I have only one request -- and no, it's not for what to write; I know most authors hate that (and rightly-so) :P
Would you mind making a visual chart of the relationships of the characters?
It's getting to be a bit too much for me to hold in my head when I try to read these, given just how many characters you've introduced at this point, though it doesn't decrease my enjoyment in the slightest :)
Glad to see a new Wood story. You've been able to keep them at such high level of quality.

This is a truly beautiful story. The emotions and characters were all so alive and made my heart pound. I enjoyed it so very much, thank you!
Another great read, kept me waiting to see what was going to happen next.
One suggestion could you put all "The Wood" series under a Series heading "The Wood"
Thankyou for another great read.
Is there any way to get an "Also In This Series" link?
so far: I think,
Steward of the Wood
Daughter of the Wood
Forever of the Wood
Secret of the Wood
Kindred of the Wood
Heart of the Wood
Beauty of the Wood
Friend of the Wood
Blessing of the Wood
Absolutely lovely.
Not reading "of the wood" stories is silly! ;)
Can't wait to see continuation...
There is so much potential:
- Of course Xanellas & Johns child(s)
- Xanterras & Nathans Nerd child finding a mate (love me some geek chicks!)
- What about Dale?
- La'Dara & Chase was a bit off, the Lake needs an own series, i thought.
- Xanmara & Wade can connect the "of the Wood" and "of the Lake" series, or at least their kids could.
- Glen and Melinda. Wiccan or Dryad? Can a Dryad be Wiccan?
If you could get some more of these pretty stories out, we Readers are in for Years of fun!
Of course i wouldn't mind if you just posted these when they're ready, not just on earth day. ;)
I absolutely love your work, good work up, nice endings, nice characters, you know how to play with emotions, just nice!
And: stop being sorry for long stories, no one is afraid your tales are over 5 pages long, that's silly!
Most people would say they could be 15 and still too short!
I'd love to read more from you!
I have only recently come across this series of stories and have found them to be fantastic,
Thank you
I have enjoyed these stories a lot. I love fairy tales and have a small library of them. I know it takes time to write stories and I hope that you may have some new stories in the future. Thanks so much for bringing your stories to life.
Damn, I'm going to miss these people.
It was no surprise that you had John and Ella conceive on Earth Day, on their first attempt. After all, all the Earth magic needed was love and one sperm (and an egg from Ella), and if necessary it could heal John's low sperm count anyway.
You've also left me wondering - Is the oak that sprouted from that acorn going to also produce a new dryad? I guess we'll never know.
As at least one other commenter has mentioned, high page counts for your stories aren't scary.
What would be scary would be if the page counts were too low - I'd be scared that there wouldn't be enough story!
Loved the stories.
One minor quibble I have is that while Xantina was able to teach Daniel to reach out and watch through nature, none of their descendants seem to have significant magic other than when she assists them.
Basically, apart from body hair and their one-day-a-year fertility, the part dryads seem to be no different than full humans with a closeness to nature.
