Narlen & Eveline Evans

Narlen and Eveline Evans have been happily married for many years. They live in the Central Texas area. Narlen is retired and now spends all his time on trike building, woodcarving, and volksmarching. We worked on the stories together. The ideas are mostly his and she took them and typed them up. Eveline is also retired now and enjoys photography, volksmarching (AVA.org) and typing up the stories he tells.

  This was my first video book read. I was surprised at how quickly I forgot I wasn't turning a paper page as your love story held my interest. You have a way with words. Great book.

  Quite an interesting story. Has a lot of grammar errors and missing words, but it was interesting enough it keep me going until the finish.

  his boots up on the wooden balcony? Don't you mean porch railing? Could be a good story but the poor formatting lost me before I found out. Also the fake country dialogue was off putting.

• The Ramblers on July 09, 2012
  
  Too simple for my taste. Needs more description of the walking trail, etc.

• The Last Bride in Ballymuir on Sep. 11, 2012
  
  Although the writing was too graphic for my taste, I skipped those parts and still had a wonderful read. Kept me turning pages to the very end. Well Done.

  I particularly enjoyed the artwork. Very cute. The story was also cute and one I know my grandchildren would enjoy. However the formatting of the text isn't pretty. It runs together and doesn't break right.

  Lost interest after the first chapter.The story line sounded promising but it was all narrative.
  
• A Gift For Joey on Oct. 23, 2012
  
  Good short story. Didn't really like the last paragraph...

  Way to short and simple. Has the makings of a great story but what is here is simply the basic outline.
  
• Hope on a Paige (Tales from the Dead Letter Office) on Nov. 12, 2012
  
  Interesting story it had me hooked from the start. I don't know if I'm disappointed or relieved that their is an "open" ending. Depending on your outlook you can choose how you want the story to end. Being a romantic, I think they ended up "happily ever after" together.
  
• Millie's Christmas on Nov. 21, 2012
  
  Well written with believable characters. What a wonderful world it would be if all our neighbors were like Millie's.

  Well written and interesting. Saw only a couple minor grammar errors. Great story for Christmas!

  While the story was interesting the book need an editor who can correct the numerous mistakes. Also the transition from one situation to the next was very abrupt and at times confusing.

  I like a romance but not sexually graphic material. I think the tags out to have stated it was 'sexually graphic'.
  
• Images - A Love Story on Aug. 21, 2013
  
  Held my interest. A shame it was just a short story, I think it would be a book that lots of people would enjoy.
  
• Define Trying... on Aug. 22, 2013
  
  Enjoyed revisiting high school. Glad my generation didn't have "modern technology" to muck it up worse then it was. Good read, held my interest, and as John Belliveau said it needs an editor to fix the errors.

  I read this book in two days. I really enjoyed reading it, turning each page eagerly to see what was going to happen next. Being self published it has some minor editorial errors, but not enough to distract for the story.

  I enjoyed your story. I only have one problem with it. Since when are beavers trapped during the summer. Their pelts would have no value at that time of year.

  What an awful story... well written and reviting but not the kind of story I enjoy reading.

  Terrific story. Great ending. Read it in one day!
  
• Victoria's Family on July 20, 2016
  
  While the book is very good it has room for improvement to make it more believable. When Victoria is buying her ticket, there would be many stops between Meadows, Mo and Mobile, Al. Therefore she would need to tell the ticket agent that she wanted to go to the “end of the line” would she not? The trip (even today) would take over 29 hours. Should not some mention be made of this fact? There is no direct train from Mobile Al to anyplace in Montana. They would have to have changed trains with a layover somewhere (Probably TN). Again the time to get to TN would be 20 hours and from there to Montana another 54. (Again this is Amtrak time so no telling how long the 1902 train would have taken). The sheep ranch (not farm) would be outside of town so they would have to have been picked up by someone in a carriage. Dropping off the baby with her mother…. Victoria is someplace in the North on a river boat and she leaves the baby with the Captain! Not workable. She said her mother’s boarding house was west of Mobile which would probably put it in Mississippi. But the end of the Mississippi River is New Orleans, LA. Even the most accommodating boat captain would not travel very far with an infant. There are other errors like ease dropping should be eavesdropping. Twice there is quite when it should be quiet. Repeatedly residence is used when residents is meant. But the story like is terrific. Congratulations on publishing your first Smashwords book.
