I just read FON and this chapter of the sequel and I'm excited to know how it will all turn out. Jarod is as bad as I always knew he could. I'm glad Parker isn't a Stepford wife. She is still her own person and seems challenging still!
I'm so impressed with your ability to take the dark parts of Jarod and turn them inside out so we can see them so clearly. He keeps his dark hidden well from people.
This was fast paced and visually appealing and SOOOOO professionally written. I want more and more. I will have to go back and review FON but no time now.

I heard the rumors but I didn't believe!
A sequel to Forces of Nature! FIIIIIINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is amazing, action packed, so brilliantly writing. Your writing voice is powerful! You have that ability to yank me in from the first word and hold my attention. I LOVE this! More please? Soon!

How did I miss an update from Mirage? A long awaited sequel to Forces of Nature. I can almost not believe it.
One hell of a ride this is!
This one's action and adventure right out of the gate. So much action and drama and your prose is beautiful, the plotting is genius, the setting of this is gorgeous. You touch all of the senses. This is an experience that leaves none of the senses neglected.
You leave no question about Jarod's frame of mind and the lengths he's gone to "PROTECT" Parker (from discovering what he has done to her!)
You really got inside the mind of sociopathJarod!
Sydney's confrontation is painful, and stunning.You really got inside the mind of Sydney in all his shrink glory!
Mirage, you are the best.
More please?

I was SO hoping you had updated this. I hope you're ok? You are missed so much.
Reviewer: Jami Signed [Report This]Date: 10/03/25 10:52 pm
Wow. So much wow Mirage. Finally. I didn't think you would ever sequel Forces of Nature and I'm so stoked for this. I don't know how I missed the update. I guess I only saw Rupture and didn't see another title beginning with the letter R.
I can't wait for more. I'm seat dancing over here. Stoked.
Thank you for writing. I've always wondered if you could leave Parker with Jarod like that. I'm so glad that Broots is honoring that promise. I remember it well. He threatened Jarod, warned him that if he hurt Parker again he would come after him.
There would have been evidence of a struggle right? Jarod wouldn't have time to clean a crime scene and the-rape (Dean Winchester quote) (watch supernatural?) Parker's mind like the shrink he is and escape the country with a child. Would there?
I guess there was at least enough evidence to make Broots think Jarod had hurt her because Broots is trying to help her now. Oomph. Oh gods!
This is so amazing, so perfect. The timing is perfect too for obvious Orwellian-dystopian reasons.
I wonder what Michael T. Weiss thinks of everything going on politically over in his country of origin. IMDB says he's in a movie with that orange florida guy and I remember he did a scathing interview talking about Cheney and the environment and it was awesome (dean winchester again, sorry). Michael
l said he was liberal and being liberal is good. And I'm like, yeah, I know baby and I love your liberal ass really liberally.
Is it true that you are uncomfortable when we mention Michael T. Weiss in your reviews?
Like are you afraid that if we talk about him he'll show up or something?
If that's true I'm sorry for mentioning him so much in this one. Dark ME thinks it would be kind of hilarious if he just logged in and told you "BOO!". (would that be scary?) (maybe on Halloween) but no, I love your writing. I need you now. I need you to update everything and write many more stories and then he can jumpscare you! no, i'm kidding. It would just be a Halloween prank maybe. NO, I'm JOKING. I love you. Stay. Don't be afraid.
I love you. Keep writing.

WOOT! You're finally doing it. I'm so shook and thrilled.
I've been wanting to see FON continue since you published the final 3 chapters. This is defo a continue of the Perdition ending. Your original ending.
I would be happy to read a continue or follow up to the other two endings as well if you'd like to write it hint hint no pressure.
Please update all of your stories soon.

Oh, I just opened Tashi's newsletter and so excited by all of the news of The Pretender and I missed this because I was away for sooo long Mirage. I have all the tingling feelings I would get when I watched our Jarod and MP on TV long ago. You bring it for me, the feellings, you give them back to me and they are alive and in motion when you write them. Thank you forever!

I haven't read Forces Of Nature in full yet but I did skim it and Jami has apprsised me of what happened in that story. I don't need to read FON to understand what is going on here.

It's an art form when you do it. You're a wordsmith and --gah, I can't even.

Thank you for continuing, for the sequel, for being you.

Reviewer: Sammi Signed [Report This]Date: 27/02/25 03:58 am
So I have a question. How do you do it? You're an author but how? How do you leave the rest of the world behind and get into the zone? I'm struggling so much to be able to sit and focus on the story and not think about my friends and family in the US and what President Space Karen and his pet orange menace might do next.
And vance was a Bowman!!!!!!!!!! from not really the appalachian mountains but ...he changed his name and I'm like OMG it's Bobby Bowman. He's Lyle. If Lyle was ugly and F(*cked couches. He probably murders mail order brides and isn't his wife Asian, too? I wonder if space karen and usha and melania will be deported too. Jus sayin.
See? I can't focus. I have people in the states still. How do you it? Please update this soon. I love your writing style and voice and am literally checking hourly for more.

Like....damn I still love this so much. And I sit here in 2025 with a blizzard that just happened in Texas (like happened in your FON that this story sequels) and like Michael t Weiss was totally all about the environment before it was cool to be and talked about planet friendly alternatives and not driving gas guzzlers and did you see the link I sent you that interview where he is clearly anti dick Cheney and OMG
I just love this fic and I just love love love would just love to hear from him about the current US administration cos he was legit in a movie with the te grabber in chief according to IMDb and I would love to hear his thoughts and opinions now .
The pretender was so what incel losers call "woke" now don't ya think?
I guess I want to know if Micheal is still a good person. How do you feel?
I hope you're well and will keep writing.
Reviewer: Leslie Signed [Report This]Date: 10/02/25 05:04 am
Correction..The blizzard that trapped Parker with Jarod in a cabin in the middle of nowhere in
TEXAS!
I first read this thinking "there are no blizzards HERE in Texas!"
And "Jarod would never be dark"
You were right by the way about everything.
Jarod was already dark.
Michael T Weiss said he wanted Jarod darker actually .. it's on those DVDs special features or commentaries.
Can't be darkER if he wasn't already dark to begin with.
Again love this!

Perfect timing Mirage!
A blizzard coming to Texas right freaking NOW! Just like a blizzard a year after you wrote it!
Just like in FON, the blizzard that trapped Parker with Jarod in a cabin in the middle of nowhere!
And a braggy racist rapist who was found guilty in court is being sworn in as potus and sworn about. I know I'm swearing!
Here you are with a sequel although you didn't want to write one!
HELL has frozen over!
It's official.
Hell=red states
Payback's a bitch.
The grabber is going to do everything to ruin the environment like republicans always do so there will be more man made human nature disasters . They get what they vote for
I'm glad you're doing this
I've waited so long!
Thank you

First I have to ask if you believe that Michael T Weiss is anything like we see on tv like did he seem like Jarod the character to you when you met him or any of your encounters with him? I always wonder if he's like the man we see on tv...,????
Next up o my GID I can't believe you are sequeling FON!
So timely when a rapist is being inaugurated today in the US and Snoop has sold out. Taylor Swift is more badass and gangsta than Snoop !
I'm scared of darkerjarod.
Back when you wrote FON I still saw Jarod as good but he's a vigilante and he crossed a line and you were right all along Mirage.
I will read this.
I have to. It's already amazing and exciting. Action packed .
More please!
Reviewer: Cal Signed [Report This]Date: 20/01/25 10:26 am
You always draw Jarod as imperfect and show his humanity and flaws. Life can't always align perfectly and he can't always get away with everything he does and always outsmart all of the surprises life throws.I hope Broots will honor the promise. It's such a twist. You were opposed to a sequel. It probably takes the sting out some for you that Broots will be the brain behind stopping Jarod to make it all worth it? It's so full circle in so many ways.
This is so realistic and plausible. This first chapter plunges me in to the scene. I can see the resort and slopes.
It's so professionally written, edited, and I love the action and the closeness between Jarod and Parker that shows the nature of their relationship. It's like they are in love and have a healthy relationship. But we know that's not true .
Sydney explained it all.
The baby was there as a trap. Sydney probably wanted to know how far gone his Jarod is and Jarod we see is long far gone. The violence of pushing Sydney is Jarod rejecting all of the past and fits in with this and what we know
There's so much to think about. I will write essays and journal this and think more .
There is so much more. I examine each word.
I wait impatiently for more .
Thank you
Congratulations!
I am thankful to and for you
