~ I'm fairly new to fanfic, especially the Lecterverse. I've deliberately included many tasty tidbits from canon, but I also realize I was probably influenced by the couple dozen Lecterfics I've read. If I borrowed from anyone it was inadvertent. Thanks for reading my little series of vignettes. They were a fledgling attempt at fiction and feedback would be appreciated.

~ My husband and I just bought a house in a new development. We've had solicitors try to get us to buy landscaping, maid service, and yes, frozen steaks.

~ A special thanks to the following fanfic-ers for their consideration in taking the time to review and their words of encouragement:
