|

...is now available at http://www.kinsfire.net
It's only the prologue, right now, but I hope to have the first chapter available by Friday at the absolute latest. (DO NOT click the link for Chapter 1! If you do, just click the back arrow on your browser, because it did something funky on my browsers...Chapter 1 is not on the site yet.)
Let me know - does this single page prologue interest you? At least make you curious about what the heck's going on? (Yes, I already know what happened, and why...)
BTW - at the bottom of the prologue is a link to the main page I set up for this story. If you're interested in learning a little more about Trixie and why I'm even writing this thing... _________________ That which does not kill me probably hurt like a sonuvabitch. |

Yes, I'm definitely interested in more. For once just because I was waiting for somebody around here writing a mystery story
Oh, and thanks for the little history about Trixie. Aside from the occasional mentioning around here I had never heard off the character before.
I hope you'll write more soon _________________ Tygon Panthera - name and species

Tell me about it - I almost mentioned the fact that HP5 was coing out around the same time...well, at least it's for two good causes - buying books (always a good thing) and maybe getting the rest of the Trixie series published. _________________ That which does not kill me probably hurt like a sonuvabitch. |

*strokes chin* A very nice and fast start, my friend. I'll definitely be looking for more.

Chapter 1 slows down a bit, I think, and tries to explain one or two things. With luck, you'll see that sometime today.
Warning to the Trixie fans out there - I played a little fast and loose (like intro'ing Dennis, for example) with the storylines. I may give Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler actual first names, since I don't ever remember seeing them mentioned anywhere.
I will not go overboard, like having Jim shave all his hair and join a monastery, but I'll make some small (or not so small, depending on your POV) changes.
Let me know if Dennis ever makes you want to slap him with a brick. I know what's coming, and there's gonna be a couple points I'd like to slap him with a brick.

Interesting start. Seems someone wants something VERY desparatly.
Now, if I could only get to the story page without disabling my Ad-filter. _________________ I'm a nut, but there are those who appreciate me for it. |

Weird - I have no idea why you'd have to disable your ad filter. Anyone out there have any ideas why that might be the case? _________________ That which does not kill me probably hurt like a sonuvabitch. |

OK, people. Nameless has his finger on the pulse of the problem - now you need to find out what it is someone wants. And, of course, who it is that wants it.
You won't find out in Chapter 1, although you will learn a little more about Dennis and his relationship with Honey Wheeler.
Yup, that means it's available on my site. Enjoy!

Actually, my mistake. I first went to the portal page of the KAB (which is actually still up) and clicked on the "Kinsfire.net" link. Only that link does not point at Kinsfire.net...
Since you are doing some funky stuff with Frames and JavaScript (which I detest ) and JS is something that is (partially) filtered by the Ad-blocker, I disabled that and then entered the address by hand to try again...
Which took me to the correct page... that did have the links... _________________ I'm a nut, but there are those who appreciate me for it. |

I have to say that I did, even if the mystery doesn't advance much, but that's okay. After all, this is just the beginning.
Well, I'll leave commenting about the dating, love and other relationship stuff to those who're good at that. The only real comment I have so far is that there is quite a plot twist at the end. This is gonna be interesting.
Now, the big question, aside the "Why?" so far is: Who was the target of the driver? Did he want to take out Honey or Dennis or both? _________________ Tygon Panthera - name and species

|
|
Okay, I'm having a hard time not to constantly ask when chapter 2 will come out so I decided to busy my mind with some early speculations.
That facts: We know that Honey and Dennis' car was pused of the street, most likely with the intend to kill or at least to take them out for some time. I'll for now assume that the intend was killing.
Of course, the big question is: Why?
However, there is another question that needs to be answered first and that it: Who?
Was Honey the target of the driver of Dennis or both?
Let's take a look at the possible victims.
Honey
Okay, I don't know very much about the character since I never read any of the Trixie Belden novels but it seems to me like her parents are rich. That's always good. It could be someone her parents had to do with who for some reason want revenge and tried to get it by killing ther daughter.
Another possibitly is that it was somebody She and Trixie met during their time as hobby mystery solvers but I can't make a decent assumption there since I don't know the books.
The last possibility I can think of right now would be that it was her former boyfriend Brian. I believe it was said that they parted on friendly terms but one can never know. If course, if it was him his attempt would most likely have been to kill the both of them.
Dennis
He's a bit of a wild card since he's a completely new character but at least that means that there aren't a bunch of people around here who know much 10 times better than I do
Well, Dennis is rich too. Money has always been a good reason for people to kill though at them moment I don't see who exactly one could benefit from his death.
We don't yet know enough about his past to make any safe assumtions there. That also means that there may be some things in his past that could lead to new possibilites.
Now to the last aspect of Dennis: His being a furry. I admit, it's a weak trance but it could be because of his ability in the fursuit creation. I see two possibilties there. First: The one who wanted to buy his fursuit pushed them off the street to steal the fursuit. There however would have been a high risk that the suit got damaged or even destroyed in the crash so the buyer must have been really desperate. And second: Another fursuiter wanted to deal with the competition early. Considering how fanatical some people are I would think that that's even a halfway decent possibility.
For now my money is on Brian commiting a crime out of hurt love, because it's the most solid trace I see for now. The scared fursuiting competitor comes as the second.
The next "Trixie Belden and the AC Mystery" Speculation will be posted when chapter 2 comes out (or when I get another idea ) _________________ Tygon Panthera - name and species

It's in the works as we speak, as well as ItSW 10. I was stalled on ItSW, trying to figure out something. Yech - I don't like what I came up with.

My first thought on reading this was, "You're good!" This is going to be a challenge writing this, and that makes it fun!
Tygon is going to be my test subject, probably. We know that Rava knows the stories, and I think Galadrion does too, but who else? Those that know them know whether or not Brian could do such a thing (remember the kind of temper he has...).
Further deponent sayeth not.

Well, with luck, Chapter 2 will be in your hot little hands (virtually speaking) soon. I'm five or six printed pages into it. (Chapter 2 was nine pages, in my version.) I could be as few as seven or hideously more pages. Who knows?
