Hey-ya - thanks for reviewing! I'm glad my emotional descriptions seem realistic to you. Its a big part of my writing ... so huge compliment thanks Another chapter is almost finished, just editing. But ... um ... well ... I have to be honest it ain't exactly 'positive'. It'll get more positive I'm sure ... just not in the next chapter ...

Well that was a subdued review by your standards bugeye *cries* .... (joking) ... Thanks of course

Who isn't crazy these days!! glad u got a surprise ... More coming soon

Awwww ... well you used your story review so that only works once as i understand it. next time i annoy you you'll have to post somewhere else. Maybe.

Maybe. Or maybe Penelope has her reasons

No spellbound is awesome I like that word hehehe .... I especially like 'it's what's happening between Blake and haze' - others tell me nothing is happening!

Hmmm you make some good points. But maybe its just that the experience is pleasurable? Or maybe its just a task orientated activity that forces one to focus on the outside and not get lost in your mind? Or maybe it's the lack of O2 to the brain I always get a little light headed myself hehehe

Hmmm ... Other people say they can't guess what's happening next but I'm starting to think you can .... Or u r cheating hehe ...

Oh I think so, definitely ... you have this character all figured out already bugeye Then again most of my profession are anxious control freaks LOL and most of them worry over every little detail. Law is about getting it right, nailing it down, getting the answer, getting your way ... all of which is about control. No room for mistakes or your looking at a negligence suit. But you dont need to be a lawyer to fail on the self analysis scoreboard. Most human beings are bad judges of themselves, no matter how smart they may be when it comes to assessing others. I reckon thats Blakes story ... maybe ... at least so far hehe

Bonds are formed when people share secrets huh? Even when its accidental. And lets face it, Blake wasn't gonna share willingly!

Monster33 did write a pretty comprehensive review huh ... but I like yours too ... every review I get reminds me I really ought to be writing more! New Chapter coming soon ...

I'm really enjoying you progressivebreviewing bugeye. It's helping me to remember where I was at, at the time and what readers are thinking. The two people theme becomes more apparent but ... People see in others what they know or think about in themselves. Your onto sumthin there ... But peace? In chapter 4? No chance

Thanks again bugeye .... Vivid storytelling is something my school teachers used to say ... Not in a good way. Actually my ex said that too. Hmmm and my boss. None of whom have ever read my writing!

Thanks again bug eye ... But it's not all THAT quirky I have to confess ... I mean I'm a lawyer and love diving and on average I imagining quitting law to become a diver at a remote resort about twice a day. More so in winter ... So not totally "creative writing" on that point LOL

Hey bugeye thanks for the review! chapter one was a while ago now, cant even imagine what I was planning back then hehe but glad you liked the writing. The place ain't real 'fraid but plenty of stuff like it in OZ ~ you should check it out one day (disclosure: I do NOT get a referral fee from the Australian Tourist Board)

Wow what an awesome review. Thanks What can I say I'm blown away by your kind words. Names can be a pain huh? I didnt start posting until chapter 5 and before then I changed Haze's name like ten times. It really was Hayden, but then I decided that was what his mother called him and so blake couldnt call him that and then it just became haze all the time. The plan was to switch to hayden for some romantic-ie reason that never happened. anyway. If I could change the name now I would if for no other reason than because sometimes when I am stuck on a sentence, mulling over grammar or choice of a word the fact that haze is actually a word confuses me (and confuses MS Word's grammar function too). But I never moved from Blake. I liked that name. Thats not so unusual surely. Anywayz thanks for reading and reviewing.

Right away is tough ... There ain't 24 hours between your review of the first and latest chapter I can't write that quick but I am writing as quick as I can

Hey cool thanks glad you like not even I've read it in one sitting so you must be a fast reader hey ... Wot a place to get to in one sitting - a cliff hanger d'oh dontcha hate that? Worse is when the author goes on a sabbatical ... Dun worry I'm not doing that but. Thanks for the review!!

Mwaahaha yeah I was aiming for a shock at the end better stop doing that or else people will come to expect it ... hmmm. Glad you liked the desert romp, at least bits of it were based on a ATV day I did in carins but there was no hot boy just a friend of mine and she loved it where as I didnt like the dirt LOL ... I am not gonna answer your other points cause I don't wanna give anything away

On reflection you are probably right. Too much psychoanalysis and psych-text book lecturing. It was cut down from were I started but it was too slow compared with the pacing in other parts. Have to edit more next time. Hehehe ... as for your questions ... all will be revealed

Awesome a new reader yay! I can barely remember the first chapter but after just finishing the 12th It's occured to me there's probably more questions by now not less . Anyway thanks for reading and reviewing!

Blake was feeling cautiously optimistic as he arrived at work on Friday. He’d gone to bed the night before with a sense of dread for the coming morning, but that had so far proved unwarranted. He had managed to go about his morning routine in pretty much the same way as the day before, barely noticing the absence of the medication. Perhaps he really didn’t need it after all? He made a beeline for Nats who greeted him with her typical enthusiasm before launching into a tirade about a friend of

Heya ... thanks for the review! I'm so glad you like my story! Sorry to disappoint but it takes heaps longer to write than to read I next chapter is coming its just taking a bit longer cause its another long one. About 6000 words so far and still not done. Hopefully this week I'll post chapter 12. Stay tuned!

Thanks! I am rather proud of that bit Plenty more anxious Blake coming ...

Thanks for your review dude ... more dialogue huh? Probably due for some hey ... I'll work on that
