Khronos and Kairos was a wonderful and very evocative story. As I read, it played like a movie in m imagination and I was there...in the house! Thank you for an excellent and thoughtful read.

Great story. Thought provoking. I’ve been thinking about it the last few days. Would I trade a few years of my live to achieve a goal. When I was younger I probably would have said yes but looking back the journey is the reward. There is no sense of achievement when things come too easy - back to the grind 😀

“the journey is the reward” - well said! Not that there aren’t other rewards too, but I think you’re right that the journey is part of what makes us who we are and often looking back even on tough times, we recognize that. I know that as I look back on things I wouldn’t necessarily have chosen in life, I still wouldn’t swap my experience for something easier, because that’s what’s made me who I am today.

Thanks for your thoughtful comment!!

This would make a good novel if you ever want to expand it. I would love to know Miss Price's story. I mean Dr. Price 😊

Now there's a thought! I have a backlog of novels to edit and publish, but maybe somewhere down the line.... 👀

There was something so foreboding about the style of this from beginning to end. Absolutely loved it!

Also, it just felt so well polished! You really went the extra mile in the editorial process on this one! It felt so smooth to read, it didn't even feel that long at all!

Thanks!! I definitely spent more time editing this one, because the first draft was even longer and I was trying to shave it down! 😆 I guess that paid off!

It definitely did!

Not to say your usual editing is bad - it definitely isn't just to be clear!

Either way I loved this story, it was awesome!

That was great, Caitriana! And a timely reminder that the Humanities have still something to teach us.
