When Friendship Dies : Disclaimer
Paula Davis is an incredible person. She has spend endless hours editing this story. I wrote it between February and May 2007. She revised, proofread and edited and was all together a strong and valued friend and collaborator. The plot is mine, the obstacles, the risks I took with the prologue is mine. But the cheers and the words of trust she has given me is above the duty of friendship. Where others will scream at the prologue, she went and asked and showed curiosity. I can only hope that anyone reading this complete story, posted in installments during the week of the 11 of June 2007 and the 19 of June of the same year, will have the open mind to realize what a plot device is and go forward and read more. I have put heart and soul into this story. So while Paula has worked hard at proofreading, I reminded potential readers that I am a native French speaker, that I wrote the story in English, that Paula helped to polish it, while keeping all the makes me this foreigner of English writer. All mistakes, mishaps and others are strictly mine and mine alone. All that is perfect is very likely Paula.
I want to thank Susie and Suzie. They know who they are. They know I value brickbats over flowers any time. Constructive critics are highly welcome. Flames are not.
As is my usual mode of rating - Violence is what I consider adult-theme and not family oriented. Death is violence. Shooting is violence. Shooting people in the back is highly violent.. Daniel Boone is a tv serie with a high mortality rate, a high violence content in my Quebecoise sensibility and values. So this story has the same rating as my vignettes and poems and of my first story.
I am writing the third story in the Daniel Boone universe. If you enjoy reading this one, somehow, it would also pleased me if you let me know. If you don't, let me know why, as long as you read until the end, so you can tell me why with the knowledge of the story behind you.
