The tone of your writing never fails to bring about a quality or a setting that it is vintage, and I really love that. It makes me feel the same way as when I read an Agatha Christie novel or something like that. This was an especially great piece, because there were odd moments of humor, but there was also that one moment of contemplation about what’s really scary about death. I loved it!

Thank you so much! :)

You're the second person to tell me in the last couple of weeks that my style seems vintage. It's very interesting, considering that I set things in the present day. I wonder if it's because most of the books I read are old? In any case, I'm very happy to be able to capture that style!

Thank you again!

I really enjoyed reading this (despite the fact I don't know anything about Rockford Files). However, I feel like you do such a great job capturing the characters that I already know who they are. I was really scared when I thought Ginger was actually dead! I was practically holding by breath when Lou raced through the streets trying to find Ginger's body. The way you captured the fear of death was wonderful.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much! :) They only appear in one episode, as the bad guys trying to get the Borland Diamond, but I have this habit of latching onto oneshot characters and lovingly writing about them and fleshing them out.

I'm very happy I was able to write in a way to make you care about the characters!

Unfamiliar with the show but this was still great. Great style and good writing, even to someone not familiar with them.

Thank you so much! :) I'm very happy you enjoyed.

(They're only in one episode, so familiarity with the show might not even necessarily help in being familiar with them. If you get MeTV, I think the episode with them will be on soon.)
