You have no idea how much those words came back to bite me in the ass. Lol. I'm glad you're enjoying it. Kage is my favorite.

I don't think I could get rid of you lot if I tried.

Of course you did.

Geez... I sure as hell hope it won't be that long!

Having a good (if somewhat nutty) support team makes a huge difference. Although I may drop @astone2292 if he doesn't at least comment once on this ending. Geese. He better have a good excuse for his radio silence.

The muse is musing. Or is that amusing? 🤔 I'm glad you enjoyed the series.

Thanks, right now I'm mulling a few things over and tapping out a couple of chapters to see if it's gonna be a good fit. Sometimes characters start out with a bang and then go radio silent.

It's been an emotional weekend and I woke up with not the brightest outlook. I know things will get better but I'm going to take a moment to wallow in whatever these emotions are. I lost my job on Friday. It sucks knowing that I was good at what I did and I really enjoyed the residents I worked with. But over the past two years, the owner's focus flipped to home sales and my heart is just not into it. I did travel sales for 20+ years and am still burned out. I think it's better to not work for a company that covets profit over everything else. I've seen a change over the past few years and not a good one. Yesterday, I posted the last chapter in my shifter series. It's been over two years with these characters in my head. I feel like I've grown a lot as a writer. My comma problem has definitely improved, lol. I've learned that sometimes you have to make a heartbreaking choice for the betterment of the story. I'm going to miss these guys hammering away at my brain. It's not a great way to start the new year, but the job search starts tomorrow. Something will work out and I'm crossing my fingers it will be a much better opportunity, and I do have ideas for other stories. I hope you all have a good day.

I'm so proud to have a reader like you who has been with me since the first chapter of Tattoo. I don't know how long it will be before I post again, but I'll try not to make it a lengthy hiatus. 😍💕

Ok Reba

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. ❤️

And you're very welcome.

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. 😉

Of course.

Obviously you've never dealt with hormonal middle-schoolers. **shudders violently**

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. ❤️

Yep... great reverse twist. It's also flowing much better. Great job.

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.

I'm sure I'll come up with something.
