That's how Virtus progressed, a step at a time because the characters revealed things only when they were ready to, so I couldn't rush things or anticipate anything 'cause for one didn't know where they were going. But letting them free to go, I came up with my most ambitious work to date.Laura Tolomeihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06892523701987594929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-87060048861587250042010-05-19T15:28:41.377-04:002010-05-19T15:28:41.377-04:00Yeah, She, you're right.

I loved it, true, but that's me. My brother hated it and it damaged his future more than I can say. And like him, I've known may people who haven't survived this going around when very young and thy're always looking for their roots wherever thy can, never finding them.Laura Tolomeihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06892523701987594929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-23237968945578254932010-05-19T15:18:13.251-04:002010-05-19T15:18:13.251-04:00Yeah, Beth, I know EXACTRLY the feeling LOLYeah, Beth, I know EXACTRLY the feeling LOLLaura Tolomeihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06892523701987594929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-49331903801706468052010-05-19T15:16:07.220-04:002010-05-19T15:16:07.220-04:00Me, too, Estella ;)Me, too, Estella ;)Laura Tolomeihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06892523701987594929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-14942702454451573592010-05-19T15:14:46.151-04:002010-05-19T15:14:46.151-04:00Ah, joder, forgot to say what is my favorite scene...Ah, joder, forgot to say what is my favorite scene. There are a lot of them I like, but personally I LOVE all the scenes between the three main characters, whether they're making love or talking about themselves because when they do it, they're always confronting their fears, learning from the others and growing. And that's the main point of this series, which is to learn to believe in yourself and fight for the truth, whether it's within or without.Laura Tolomeihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06892523701987594929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-31630722061620295882010-05-19T15:10:55.310-04:002010-05-19T15:10:55.310-04:00Where did I come up with the idea?

Duncan being lost and casually finding Ylianor's shack kept playing in my head over and over before I ever decided to put it down on paper. At the dame time, I noticed how sex curbed a lot of my violent impulses, you know when you're so mad you'd rip the world to pieced and you'd still wouldn't be satisfied. So I thought, what if there were a device that automatically took away all the violence and transformed it into sex? Well, joder, the rest is in the Virtus books ;)Laura Tolomeihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06892523701987594929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-38975664211801390762010-05-19T15:02:22.968-04:002010-05-19T15:02:22.968-04:00Thanks, Scott, hope readers think so, too :)Thanks, Scott, hope readers think so, too :)Laura Tolomeihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06892523701987594929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-17656937878814214362010-05-19T14:59:37.028-04:002010-05-19T14:59:37.028-04:00Well, Andrea, this is the sort of series where you...Well, Andrea, this is the sort of series where you can't miss a book because the story grows and is built on what went on before.
