Hello everyone,

Chapter 50. Missing

http://louisev.livejournal.com/15191.html

A chapter with a memorable last line:

“Shit, boy, that was great,” Colson said, reaching for the box of cigars that lay on the coffee table.

“Good movie, wasn’t it?” Ellery replied.


Enjoy!

gee I guess I finally timed things correctly!

Please feel free to post feedback, however, you may notice that in this particular area of the story, very little has changed outside of copyediting.
“Mr. Coyote always gets me good, boy,”  Ellery said, winking.  “Almost forgot what life was like before I got me my own personal coyote.”

As long as you keep writing and editing, the timing can never be incorrect.   :)

Interesting reading this knownig that Colson has a legbone growing in his ear even as they speak  :-\ - but I kind of like the way they are grumbling at each other.  It shows a degree of familiarity and comfort.

Thanks,
Marie
