#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. Yes, 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.)

#PennedPossibilities 1075½ — Bonus Question (Courtesy of @sfwrtr): World Cup Edition: Does a big intramural competition (between villages, nations, planets) exist in your world? How do your characters feel about fair play, cheating, or whether they’re being distracted by bread and circuses? Do they compete?
This world is just ours with supernatural creatures sprinkled in. The only other difference is that it’s the Victorian era.
Also, none of my characters play fair. A lot of love cheating. But that’s neither here nor there because I’m referring to the general state of things with those statements, not sports. And I would love to see a huge football or rugby match between the cast. Heck yes.

#PennedPossibilities 1075 — What are the biggest obstacles in your antagonist’s life?
For Isma, it’s other immortals, and the answer really is that simple. He loves to do what he wants, and he utterly hates when something, or more specifically, *someone* stops him from doing just that.

#PennedPossibilities 1074 — What creatures are capable of speech in your world?
Most are. We have immortals of various kinds, mortals, some animals, etc. It’s a fantasy and supernatural universe, after all.

#PennedPossibilities 1073 — MC POV: Tell us about a time when your heart raced, either for good or bad reasons.
Alistair: It wasn’t for good reasons. In fact, it was just moments before I died a mortal death. I realized and saw, in excruciating detail, that supernatural beings do exist and have for a long time. The stories were true. And in that moment, I knew... The Gods had abandoned me. An hour later, I was made bloodbound and became immortal. I’ll never forget that day.

#PennedPossibilities 1072 — Is there a place in your world known for peace? Is it difficult to find?
The Victorian era certainly wasn’t a peaceful time in the world. I do, however, consider Dorcha Castle a peaceful place, and this fact is known by mortals and immortals alike. This was always what Alistair wanted and fought for. It’s a place of refuge for those who need it. And yes, the property is easy to find.

While I'm at it, another personal piece, also from 2015. This one features the entirely trustworthy Affable Scrivener, a Fallen London OC. Heads up for some potential eye strain (and an inimitable moustache).

I was going to save this up for Christmas, but what the hey. It might be monstrous but it's a pleasingly cooling picture to look at. It's from 'St Nicholas Magazine', 1873.

#PennedPossibilities 1071 — What is something you wish existed in the real world that exists in your WIP?
Immortal beings of various flavors, if you will. (For instance, werewolves, vampires, etc.) It would be really interesting — scientifically and medically speaking — to study them, but it sure wouldn’t be fun for any of their victims, of course.

I bought this old photo a while back and I’m pretty sure that’s Robert Pattinson on the left.
Also, that kid is hella gangsta.
