Shayne, I think you've got a secret career in the genre of romance!
What a great beginning. Let's hope it isn't another one-off bodice ripper we never get to read. What is Lois studying? What is so important in New Orleans? Why, oh, why did she have to bring along her own personal third wheel? What will Lois do if she meets the man from her dreams?
I'm a big fan of dreams being a clue of one's fate. This one seems to be a window into Lois's past life. Could it be the untold story of Lulu and the Lone Rider? More! More! More!
