Happy Birthday, Loren Hale!

One of my absolute favorite male leads is celebrating his 26th birthday today!  At this point in the Addicted timeline, Lo (and Lily :)) have overcome so much and are continuing on a positive path.  Sure, they still struggle everyday with temptation but let's face it, they will be struggling with it for probably their entire life.  What's important is how much they've grown and how much stronger they've become.  Lo's transformation and character progression is one of my favorites to witness.

I look back and remember how amazed I was (and still am) at Lo's unconditional love for Lily.  He truly is one remarkable human being (ha! listen to me talk like he's a real person. He's real to me, I don't care what people say! :P).  HAVE ONE HECK OF A BIRTHDAY, LOREN HALE!

** Flashback to the very first videos I made (keep in mind, I was still a novice in video-making)**

When Lo was one of the nominees for the NA Crush Tourney in 2014

Okay, okay, enough with the nostalgia (*sniff* I have something in my eye).

Be sure to head on over to the Fizzle Force group on Facebook for an exclusive treat!!  And don't forget to visit Krista & Becca's blog, as I'm sure they won't forget to celebrate Lo's birthday today.

Happy Birthday, Ryke Meadows!

In the Addicted world, Ryke, our lone wolf, turns 27.  I look back and remember the first time he was introduced in Addicted to You and thinking, OMG he's going to be trouble.  Back then, I thought he was going to come between Lily and Lo...and he did in a way...but not in the way that I was expecting.  With the way Lily was describing him looking similar to Lo, I thought she would grow attracted to him.  It's seems so funny now that I think about it.

Ryke had so much to do with Lily and Lo's recovery.  He helped kick start it and he's made such a huge impact in Lo and Lil's life that it's hard to imagine how they would have ended up and where they would have been had Ryke not decided to come into their lives.  At the very beginning of Hothouse Flower, Ryke says, "I'm raw.  I'm hard.  I'm the thing you shy away from.  So I'm warning you now.  Back away.  Because once you enter my life, I won't ever let you leave."  So far, he's kept that promise and I never ever want him to leave.  I loved witnessing Ryke's relationship with Lo, Lily, Rose, Connor, and Daisy change into something wonderful.

Happy Birthday, Ryke!  Today, we celebrate you.  The Addicted world would not be the same without you in it.

Happy Birthday, Lily Calloway!

August 1st celebrates Lily Calloway's birthday, and also marks 3 years since Ricochet was released.  This year, 2016, Lily celebrates her 25th birthday in the Addicted Series timeline.

At this point in her life, Lily has overcome so much and has grown immensely in character.  She's fought and won battles she never thought she could, and she's much stronger than she even realizes.  Along the way, she's learned to love herself and to accept who she is.  Out of all the Addicted series characters, she's the one I relate to the most.  Lily is my spirit animal.  Cheers to you, Lily Calloway!

If you're a member of the Fizzle Force group on Facebook, we have something special for you!  Head on over there and see!

In celebration of Lily's birthday, I am having a small giveaway for one Halway Comics Mug (your choice in either red or blue/green).  Enter to win below (open internationally).
