Kate, my appreciation for your work has turned a corner. I came to you at first because of your exquisite eroticism, but now I appreciate your stories for so much more than that. Now we have a complex intertwining of plots, story lines and characters, all of which grow with each episode. The Grangerverse goes from strength to strength, and the sooner you take up writing full time the better.

Hi Sifu, I’m thrilled you like it. KEJ was my first creative writing from C 1 to C 6 or thereabouts. I love the series and it’s characters

Hi RyGuy. Thank you so much. I'm really thrilled you enjoyed this chapter. I think the additional location and more characters (Henry, Alicia, Lizzie) on top of the rest of the family at Granger Hall helps create the right tone and recipe for a long term serialised story.

It is so hard to read as rears well up in your eyes. Then, I almost woke up the whole house, its 4 AM here, when the helicopter arrived and I cheered. I figured Kate had done what she does so well, take charge and kick ass! You have certainly made Alicia everyone’s favorite child. Such a great plot line. With the glorious hand of the author, we all know she is safe. Thank you for another great episode!

Hi Chester, I hope everyone in your house is reading KEJ - lols. I was just commenting to RyGuy about how all of these new characters with Jacob's sister, Claire, Claude, Hannah and Catherine give lots of options to keep KEJ fresh in the long term.

Hmmm, somewhat like real family dynamics in what, oh yeah, the real world. Very personal touch, and very real! You just can't help yourself, your writing always has an element of the real world and real people. Mistakes, interruptions and some failures. Like the kids say today, DUH! Love it all and I swear youcan almost smell the sex!
