(Sorry, Mark, getting caught up.) I like the alternating chapter threads idea. It’s a common enough story-telling device that readers won’t get confused.

No worries about keeping up. I have posted all the chapters I had already written except one, so it will slow down now. 😂.

I did a little bit of parallel storylines in the first novel with the Britpop nemesis storyline. I like telling the stories in the right time frame, so it is a necessity. Thanks.

For we all meet our Maker eventually. I don't believe you need the word "For" -a smile lit up her face. You don't need the word "up" - One thing I am noticing, are you intentionally using so many names that start with "M" for a reason? Just curious.

I think the Captain would say it that way. I have always heard the expression as "A smile lit up her face." Maybe it's a midwest US thing. No reason for using so names that start with any letter. I usually just google popular French, or Italian, or whatever names and pick one. 🙂 After consideration, I have decided to change CPB's sister's name to Brigitte. Lafayette's wife was named Marie. Too many similar names.

I love the name Brigitte! Very French! Pronounced Bridge-eet.

Which rhymes with sweet. And it doesn't start with M. 😉
