Matchmaking at The Towers

Matchmaking Who and How

I spent so much time in The Towers that I forget that not everybody may have read Book I, Loving the Towers. So after I thought about it, I decided I'd better introduce the casts for these new "episodes." Check below for info on participants in each part. As they come up, I'll add cast members that may not have appeared in a previous part. For some of them, I've even added the one that I envisioned in the role. My editor says that many readers develop their own images and psyches, so feel free to ignore me and cast your own "star". Happy reading!

Book II: Matchmaking

The one thing that I learned in my time with the Towers is that Lane is a hopeless romantic. He can't help himself. He's so in love with his Ayla, that he doesn't see that perhaps others are not so in love, or so not in love, or just plain enemies, or whatever variation thereof. These are ailments that MUST be cured, so he meddles. He calls it intervening. Whatever he does, sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.

In the coming days, we'll meet the people that Ayla and Lane influenced with their loving example and see how the meddlees' lives were bettered for having known the Towers and his love.

Join me when you can, and we'll go be the meddler's voyeurs together.
