My Don had a few women going at once in 2050 but the circumstances...<BR/><BR/>For an outside viewer, he might have looked like a womanizer. But when you get into why he was with these women, you find that it's not as simple as that (OTHER than when he was making a little money on the side from certain prominent female members of Pleasantview society- but I'm not going to go into that just yet). He realized that rich women found him handsome and coarse and weirdly attractive in his coarseness but he wasn't hung up in any of that. There was only one woman in the world as far as he was concerned. And she's currently drugged up on barbiturates.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697841178807127327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-66691858993198585732009-03-02T21:53:00.000-05:002009-03-02T21:53:00.000-05:00And the mysteries keep on growing ... keep it comi...And the mysteries keep on growing ... keep it coming ... I'm still totally behind but I'm getting there ... <BR/><BR/>Hmmm, so Don was faithful to Dina in your story? She was his the ONE? (I'm trying not to make gagging sounds here - lol - in my hood, Don is too wrapped up in his studliness to have a ONE. And Dina is far from a high caste person. ha ha)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-65010385798937261222009-01-08T19:03:00.000-05:002009-01-08T19:03:00.000-05:00hehe Yeah, I have a 7 chapter/month goal that must...hehe Yeah, I have a 7 chapter/month goal that must be upheld!Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697841178807127327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-75288488260934777272009-01-08T18:19:00.000-05:002009-01-08T18:19:00.000-05:00Things are starting to get mega-creepy here.

In this chapter we don't actually see the moment where he had warned her that he would probably come back all dead and ghostly. <BR/><BR/>When he came back to her in present day looking beat-up it was to remind her of that night in order to help her to put a few pieces together about what was coming in the future. <BR/><BR/>In another words, Dina is now constantly looking over her shoulder, just waiting for unresolved business to blow up- Business that she still doesn't fully understand.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697841178807127327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-35248955884889426972008-11-29T15:57:00.000-05:002008-11-29T15:57:00.000-05:00Woah!

And I felt like I could just run with that since the story takes place in a time/location that never existed.<BR/><BR/>And oh yeah. Mortimer knew quite a bit more about Kvornan than Elise currently does. As Dina happens to mention in Chapter 19, Mortimer was pretty close to the Tricou family.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697841178807127327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-48765805562917486482008-10-25T15:54:00.000-04:002008-10-25T15:54:00.000-04:00So Mortimer knew something about Elise's Kvornan.....So Mortimer knew something about Elise's Kvornan... wow, this story has some great drama!

And there are still a lot of loose ends after reading this chapter. But that's a lot of what this story is about- Unravelling the mysteries of the past. *cue lighting bolt and eerie theme music* <BR/><BR/>And read the prologue too! I know it's dense but there's so much information there. And I know that last sentence was redundant but... Ok, I don't have a justification for that. :DPenelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697841178807127327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-39075143053244204502008-10-25T14:41:00.000-04:002008-10-25T14:41:00.000-04:00Man, your killing me!

Which means I have to go back and read chapters 1-23 because I have SOO many questions!
