Oh poor Miuna. I liked her. You killed your darlings!!! I love the secret language Jarod and Parker have, and that she came prepared for war. I like that Lyle came in too. Jarod has to go back to the Centre now. Parker has let Jarod walk away so many times and Sydney is hospitalized? and not there to intervene or even try. Ooh, can't wait. I've always wanted to see Parker and Jarod back in the Centre at the same time both working... or will she go free now that she's returned Jarod? Can't wait!!

Lyle stopping to say "no offense" to Broots about the cosplay quip IS GENIUS! I love that Broots dressed up as Ziggy! I love that you don't disparage cosplay. You are really young aren't you? You're at least 18 aren't you? I will worry if you're younger considering some of the things you've written.. I guess I worry about you anyway. I worry. It's what I do. Just can't get over Ziggy comment. No one is ever going to top that line. Even Lyle appreciates Bowie, as it should be.

Take a bow Mirage.

I'm reading from the beginning again probably for the eight time. It never gets old. Your prose is delightful, lyrical, and not a word is wasted. You're a wordsmith and a rockstar. I love this plot and can't get enough.

Woo hoo! This is how it's done. You blow me away again and again.

Miss Parker makes an appearance.. and what a hell of an appearance it is. She's perfect, huh! She write them so well. Too well maybe? You really have a knack for characterisations, setting up the scene, and maintaining my excitement all throughout the story. Needless to say I want more. Now. Write young lady!

Ahhh. My heart. You really do an amazing job with all aspects of writing. What I always notice the most is characterizations. That one can make or break a story for me no matter how well written because if I don't recognize the characters, if I don't see and hear Jarod, Lyle, Parker, Sydney I can't read it. You do that brilliantly. The only other time I see them this in character is in the TV series.

For me, it's almost as if some of the plausibility is hinged on the characters' explanations and reactions. The Pretender series on tv had some crazy stuff that stretched plausibility but it was plausible when Sydney or Jarod or Broots explained it in their technical intelligent terms. I love that I always recognize them when you write them. Thank you for that. You make it feel like the series never ended.

*Squees in lifelong, hardcore, diehard pretender fan*

Jarod getting all huffy like this.. ermagherd love it when he does it on the dvds too."a blind woman can even see" oh lordt! Makes my fangirl heart thump harder.

And shout outs to the motorhead tune. My girl Miuna was a metal head mechanic! Yahhh! Please say there'll be more flashbacks to her and how it all unfolded. I love it. Jarod's going back to the Centre. I can't wait. I always wanted to see him back there while Parker is there, too, long term thing. Make it happen please. Love you!

Girl! OMG! I read all three chapters and I want more!! I love Jarod so much and you write him so exactly like him and you do it with all of the characters. But he's my favorite so I don't really care how well the others are written lol. The other characters don't interest me. Miss Parker is such a bitch.. and even her name.. Miss? WTF? Who is she kidding? She's not a queen.. and she only acts tough. Like a dog who snarls and barks and then when you keep getting closer it just pees on itself and starts whimpering... because it's really so scared. I hate her. I'm only interested in Jarod! It's like he's here while I'm reading!! Put more on here!!

Gonna repeat myself here but I love the crime suspense drama and you combine it with The,Pretender spectacularly.

Masterfully written... completely Gutted on Jarrod's behalf but he is clearly in love with Parker and even admitted it and feels like he cheated on her with Miuna ..ooh but I also love Miuna. I can't wait to see how this plays out to resolve... Jarod back in the Centre.. oh please yes .. and make him stay for a while please???

Oh, I have 3 chapters to catch up. This first one really gripped me. Can't wait for more!

I never get tired of reading you!!  You're not formulaic or pigeonholed and you branch out to genrebending and you love taking chances and pushing boundaries which is really what writing is about. That and having something else to say, something that means something, something to take away and learn and you always provide that depth so it's not just entertaining it's also important. There is beauty. You also are obviously educated and open minded and you nail the grammar and know how to transition and keep me hanging on in my chair. I hope you will always write for the fanmily.

Impressive as always, Mirage.

This is plausible, and each character is exactly spot on. You are  a gifted store teller and author. Thank you for sharing your natural talents with us and breathing new life into an old series'
