The chapters of Gentleman Companion Three are unfolding. My editors have commented on how challenged they have become in reading my words which are filled with the emotions of Lawrence's journey. Like all of you I am watching the Olympics and the athletes whose life focus has been this challenging event.

Philippines May 29, 2012 My thoughts: 1. Liked all the characters, all of them are easy to imagine. I actually chose some celebrities to portray them and I picked myself as the Gentleman companion, of course. He is described as tall and handsome, which is synonymous to me (just kidding), he got HIV though. 2. Liked the character development of all the characters throughout the book. The dates were well-described, my favorite among the dates was Florian's. OMG! my heart melted when I read about the children in the orphanage. 3. Liked the setting! I envisioned how beautiful it is even if I haven't been in a cruise ship yet. 4. Liked the flow of the story and even if I haven't read the book one, the conversations made it easy to understand. 5. The story is very informative, there informations about HIV, Asperger's and Downs syndromes. 6. There was nothing astonishing, but it was interesting to read. 7. I noticed that there are several typographical errors but they are quite understandable. In general, the pacing is quite good, it is easy to read, and it is commendable. I think I should read the first and third ones. Recommend-o-meter: HIGH http://www.goodreads.com/ Patricia's note: I have participated in Goodread giveaways following the release of my last two books. The winners are not obligated to review the books as winners, but I was extremely pleased how Krisofher so clearly defined my purpose in writing these books. When I asked his permission to include his review on my blog he included the following comments: Ms. Patricia, I really enjoyed being Lawrence while reading it. It is my pleasure to see my review on your website. You can include my name as well as my country. I am really thankful that your book became part of my reading life. As a reader, I really like learning while I'm reading. Your book opened my eyes to the people who struggles with HIV. It inspired me to know more about it. Thank you for inspiring us who are not aware that this things are happening. Continue to inspire and educate more people regarding HIV through your works. Thank you! God bless! The editor of http://cruisebruise.com/ reviewed both of the books which are featured today on her blog. There is a review front and center, and by clicking on the book Companion One the review is repeated. Months again Ms. Huggins said she would be more than happy to read the books, and when I saw her email today I was pleased to see her reviews. She has created a direct purchase link to Amazon, what more could a writer ask for??
A few weeks ago I went to see Paul Anka at Seattle's Snoqualmie Casino, where he preformed in front of a crowd who sang to each of his songs..........songs we all grew up singing or dancing with that special adolescent love. Paul was celebrating his 54th anniversary as an entertainer and song writer,.. now I know I aged a few of you. Memories hold us in still moments remembering days proceeding today. Often I will write listening to a local station at 5 PM everyday, while it plays the oldies music, I find myself enhancing the words which I write. Who could possibly forget Paul Anka singing, "Put you Head on My Shoulders".? I have begun the final book, Gentleman Companion Three, and my heart is filled with memories which will challenge me in the months ahead.
