Your lead characters seem to always be adults and very rarley have we had any kids involved. Would you ever make a kid the center of a story for a chapter or maybe even a short story? (if he has already done this then please correct me and remind me in what story this happened) L!ZZiE

Hey Lizzie, I'm not Scott and I don't have his brain with me at the moment, but it seems as if in Nocturnal, a young boy will indeed feature prominently. He already got his arm broken and his mother pissed off, so he fits right into the Siglerverse. So if you don't already listen to Nocturnal, check it out.

Mostly I deal with adults. There are kids in NOCTURNAL, but more like advanced teens. I do have stories planned with little kids, but as violent and nasty as my books get, it's a little bit touchy for me.

and you can't crate them! Too bad....my dog loves his crate. He doesnt use it as often as as he did when he was a pup, but man was it convienent to put him in there when we had company and he got a little too excited. Perfect for children if you ask me.

When all else fails.....duct tape..... Or you could buy one of those cool velcro suits and stick them to a velcro wall. Yeah that would be nice. But, knowing my kids.....the tides would turn against me and I woudl end up duct taped in a closet while they overrun the world.

Duct tape = brilliant! That's even better! Simply because not only s it highly effective but also dirt cheap!

But what if they use the velcro suit to climb? Think about it, children with a hight advantage. It would be utter madness!

The Irishman from Ohio"I never Get to Get it!"-Wacko Warner the duct tape would still be of use. Once it gets heated above +120 F is burn leaving only burned fibers. No organics left. It cannot be used as an excellirent(ms) but it can help a fire to continual burn when used with the right materials.

Kids wouldn't really fit in with the violence. "The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles."

In grade school I was a coward and did not try to make new friends when old ones left for other schools. I spent TOO MUCH time read books that I had no right to for my age.

Most high schoolers' are evil. I should know I was one for four years. I was evil. But, for the record I do not know everything.

Being 17 i'm the optimal age for knowing everything. But I'm special. My teachers even call me special. The beautiful music teacher thinks I'm messed up, granted I did plant that in his head. But I do live on 'rape alley' so I am messed up, no denial. But us freakin teens will rule the world! Mmmm, Take That, absolutely in love with the pure tack. And there is the flaw in my plan. Distractions. Beautiful, beautiful distractions. Like the beautiful music teacher. OK, I've completely gone off on a tangent. But I do know everything.

As a teen it's our job to know everything! "The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles."
