[Miss Behavin]

Once again, thank you all. The compliments have been overwhelming and truly appreciated. At the same time, I welcome constructive criticism too.

I have never read anything on "how to write" and other than the basic education we receive in school as children, have had only my imagination, a dictionary, and one severely dog-eared thesaurus for my tools. Even if it sounds like criticism, any suggestions how to improve my writing are appreciated as well.

Dowly, my friend, as a title, How does "Despite all Odds - Last Voyage of U-406" sound?

As far as a cover picture, were I an artist, a depiction of a surfaced U-boat being tossed about on rough seas, a mangled tower and foredeck, and desperate men abandoning her to life rafts. In the sky and very close, a large bomber, her guns blazing with bullets kicking up geysers of water about the stricken submarine and a bomb frozen in midair only a second or two from impact."

Unfortunately, I am nowhere near talented enought to draw such a scene. If you wish to use a picture or photo, I will trust your judgement as to what to use, bearing in mind any copyright protection on such.


By the way, the story is not yet quite complete and I will post more as it progresses into it's final chapters. I'm still waiting on the final outcome and this all depends on the success or failure of U-735 in getting us home.

Thanks again everyone for taking the time to read this and for your comments, good or bad.

Sincerest regards,

Heather
