| I was delighted to find this story on the MEFA website. It left me on the edge of my seat numerous times. What a delight to have the story end the way that it did, with no ill intent from the palantir. And I loved the cat clearing up the misunderstandings *grin* Well done! Author Reply: Thanks, PipMer. I hope "Dead Steward's Gift" gave you a nice start for 2009. - Steff | |

| I just loved this! My Leo could almost have written it! Just delightful! I do hope you write more about Faramir and his cat. You have whetted my curiosity about the books you mention and I've just bid for one on e bay. Author Reply: Hi Linda! This chapter is for everyone who has ever had a cat in their life. I just couldn't wait until I finished the whole story so that I could give the audience Cirri's point of view. I read the first six books of the Midnight Louie series and "Cat in an Indigo Mood." My favorite of them all was "Cat on a Blue Monday," but it is also very upsetting. One of the characters is a cat hoarder--one of those old ladies with about 50 cats in an old house. Shudder. I will say no more. - Steff | |

| Thank you so very much for this excellent story. And a special thanks for the last chapter, a "must" for everyone who loves cats. Sincerely hoping you'll write a new wonderful story soon is your faithful reader Irene Author Reply: Thanks for supporting me through the years, Irene. I have a couple of ideas on where I want to go next with my story. I also may participate in some challenges on other sites, which will mean I will also be posting them here. Meantime, I expect to be a big reader of fan fiction the next few months by participating in the MEFA awards as a reviewer. If you like to read excellent fiction, check out the MEFAs. - Steff | |

| Charming! And let's get those rats indeed! Cirrion has his priorities right! Author Reply: Hi Larner - Thanks for keeping up with "Dead Steward's Gift." I think Cirri might have inadvertently gotten me into a literal rat hole. But my thinking is closer to Faramir's. Where does the corridor behind those boards lead to? Could Faramir have another mystery on his hands? Where will I get the time to write such a thing? Yikes. I gave myself my very own plot bunny. Good luck in the MEFAs, Larner, and everyone else who writes and reads these reviews. - Steff | |

| A wonderful epilogue - you really seem to capture the character of a young male cat. And his relationship with his Steward is excellently written; unlike a dog, Cirri acknowledges no one as his master, but he does like having friends, and has chosen Faramir as his friend. The best bit, though, was Cirri thinking of the palantir as a tool for cleaning whiskers and gums - too funny! Very enjoyable story! Author Reply: Oh, Raksha, you can't imagine how much fun I had writing this chapter. I've been waiting for months to give everyone Cirri's point of view. And yes, this is exactly with the writer Carole Nelson Douglas does with her Midnight Louie feline character. I imagined Cirri as a typical 18 year old guy who has just realized he is almost grown, as Chuck Berry once said. He loves his Steward (surrogate Dad) but thinks Dad is a bit old fashioned, dim witted, and just plain doesn't understand. And I have it first hand from Cirri that palantirs work better than flossing! Take care, Steff | |
