Good to see a little shout out to Olive Ruskettle at the ball!
And the more I read , the more familiar I am feeling towards one of the foxy ladies in this story....but maybe I am delusional!
The whole Ball scene is a blast, even after on of the ladies is turned into a blood fountain. It was sexy, fun, filled with innuendo(much like a restrained version of Ed)....then a sexy shapechanger seduces another luscious lady and then....Wham.....she's dead! Blood eveywhere. |

Well you know how it is--sex for dinner, death for dessert.
I'm glad the twilight ball worked out for you, and keep reading! All (or at least many) of your questions will soon be answered.
Cheers |

"Gargan vathkelke kaugathal"
I just started the book yesterday and I couldn't put it down. I've read up to chapter 27. Erik, this is one fine book so far! You hoped that you wouldn't disappoint and you certainly have not! I can't believe the number of Easter eggs you've thrown at us! I can't wait to read on! This novel has more twists and turns than Ghostwalker or Depths of Madness. This is going to be a long day at work....I can't wait to go home and finish it!

Yay! Glad it's working out for you.
Let me know how you like the ending, and--as always--if you like it enough to post a review, by all means, do so! We fledgling writers drink those things like healing waters.
Cheers |
