I just finished reading nearly all of your short stories in one day and this one definitly intrigued me the most. It was a little frustrating to have this sort of cliffhangers in the story and I was glad you already published part #3, but now I definitly want more~~~lol.<BR/>I also loved your roomie story - which was by the way unique. I haven't read anything like it before. And I definitly thought that your familiar story had a kinky side to it. I loved Roscoe!!! :)))<BR/><BR/>I think I change my post from before. I'm going to read whatever you dish out! Keep 'em coming!<BR/><BR/>...though more Darkyn is much appreciated..er, didn't I say that before?Tomohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16946346330338518378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-44879298741663502092008-05-08T15:16:00.000-04:002008-05-08T15:16:00.000-04:00HAHA.

I have those AND the Darkyn books on my keeper shelves. I agree with Casee, I don't know how you do it, but I'm amazed and grateful at the quality of each subsequent book.<BR/><BR/>I have STAR DOC in by tbr and I'm almost afraid to start it...

That used to make me nuts, and there was this one lady who would get on two stops after mine and always sit next to me and do it. Finally one day I brought an extra copy of the book I was reading and when she tried to read over my arm, I took it out of my purse and handed it to her. Then I said, "We're on page seventy-two." Cracked up these two guys who were sitting across from us and watching the whole thing.<BR/><BR/>She wouldn't take the book, and after that day she never sat next to me again, lol.the authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220786472896283714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-50089452203778519522008-05-08T00:14:00.000-04:002008-05-08T00:14:00.000-04:00Anonymous wrote: More sci fi in the vein of blade ...Anonymous wrote: <I>More sci fi in the vein of blade dancer would rock!</I><BR/><BR/>Adding that to the list, thanks. :)the authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220786472896283714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-81741776326622353482008-05-08T00:13:00.000-04:002008-05-08T00:13:00.000-04:00Elleno wrote: ...

You stumbled upon one of my plot seeds, which are character actions, dialogue or other easter-egg type items related to stories I've planned but not yet written. Which means Cella had an excellent reason to give Jayr that look, but until I tell Cella's story, I can't reveal why. :)the authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220786472896283714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-39834321394543595932008-05-08T00:05:00.000-04:002008-05-08T00:05:00.000-04:00Fritzz wrote: Have you ever considered a prequel t...Fritzz wrote: <I>Have you ever considered a prequel to the Darkyn?</I><BR/><BR/>I'm not a huge fan of prequels, but I did enjoy writing <I>Deimos</I>, which is (sort of) a prequel to <I>StarDoc</I>.

Hopefully, their story is not finished with the cycle of the three short one-shots.</I><BR/><BR/>That threesome (no pun intended) will be making a cameo appearance in my next free Darkyn e-book, <I>Incarnatio</I>. Due to the nature of their relationship, I seriously doubt NY would let me write a book about them for commercial print, but I can always write them in future e-books. I've also had several requests to expand their three short stories into novel length, but I'm reluctant to write over the same ground, so if I do another Juliana/Neal/Marcos story it would definitely be something new to show what they've been up to since <I>Wanted.</I><BR/><BR/>I appreciate the kind words for my other work, especially the nonfiction/writing projects. Early on in my career I was fortunate to have several writers act as mentors to me and help me through the worst of my rookie years, so anything I can do to help other writers is just paying it forward for what was done for me.the authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220786472896283714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-77221836396621670962008-05-07T23:34:00.000-04:002008-05-07T23:34:00.000-04:00Anonymous wrote: More Darkyn!!!

I think it's wonderful that you became a nurse, and now you have a writer in the family, too. I wasn't much older than your daughter when I began writing novels, way back in the Neolithic Age. :) <BR/><BR/>I never planned to be a professional writer when I was young, but writing followed me thoughout my life. No matter what I did, I always wrote stories, mainly to amuse myself. When I was diagnosed with RA, I knew any chance at the medical career I wanted was gone. Like you, I wore the apron for quite a few years after that, but took it off now and then to write. I thought as long as I was writing I might as well try to make a living at it, but still it took another ten years before I got my chance. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes I don't think writers have a choice; we have to write, or we're fated to write, or something like that. My own teenager just got her first paying writing job (without telling me; she used a pseudonym so she could get it on her own without using my name or having me help.) She loves animals and constantly talks about being a vet someday -- the same way I used to talk about becoming a doctor -- but she's always written stories and made books of her own ever since she learned how to write, and now I wonder.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thank you for finding me again, Dayna. I hope you'll stop by the blog when you have a chance.the authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220786472896283714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-5348594913804369172008-05-07T22:54:00.000-04:002008-05-07T22:54:00.000-04:00Maripat wrote: Yeah, I knew the last Stardoc novel...Maripat wrote: <I>Yeah, I knew the last Stardoc novel was coming but you know...seeing you mention it hear is making me sad.</I><BR/><BR/>It was a tough decision for me, too.
