



Author's Response:

That's a very high compliment no sleep. With my mania I should be called no sleep!

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: December 22, 2012 08:42 AM · On: Chapter 3: The Ward

Rare is it that a bobbie's mother would see to a funeral of people she did not know, I would think.  Jennifer is truly compassionate.  Me thinks there was a hint of where this story goes in the lawyer's final words.  I'm interested in seeing how you manage this move.   More please.



Author's Response:

People do get involved where children are harmed and alone.Very perceptive of you to my love. Thank you for commenting and more soon to be posted.

Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: December 21, 2012 06:52 PM · On: Chapter 3: The Ward

Well, things are moving right along here!  I have just one bit of advice for Justin - I know it's a few decades off, but knowing how affluent he is and what they are advising him, I just have to say it:  Stay off the Titanic!! 

There...I feel better now.  Where was I?  Oh, yeah!  Looks like Justin will be getting quite a bit closer to his handsome protector here.:)  Looking forward to the rest of your story, Bob, and learning more about where Amber has gone.  *Hugs*  ~Kim



Author's Response:

Please forgive the late reply. I'm on a strong pain pill and sleep a lot lately. The good news is I don't hurt but I'm dopey as all get out. Tramadol. I promise no Titanic. And yes this is a gay love story but it might take a bit to get there. Love you and thank you for the chapter comments - more than words can say.                                

Reviewer: BRIAN (Anonymous) · Date: December 21, 2012 10:52 AM · On: Chapter 1: London

HEY MAN!  I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER ME FROM REVIEWING YOUR OTHER STORIES?  I AM TRULY SURPRISED TO SEE YOU WRITING AGAIN.  I THOUGHT YOU HAD GIVEN MW WRITING UP.  GUESS IT IS STILL IN YOUR BEING SOMEWHERE.  GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK AND YES I LIKE THIS STORY A LOT.  C YA MAN!



Author's Response:

Yes Brian I do  remember you and thank you for commenting here too. I  had given up  writing due to some health issues, but I'm getting better and this story has been in my head for a few months now just wanting to get out. Glad you're enjoying this story and it should be updated on a regular basis.

Reviewer: Bigdogz09 (Signed) · Date: December 21, 2012 07:39 AM · On: Chapter 2: The Bobbie

Wow, intense and very intriguing.  I love period pieces and looking forward to seeing this develop.

All the best,

Author's Response:

Hey beautiful, good to hear from you. do hope to move this one along quickly for my readers. know how much I appreciate your comment Laura. Thank you.

Reviewer: Rickeshay (Signed) · Date: December 21, 2012 07:03 AM · On: Chapter 2: The Bobbie

Many years ago(when I was in High School) I was in a symphonic band that toured Europe for a few weeks. Our Hotel in London happened to be in Earl's Court.(vbg) We were told that it was the second worst part of London at that time.(g)

Changing the names kind of defeats the purpose of fan fiction doesn't it?(g) It will be interesting to see where it goes.

Author's Response:

I too stayed in a gay hotel in Earl's Court and loved it there. It's the reason I mention it in the story. Honestly I don't know the history of London that well. In fan fiction an alternate universe can change anything from canon.  And I'm working on creating my own characters - a necessary leap from fan faction to fiction. Thank you for commenting Rickeshay very much. (vbg - b)

Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: December 21, 2012 06:49 AM · On: Chapter 2: The Bobbie

One sexy policeman to the rescue!  I always love the idea of Brian carrying Justin in his arms, whether it's due to injury or just because.:)  And I'm glad to realize that Jennifer wasn't the one murdered; interesting idea having her be Brian's mother. 

So the attraction - and the intrigue and mystery - begins.  Looking forward to the rest of this, my friend.  *Hugs*  ~Kim



Author's Response:

Since soneone put Jennifer in the banner I could not hardly kill her off in the second chapter now could I ? :)  We need a woman's touch to balance the fire between our two young men. I've started the third chapter with the funeral in it; since I'm on my back pain meds tonight, I may not finish it being all dopey. Love you and a big hug back from  ~me

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: December 21, 2012 03:12 AM · On: Chapter 2: The Bobbie

I take it dying from an infection is not in the cards-:0)  The Taylor clan is losing memebers bit by bit.   Sad that it's a descrimination of religion that is the cause.  Things haven't really changed that much.  Wonder where Amber is?  Need more chapters to solve this mystery and I'll take them any way I can get them.   Long, short, fast or slow.  Just keep them coming.

 



Author's Response:

Spoiler Alert.

Notice a mother named Carol died. Brian's mother, Jennifer, Is still very much alive. I changed some characters around for a new effect. And yes, the infection will pass. Love you for commenting.

This is very intriguing... and quite obviously - different. I can't wait to see how you *flesh* this one out. *Grins* Looking forward to more! *Hugss*



Author's Response:

I think my prior work was hiding the lack of writing talent behind smut. I hope this one is a higher quality thus the R rating this time without graphic details. Still there will be loving going on for sure. Thank you very much for commenting. You know how it motivates us.

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: December 20, 2012 04:33 AM · On: Chapter 1: London

Wow!  This premise is pretty different from anything I could have imagined.  I have tons of questions that I am sure will be answered in future chapters.  Hope your gerbil is up for the task.  Whens the next chapter?



Author's Response:

I started the next chapter and I'll be working on it tonight. Glad you like it and let me know you're reading YumYumPM. Thank you.

I appreciate your comment meme.

Yes, I love period pieces.  Keep on writing. 

I look forward to reading more and soon.

Interesting premise! I look forward to reading more from you :)

Author's Response:

Thank you Snow. It has been awhile since I  tried to write - try being the right word here!

Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: December 19, 2012 06:56 PM · On: Chapter 1: London

Well, THIS was a surprise to see a new story from you.  How wonderful!  As for your question, yes, I really like period stories.:)  And I like all the little details you've woven in here.  I have faith that you will take care of our little, injured blond at some point - right?  Right?  Oh, well - wherever you're going with this, I'll be looking forward to seeing how you hash this out.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim



Author's Response:

Thanks Kim. Spoiler Alert!

Justin gets rescued in the next chapter by a Bobbie with the face of God.

Oh no, not liking what's coming. Finally Jus has a loving, supporting family, is he gonna loose them? Noooooooo..... eagerly waiting for the next chapter :) Great start n really like the time period

~Love & Kisses~



Author's Response:

If Charles Dickens was writing this it would take 6 chapters to find out what happened to Oliver, or is it Justin? :) hehehe

No, I'm going to move along very quickly here - with shorter chapters too and hopefully gain all the comments my self esteem can gain.

And I can't leave my favorite blond hurting very long. Thank you very much for commenting and being my first one too, sarafanjum.
