    Chapter 3

    Damn girl but that was one amazing chapter. Kaleb is such a complex character. Some of the things he says are so childish and childlike but having met his mother I wonder how much of that is because of her. I'm worried about Paul

    Wow that was intense. Chase is such a sweetie and, through him, I am half in love with Kaleb myself

    Very nice first chapter. What an interesting set of characters. I am warming to Chase already and Kaleb sounds like a sweetie

    Chapter 10

    I have no idea what you just said but thank you anyway I'm really glad you are enjoying the story and you can rest assured that both this story and its sequel are totally completed and ready to go so there will be no waiting for updates... well unless I lose internet connection or my mind. If I do lose my mind then Cia should have the manuscript and she can take over

    Chapter 10

    I absolutely adore Rover. He's loyal to a fault... just like a dog - except that he's not a dog; he's wolf

    Chapter 10

    Well, it depends on what you mean by 'street smart' As far as Glory is concerned, the 'pecking order' is that he's at the bottom and everyone else is trying to kill him. He has spent his entire life hiding from everyone and i guess he has no idea how life really works. I think that the whole dinner with Sar thing has got him a bit carried away and he's feeling that he 'has' Sar. He's also still scared of Valentine. He trusts Sar and he doesn't trust Valentine. I don't know. I agree that the fact he got hurt was inevitable and I guess he does have a strong feminine streak, I didn't really think about it. He just doesn't have any experience of people who aren't trying to kill him. It's a really good point though. I supppose it says a lot about the fact that I don't know much about alpha male behaviour myself

    Thank you hun, I really appreciate it
  9. HAHA that made me laugh. My daughter used say that. She picked it up off my mother who used it all the time...except, of course she used to say it right. To all intents and purposes. Double HAHA... when my son first said it; it was... To all in tents and porpoises.

    It's my pleasure hun; really. I love the fact that people like what I write and to have someone tell me so is always a thril.

    Chapter 10

    Rover has been a better friend to me than I could ever have imagined or hoped for. Sar left the same night and no one seems to know where or why. Well... I know why of course but I’m not telling. Although I have to admit that I was relieved that he had gone and I didn’t have to see him, it wasn't without its issues. For one think there was a distinct increase in hostility from Valentine, especially, I think because Sar had words with him about the Circus incident. The others have been slightl

    How incredibly awesome is it to write a wonderful poem that inspires another wonderful poem. Genius both of you.
  13. I was thinking... dangerous I know but... We are always vigilant for bad grammar in stories, also annoying phrases, innacuracies and all sorts of bad things. But what about dialogue? To use just one example What if a character says... "Look this just isn't good enough. I mean is just isn't is it? It's just..." Now usually I would try to avoid the word just if I could because... well it's just annoying isn't it. But what if my character uses the word a lot. I often base what my characters say on what people I know and hear say. It depends on the character but there are times when they just have to use it. Or what about characters who are plain and simple. They wouldn't use 'correct' words. They wouldn't say... that was simply not correct. They would say... that's just not right. One of my pet peeves is a character who is supposed to be grand and formal using slang, or a person who is simple or quirky or 'street' using stiff and formal language and words. You have to write to your character So what if your characters don't speak as proper as what you does? if you were reading a story and came across bad grammar in dialogue, would you condemn the story or recognise it for what it is... the way the character would speak? Thoughts ??

    Chapter 18

    Haha, thank you hun but you have to make sure you get your beauty sleep, especially now you have someone to be beautiful for.
  15. the only think I regret about the weekend vis a vis you two retrobates is that I didn't get to spend more time with it. I was SO pleased that I got to spend that extra time with you last night... even though it pretty much crippled me it was well worth it... especially the woman in the black dress. No, I have no idea how much she was charging but I bet she was worth it Paya the master photographer cracked me up and you coped with your fear of bridges very well, especially when I was threatening to throw you off it. I have never had so much pleasure from being abducted by two hunky guys and a tripod. Thanks guys and it's great that you are going to be permanently togther very soon but from a purely selfish point of view that will mean that there are less mushy posts for me to Ahhhh over
  16. They are when you are there hun
  17. I don't HATE it. That is such a strong emotion and wasted on a piece of drivel like this. The books are poorly written, the storyline is weak and the characters are two dimensional. The story is about 119 year old who still goes to high school and is crushing on a 16 year old... yeah... fab. There is enough angst in there to fill a small continent and Bella is the most irritating and frustrating character I have ever read. I'm sorry but there must be SOME lightness there somewhere or the character is completely flat and uninteresting. I think that if this work were published here then there would be criticism of every chapter. For a first work it's not too bad but there are many new authors on here who do better. And that's without the fact that VAMPIRES DON'T SPARKLE.

    You are always sweet hun. thanks for the review. I'm glad you like the story
  21. Thank you. I'm really glad you like it. I had a real soft spot for Marc in this one and I think maybe that came through in the writing.

    Chapter 9

    If ever I get published I will send you one I think that is pretty much the theme right now... control. Neither Glory nor Sar is showing much of it. Don't worry about Rover. Rover is going to be fine
  23. Irish is my vote but I find all African accents sexy... it's not so much the accent it's beautiful, rich, dark voices that speak them. Mmmmm. And those big brown eyes...
  24. Nope, not yet Go with the flow
  25. If you're going to London tomorrow you could join us for a drink tomorrow night if you like, I'm sure that no one will mind.
