A/N: Hello dear readers! I hope you all are doing well in your lives outside the fan fiction world!

This is to inform you all that I am still here… "Thanks for the props, Terri411!" Speaking of Terri411… I am the 'Beta Reader' for her story: "Someone To Love" and I would encourage those of you to check it out. Terri411, (this is strictly my own personal observations both in reading stories as well as writing my own) is to me, the #1 reader in this realm of fan fiction… very kind and faithful to review and comment on each chapter of the stories she reads. I believed it was only fair to volunteer and be Terri411's "beta reader" (plus I don't particular care of trolls, naysayers, etc. who pick on those I care about)... so yeah, DON'T troll Terri411 if her story is in a manner some of you may not like! Please be kind and know the "high road" has less traffic and I personally don't care for crowded lanes!

I have hit a mild "writer's block" with this current "Vuk's Vignettes" chapter (set during Season 1's episode 5: "Money For Nothing") but I haven't given up! In fact, I've actually wanted to start into launching the "sequel volumes" the "Vuk's Vignettes" series… which follows the television series told from the wolf's perspective. (For new readers: in this particular "Rizzoli & Isles" universe, Jane Rizzoli is a werewolf… but different from the typical werewolf genre. Will Dr. Maura Isles become a werewolf… even this author isn't entirely sure yet! Again for new readers, the 3 story series: "Lupus Amicitia" sets the story setting for the "Vuk's Vignettes" series.)

However, given the story line in the television series (and in this writer's crazy mind)… "Vuk's Vignettes" will NEED to be finished before the following volumes can be launched. There are some key details set during the events of Season 1's 8th and 9th episodes that will be revealed which help tie in the seemingly "loose" or "fraying threads" that begin in any new story/series. But hopefully, when "Vuk's Vignettes" is complete, the "sequel volumes" can then start being "published"/posted and readers can then read into those specific episode seasons that hold their primary interest!

Despite the "writer's block" for the current "Vuk's…" chapter, in addition to this amateur writer's increased stuff in real life, I have written some items set around Season 2's, episode 10: "Remember Me" in which more is revealed about Charles Hoyt and Jane Rizzoli's mysterious friend, Alison "Al" Grey-Wolfe. While the birthday party is referenced, it will NOT be seen in the "Vuk's Vignettes: Volume II" story set during that event… a sneak peek already "published."

And speaking of "sneak peeks," I'm awaiting to receive "Vuk's… Volume III" sneak peek back from my own beta reader/editor. This particular sneak peek is set during the events of Season 3, episode 2: "Dirty Little Secret" in which Jane and Maura are trying to evade their opponents in the dark woods. Although not a part of the "Volume III" sneak peek, there are some "telling events" at the end/beginning of "Volume II"/"Volume III" along with the episodes of Season 2/Season 3 in which even Vuk (Maura's name for the wolf nature coexisting with Jane) sees along with the detective that further causes them to wonder of their "Human Friend," Dr. Maura Isles being more than she really appears!

I hope this particular author's note has captured some of your continued interest! Also, most importantly… be the "ultimate butt kicking!" (borrowed from the "Power Puff Girls") for this amateur writer to get it in gear and finish writing the current, upcoming chapter and finish up, continuing onward with the rest of the series!

I cannot thank my readers (both known and unknown) enough for reading and following my stories! I truly wish I could find the adequate words to convey how much it means to me… it will always be appreciated and esteemed in ways I can never truly articulate. YOU ARE IMPORTANT! NEVER let anyone tell you otherwise! If there are no readers for these stories, then what's the meaning and purpose for me in writing these stories?

So, all of you KNOW… COMPREHEND that YOU ARE IMPORTANT to me… regardless of who or what you do in real life! And I cannot thank you dear readers enough for deciding to read and follow these stories! Despite my current snag, I still FULLY PLAN and ADHERE to the intention of completing all of these planned stories (and possibly new, yet inspired ones) that I've got floating and rummaging around in my head.

I also appreciate ya'lls patience as the delays both in the past along with the current, present one are sorted out. Till next time…
