Look at you go! Two story updates. I'm impressed as always with your writing style, the descriptive. The characters were pat perfect. You are so unique and original. You write eloquently and the transitions are so smooth. Your Miss Parker quips are your own. They are the best and you really know the characters....it's like you are a Pretender the way you bring them all to life for us. You are a genius. Thank you so much for keeping with the spirit of the series. I know you have a real life and I can't imagine how you are able to write and post such quality material and still have time to work, shop....and real stuff but I'm glad you DO! This journey was great. I can't wait to see where we go next.

First things first I want to thank you for writing and sharing with us. I want to thank for you updating. I know how busy you are. I want to thank you for finishing your fiction and entertaining us while you do it. I don't think I say it enough. I appreciate your contributions to this fandom more than I am able to tell you.

You always do justice to the characters and flesh them out properly. You are the only one who does that anymore. The plotting is awesome, as is the dialogue. The Jarod Parker interaction is always so wickedly brilliant. In  short I love it. Please post more soon. (hugs)

Oooh! Thank you Mirage for the xmas pressie.  Parker just realized that she's in love with Jarod didn't she?

uuuhhh! I love this.

Now Xander has to go. Right?

Glad nothing  seriously was wrong with Cate. More please. You are my fav author.

I love this so much. I can't say it enough Mirage.

Yes! You never do what I expect you to do. I was waiting anxiously for an update to The Return or A Hero's Heart and then you up and post an entirely different story...and it's a fabulous story too! I love the crime scene stuff and these new characters. I feel horrible about Gloria...that image in my mind of blood in her hair...someone else's blood in her hair gave me chills. It was like being there. You are visual. I can't wait to see where we're going next but count me in for the ride. Thank you for posting five chapters at one shot too.

Zina! I know we are going to learn all about Zina.

"Jarod nodded curtly, once. Ah, rumors. The coin of the realm." lol He learned everything he needed to know...or he thought he did anyway.

"You've been promoted.""You've been demoted," Jarod returned without missing a beat. "What happened?" He asked, solicitously." Love the exchanges there.

"yes, indeed, he had certainly found his métier" LOl.

"Uh, no," he correctly gently, "that's not all what happened the last time." TRUTH. Last time he had sex with her and left without goodbye.

"Oh, how she wanted to trust him!They all wanted to trust him. All of them. With the exception of Zina. And Miss Parker." LOL.  Perfect.

"extraordinary and compromising position, viz. with her body pressed obscenely against that of man whose name she'd never even spoken in his presence. The neat tableau of impropriety was both outre and unprofessional."

Stellar writing Mirage. Thanks for sharing with us and please, please, please update this and all of your stories soon. I love it!

You rock! Girl I freakin' love this story. You should be writing our TP novels! More please?

OMG! I don't know how you write anything original in this old fandom but you always shock me and probaly shock the conservatives too lol. Miss P hardly ever makes the first move but here she did but for other reasons. Jarod can be Thomas never entered my mind but if he can really become anything and anyone then he could be Thomas so I love what you did there and though not a fan of Thomas I think her feelings for him were whitewashed after his death and she was acting realy strange taking to him, seeing him and I never thought ..that's trauma induced hallucinations...they were making Thomas a ghost and the reality factor vanished...so what you did is so much plausible. I love your twist on things...that always end up being relevant and accurate and possible. Jarod crossdressing is a first! Yes you go girl! I'd like to read those other stories where Jarod is gay, pansexual and transgender. My favorite part was where he went back to save her even though he was mad and hurt. Your writing is eloquent and smooth, I love how you move us in and out of scenes seamlessly and it doesn't feel forced and what you mean bummer? You could write way more longer chapters. You are genius. Ohhh Mirage. I love you.

Love that punch out ending and the amazing beginnings...all so amazing. The way you write. You got that something that makes writers writers yknow. I like the way Parker jumps on his a$$ for being stupid. Drinking and swimming. But yeah his mom died and we all know how hard he would take that. I love their back and forth. I love that she called him a liar when he said he would leave her alone. That man can't leave her alone. I think it would kill him not to pester her lol. I like they travel everywhere when you write them, that you've always had them global. So are you much of a traveler yourself? I'm thinking you have to be! Anyhoo. Give us more. I love your writing. I'd love it more if you'd write the together. You know. A little hanky panky?

Hot. I love their conversations... sweet banter. They are always SO in character when you write them. Thank you for that!!! The suspense is literally driving me nuts Mirage. You and Craig and Steve.. are sooo good at this. "the perks of holding the gun.' super snarky Miss P. I love it. The way you wrote Jarod's reaction... he's sickened by the accusation. If it is Jarod I mean... wow. Thriller. I want more. I literally can't wait to read what happens next. You rule!! It's also a stroke of genius to bring Broots in to deliver the bad news. "you wouldn't believe me if I told you." lol and then Broots responding the same way "you're not going to believe me either." Brilliant.

Omg I totally didn't see that coming. Parker still doubting Jarod.... such a Parker thing to do but Alex didn't lie. I'm like seriously.. where is the lie? He told her the truth. Can't imagine what the hell will happen now but I want more NOW lol. Please. You're so freaking amazing.
