I really like your work. I found myself reading non-stop. Just wondering if you could check out some of my stuff if you get a chance. Be blessed, Danny....

The exploits of Skip and his friends are believable and fitting to the era the book was written in.
As the book played out in my mind, the characters seemed to come to life thanks to Mr. Lee's fantastic story telling.
I savored every word & event and didn't want this book to end. I would love to see it adapted for television.

Kudos to Laz:) Thanks Stephanie!
I completed the Createspace revisions...mostly comma deletions...and now I'm going back through this edition making the same changes before I publish here. I have some "favorite chapters; 15, "Miss Marilou Jenkins", but I think my best was 20, "Peg-Leg's Return." Oh them boys!

I downloaded Firefox and opened your book again, and voila! Perfect! No more glitches! Thanks for the suggestion, whoever it was that recommended using Firefox! 'D
Okay - off I go to finish reading!

The funniest thing, Judy. I read the Bookrix book on how to format, followed the instructions, and voila! I hope you enjoy the rest of my little novel:) It;s readable, now.
Lol! Thanks, Pat! ')
Just sketched through to page 61 - I did not see any html or other extraneous words, etc.

Thank you Janice!
I remember this (the first chapter anyway) from before. But I have to ask - did you use a voice-thingy to put this on the computer? Because every instance of "he was" has been changed to "hey what." It took me a while to figure out that it wasn't you - you write way better than that, so I have to assume it's the system you're using, or something like that. You might want to check into it.
There are also extraneous words... mehr anzeigen

Thanks Judy:)
he was/hey what...it COULD BE a goof u in my writing, but for things that large, I usually catch them. What chapter(s)? Ch. 1????
Anyway...I'll go look after I read a new entry in the sci-fi comp! Thanks again, dear.
I just have to read this story! But I have to tell ya: if it does not live up to the expectations that the blurb so generously rose, I swear I'll reach through the computer and cyber strangle you. It better be phenomenal! You don't want me all pent up wanting a great story and then disappointed.

We are our own worst critics...as well as our own best "Carnival Barkers":) :)
I think it's phenomenal, but I must admit, I'm slightly prjudiced. I think you'll love it, Sabrina. Thanks:)
;P
Although I gotta say, the picture you used for the cover is actually really cool. Just add some effects and cool fonts and the cover art would be golden.
I haven't finished yet but it doesn't matter. This is, without a doubt, my personal favourite from Patrick and one of my top picks from ALL the offerings at BookRix. The characters and dialogue are so real and you can't help but laugh, cheer, and cringe as each escapade is sketched out in glorious detail. I can't wait for the final version and will read and re-read until it's done. And I just hope and pray this story gets the... mehr anzeigen

Thanks so much, Preston! Coming from the likes of you, I am flattered and encouraged more than you know!
I spent the day pushing chapters into the revised edition. The hard part is just around the corner, now.
Thank you again, sir.
Love, love, love! Haven't quite finished it yet, but I am loving the phrasing you use in it - and those metaphors are pure gold! The descriptions in it really paint a picture, it's like I'm watching a movie.

Oh my goodness! Thanks Chris. I'm flattered and honored that you spoke so highly of my second novel:)

Oh my goodness! Thanks Chris. I'm flattered and honored that you spoke so highly of my second novel:)
It IS a novel, not a memoir, although Jimmy was in fact my next door neighbor, and he definitely was like Jimmy as portrayed in the book. I patterned Skip after myself, and absolutely, Mom and Pop in the book were pretty true to life:) Inky and Butch were real, although I made them meaner (and Butch stupider) than they really were.
Allan and Clifford--real. Dennis the Menace (Terence), real. Uncle John and King David, real. Some of the other characters as well. Oh yes, Mr. Peepers, too. He really did say, "That was a humdinger!" on TV.
The martians were purely fictional:)
Maybe some producer will happen to read it!
