Sooo Creepy, it sent chills everywhere. I've recently created a blog to showcase my own horror fiction and as I was searching for other Horror Writer's Blogs to check out, your story showed up in my search engine. I also love the LAY-OUT of your blog. It shows me that I still have much work to do to get my blog off the ground. I hope you keep writing! I plan to come back from time to time for a "fear fix." <strong><em>Louise, thank you so much for coming by. I'm glad you enjoyed the story, and I'm very happy to meet another aspiring horror writer! Please, feel free to come back and visit, peruse the older stories I've posted, and let me know what you think. I can't take credit for the pages and layout of the blog, though; that's all done by Wordpress.com, a free blogging platform, and I feel the best one available. If you're interested in moving your blog to an easy, simple to set-up and maintain blogging platform, check out http://wordpress.com/ and get one for yourself! Most of all, have fun. And thank you again! I'm glad to have met you!</em></strong> A Jog In The Park: I loved this story! Sooo Creepy, it sent chills everywhere.

Ben said you are an awesome writter, but I could not have dreamt this awesome. Dark and disturbing, my kind of treat. <strong><em>Well, thanks very much!

What are you going to do when the call comes and they want 3 chapters next week? Huh? I'm going to glue her toes back on, her Dad's going to rescue her and kill the bad guy. It's why I write children's stories, I'd scare myself to death. :) <strong><em>LOL! Well! If that call comes, I guess I'll figure something out PDQ! From your keyboard to God's eyes, Sara! And thanks for the vote of confidence. :) I'm glad you write children's stories ... my kids can't read my work, but they can devour yours!</em></strong> Well fine then.

When can I read the rest of this book? Have you read "The Surgeon" by Tess Gerristen? Your "Jog in the Park" is just like that. I picked up the surgeon while I was waiting for someone in another cubicle and read the first couple of pages. Left work went to Border's and stood in the aisle reading, but it was too scary to bring home. The following Saturday, me and a coffee spent 3 hours in the stacks at Borders with the surgeon scaring myself silly. Really fantastic! <strong><em>Well, thank you Sara! I wish I could tell you the rest is somewhere online, but there IS no rest. This is just self-contained vignette, like most of my short stories. But I'm very glad to know you liked it! You flatter me!</em></strong> And I have to tell you that I DID NOT fall asleep last night till about 2 am I was still seeing the toes in the sand. When can I read the rest of this book?

When I read an opener like this, the book goes to the cash register with me and I do nothing else until I finish it. Wow, for lack of a better adjective. <strong><em>Goodness, thank you, Sara! That's very humbling! I'm honestly speechless. Well, more or less; I can still manage thank you though. :)</em></strong> OMG!!!!!

It brought to mind stories like Joe Lansdale's NIGHT THEY MISSED THE HORROR SHOW. Keep filling the darkness with words my friend. <strong><em>Thank you, Al!
