Wow! I like how you've changed the format of your series. The short blurb for each chapter is a fantastic idea. Good thinking, '99!

Can't believe to my delighted surprise, when I managed some time to check on your updates, that you have posted a whole lot more chapters for your readers. *takes out a couple of wine glasses and pours in some lovely sparkling shiraz for the author and myself to say, "Thanks!"

Chai latte - latte is an italian milky coffee that comprises of one third espresso and two thirds of hot and slightly frothy milk. It's not a cappucino. Chai is an indian spiced tea,sweetened with cinnamon stick. We combine the spice of chai into the latte hence chai latte. =) I love vanilla chai latte. Highly recommended.

Back on track with your series, just a query. Two of your chapters were mainly in bold font and I think one of term is in italics as well. Not sure if it's meant to be formatted that way.

I was so on edge about Liz meeting her AU mum and shep's family. I love the interactions and family tensions between shep and his bro. Very believable. Well done!

I am so looking forward to more. I totally get it if you are stalling a chapter a week, though it is a torture for some of your readers, namely me. =) Looking forward to more installments.

Author's Response: Woohoo! Alcohol! Thanks for clearing up the 'Chai Latte' thing, I'll give that a go. I'm glad you like the new format, I've just double-checked all the chapters, and no, they're not supposed to be in primarily italics or bold, just normal format so if you see it, let me know, I've just screwed up the HTML script is all.

I'm glad you like it, doesn't hardly seem worth writing otherwise! :) I hope to get it finished before I have to start back at work and study, but I'm not holding my breath. If you think the story's going downhill, or rushing, let me know, I've edited a couple of chapters the next day because I've realised my mistake in rushing it and I have no beta to act as safety net. That goes for anyone reading the story.

Thanks for the encouragement, and catching the typos. Cheers!
