"Dancing Lessons"

[Hope]

This may be my favorite story in Issue 27/2. "May" because there are just too many great stories to choose from!

Greg dances with the reader the way his heroine does with her prey...and it's a beautiful thing. I can't wait to see how this turns out! Beautiful characterization, nice rhythm, delicate foreshadowing and graceful plotting all left me wanting more...and soon. Here's hoping for the next installment in Issue 3!

Awww, thank you! This is actually the story that got me to decide it was time to write for StarRise again. I'd figured I didn't have anything else to tell, started thinking about how I'd left my Hold characters, and suddenly everything clicked into place.

Of course, Kara and Cyric are both demanding I change how things go, so where it will eventually end is starting to become a "your guess is as good as mine." I thought I knew, but... it's always those in the Holds messing things up, isn't it?

Ah...the sweet experience of characters taking the bit in their teeth. Wonderful, isn't it?
