To all who wanted the next part of the story just google Jessie Hanks Outlaw Queen. and after that is Tales of the Eerie Saloon: Seasons of Change and the last part Eerie Saloon The Toy Soldier.

I absolutely loved your story, it had some really cute, sad, and hilarious moments. I truly hope to see more from you in the future.

Fantastic story.

I wish we could make contact, I would like to draw some pictures of these episodes.

A well armed mocho cowboy into a delicate lady dressed in a long fancy print bustled dress, with a wide brimmed tilted hat and a small long umbrella, looking very supprised at her situation.

Illustrating your wild west story would increase its popularity, I suspect.

AHHHHH!

I forgot to say I loved the extremely cute bit about forcing the new girls to say, "I'm a girl" everything they brush their hair. That was deliciously evil, but in a good way.

The Eerie Saloon is a most unique place. The people of this small western town seem to be rather friendly, but do not wish to become a circus sideshow. Simple folk living on the edge of the frontier, lots of men, and few women. I think that might be why the transformed outlaws were so readily accepted as women.

I think my favorite character has to be Maggie; she called out to me more than any other. As a man he only wanted to provide for his family, and that to me makes him a man amongst men. Rather than abandon his family, he continued sending money back home, even after he became a woman. As a woman she proved that family matters more than anything else, she took charge of her children the way any good parent (mother or father) would. I really wished she had been the one to finally realize she could be with Ramon as a true wife. It might have been a bit much to expect a double wedding at the end of the story, but it would have been really sweet to see her finally attain some happiness, plus it would have been cute to see her children all dressed up.

Laura really didn't become interesting until after she was kidnapped, and then it took time for me to accept Jane into her life. I have mixed emotions about Jane, as a man she almost raped Laura which is something I would not forgive if I were the victim. Jane becoming a physical twin of Laura didn't really satisfy me, it almost seemed like a reward, rather than a punishment. Still, as a woman, Jane seems too childlike for the story. Laura on the other hand, finally had that moment when she could not deny her feminine self any longer. It was really sweet and romantic to see her melt into her new role and let the man in her life make her whole. It seemed to take quite a while, but there was so much else to read, it was never really dull.

Bridget has much to learn about men despite being born as one. When a man pays that much attention to you, its not because they just want to be your friend. A man always wants to be more than just friends, and she has two men who are pursuing her. Refusing to admit she really is a woman and pretending that these men in her life are purely platonic only shows just how much she is in denial of the facts. I have yet to read the sequel to "Eerie," but I have a feeling that one of the men in her life is headed for a real heartbreak, and there's nothing Bridget can do to prevent it from happening. The best she can hope for is to pick the one she wants to be with because if she doesn't, then all three lose.

Wilma was very hard to take throughout most of the story. She was mean as a man, and she didn't improve that much when she became a woman. I figured she was most likely to take a second dose of the potion almost from the beginning. I am just glad that it din't turn her completely into a mindless nymphomaniac. Yes, she thinks about sex quite a lot, but she seems to actually be giving good advise to her friends instead of manipulating them like she did before.

Jessie is still a bit of a mystery because she escaped into that sequel I have not read yet. A petite woman who is capable of killing if she needs to. The murder of her potential rapist was purely unintentional, and she probably would have been proven innocent of any crime. She didn't have that much left on her current sentence, which begs the question, why runaway? Is she crazy? is she still a villain? I don't know, I guess I'll have to keep reading in order to find out for sure.

Most of the other characters are really quite lovely. I would almost like to travel back in time to meet them and talk the way friends might when they have not seen one another in a long time. I had a warm feeling when I read this story and it continued all the way to the end. I highly recommend reading this entire epic if you should have the chance.

Dear Ellie and Christopher:

 Well I must admit it took me a bit to get into this story but with patience it really starts to build. I am not a fan of mind control so that part was off the path for me. Yet I was quite pleased that femininity eventually overwhelmed the outlaws sensibilities in all but one case.  Though I haven't seen the end yet.

  Your story is well developed and intricate in all the details. Details of how to run a saloon, playing cards, a doctors visit were all easily believable because they matched the context of the 1870's so well. There are too many details to cover, but as the story progresses they bring the characters out of a fuzzy haze into crystal clear vision. The heroines at first are less than appealing but Maggie and Bridget especially as well as Laura become very sympathetic characters which of course is exactly what we readers are looking for. There are a few villains as well to satisfy alternate reader urges.

  Your tale is like a rich an intricate web that for me at first was not very pleasing but became entrancing to the point where I could not stop reading.

  If you are going to read this story give it a chance and get to at least the end of part two, preferably three and reevaluate. I think you will like it.  The X rating is very soft, by the way and I wouldn't worry about it.  Please give Tales of the Eerie Saloon:High Noon a far shake and I say you will be pleasantly surprised.

  Thank you so much for releasing it fast so it can be enjoyed like a book.  That is such a relief.  Thanks for all your hard work.

Hugs,

Kristi
