Dear Readers,

I have bad news and double good news.

The bad news is that, within a few days, I will be deleting this story. Yes, it will not be finished.

But before you start screaming, hear the reason!

The good news is that "The Barefoot Witch" is being turned into my very first mystery novel!

Here is a quick blurb:

"A dead woman crushed under a house. A Farmer, a Metal working artist, a Detroit Lion Player and a Kansas runaway are the suspects. And did I mention the woman's shoes were missing and her skin was blue

There is only one man the Detroit Police can turn to when a mystery gets this weird. Too bad he hates those cases with a passion.

Too bad for O'Reilly that he doesn't have the option of ignoring this case. Especially when his older brother, award winning graphic novelist West O'Reilly is the one that found the body. Thomas and his team must untangle the fact from the fiction, while also dealing with their own personal lives that seem determined to drag them off course.

With a murder like this, finding the solution will take more than a walk down the yellow brick road."

"The Barefoot Witch" is currently a quarter of the way through. I have completely scrapped what I wrote for this fic, using only the framework to create the new, original tale. Don't worry...fans of Castle and Bones will find things to like, and will also, I hope, embrace Thomas and West as the newest crime fighting team...even if only one of them fights crime!

The second piece of good news is that I plan, down the line at some point, to continue the ABCverse by replacing this story with "The Boy in the Bot", where the gang must solve a murder at a Transformers' convention. And, considering how big of a Transformers fan girl Temperance is...

Oh, and the gang is forced to stay at my apartment.

Yeah, you read that right.

So, I would like to thank you all for reading this fic, and hope you all forgive me for leaving it undone...I believe, however, it will only bring about much better things.
