Hope you're feeling better!

I didn't know you did stuff like this! Nice start!

Hmmm. Sure. He can still be alive. Why not? These guys live long lives. Wilfred would be a contemporary of Porvus and Lodda. They live, so why not the father of Snave and Thorvil? We'll see what happens the next time Jamie and friends come to call.

I saw Scooby in cable reruns in the late 70s. Those cartoons had a very distinctive look to them. You don't forget that!

Browbeat says they drive like THIS where he's from!

Browbeat has seen that one. He wanted to know why Indiana Jones got demoted in rank!

That looks very much like a Scooby Doo ghost!

Really? Then I would have made you piss your pants the way I drove my Bee when I was a teen!

Why, Charlie and Kippy would love him, just as I did! Seems Killian has a little skwish thing of his own going on!

Twombly!

A tale of becoming, wrapped in a mystery. Of becoming aware, of becoming accepting, and of becoming the person you were meant to be. An exceptional cast of characters, both lovable and frightening, navigate their way through this outwardly straightforward tale that hides multiple layers of meaning beneath, with a climax that will leave you gasping for more. Hmm. Maybe I should have said that a little differently? A great tale, well-told, that should go on the 'to read' list of anyone who enjoys mysteries with a heart and a soul. I can't recommend this one more highly.

Anytime you read a story and the characters become people you like and want to know (or hide from), you've made a new friend in the author. An excellent, well-told tale. I enjoyed every second of it, and would love to see more!

Killian's father was a real piece of work. Blaming the world for one's own stupid conduct is the mark of a weak mind.

I was impatient with a few of Killian's decisions and actions, too. But that's the way people are in real life. Indecision, impulsiveness, and occasional blindness are traits of just about every teenager on the planet!

After eliminating Killian's dad, Todd was about the only one left who displayed enough anger to be the killer. Though...some of the things Jake did left me wondering. I even suspected Gilly at one point, but quickly dropped that. The 'leave me alone' statement of the killer muddied the waters a little. Interestingly, I never considered either of Jake's parents. Their parts were too small to be the killer. I'd settled on a member of Jake's family as the killer early on. Anger boiled in all of them, it seemed. They seemed a strange family, and displayed a lot of the traits of a dysfunctional one. But I was still somewhat surprised that it WAS Todd at the end. Very tight, dramatic chapter, and a fine final confrontation with the killer. Excellent story. One chapter to go!
