(In response to the author's request for advice on whether to continue or end the story here)

The plot seems to be winding its way to an inevitable conclusion; although there's discussion of changing the security system, as far as I can tell the last real threat was back in Chapter 11. You've made it to a landmark date (Christmas) and resolved most other plot threads I can think of. For this book at least, it feels like the natural progression is to add one more chapter covering the return to San Diego and call it there, and if you're planning on being done with the series another chapter covering Dan finally formally leaving the service to permanently relocate to the island.

However, you've built up quite the stable of capable and well-developed characters, with plenty of opportunity to either expand or retrench. There's only been, what, one rotation at BUDS? Are there going to be additional consequences for Jeff's team capturing pedophiles and dropping them off at the Hells' Angels? Will the new planned security system get used in anger, or will the old version see one last hurrah, as gruesome as forethought? What kind of young adult will Amore blossom into? If you're up for writing another book, I'd definitely be on board as a reader with exploring one or more of these issues.

Please continue, at least until the babies are born.
Then a book 3 when Dan leaves military service and they all relocate to the island.

I have looked forward to each new chapter and would like to see the story continue, thank you for such a great story

Continue. However perhaps further development of the Admiral's character with his quick retirement and move to the Island in order to oversee the development of it's infrastructure.

Threats and action toward Dan and Sue also demanding the growth of their intelligence and protection business. Especially as the Island develops.

Thanks for the story, It's been enjoyable. However a Book 3 may be needed.

Really enjoyed Book 1 and I'm enjoying Book 2 alot.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book.  I've been holding off reading this one until it is complete, but I don't think I'm going to last... I'm getting a little too eager to see what comes next

Thank You for the kind words and I sincerely hope you like the second book as well as the first.  Unfortunately I'm not sure when this second book will be finished.

Thanks again

What a great read. I am really enjoying the descriptions and depth of your storytelling. In addition, I know NAS North Island (‘73-‘77).

Please clarify the pronunciation of Amore (A-More, or A-Mor-a?).

Also, I would recommend getting a trusted Proofreader to view your submission prior to submitting.

Still, a very talented and enjoyable read!

The way I envision it is a-more but since I don't speak Spanish if you do and envision it as A-more-A so be it.

I would use a proof reader if I could find one.

I'm glad you are enjoying it such as it is and hope you continue to do so for many more chapters.

If it is supposed to have a Spanish pronunciation, then it would be "ah-MOR-ay".  If it is an Americanized version of a Spanish name... it could be pronounced "Frank", 'cause Americans are weird.

wow, I am a fan.  I understand your need to take a break, but I pray you'll come back rested and ready gor a few hundred more chapters...  or as many as you want.  Your writing is fun and yoyr descriptions give me visions in my mind of what your words describe.  Some writers tell a story and just move the plotvalong. You do that and more, not only moving the plot, but bringing the reader along as well.  Thank you for all your hard work writing this fabulous story and enjoy your life.

I have enjoyed Saving Sister Sue and Book 2 Life in San Diego because your story hit to many home truths than I could count.  I for one am a retired Lieutenant Commander form the Navy could testify that the challenger's you wrote about are in fact Real Life experience's that happen on base's all over the place. 
I hope that you will continue with Book 3 as you had mentioned when you come back from your rest.  Also food for thought maybe to write other stories dealing with the on goings of the military like you have already wrote.

Thank you for your service Lacyann.  For people like yourself I have tried to make it as believable as I could and sincerely thank you for letting me know I was able to do so.

Sincerely,
