Yes, that must be why he was shocked! Could there by another photo for that scenario? If so, then we could put all the pieces together and solve the mystery!

I feel a book coming on...

Uh yes... Another book! Can't wait! XD

PUCK NO WAY I AM IN LOVE WITH SHAKESPEARE

Yup, it's Puck. By the way, freaking autocorrect decided the right way to spell the artist's name was the wrong way, grrr. It's Arthur Rackham, not "Packham" (it just tried to change it again - argh!).

:)) Thats fine i sort of understood

Thank you for reading it! Of course, it's just the intro - I'm still working on the actual chapters, but I hope to get to them fairly soon.

Thanks again! I'm glad you enjoyed it so far. ')

Thanks, Pat! I honestly think I love doing research as much as I love writing, lol. I appreciate your encouragement, and as always, got a welcome chuckle, especially from the Anne rice inner dialogue! 'D

Strangely enough, I was reading through this Prologue just last night because I'm thinking of putting together a collection of my vampire/werewolf tales, and was checking to see how far I'd gotten in each. So far, only one is finished ("Alcohol, Tobacco, and Blood"), two of them need only another chapter or so ("Scratch That" and "Bite Me"), and rest need more extensive, er, extension.

Anyway, thanks again - you're a peach! ')

"Bite Me"...that's vintage Judy, lol. I don't recall reading either of the two you mentioned! Must take some time...

The photo on the cover of "Bite Me" is my daughter, Lily; she used to be into photography and that was one of her self-portrait pictures. Something about her expression made it perfect, but her only reaction when she saw that I'd used it for that book was raised brows and a monotone, "Really?" 'D

Willow the Vampire, you say? Hm. I stand appropriately chastised, madam, and will immediately look into said Willow's stories. No doubt, I'll find them entertaining! "D

Entertaining, educational for anyone called Van Helsing and virtually bracket-free for the benefit of middle-aged grandmothers reading this to younger members of their clan, coven or werewolf pack as bedtime story fodder. Willow, like Dracula when he was still in short trousers and J Colella, when she was sipping her coffee last,, would say that "It's not what you think that makes you a vampire. It's the fangs that put the bite into your writing."

Well said! And, as a fellow vampire-story-lover once said, fangs a lot!

Sorry about all the brackets, by the way. They're the way scripts and screenplays give directions, and I didn't know how else to do that, lol. On the bright side, the side that tells me "bracket" is just one letter away from being a type of foliage, I feel I can blame everything on the medication, haha!

No, huh? Anyway, I found the books about dear Willow on your profile page, and as soon as some money posts to my checking account later this week, I'll be purchasing the first one - sounds like tons of fun! When I was a child, one of my favorite books was "The Little Witch" by Anna Elizabeth Bennett, so I have a feeling your story will be right up my proverbial alley. Can't wait to get it!

One of them is available for free, so you could get your bookworm fangs into that? It's just a fun short story that I once wrote for the real Willow. Yeah, I realised the brackets were supposed to be Hollywood scriptwriter instructions, but it does get in the way of the jokes in the dialogue. Probably works better when you have two people actually read the dialogue out loud and a third person say the stuff in brackets, like a really irritating producer...or script editor at the first reading.
