How old is a teenage warlock?<br /><br />I do agree motivation and logic (even if warped or skewed) makes the difference between an OK book and a great one.Laura S Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09812735660993028271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135368746376329105.post-89384544209937545212016-10-20T11:10:57.395-07:002016-10-20T11:10:57.395-07:00Thanks, Sarah.

I must admit it took me a while to decide on the mechanics of my particular version of time travel but it turns out, without giving away too much, that it wasn't as random as Billy thought. It's fun playing with a paradox.Gerald Costlowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09629993135051504254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135368746376329105.post-8977557785801767182016-10-20T09:33:15.621-07:002016-10-20T09:33:15.621-07:00Gerald, I so agree with you about the motivation b...Gerald, I so agree with you about the motivation behind a time travel story. There has to be a purpose, a genuine reason why this character MUST go into the past or nothing in the story has any meaning for me.<br />Yes, love is what makes a story fulfilling and memorable whether it's romantic love, love of a friend, family member, or children, or the love of country, the story takes on a deeper meaning to us human beings when the lead characters care beyond measure about someone or something.<br />I like the title of your story in the anthology and the lovely excerpt of the amorous hero, Bill. <br />I wish you great success with this wonderful fall anthology.Sarah J.
