Decent start. We get to know the characters and you add a little bit of intrigue with the 'it probably won't be a problem for me' about the whole tie business. A tip about your chapters, though you've already loaded all of these. If you don't want the big gaps between paragraphs from pasting from Word paste your chapter into Notepad first. It does remove some formatting which you have to redo but it gets rid of those large distracting gaps too.

As a kid during one summer my mother, sister, and I played trivial pursuit every night for like 2-3 hours. It was insane! I still like the game but haven't played in years. Games are fun. Maybe find a support group? Scrabbleholics Anonymous?

It is very sweet. I like the attitude change in your main character. The flow could use a little work but I like the shifting emotions you have throughout the story within your main character. It made the progression work since the story was so very short.

Aww, you're sweet! I guess I've just a vivid imagination. But it comes to life when I write and you are a large part of helping me make them amazing. I know I tend to write 'ideal' guys with superb traits and then put them through hell but I try to make them not too unrealistic it's not believable. No one is perfect after all. However, loyalty and devotion are two big traits I had to imbue with these guys. It's very central to their characters. Thanks so much for the review!

"It doesn't have to be him! He is your kind; I can sense that. But a male? No cubs can come from him. If he is here there must be others of your kind. Let him lead us to them, be our guide. A kitling his age is surely capable of that. But you can't claim him, My Lord, the clan would revolt." Cavel's lips curled into a sharp sneer and he cuffed the cat on the head. "Do not threaten me." His voice held a deep snarl and the other cat sank to his belly as soon as Cavel spoke. Saulle's defiance

A hot steamy jungle, a plague in the past and present and two men who are destined to be mates. Volatile tempers erupt in a fiery tale of romance and magic.

Awwww, you're sweet! Making signatures is a lot of fun for me. Sometimes I open up pictures and just play with them for fun when I'm stressed because doing it is relaxing and often amusing. So really it was my pleasure!! I don't think the original picture is in the gallery but I'll upload it later on my main computer, the file isn't on my netbook that I'm on now If anyone else wants a graphic let me know. I really don't mind at least trying to make something

OMG! You've gone old on us!! Happy Birthday dear!

I don’t get it. I really don’t. I’m lying in a hard uncomfortable bed and these people keep coming up to me and talking. I don’t understand what they are saying but I watch their mouths move; open, shut, open, shut. They point to things and their voices get louder. I wince when they do that. It hurts. Sometimes I think that is all that is left to me; pain. Then again, I don’t remember anything else so maybe that’s all there really is. I don’t know. Those people don’t seem to be in pain but mayb

What forces a person into hiding? How do you find them when they are too afraid to come out?

Ha-Ha!!!! You win, I lose!!! (and how often is that a good thing?!!!) Enjoy your crown my dear, it was well-earned!!!

Well you know my take on most of the stuff you've said, we've talked off and on. Can I say as a first time momma I was sooo surprised at how perfect the babies were at just 12 weeks. All the important stuff is done at that point and you just wait for them to get less 'alien big-headed' and grow more. I'm glad your surrogate is being healthy cause giving that stuff up during summer months suck! No cantaloupe (listeriosis), no soft serve ice cream because of bacteria in the machines, soda, caffeine, extra salt, sugar, undercooked anything, unpasteurized anything... yeah, no fun ANyway, hugs!

Great chapter! It was sooo interesting learning about how the whole were/vamp/werevamp culture/change happens in your storyline. I could almost feel how happy Richard was, it was very evocative.

Oooh... lotsa Andy, in quotes, so he can't make it go away. Neener neener neener! Nice pics guys!! (try smiling Andy, we know you have it in you!)

Happy Birthday!!

Well I do photography, as anyone who has been in chat with me on a day I take pictures can attest I also really enjoy hiking, the kids and I do a lot of it during the summer, there are a ton of trails within an hour of my house with a lot of scenic areas which just feeds my photography. I am also a hunter, my husband and I both use bows so I practice that year round. Reading, writing, baking... that about sums me up!

Happy Birthday! For you, from me. Do the clickie clickie. Yums!

I write some sex. Not a lot, and not the play by play variety. I don't get into the super flowery 'oceans flowed and heavens moved' analogies for it either. I try to keep erotic without being graphic. For me it varies how much I will put in, depending on the story itself. Is the sex part of the story for a reason? Usually. Honestly, there is a time and place for it and it is quite often a vital part of any new relationship (something I tend to write about). I don't like to slide characters into bed right off though. In life and in fiction, I like to think that taking the time to enjoy kissing, making out, drawing out the passion, makes those first times so much more meaningful. I try to show that fundamental place sex has to people but keep it from being overdone. I like to read sex scenes, I don't skip them unless they don't ascribe to that same philosophy. Jack off stories, ones with poorly executed sex scenes visually, will usually turn me away from a story.

LOL, great pics Soup! Too funny. Enjoy Uni! It'll be great I'm sure!

Okay, maybe he's just a fan of historical action flicks like 300 and Arthur and stuff. With the new movie, Eagle, out in theaters that genre is getting a little bit of a revival. Or he could like looking at hot guys, who knows? First, props for being proactive! Way to go Vic!!! Two, the 'owe him something' bit. Check out the next time he's gyming. Does he have a water bottle, towel, idk, whatever else a gym guy might need? Getting him something and saying thanks again for the workout thing, I tried it and such and such... might open up another opportunity for dialogue between you guys. Who knows, he may be interested, he may just become a friend. Either way is sort of win/win right?

You'll not find that lust in my stories too often actually. I do include sexual activity when it fits in with the plot but this wasn't that kind of story. Really it had no big idea behind it but was just a showcase of two people, how they meet, and the potential that is there in the beginning of a relationship, friends or dating. For the most part a good relationship doesn't exactly start with sex, at least not in my mind. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I like to hear other's opinions on my stories. It gives me good ideas what works and what doesn't.

LOL! Told you not to do that! Be proactive. Talk to him, maybe he feels the same way you do and was waiting for you to say hi? Ever think of that?

Hugs Owl. I think we fans can keep our love of your stories while you are dealing with life. Never apologize for going through a tough time dear, we are here to help and support you, so of course you should share. My ear is always open if you need to talk, even if it's via email. Take care of your family and yourself. We'll still be here when you get back.

I'll give her the rep, lmao that was funny! And yeah, I've had that before, people peeking. Ticks me off. Luckily the netbook screen is really small. On another note, try shrinking your window you write on to just a few lines, if possible. That makes it really hard for an 'eavesreader'

Awwww, I love your humor. Told you that you should have taken paper and pen. Think of all the writing you could have done. I take my netbook to dr. appts, car service, kids movie trips... it's all time to write.
