Hello!
I am so glad that you are able to keep up with "Dark Nights of Kyoto" despite my delay in updating. To put it simply, my law school closed down, I had to find a place to transfer to, and the school that accepted me is not only one of the best, but has given me so many opportunities that I just now feel like like I can relax. 2017 has been crazy!
I've started to nearly enter the final "arc" of "Dark Nights" so, I'm trying to maintain a balance between their relationship and the history. It's a little difficult to do since I want to stay true to both. I'm hoping to update again sometime in the next few days, so please look forward to more soon  Feedback from KShadeslady: I will certainly be watching for updates. It’s a great story. Sorry to hear about the issues with your school. It sounds like you are in a much better one though and you know the old saying...When one door closes, another opens. Everything always happens for a reason. I started working part time in an outstanding job. I did not think that I would be working again. But it was a good opportunity so I took it. I can’t imagine going to law school and writing too. Where do you find the time? I know that school is grueling. My friends son is in his second year of grad law school st LSU.

As always, thank you again for your lovely reviews on Inevitability and on Compatibility! I would definitely prefer to fly by dragon as well!
I hope you've been well and that you'll enjoy the next set of updates!
-Miranda Feedback from KShadeslady: Hi Miranda! Hope your Thanksgiving was nice. Just my daughter and her husband this year but I’m enjoying the smaller groups. We used to do big gatherings when we were in the AF. Then we would invite folks that couldn’t go home. Framily. Sometimes that was all we had when we were overseas and couldn’t come home. You make your own family. It was fun.
I just saw your updates! YEAH!!! I’m about to go read them now.
Cheers, Leslie

Thanks again for the love on Compatibility!! 
I'm so glad that you had a blast with your gal pals! I've also been enjoying the girl time lately! What would we do without friends?
I'm really glad you're enjoying the new story so far! It's loosely based off personal experience so I'm really nervous about sharing it, but I also feel like I need to share it. I'll leave it at that because I don't want to spoil anything 
Dogs and their obsessions, right? I have one dog that is obsessed with playing fetch, and he got tired of waiting for people to throw the ball for him so he started playing soccer with the ball and throwing the ball for himself! He's such a cutie!
Bees are fascinating! Once I'm out of my little apartment, I wouldn't mind having a couple of hives
Europe is so rich with history! I'm very jealous that you'll be going! You'll have to tell me all about it and tell me about all of the cool historic places you go visit!
I have a love/hate relationship with Fall. I like the cooler weather, but when I dress to accommodate in the morning, it always gets unbearably warm in the afternoon!
I'm glad that hockey is back so that you and your friend can enjoy it! I don't really understand sports either, but I can appreciate it when I'm with good company
Talk to you soon!
-Miranda

Thank you for reviewing my latest story, Compatibility, and for reviewing Inevitability as always! I’m always happy to hear from you and to read your thoughts Catching up with friends is one of the best things; especially when you pick up as if no time has passed! It sounds like you and your former co-worker would get into some mischief 
I’m so glad that work has been going well and that they’re going to be extending you! What hockey team are you going to go see?
Oh no! Naughty puppy! They also like to get into mischief! My mom’s new puppy also likes to put his nose where it doesn’t belong. He had a play day with the toilet paper in the basement bathroom and decided that books are the perfect chew toy!
Ahhh! I’m so jealous! It sounds like you and your girlfriends will have a blast! Anything incredibly exciting planned? I didn’t know that you had hives! That’s so cool! I’m sorry to hear that the queens flew the coop; I hope that they return or new ones will take their places! Is it expensive to buy queen bees?
Going to Scotland would be so exciting! Have you been there before? And you deserve a trip with all the working you’ve been doing lately!
Talk to you soon and lots of hugs!
-Miranda Feedback from KShadeslady: Yes we did get into some mischief. What can I say...you have to have fun and keep things lively. The reunion was fun! After 45 years we all just click like no time has passed at all.
Hey Miranda, I’m loving your new story.
I’m so glad my dogs don’t play in the toilet paper. The dogs I grew up with, Basejis, loved to pull to around the house.
Well one hive has made new queen cells and the other is doing really well. So fingers crossed and we only lost one hive. My daughter and son in law are doing the heavy lifting in the hives and I’m just helping. They are out on their property. We are just starting. It’s very interesting. Bee’s are fascinating.
I’m excited about going to Scotland. I will probably go next spring. We lived in the UK for 3 years. I never made it to Scotland. Went to wales and all over a good bit of England. There is so much to see and learn. I’m a history nut and it is heaven there for me. I’m so excited about going there again. England and Seoul were my favorite assignments.
Fall is finally moving here. It’s my favorite season. Cooler weather! YEAH!!! It was 92 here today.
Cheers, Leslie
I forgot to tell you about the hockey. We have a team here. The Shreveport Mudbugs. I think it’s the North American hockey league. They are young players looking to break into the NHL. My friend is a fanatic. So she started dragging me to games. I would probably not go otherwise. She also loves her football. I’ve been to two NBA games, always the Tampa bay Bucs against the Saints, and I don’t even remotely like or understand football. We also did one NHL game, Tampa Bay against Dallas Stars. She’s a Florida girl. So we’ve been going for years. Then the Team folded and for 3 years no hockey. They started back up last year and after we paid for tickets separately all year we added it all up and decided we might as well get season tickets. It was about the same and now we have good seats and , the big score, better parking. I don’t have to walk a country mile on my bad knee. LOL

Hi Leslie!
As always, thank you so much for your amazing reviews, and I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to reply to your last message. Life has been incredibly busy!
How have you been and how has your summer been? I'm so sad that it's almost over! Were you able to do anything exciting and fun?
How is your new addition to the family? Bella sounds like such a cutie, and I'm glad that she's getting along with Lilly and Rider
And how is the job at the airport going? I hope they haven't automated your job!
And thank you! I absolutely love my job - my coworkers are amazing and the work is never boring!
Hope you've been well!!
-Miranda Feedback from KShadeslady: Hi Miranda, It's always so good to hear from you. Fun at work always makes it better and gives you great memories. I just had a long chat with one of former co-workers and we laughed ourselves silly talking about how we tormented the pilots and young officers. When we were both working, it was definitely a case of be afraid, be very afraid! LOL
My new job is great. If I need off, I can put in for it. And bonus, they actually pay extra for holidays! Not used to that (the military never pays for holidays, its just work)! And it does look like we are being extended. Now I just have to fit in my hockey games around sleep and work. I got season tickets this year, so darn I'm going to those games. We got good seats!
Bella is great and is such a puppy. Always into stuff. She drug a dead rat in the other day....EWWWWW! "Since it was in our yard and we do have rat bait out, my husband bundled up Rider and Bella and took them to the vet. After shots of vitamin K for blood clotting and some blood tests, the docs sent them home. More vit K for the next 2 weeks, just to be sure. We didn't want to take any chances. Lilly was okay, sleeping in our room and wasn't a participant. We think Rider was just guilty by association. Sigh...puppies! They are doing good.
I'm heading up to Oklahoma City for a reunion with girlfriends this weekend. Okay, it's a 4 day slumber party for old girls! LOL Other than the dog adventure and that, it's been a quiet summer. Did I tell you about the bees. We have three hives. Unfortunately two of our queens have left but it looks like the hives are still healthy and they made new queens. We are hoping they come back after their maiden flight. If not, we will have to buy two new queens. This stuff happens. We are learning.
I'm waiting on more info to see if I'm going to fly over to Scotland in early Dec to visit my brother and sister in-law or wait till next summer. We'll see. That one is still on the burner. My traveling feet are itchy. I'm ready for a trip. XD
As always, I love your fic. This last chapter was so sweet and very generous of our stoic lord. Write when you can. Hugs, Leslie

Thank you again for your review on BL! I'm going to try my hand at something steamy for the next chapter it'll be my first time doing so, but I definitely need the practice since the new story that I'm writing will be a whole lot of steamy and smuttyness 
Have a great day!
- CR Feedback from KShadeslady: Oh that will be fun! I like how this one is progressing. Always fun to see how an author rolls out their story. A bit of steamy always makes me happy! LOL! Thanks for answering my reviews.

Thanks for your review! -Yup, on the size 12. In the real world, I work in the fashion industry. Plus size in the biz actually starts at size 8. Ridiculous, I know. And you are normal in size. about 60% of american women are a size 14/16. I myself am an 18. I was just born this way, and there is nothing wrong with that. Same goes for you!
Thank you for the spellcheck. I thought I caught that one. Damn. lol Feedback from KShadeslady: Yeah that stuff is crazy. When I was in the military I stayed between a 6-10. But I have short and curvy genes working on me. LOL I feel bad for young women that get caught up in that and let it affect their lives. Loving your story.
