I'm pretty sure there wasn't a reference to a red haired guy in DwE.
Before the events of RfJ, Jess dated a redhead named Charles, and he stole her guitar picture book. Assuming you go to the bookstore in RfJ, you learn that he sold the book to Elsa. She didn't want to buy it, but he threatened to throw it in the river, and that was like sacrilege to her, so she took it. She did say that he reminded her of someone else that she's mad at. If you've gotten all of the achievements in Finding Miranda, the bonus scene gives a hint as to a connection there. Also, there is a patron short story called "FM: Alpha" that gives more information about this guy.
Link, I wrote and published science fiction novels and short stories in the past, but under my real name. Alas, I'm the only person who knows both my real name and my Tlaero/Tlaera identity, and I intend to keep it that way. If anyone linked the two, it would wreak havoc on my personal and professional life and would likely force me to stop making these games. So I can't tell you how to read the non-Tlaero stories I've written. That said, this is where I'm doing all of my writing these days. I haven't written any fiction under my real name in a number of years.
