    Yes, yes, my name is Laura Cliffhanger, actually... you've found my true identity - my villain identity, lol. All I need is a mask now! No, the story won't take that tangent, I promise you

    Oh, l'enfant terrible strikes again... Wen saw his brother in the bunny outfit because he took pictures in the past, pictures he put on Xpress. Of course, at the time, he didn't know it was Hearst inside that outfit. Jamie tends to be... ah, I shouldn't say naïve, but when you've been chasing a dream for sometime, you might clutch at straws. I've seen people doing it in real life, people no one would expect to be gullible or prone to just shooting themselves in the foot. Too bad the story is pretty much written. No amazing drumstick act I'm afraid. And no royalties for you, either, lol.

    Jamie needs to stop being stubborn, and I agree. Hearst will have to play his part... and Wen, well, Wen seriously needs a reality check. Whether he learns something out of it or not, it's up to him.
  5. Chapter Forty-One – The Dark Side of Jamie Vayne “Pick up, pick up, pick up,” Hearst repeated the command like a mantra, pressing the phone against his ear, as if that would help convince the person at the other end to answer their phone. He didn’t have a plan; at least, not one he could call a foolproof plan. Before he started digging, the way his brother claimed a bona fide journalist should be able to dig, he needed to contact Jamie and warn him about those fuckers at LiveFeed. The

    I'm glad that you mentioned the butt-sniffing stuff, lol. Actually, I'm keeping that expression for a certain scene... that I'm going to use in... a... sequel... Jack covers the word 'quirky' down to a tee! But he's going to stick around...

    It's funny that I'm currently writing about doggos when I'm totally a cat person, lol. But that exaggeration with perfume and whatnot is something I hate, too. There are no distinctive notes anymore if you douse yourself with it! Where I live, we consider that a lack of manners... Ryder's nose doesn't lie!
  8. Ryder-Danny sounds like a good name for a team! Thank you for your comments! They are all much appreciated! Also, under a dog is a great pun. Very accurate. Outstanding. Chef's kiss.
  9. I don't think I'd ever be so cruel to readers - and/or my characters - to throw that much of a big fat red herring... But it's nice to have a bit of doubt, I guess it makes things a bit more exciting, a bit more interesting. And I love it when readers join a character in his ups and downs, and in this case, Ryder when he likes Danny's smell, and Danny, when he feels so attracted to this stranger who seems too good to be true!
  10. S for Serenity... he-he-he... sometimes it might be S for s-chaos, or shenanigans... One thing that often motivates me to write something is that I can't find the sort of story I'd like to read while browsing through various offerings in a certain genre or sub-genre. And I just like the idea of a 'fish out of the water'. Then I had the image of a wolfshifter coming to a big city and having sort of a cultural shock. After came the idea of an anchor in this chaotic world, and that was how Danny formed himself in my mind... and after, the story happened!
  11. Yes, there will be clues! The only POV will be Lyn's, but even so, from the corner of one eye, or simply through what is said, I'm sure the readers will come up with their own conclusions Or speculations! Just saying!
  12. Lyn is very good at tormenting himself without any help! But yes, he's going to develop a hopeless crush... and he's going to keep to it.
  13. Hey, it might be a sound strategy, lol! You might even earn yourself a nickname - that guy who carries stuff! Also, it might serve as an icebreaker... such as... why are you called that? :))
  14. Chapter Two – [Memory, Freshman Year, September] – The One A Rulebook for Arguments, An Introduction to the Study of Law, Logic: A Very Short Introduction… It looked like he had everything he needed to start his already packed schedule. Lyn balanced the textbooks on his arm, while struggling to get the hair out of his eyes and push his glasses up on his nose so they didn’t end up shattering on the polished floor. Hell knew where he’d get the money for new ones if that happened. Tangle
  15. It's going to be an interesting meeting, and that's all I promise!
  16. Like Occam's razor, yes, I'm happy someone thought of this. Pembroke is essential for the story, too, and he also holds some clues that will help Ryder distinguish the truth better and better.
  17. That's one important question! And they will have to go down that path at one point...
  18. Pembroke will have his own fair share of revealing to do... Ryder will learn a thing or two.
  19. Jack has all the cards, he can't be lied to :))
  20. Cassandra is more of a witch, and I'm saying it with all the lack of love I can muster. Ryder will actually hear some hard truths about her from the least expected source...
  21. That would solve the entire plot in about two paragraphs! Hmm, let me check Jack's cards real quick. Nope, it's not going to be so easy
  22. Jack will continue to wear him down... and so will his growing attraction toward Danny.
  23. I find it sometimes that people with a consistent moral backbone also tend to be a bit rigid in their views. Ryder doesn't allow himself to have doubts because of the curse he knows of. It's something along the lines of: 'if it were only about me, I'd listen to my heart, but it's not, and I can't be selfish'.
  24. In this story, maybe more than in others, the characters are bound by fate. Ryder may protest all he wants and doubt Jack's cards and what they say, but fate will play out as it intends. The great reveal of Ryder's nature to Danny will happen in a moment of high emotional intensity, and I like to think you'll agree with me that it is just right (or how fate intended, lol - I can always say 'fate made me do it'). Vince will have his own reveal moment, but not I'll shut up
