I suppose I wasn't really fully aware of how Ellery's messy romantic history gave him believability....

One of the reasons this story works so much  for me, I think, is that it feels like Ellery is a real person (just like I felt Ennis is real, having seen the movie).  Yes, I know, I'm bordering on the obsessive... LOL

LOVED the new chapter, btw. Anything with Dupree in it is always fun-fun-fun  :)

There will be more Dupree goodness as crimes begin to outpace the number of qualified detectives working in Wes's office.

Thank you muchly for the compliments!

and dont you DARE send me edits before I go through it Leslie... and I mean YOU!

Well, as you have probably noticed, I haven't sent you any edits because I have been trying to work and then my doctoral student and I got t'drinkin' and talkin'....after a late antipasto lunch washed down with a glass or two of a nice Australian chardonnay (for me) and shiraz (for her), I came back to my office to (ostensibly) read my email and what do I find? A new chapter! Hooray! Unfortunately, I am reading on the sly so not looking carefully for errors...

Now off for some chocolate and another glass of wine...maybe....she's still drinking. PS...don't tell anyone, I am getting PAID for this! LOL

Lucise, Ellery in those leather pants... holy crap.  Did he buy leather pants for his excursion to Austin? I cant recall.  He ought to slip those on and walk around the house a bit, see who ends up more riled.

I am going to go to bed and try to rest in this unbelievable heat... hope you enjoyed the chapters, folks!  More tomorrow, because... it's SATURDAY!
