I wanted to include Ben and Zev but felt it was too crowded for this epilogue. They didn't protest. Whi knows, maybe a short stand-alone story featuring them will pop up some day. 🤷♀️
I still think we may see Kage again someday. My brain keeps seeing him and Lucifer together wreaking havoc in Hell. 😈😂🤣
I always try to come full circle with my story endings. It's just one of those little author quirks.
Thanks for reading and until next time.. 😘
I look back on Tattoo with love. Despite all its imperfections structure and grammar-wise, the characters will forever hold a special place in my heart.
I've learned so much along the way. The biggest lesson was the hardest- how to write something that breaks my heart. #Kage💔
Maybe one day I'll earn that 'Signature Author' badge.
It was with a sad, yet happy heart that I marked this one 'complete'. It's consumed a helluva bug chunk of my spare time (and maybe more than "a few" work hours. Lol). But all good things must come to an end. There are other stories waiting in the wings, impatiently nagging me to get writing. (Which I did a little of today).
Starting a new story is like the first few months of dating. You gotta get to know each other in order to be comfortable. I was really comfie with all these guys, so breaking in new characters will be a period of trial and error.
I want Nat to let me stay at the beach house. Lol.
Reilly has made huge strides in discovering who he was meant to be. At heart, he is a nurturer. Sebastian being comfortable with who he is helped his mate come out of his shell.
This story truly is a tale of filling the void with a chosen family. With the addition of Tyler's clan, the dynamics of what we see as family just gets a little broader.
Reilly and Elijah are the types of souls who journey through lifetimes finding each other in some sort of special capacity. They are soul mates in a different way.
Thank you for all your comments, feedback and encouragement along the way. If our paths ever cross, I'll buy the first round. ❤️
I have no idea how I squeezed everything into 3 stories. Although Shadow Effect was 40 chapters. That's a lot.
As for Spanish beach theme in Brazil? I've seen all sorts of beach decor in places hundreds of miles inland. Besides, doesn't Nat cover all of South America? Not all is Portugese. Lots of Spanish influence. 😉
Mags, thank you, thank you for your support. Publishing would take a lot more polishing, especially the first two stories. I may consider it one day.
I really hope I didn't leave too much hanging. I know there are a few things (Caleb's shooting was random, folks) that I've missed, but, eh... that's life.
I swear, there were times I messaged Gnomie, and was all, "did you see Mags' comment? She's freaking psychic!" Sometimes your observations just blew me away. ❤️
Thanks for the heads up. If I start a story with a beagle, I will drop it like a hot potato.
I can total get the premise of John Wick even though I won't watch any of the movies.
I'm usually one who waits for a story to be completed before I start, but there are a handful of authors I'll suffer thru waiting impatiently for the next chapter to post.
I'm trying out a new venture as we speak. I had 1.5 chapters already written. Now it's a waiting game to see if it's going to stick.
Thanks for bringing the rain with you. I hope you're not being tortured by the House of Mouse. If so, my condolences. If it weren't for the snowbirds, I'd visit the beach more often.
If only I could. I stop reading if the dog gets killed and I won't knowingly watch a movie either. I walked out of the theatre when we went to see the Will Smith movie and the German Shepard died.
Yes, it was a long road but the HEA finally happened.
The beautiful thing about going a series with so many characters is that everyone gets to have their favorite. They're all special to me, but Kage will always hold his own piece of my heart.
You're making me blush! I don't consider myself anything other than an okay writer who's improving her knack with words. That being said, I will always strive to do better and make my readers happy (mostly... I'm well aware of the torches and sharpened pitchforks).
I've loved having you along and look forward your periodic check ins.
😘
Yes, they can. I always like to hear from any reader. There are a few who pop up in my DM every once in a while, supposedly to say hi, but I'm guessing they really want a story update. LOL. Whatever the case may be, it's good to hear from them.
