Magic Bites (Kate Daniels, Book 1) Magic Burns (Kate Daniels, Book 2) Magic Strikes (Kate Daniels, Book 3) As far as background characters, Crest is a good example of this issue: in the first book he’s a polite, apparently well meaning, pleasant seeming man who is romantically interested in the protagonist.

  1. Thanks so much to you both! I’m so thrilled it’s finally all done, completed, and uploaded — WHEW! :)
    Also, Ms. M, fair warning: the Methodology is probably skippable, while the Lit Review will be of interest mostly if you’re looking for other similar-subject books to read. The Intro, the actual research chapter, and the Conclusion, though, I hope will be fun and/or intriguing! :-D
