#WordWeavers 8/31: What's one thing you hope readers remember long after they finish your story?

That kindness exists, even in the darkest of places. Love does as well.

#EroticMusings 66: How would your characters feel about how eroticism is perceived in your culture?

It's the tail end of the Victorian era. The mortals (AKA humans) would all feel scandalized. They would probably be disgusted. The immortals, on the other hand, would love it and feel right at home. As you can tell, they're vastly different.

#WordWeavers 8/30: If you could interview one of your characters over coffee, what would be the first question you asked?

It might just be Fenella. I would ask her this: "If you still loved him and suspected that he felt the same way, then why did you ever think that leaving would make either of you feel better in the long run? Or that it would somehow change him?" But here's the thing... I understand why she left. She had to. She couldn't change him, and by leaving she got herself out of a situation that was slowly breaking her heart. It would be moot. In the end, I probably wouldn't be able to say or ask anything.

#WordWeavers 8/28: What's one question you're still trying to answer about your story?

How will I manage to wrap everything up nicely at the finish line?

#WordWeavers 8/27: Which character would win a trivia contest?

Fenella and Alistair would win if they worked as a *team* for a trivia contest. They both know so much about life. If I go into detail and explain anything about their lives and what they've learned over the years, I might just reveal some spoilers, but there we are.

#WordWeavers 8/26: What weather best matches your current work in progress?

Rainy, miserable, cold and foggy days would fit perfectly.

#WordWeavers 8/25: If readers could keep one item from your story as a souvenir, what would it be?

I love this prompt. It really has me thinking right now...

Perhaps a book. One of Alistair's tales. Either that, or a living, breathing moth. 😋

#PennedPossibilities 1112: MC or SC POV: Can you tell us about the last time you laughed? What about when you cried?

Fenella: I’m sure I laughed at something Alistair said, to be fair. And as for crying, that might very well have been from a comment he made as well. Not at me, of course, he would never hurt me, but he often rips my heart to shreds without realizing it — just by mentioning our past, what we’ve endured or what we had together. I miss him dearly. And I wonder if he feels the same way. On occasion, he’ll look at me a certain way and I’ll be left wondering.

#PennedPossibilities 1110: What is your antagonist good at hiding about themselves? What are they bad at hiding?

Let’s talk about Duncan. He’s good at hiding how… possessive he can be at times. Things become a game to him. It’s all about the hunt. Fenella has become his current objective. What is he bad at hiding, though? How ruthless he usually is.

#PennedPossibilities 1109: What question does your MC long to find an answer for? What answer do they hope for, and which one would they fear?

As we found out already in one of the previously posted chapters, Fenella enjoys researching vampires. She only knows bits and pieces of their lore. Alternatively, as she gets to know Hati, the woman reveals the origins of wolves (AKA werewolves) to her. Viking mythology isn’t just mythology. It’s history. It’s true. Fenella wishes she knew this much about her own people. Perhaps one day she’ll find the answers she seeks. Maybe the Eddas are a good place to start. I would go so far as to say that I’m not entirely sure what answer she’s hoping for and which one would frighten her, only because she doesn’t know where to begin.

(I had hoped to write more for this one, but I really don't feel well today. That’s okay, though.)

#PennedPossibilities 1108: Tell us something you like about your story. (Maybe something you find interesting, entertaining, or amusing.)

For me, this is something interesting and it verges on amusing (for Alistair, though). It also ties perfectly into tomorrow’s prompt and my answer, which you’ll learn. I really liked this snippet.

Although Barrie is remembered today almost exclusively for PETER PAN, he was a prominent 19th-century novelist & the most successful British playwright of the early 20th century.
