Author's Notes
|
THE STORY/THE AUTHOR - Well now, I bet that was a jolt for you. We figured it might be. It wasn't the intent when we first plotted and outlined this story as we were writing Essence Pacified; it just kind of happened as we started developing this one fully. So I guess you will want to see what has become of us? Or will? You'll have to at least wait until the end of June. |

| FROM THE COLLABORATOR - Yes, I'm sure we gave all of you heart failure. This story truly took on a life of its own. I was more than curious to see how it was all going to turn out and I was sharing in the writing. And you can add a few more of those strange coincidences that seem to surround these stories to the list. In one chapter Colin mentions he's going to start filming a new project in Africa, a few days later the Collossus news hits the wires. In another, Diane has caught a cold and she's battling one right now. I do want to mention as well that Jack's motorcycle depicted in the story is the very same one that my DH owns, down to the color. He was very specific that I picked the correct one. For accuracy he claims, but he was quite tickled that I was using it in the story. Now you know we won't let you down, rest assured we have the next story in the works. |

STORY SIDE NOTES - Carranza Memorial - Whether you believe it or not, the plane crash phenomena does actually occur and I have heard it more than once in my life. |
| THE MUSIC - Twelve stories now and 360 songs. If you ever want one of them, or the list to go over for same, email me off site - diane@firthessence.net I no longer have the lyrics pages on any of the stories. If you'd like the words or the album info you can email me for that too. |
