When it looks like someone may be harassing Madison Sinclair via text, Veronica is called in to investigate. Meanwhile, Veronica grapples with her new and mystifying relationship with Logan, while Keith and Wallace wonder where she’s been disappearing to lately.
This story takes place during season one of the Veronica Mars TV series, between episodes 19 and 20.
Laurie Baxter has degrees in both puppetry and screenwriting because let’s face it, majoring in English would have been no more useful and way less fun. She loves chocolate, ice cream, chocolate ice cream, dogs, New York City, old movies, modern architecture, all kinds of theater, and music from before she was born. Her eighth grade English teacher told her to become a writer, so she did.
I was thrilled when I discovered a new Veronica fanfic and dived right in, one page in and I knew it was money well spent! This was the perfect missing piece to add to my Veronica collection. I was instantly drawn in and felt like I'd never left Neptune at all. All the characters were captured seamlessly but Veronica was absolute perfection. And the very early secret Veronica and Logan relationship scenes was the cherry on top, as I always wished it had more screen time in season 1, and loved seeing her trying to wrap her head around just what it was they were doing.
I was impressed with how believably the author got inside Veronica's head quickly taking it to the top of my favourite Veronica stories list! An absolute must buy if your a fan and if your not then why not start your obsession here? You won't be disappointed. I for one, will most definitely be hanging out for any more Veronica Mars fan fiction from Laurie Baxter. Hello road block and train wreck, I'm ready for you!
Someone grab the calendar and put a big ol’ circle around this week. TWO REVIEWS in one week? That’s nearly unheard of in these parts lately!
So I’ve heard mention of Kindle Worlds before but never explored. Tonight, a good friend of mine, Laurie Baxter, announced in our book club that she JUST released her FIRST BOOK through KW. A VERONICA MARS(!!!!!) novella. Shut. Up. I jumped on it. I’m not even kidding you.
I put off finishing Facebook and Twitter covers for an author (sorry, sorry, sorry!!!). I didn’t even touch Laurie’s cover for her next short story (sorry, darling!!). I set aside the marketing package that I’m working on for an upcoming anthology (sorry, ladies!!). I ignored my cats…kinda. They snuggled up on either side of me and fell asleep so really, they were ignoring me. How rude!
Anyways, on Laurie’s book club post, I tried to come up with a good way to express my pure joy for this novella to our friends. Everything that my fingers magically made appear in that little comment box needed to be put here instead. See below. *runs off now*
"AHHHHH omg. Laurie!! Can you write more, please??? I seriously had the show playing in my head! (I’m totally not a Marshmallow. Not at all…)
^^^———And that, my friends, is Karan becoming a fangirl. Excuse me while I go hide."
Yeah. That was weird for me too. I’ll try to not let the fangirl out again. *Phew* Really though. If you’re even a mini Marshmallow, you need to read this. If you’ve seen one episode (ok, maybe two or three), you need to read this. Actually, you should probably have seen the first, oh, 19 episodes, because the novella is written into the timeline between episodes 19 and 20. Forget it. Just read the book. If you like the book, find the show online (I just checked Netflix, no such luck).
Because Laurie and I are friends and talk fairly regularly, she might not notice the small increase in my attention directed her way now. Soon though….soon she will.
I don’t even want to tell you about the story itself because if you’re a mega fan like yours truly, I’ll spoil a ton of stuff. So just read it!
I never tire of reading these shorts. My only complaint is how quickly I burn through them! Not a lot of Dick in previous stories I've read so that was a nice change.
