Thanks for the information, everyone.
Well, I'm intrigued, Nan. I can't help feeling very sorry for Ellen, I always did find her a character worthy of a little sympathy, and your portrayal of her invokes even more from me.
Your sense of character all round is superb in fact - I was drawn into the story right from the first few paragraphs and you never eased up on your grip of my attention, right till I got to tbc... <g>
You have me fascinated with Candy's predicament and I'm eager to see where we go from here.
Think I might just take a look at those previous stories over the weekend too.
More please?
