Hi, NightWriter Although I am not a vampire fan, I liked this chapter. Probably because you seem to keep it so real and natural as you go. I love this line by the way:

"Hmmm. You're such a hunk when your fangs come out."

You definitely must do a lot of "vampire reading" like the twilight series because you have a good take on their behavior. Good writing...Bob

    Bob, I have a confession to make. I don't read a lot of vampire novels. The reason is none keep me interested -- in fact they bore me, LOL. That worries me because to be a good writer one needs to read in the genre of their interest. The genre interests me, but the books out there don't and I have looked for years. Some are better than others, but what forced me to start writing was that I needed a new take on this story. Now that I'm writing, I hope this difference is what helps separate my stories from the pack and allows them to be shared with others. I put the odds of success less than 1%, but it's been so much fun creating these characters and their worlds and with all the wonderful reviews here, it's already worth a fortune in personal satisfaction. Thank you for such an encouraging review Bob. :)

Oh Stan. Yep. Lori will know. LOL Women's intuition is right.

Another great chapter, and I am looking forward to more about the ghost. I like dthe humor about the movie and how Stan thought, 'you're wasting your time if you think this will teach you about vampires. '

Great job. :)

    LOL. I know, he's walking on thin ice especially with Brook living in the same suite. If temptation doesn't do him in, Lori will! :)

    Thank you for such a wonderful and encouraging review.

    Charlaine Harris stole all my good ideas, LOL. I actually wrote to her last year and said she and I shared many ideas and she said that's very common for writers to think similarly. She does go in different directions than m in many areas too, but she's one of the closest writers to my kind of thinking. I'm in good company and she is quite talented, and published. Thank you so much for your wonderful and encouraging review! :)

Then thing I never understood about vampires is the one vamp bites someone now there are two. They each bite; now there are four. They grow exponentially. At a rate of one per day, the entire world will be vamps in about 35 days. Then what?

Great story. The ending left us hanging.

I must tell you I am very upset with Stan. He's supposed to love Lori and playing around with Brooke just isn't right. I hope it has something to do with the ghost. Otherwise, he going to have to do a lot to make up for this. I am sorry it took me so long to respond but I've been without my computer for two days.

    Thank you so much Kathryn for your wonderful review! Nothing like a pinch of suspense to spice up a good story, LOL.

I love this story. The story has gotten so much more detailed in the last couple of chapters! Well done! I am angry with stan though. I really wanted to like him, but I guess every hero has to have a flaw. Keep up the awesome wrting.

    Thank you so much! Your review made my day. :) Stan still has some good qualities, and hopefully his faults will somehow come around and show him in a better light. Thanks again so much!

This work has reached the exceptional level

A very interesting chapter and a wonderful twist with the love triangle thing starting up. I think Jim will be none to happy if it comes to light. Excellent.

It looked as if she reached for the doorknob before going through the door. -- going through seems too natural -- passing through the unopened door ??

"Your fangs ... they're growing. Why are you looking at her neck like that?" -- Bam! I like it.
