If you were in Ian’s shoes, would you reach for your

    Thank you, Cai

    I have done one or two reviews of the writings of others. always found it difficult as I would be concerned with ‘doing it correctly’.
    If I had only read this, your review of the Case of the Missing Starr, my efforts would have quite different. Hint: it would have been fun and enjoyable, not a chore to endure.

    This was fun to read and I’m glad you enjoyed the story.
    (loved the suggested sculpture)

    and…and! yours is the first Review I’ve gotten for any of my efforts to write a novel. so, at the risk of repeating myownself thank you.

    I’ve still a long way more to go. I’ve put on my thinking cap to consider changing the “literary device”. If there is something new to see, the link will be posted in the next TToT.
