Psssh. FIREBRAND was the first book I ever finished. I can't even get through poems most of the time. Don't worry about it. You'll fall madly in love with a ...

Thanks, Butterfly! And I'm so glad your characters are bugging you, because if they didn't, then I would. :) I firmly believe that everyone on YWS right now could be ...
