    Thanks, Lisa! And thanks for your editing input. I agree with you about second chances, although in some cases they aren't warranted. Hence my question... does Ivan deserve a second chance? I think so. He's made an effort to change through therapy and medication and I think he's genuinely regretful as far as his treatment of Kenny. Thanks for the review!

    I agree... I think that Ivan is on the right track and genuinely remorseful. Thanks so much for the review.

    Thank you for such an insightful review. Ivan was part of a cycle of violence. Now that he's been educated and received therapy and medication, hopefully it will be enough for him to change. I do think that Ivan has a chance and I hope that he and Dana are able to make it work. Thanks again for the review.
  4. Thanks so much, Caz. As I mentioned in previous reviews, I am planning on continuing the story. I had so much fun writing it and there's a lot more to tell. Thanks for the review!
  5. I'm glad you gave the story a chance and that you liked it. I do have plans to continue it. Thanks for the review!
  6. Awww... your review made me tear up a little. I agree with you 100% about GA. I feel so at home here, and it's a rare feeling for me. Thank you for reading and reviewing.
  7. Thanks so much. I am definitely planning on writing more about FA.
  8. I have to agree with you about Legolas I'm glad you liked George and got the Mr. Tumnus reference. lol I had a lot of fun writing this story. Thanks for the review. I'm glad you liked it!
  9. Thanks for the reviews. I'll reply to them shortly.
  10. I love how the story was born out of a random thought. Inthemindofsunshine's Paradox series is one of my site favorites too. Great interview.
  11. Merry Christmas!!
  12. Happy Birthday, tim! I hope your birthday is as awesome as you are!! Here's a book cake for you

    Chapter 1

    This was a really cute story. There were a lot of nice elements, from the "It's a Wonderful Life" type moral to the more comedic antics of the boys. I found the description of Max searching the computer quite poetic. And, of course, I liked the reference to my hometown You also included my absolute favorite Christmas carol with the flash mob. That part actually brought tears to my eyes. I'm glad I saved this to read 'til now. It was the perfect way to spend some time this afternoon before heading off to see family. Merry Christmas, Geron!
  14. My cousins did this for my uncle after he was diagnosed with cancer. I don't remember what kind of car it was, but they wanted him to enjoy it for as long as he could since he loved old cars.
  15. Happy Holidays to all!!
  16. No offense meant I don't think I've read many of your stories (I'll have to add them to my list ). I was just teasing you. I wasn't sure how to treat the translations, since this is the first story I've written with them. I don't really like the parentheses because it feels unnatural to me, but all my editors and beta readers thought they were ok, so I left it as is. Reading how you treat them will help me for the follow-up stories. The other story I am planning would pick up after Matthew moves in with the markwarden and the subsequent fall-out. Thanks for your support.
  17. You are very perceptive, droughtquake As of right now, I have plans for two more stories in this universe. I won't say much other than that, because I don't want to give anything away. Anyway, I'm curious as to why you wouldn't have read these. Are you not a fan of the fantasy genre? I'm glad you did, because like I said in my reply to your other review, I enjoy reading your insights. Sorry the German was confusing. I put the translations close to the text because I dislike having to scroll to the bottom of the page to know what characters are saying (sorry, Tim ). Thanks for the great review.
  18. Thanks so much I do plan on continuing this.
  19. Wow...that's high praise, Tim. Thanks for such a great review. I never envisioned this story taking off the way it did after I started writing it. I loved writing it and you'll be happy to know that I have plans for at least two more stories in this universe, one of them being how Avid and Isaiah met. I think your questions about what happened to Isaiah should all be answered when I write that story. I guess I didn't make it clear in this story, but it was the chiristowarden that 'cleansed' Isaiah. There's so much more I could have written, but needed to find an ending point for the antho. Like I said, I do plan on continuing it. Thanks again for the review!

    Thanks for the review. I like to think that redemption is possible. Ivan is educated about his issues now and clearly remorseful. Hopefully Dana is enough motivation to keep him on the right track.

    Thanks for the review, Tim. I agree with you and think they are both motivated enough to continue working through their issues to make the relationship work. Hopefully they will be successful.
  22. I figured you knew. I didn't know until I looked it up. I took four years of French in high school, but only a couple of months of German in eight grade. I thought the German made a better surname. Thanks for the recommendation and warning about Prophylaxis. I'll add it to my reading list.

    I think your review is pretty spot-on. I agree with you about Ivan. I do think he's changed, too. The real test will be when he and Dana have problems in their relationship. Hopefully his counseling and medication will help him deal with any issues in an appropriate manner. I'm optimistic about the future for them. Hopefully that optimism is justified. I love reading your reviews. You always put so much thought into them. Thank you for that.
  24. I'm glad you liked it. I had a lot of fun writing this story. I do have plans for more FA stories, so I'm happy you liked it enough to want more. You caught the Mr. Tumnus reference... well done! lol Do you know the meaning behind Dr. Schmetterling's name? I'll have to check out "Prophylaxis" now. Thanks so much for the review.
  25. I'm glad that reading the Advent Calendar led you read my antho stories. I'm sorry to hear about your friend. Addiction is a terrible thing. Thank you for sharing.
