He's in a contemporary romance that's steeping in the back of my mind. He appears to be Army CID - a former SF guy who transferred out. I'm going to hook him up with a stay-at-home mother and officer's wife - a widow with a teen-age son who blames her for his father's death. <br /><br />Leo will earn his keep.<br /><br />Oh, okay - I've seen a spike in my blog traffic in the last week - now I know where it is coming from. <br /><br />Glad you like my blog - I've put yours in my RSS feed - it's easier to read as email.<br /><br />Later!K.

I'm sure he doesn't need any encouragement to harass you about getting back to his story.<br /><br />You commented on posting Ray's video on your blog. Always curious about other writers who post there, I clicked your name... and poof! The rest is history. :)Jean Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02047709505502621618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955548665653773708.post-69779424478020165722010-01-27T09:51:20.246-05:002010-01-27T09:51:20.246-05:00How did you find me on FTQ?

But then, I haven't cut many characters, so it might be a little more complicated than that. But you ALWAYS have to take things away from them. They need to be stripped of their powers before going in the discard pile, else they'll have the means to get out again ;) That's why I just kill them off most of the time, as opposed to cutting them completely.Spammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06957266031658133056noreply@blogger.com
