Umm that was one effed up preacher. Just so you know though, in small southern towns, it is extremely rare to find a Catholic church, and priests are only ever Catholic or part of some weird demonic type religion. And a Christian pastor probably would never do something like that, its way more likely a Catholic priest would. And I dont get how he died...?

Author's Response: Regarding the preacher: I agree, it's rare. Actually he wasn't supposed to be Catholic. He was supposed to be an Episcopalian sect (they call their preachers 'Father' too) and I did have a research-based justification for it all at one point. But you're right, I should've just made him a Baptist or something...I left the death a little vague on purpose; I suspect he had a heart attack or a stroke. Maybe both.

I love all of the different meetings you come up with for L&R and I agree with MovieMom, there's no such thing as "overlong". Can't wait for the next update!

Oh, my, you just keep right on writing all this beautiful character and plot development. Take all the time and however many words you need. I was positively riveted to the screen as I read this chapter. When it's this well written, there is no such thing as 'overlong'. More, more, more! --Wendie

Author's Response: Thank you so much. Believe me, there's more...
