Mark C. Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Wow, great start, Cynus! You were able to set the hooks for Silas and Addy in me right away, leaving me wanting to know more about the pair and liking them already when the chapter ended. Dialogue was good, realistic and descriptions spot on and I'm sure I have been in several of the diners you described. The only complaint I have is that I wanted more, grin...... Hey, I have been a pain in the butt to other authors here, always whining, "I want more" so might as well initiate you now! Al Norris and Cynus 2
boozel11 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Cynus , you have got my interest ! Drake is poised to be the next great character at CR . Love the way you've started this tale . The actors involved push the story very well . Can't wait for Drake to tell us who the guy he finds in the cafe is . And what he means for him . My mind says he may be related . The waitress took note of his name . Next please . dael Al Norris 1
Cynus Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 Mark, The good thing about you wanting more is that it will be here every week. The story is finished, and so the weekly updates will happen without any interruptions on my end. With any luck, I'll always have something new to post, but I guess we'll just have to see. The story derives a great deal of its strength from my editor, Anthony, and my primary beta reader, John. Without either of their support I don't know where this story would have ended up. I look forward to hearing more about what you liked(or heaven forbid disliked) about The Navigator in coming chapters. Dael, Silas Drake is among the strongest characters I've ever had the pleasure to write. He practically wrote himself, and I was happy to let him. Normally my characters don't take the reins quite like he did. And don't you worry. You'll find out more about the man in the cafe soon. Thanks to both of you for your input. Peace

boozel11 Posted June 22, 2015 Report Posted June 22, 2015 Cynus , Chelsea , huh ? Wonder how she fits in ? Seems pretty up front right now . She finds him interesting , he told he doesn't swing her way . She knows her church is a crock , as does he about his . Friendship in need of acceptance ? Wonder how Silas will get over his bro not contacting him ? Oh , the joy of figuring it all out ! Amaze me Sam ! dael Cynus 1
Cynus Posted June 24, 2015 Report Posted June 24, 2015 Oh, I promise plenty of twists and turns in this tale, my friend. I hope that none of those turns will throw you too off course.

boozel11 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Cynus , Brady confides that he really likes Silas ! I think the thoughts are mutual . I just love it when my guys have feelings for each other . Makes me very happy for them ! Guess I wish it was me . Great story , dude ! dael Cynus 1
Benji Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 This story has intrigued me. I must finish it!! When I first started reading Navigator, I got to the part where he was talking about leaving and got interrupted. It took me a while to get back to it, but now I've read through what is there and I am quite pleased with what I have found so far in the story. Looking forwards to reading more. Cynus 1
Cynus Posted June 27, 2015 Report Posted June 27, 2015 Well, I hope to keep you interested and intrigued to the end. Reaction to the story seems to be good so far, and I only hope that the ending will be worth the wait.

Jeikor Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 Can't believe I have written in this forum yet! I love this story! When the updates come it is a toss-up whether I read this or D'Artagnon's first. I am sure I posted that I liked this story when you posted about taking a break from writing. I hope things are getting better and that you return to writing at some point. Glad to see Amy start to ease inside Silas' defenses a little bit. He needs to learn to let people care for him and know that it doesn't mean he has to give up his independence. Cynus 1
Cynus Posted August 15, 2015 Report Posted August 15, 2015 I actually have something in the works right now. It's about halfway completed, so maybe I have enough of a buffer to submit to Castle Roland? I'm glad that you're enjoying the story, and I hope you'll like it all the way through to the end. The second third of the story (Chapters 10-18) Have some of my favorite sections, and with any luck you'll like them too. Can't believe I have written in this forum yet! I love this story!

Jeikor Posted August 15, 2015 Report Posted August 15, 2015 The Castle only asks that you have 5 chapters completed of a series before submitting. I am sure I will continue to enjoy the story. Cynus 1
Cynus Posted August 15, 2015 Report Posted August 15, 2015 The Castle only asks that you have 5 chapters completed of a series before submitting. I am sure I will continue to enjoy the story. I just looked that up as well. Turns out I'm close, as I'm at 4 complete chapters and then bits and pieces of all the rest of the chapters. I suppose I might be able to submit soon then. Jeikor 1
