No kidding! Since they literally connect their souls... what could happen if they aren't? Freaky!

Thanks, Robin! <3

Thank you, Lux! I agree. It's time to start getting some answers!

Park and Kraig sandwiched Lydia between them, holding her tight. She patted and rubbed their arms where they clung to her. “What’s going on?” she asked again. “Cameron found Henry’s body.” Delivering the grim news was my duty as her alpha, as Henry’s alpha. It wasn’t something I expected to have to do. Most mates couldn’t hold on when the lost that connection between their animal souls. “How do you feel?” I couldn’t imagine living without that pairing between us, if I lost Kraig. It was alread

<3 <3 Awesome review. I could see you spinning, lol! Don't worry, there will have to be more. How can I let down all the awesome readers who took the time to share how much they enjoyed this story and want more?! Thanks for reading, hohochan657!

Oh, I'm pretty sure I will have to write more (or suffer the consequences!) LOL There are quite a few questions left unanswered, though the main gist of this story, Eligyan's adventure, was completed. Trust me, it's harder than heck for me to stop and not write a novel every time, lol! Thanks for the review, Puppilull!

Aww, you're so sweet! My daughter was very into Owls for years. Books everywhere, and so it stuck with me as an idea for a great Halloween story. They do lend themselves very well to a magical, mystical theme.

Thank you, Gary! I don't think I shall make everyone suffer so far as to wait until next year. There must be a way... so we shall have to figure it out! Hmm...

LOL! 12 months would be a very long time to wait! And yes, I think Eligyan understands that mother's lessons aren't always just to ruin a young person's fun! LOL

Thank you, Skinnydragon. I wanted to do a little story for Halloween but I wasn't into the typical tropes. Plus the image of the owl flying just had to be used and provided a wonderful muse.

Hmm... maybe a slight recap will happen in the follow-up I'm pretty darn sure I will just have to find the time to write. Thanks for the review, hun!

Thanks, Mikiesboy! I think they must meet again. We shall just have to see when they can manage it.

Thank you so much, Robin! This is one of my fav shorts.

Keep reading!

Lots of angst in this one, and it's a few years old so forgive the editing.

​This one is me... reaching for the next author to screw up in the moderation queue! Muahahahahahahaha Happy Halloween

The sky shimmered as the veil between the planes was inundated with the magic of All Hallows Eve. My feathers swirled the cloud vapors, gathering droplets before they could fall to swell the waterfall that sent lifegiving magic through the realms. I was going to pass through this time. I’d been forbidden before, but now nothing could stop me. I had transformed into an Earth creature and could blend in. Tonight I was going to have an adventure. Skimming past the clouds, I turned toward the water

This year I wouldn't be denied. It was All Hallows Eve and the magic to transform and pass through the veil between worlds would be mine. No matter how many times my mother warned me, I just had to see the human realm for myself.

Did you find the time to read Dayne Mora's Wolf Like Me? Or re-read it? Because today's the day to share your love! Check out the feature from October 3rd if you need incentive. Otherwise, make sure you don't spoil it for readers who haven't had a chance. If you have something you want to share that might reveal too much, use the spoiler tags. Simply type [spoiler ] and your text then [/spoiler ] without any spaces between the brackets and the words and your text will disappear. Everyone can enjoy the interview I did with Dayne, though! What’s something personal about you people might be surprised to know? That’s a tough question to answer since y’all already know the surprising personal thing (that I write gay romance/erotica). Everything after that is kinda…meh. I do have a weird talent—I can read upside down and backwards. What’s one location you’d love to go to research for a story? Somewhere lush and green, with lots of flowers. But no bees. Those things scare the hell out of me. If you had to only work on one project for the next year... what would it be? I’ve been working on a story about a “Gary Stu” character whose life is turned upside down by a well-meaning god of romance. It’s the first time I’ve planned out a story before writing it, so I’m anxious to see how it goes. Do you write steadily each day or in a flurry of inspiration-filled moments? Totally in a flurry. I sometimes frustrate myself if I schedule my writing. One day, I wake up ready to go, the next day, I can’t get into it until I sit down to dinner. Right now, the computer is getting in my way, and I’ve been getting more done with a pen and paper (which is not my norm at all). You said your characters inspired Wolf Like Me (formerly Efrain and Cory) and forced you to write. Did you use any visual inspiration for the characters, or did you see them vividly in your head? I saw them in my head. The first glimpses were rather fuzzy, becoming clearer as their narrative evolved. By that point, I’d become possessed and felt compelled to exorcise the scenes playing in my mind. Explain your title. You went from the character names to a title that might indicate a paranormal theme. When did you get the inspiration to change it and why did you pick that? The title comes from “Wolf Like Me”, a TV on the Radio song about giving into one’s animalistic sexual urges, which fits Efrain quite well. I’d always been dissatisfied with “Efrain and Cory”, and had been tossing around title ideas for a while. About the time that I decided to split the story up into a series and was working on a title for the second book, I decided to rename the first book and use the original title for the series (which eventually got changed to EPIC). The next book titles will refer to Indie and Preston. Bad jokes… a habit of yours or just your characters in this story? Both. I also give people weird nicknames in real life, too. I even warn my students about it when I introduce myself. If you had to pick celebrities that could play your characters, who would you pick? Why? Efrain – William Levy has the face and body, but also looks like the kind of guy who’d take a bite out of you. However, if this were to be narrated or animated, I’d want Freddie Prince, Jr. (who has voiced some of my favorite male characters). Cory – I try not to, but Channing Tatum always comes to mind with Cory. The looks are there, but Tatum seems like an approachable and likeable person. Plus, he has the moves (Magic Mike, anyone?). Chris Evans also works, especially with his comedic ability. Preston – Jason Carrion (better known as April Carrion) is as pretty out of drag as he is in it, and has that right amount of sass and sweetness. Indie – I’m still out on Indie. The closest I can get is Leo Moricchioli, a Norwegian musician who makes metal covers of non-metal songs. The guy is amazingly talented, and a total goofball. He’s almost like an older bizzaro world Norwegian breeder version of Indie. If you could say one thing to readers about Wolf Like Me, what would it be? My favorite scene would have to be Efrain and Cory’s first hookup—the scene that started it all. I was only writing it down to get it out of my head, but was so hot I couldn’t stop. Funnily enough, it even got my husband (who is hella straight) hot and bothered. (Yeah, the hubs read the first four chapters.) Book 2 of your series, E.P.I.C., that started with Wolf Like Me has a story in progress at 20k+ so far. Do you foresee this book hitting the 100k+ count that the first story did? Possibly. There are a lot of things in the works for the titular characters—more antics, more sex, more BAM! GAY DRAMA!—that I might end up hitting that mark even in a third or fourth book.

Thank you, Mickmouse. Unfortunately, I'm a migraine sufferer. I'm the opposite. I usually can't stand the feeling of too much on me because my skin is hyper sensitive too.

You went from Book 1 to Book 3, though. Did you skip Book 2 (Two of a Kind) or just read it so fast you didn't review?

Thank you for reading and reviewing, Robin!!!! (hug)

LOL!!! Yay?

A kid of the 80s and 90s in a town of 600 people... no way did I come out as bi. A few years ago, I was sitting in the Café in my hometown when this kid came in totally decked out in rainbows--apparently he was publicly 'bisexual'. It was one of those 'big things' where everyone knows and whispers about it, but he wasn't hounded out of town. Acceptance? Grudging, at most, but apparently he was pretty sassy and gave as good as he got. I still felt bad for him. Being the town curiosity isn't an easy way to grow up either. I'm waiting for the day when people can just let everyone be themselves and not care. In Small Town, America, that's probably still a ways out (especially down south) but it's a goal. What I think we need to remember, though, that it isn't just these kids' generation making the changes in our world today. Who is teaching this generation to be tolerant and accepting? That's right, ours!
