Dennis, I forgot to ask, what did you think of Raven? I worked to give her human qualities; yet l have more understanding than any human. I hope you enjoyed the story. Thanks for reading, I have always said that as long as I have one reader, the story must go one. I got two you and Joe, I can't remember his username CFarley982, if I remember correctly. If you are still an ambassador, talk to them about bringing back private messages. This new thing is like the old News Feed.

@dram12 Thanks, Dennis, I should have your email in my contacts. If not, I will add it. I have a few chapters ready for my next story. I am still waiting for answers to my research. I do have one other story that is finished it is called Division and Despair. It deals with a Civil War and based on current issues.

@dram12 Raven is great! I mean who doesn't like a talking dog? I enjoyed your story. Concerning the private messages, this comes up all the time. They will not bring it back because too many people were bullied privately and solicited by vendors, etc. I get around that by asking for email addresses to correspond. I think you have mine, but if not, it's: dennisroyer@gmail.com

hi MR DENNIS , I just came across *Jowls* and the concept honestly stands out. It’s not just the feral hog threat it’s the pressure from the town, the quarantine, and Rylee risking everything while nobody wants to believe how dangerous things really are. That makes the horror feel grounded and tense.
And with the engagement your story already has, it’s clear readers are connecting with it.
I think this kind of story would work really well with short cinematic horror hooks like:
“They told her to reopen the park… then more people disappeared.”
“Some predators don’t stop once they taste blood.”
Short clips like that could perform really well on TikTok, IG Reels, and YouTube Shorts because they feel more like horror trailers than ads.
If you want, I can turn one of your scenes into a sample hook-style concept so you can see what I mean.

Dennis, again, your stories hold my attention. Like so many others, on Wattpad, I only wish my writing did the same. I have a time management problem, I try to read one story on Sunday. I might read twice a week, depending on my schedule.
I do a lot of research on any story, and I am awaiting information from the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation. With information on certain cultural heritage. They may not reply, so then it is left to myself to research the idea.

@dram12 I'm happy when you read when you can. No pressure. I know research can be time consuming, especially when you are waiting for people to respond.

@DennisRoyer Especially when you have no real background as a published author. One reply was, what organization, or where was your work published. I plan on calling them. I might have to end up just calling them. Do the infinite hold thing. I could drive out to the museum. To get some information. What I need won't be available. It would be creation and evil culture.

Hi, Dennis. It looks like my replies to you were not posted. So I will try here. Yes, I am still in eastern Tennessee. I live about an hour west of Gatlinburg, maybe a little further. So, if you do come down, let me know.
Maybe we could meet for lunch, dinner, or drink. I normally try and get to the park, very couple of weeks. I am working on a follow-up story to Darkness and Fear. If you care to check out Darkness and Fear. Or wait for the new story. Although reading the first one might be recommended. Just to get to know the characters.
What I call the main character is Raven, a Golden Retriever. She calls herself a watcher. She can communicate and is highly intelligent. She is chasing a demon or a Vampire like creature. Three humans are helping. Jack Budd, Chad Owens, and Father Mike.
I am really enjoying the story thus far. I'm looking forward to my next read.
You take care.

The hunt for Mister Jowls resumes and things definitely do not go as planned in this week's chapters of "Jowls."

Rylee faces increasing pressure from her boss, family, and the town to get the job done. Three new chapters this week for Jowls. Thank you to everyone reading.

With such a short window to complete ONC, I'm going to publish multiple chapters each Thursday to get everything done. I know we're all reading a lot of ONC stories, so I understand if it's difficult to keep pace. Here are the latest chapters of Jowls:
