Re:
Thank you, I appreciate that compliment! Some where in the pile of words I've left laying around this place, I've explained that my Grandfather and Father were all monster story tellers. My grandfather could tell a story so well that while you absolutely knew was it was fake, you'd want to believe it. He taught me about 'story arcs' and how to use them to your best advantage.
Every story needs to have small up and down moments, all leading to one big up to finish the story. I read Chesapeake by Michener (about 850 pages) and the first part of it was sleep inducing as he built the story. After he got you into the swing of things, it was a fantastic book, but a lot of people won't wait 100 pages for it to begin to 'get good.'

You just have a great knack for setting up the scenes!
