I had so much fun writing from my favorite character's perspective. Wolf has been a sort of hero for me since I first saw him on the Hallmark premiere of The 10th Kingdom. I thought I might acknowledge a few people and give some explanations why I wrote what I wrote.

Firstly, I'd like to thank my Mom. She always encouraged my imagination and introduced so many fairy tales to me when I was younger. The 10th Kingdom is by far my favorite. Secondly, I'd of course like to thank my husband, Josh. His love of fairy tales is extended to wizards and dragons, but it's better than nothing. He's my Wolf. Last but not least, I'd like to thank all of you who read my work and left such awesome reviews. You guys really helped with the momentum a lot.

Now to the explanations. There are a lot of "meanwhiles" in the original miniseries. Writing entirely from Wolf's perspective cuts out all of those scenes. Some may feel like a lot of the story is lost in the process, such as the Queen's conspiracy and the Troll King's death. I tried to keep it true to what Wolf would have been feeling in each scene, and I hope all of you feel like I lived up to that standard.

I always wondered how in the world Wolf could have gotten out of prison, had the time to find a magic dragon dung bean, go through the mirror, track the dog, meet Tony, and find Virginia. The best excuse I could come up with is either there are merchants near Snow White Memorial Prison (unlikely, as the Prince was bored and there was literally nothing but grass in the background), so I threw that out of the window and chalked it up to Wolf's cunning. He was able to hide the bean without getting caught by the Governor, then he was able to use it to manipulate Tony into giving up Virginia's location.

Then there's the random change of clothes. Wolf goes to the restaurant wearing prisoner's clothes then shows up at Tony's apartment in a suit. Wolf before he meets Virginia is essentially a predator. He tries to fight his wolf nature, but falls short a lot of the time because he doesn't really know how to be a man until he meets Virginia and Tony, so it stands to reason that he would just corner some businessman in an alley and take his clothes.

Where does Wolf get the pink purse that confuses the Trolls into thinking the box contains boots? Seriously, when did he have time? As soon as he saw the Trolls taking Virginia on the row boat, he had to follow. I thought maybe there could be merchant towns on the river. That's where he got it. Nothing to embellish there.

There are just too many instances of this happening, so if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Also, I discovered several different sides to Wolf. There's the alpha side, the predator. He's constantly looking for his next meal, he's always traveling alone, and then there's the sort of "werewolf" thing he does on the full moon. The alpha side is the most cunning of all. It allows him to track without getting distracted, he's a natural leader, and he can blend in or survive on his own. The only reason he was sent to prison is because he got too cocky and got caught with some sheep.

Then there's the puppy side. This is particularly prominent when he meets Virginia. He immediately tries to make himself less scary by reading self-help books and trying to be more like a man than a wolf. With Virginia he aims to please. He wants her to agree to be his mate, not force her. This could also be evidence of his human side. Wolf wants to woo Virginia to him by being overly helpful.

And then obviously there's the human side. He proposes to Virginia in the fashion of human customs, not wolf. He's vulnerable with her, sometimes too honest.

Those are just a few observations from the top of my head. And again, if you have any questions feel free to ask!

Sincerely,

Misty Futrell
