WIP extract book 2 of 6 SlenderWolf In With the In Crowd Chapter 23 An Intrinsic Desire for Connection “I can tell you this fair and square, I’m no expert on girls. I think you and Kayt are probably one step ahead of me and Kristal. I’m only guessing, but I imagine that Kayt’s not interested in soppy, wimpy boys. It sounds to me like she’s seeking validation Be strong yet sympathetic, affectionate yet masculine, open minded, yet certain of your path. Make her feel good about you, tell her how she’s helped you develop, grow more mature,” “You told me about Francis Bacon, didn’t you? Knowledge is power,” says NutJob. “Have you read Descartes? A Discourse on the Method?” “No.” “Be certain of your path. The path might not be a straight line, but a path that leads somewhere is better than no path at all. Read his analogy about walking out of the forest, and how that’s a metaphor for life. It’s just two or three pages … a very short passage, in a very short book … somewhere in the middle. It’s hard work though, I had to talk to mum and dad in order to figure out Descartes. “OK, I’ll do that. Mum has a copy at home I think, I won’t even need to wait for the library to open tomorrow. And mum and dad will both help me with any complexity.” A watercolour picture of a charming young man aged 17. He has neat well groomed brown hair, his eyes are bright blue, and his face has an a simple, polite smile although it looks as if he's concentrating. He's wearing a plain white T shirt against a light grey background. The image is labelled NutJob. A watercolour painting of a slim, attractive 14 year old boy - he has neat dark brown hair, trimmed nicely with a gentle wave on the crown. His eyes are a beautiful deep blue. His face has a thoughtful expression with a hint of a smile. He’s wearing a white T shirt against a plain grey background. The image is labelled AngryBard. He’s rarely angry unless you interfere with his book reading habit. copyright © Scott Rochester 2026

WIP extract book 2 of 6 SlenderWolf In With the In Crowd Chapter 13 ChatterBox “Dash, this supersonic cotton wool ball here is a right little chatterbox! I’m going to call her ChatterBox! You’ll have to excuse me if I seem busy. I’m not ignoring you, I’ll be on the wavelength learning all I can about the set up here.” « Tell me about this big, ugly brute. The wolf I mean, not my man! What was he like? » « Big! Ugly! And silent! He didn’t say anything. Not even when they moved him. He just howled a few times. Weird, feeble howls, really, really strange noises, I don’t think they even meant anything. He was stuck in the ditch for hours until the men with the horse arrived. Silently lying there, just looking up at the night sky. It’s like he was on a different planet. He just kept staring upwards. » « Weren’t you frightened? » « I was at first. But then he was so still and so silent, there was nothing to be afraid of. » « Did you talk with him? » « After a while, I think I did. What’s your name, why are you here, where did you come from, how stupid can you be to get stuck in a ditch? » « I thought you might! I think you would have found it impossible not to chat. Tell me more. » « He said nothing. He just kept looking at the stars. » Coconut - A watercolour painting of three year old Maltese puppy, a small silky, pure-white lap dog, with deep black eyes, a cute black nose, and hanging ears. She has an expressive face which appears to be saying Please Love Me, though that belies her reputation for being too bouncy, and too much of a ChatterBox. She can chat endlessly on the wavelength with KristalClear, and constantly demands doggie chocs! Copernicus - Digital watercolour image of a majestic black wolf with a striking gaze. head and shoulders shot. The coat is a mix of greys, tan and white, with some detail picked out in black. The amber eyes have a piercing quality, looking straight, yet the facial expression is neutral. © Scott Rochester 2026

WIP extract book 2 of 6 SlenderWolf In With the In Crowd Chapter 37 Juggling Eggs Nervous about CandiCrush’s uncharacteristically formal tone of voice, KristalClear asks, “may I sit down?” “Oh stop being so cautious, you’re not the problem, just sit down, be normal! I need some normality in my life right now! I’ve got so much on my plate what with wedding planning and Silverman defecting, and I’m supposed to be running a Garrison when I get a spare moment. I’m sorry if I sound a bit crotchety today!” “And you’re calling him Silverman now? You said before, that even though he’s a former pirate, he’s still a Captain, and he’s entitled to be respected and he should be referred to as Captain Silverman?” “I know. You’re right, I never call my boss Thomson, always Captain Thomson.” “And BlackDog? He was first mate, officially he’s Commander Bellamy isn’t he? He’s the same rank as you. How’s that handled?” “He’s just trash, we can ignore him. The challenge with Silverman is that if he comes over to our side, I will be his boss, even though he technically outranks me.” “And you’re certain you can do a deal with him?” “Certain! So in my mind that puts him on the same level as Major Hastings. Hastings might be Max’s boss, but he’s junior to me. I can call Hastings Hastings, and Max calls him Major Hastings or Sir.” KristalClear - A watercolour painting of an attractive young girl aged 17.
