#PennedPossibilities 1081 — About the MC: If they’ve had any, discuss their mad crushes, first kisses, etc.

There’s one person for Alistair, and it’s Fenella. It was always her, and it will only ever be her. She is the very definition of his soulmate. She was his first crush, first kiss, first and only love, the one who truly understands him, and she’s the only one he’s ever been intimate with.

Thanks to changing tastes and greater competition, 25 July 1859 was "Positively The Last Night Forever" at the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens in London; demolition began the next day. It was the end of an institution. https://victorianweb.org/history/london/vauxhall.html

#PennedPossibilities 1080 — Do any unseen forces have power within your universe?

Oh, many do. To sum things up, this series is a paranormal romance one, and that should explain everything right there without me having to go into detail. It's a supernatural universe, so “unseen forces” are definitely at play. I’ll refrain from saying anything more for now, just so I won’t give away spoilers for friends here who are reading the first (ongoing) book.

Midnight hunt for a ghost in the graveyard of St John's Church in #Hackney, London. Reported on August 26, 1895 - but I'm not sure of the publication. I'm sure a great time was had by all (except perhaps the ghost!)

#PennedPossibilities 1079 — Tell us (rather vaguely) about a secret that burdens one of your characters. Does it leave them feeling isolated?

Alistair has a secret. Sadly, he’s spent the majority of his bloodbound life (AKA his years as a vampire) having to hide because of it. In that way, yes, it’s left him with a feeling of isolation, exhaustion, and loneliness.

#PennedPossibilities 1078 — MC POV: Where did you learn your most valuable skill? Who taught it to you?

Alistair: Lying is the skill. Let’s keep this simple, shall we? Isma was the one who I learned the talent from. Absolutely shocking, I realize. That man is a bastard. I suppose he taught me well enough.

#PennedPossibilities 1077 — How important is technology to the daily lives of people in your world or universe?

What we would now consider to be the archaic, ancient “technology” that was available in the Victorian era was incredibly important to the people of the time. Absolutely, and that also includes the little things.

#PennedPossibilities 1076 — What challenge does your MC dread even if they wouldn’t run from it? Why does it stand out?

Confronting Isma comes to mind, first and foremost. That would be absolutely terrifying for everyone involved — minus Isma, of course. He would, in fact, love it. (FYI, Isma is Baddie Number 1.)

The other idea that immediately smacked me in the face is fighting Duncan. Killing his fledgling would take a piece of his soul, for lack of a better word. It always does for vampires. He would never run from the fight, though. They almost fought early on in Book 1. (Again, Duncan is Baddie Number 2.)
