Okay, this is going to be basically just a huge author's note, so sorry about that. Another thing, sorry if I ever got seriously overprotective on any of you 'cause of a character - I'm working on that and keeping them all in check with the Mary Sue Litmus Test (Good news, everyone from my original novel, For the Love of Humanity, is either an Anti-Sue, a Non-Sue, or a Border-line Sue - and the guy who got that last one is supposed to be like that to annoy the protagonist). And let me tell you something Twilight fans, Edward Cullen is definitely NOT fitting anywhere in those categories (cough cough - Major Sue - explains why everyone thinks he's the perfect guy - 'cause he actually is).
And, in case any of you were curious about that song Anna-Maria sang at the beach, check out this link /watch?vNiBLBYROX2g or - in case the link doesn't work (or show up at all) - go on youtube and search 'Mera Dil Tera Deewana' and click on the first clip. You'll hear what the song sounds like and see how I borrowed some of the ways in which Anna-Maria aggravated poor Julio and Sunehri. Except Anna-Maria never danced with a guy in a chicken suit. Artemis would have taken pictures or video of it on his laptop if that was the case.
Speaking of Artemis, I can't wait for The Time Paradox to come out! Although I don't get the title yet - and won't till I read the book - What about time is a paradox? A paradox is a literary device that puts two opposite things together - kind of like an oxymoron - but in a way that makes sense, like "bittersweet". Oh, well, got to wait and see, I guess. Too bad I'm so impatient...
