Is this POV yours? Real life local mysteries are unironically the best thing ever, unless they involve people getting hurt. I had a missing criminal hanging around my mailbox one time. Those things are the spice of life.

You should research what chemicals might change colors like that.

@ellette-giselle

Well… we aren’t at the end of the book yet. 🫣

@ellette-giselle

Yay! KP is back!

Good chapters. They made it out of there pretty easily. I thought that was going to be tough…

@ellette-giselle I really gotta get caught up, the past few days I haven’t been able to read them (been using my allotment of screen time for other things)

@ellette-giselle

You’re welcome!

(Odd how it’s so clear in your mind and then someone tells you what they though you said and it’s not at all what you meant. I find this in writing and in speaking.)

Yup. Another reason for proofreading.

If you have another book later on that doesn’t have Christian rebellion as a major component, I will be hap…[Read more]

Book feedback for you!

@ellette-giselle

Wow! That was so tense! I can’t wait for Cassion to tell them!

@ellette-giselle

You’re just going to leave us on that?? 🥺

@ellette-giselle

Aww. Those were good.

@ellette-giselle

I’m scared for them…

@ellette-giselle

Ellette!! What are you going to do to them!? 😳

@ellette-giselle

Oh boy…

Those were great. Didn’t really see anything that needed to be fixed. I like how we get to see both sides of it now.

@ellette-giselle

Actually, finding faceclaimes on pintrest is really hard because I rarely find one that looks like my character.

ME TOO THOUGH

Sometimes it’s so obvious, like I find one exactly like one of my characters, but I still haven’t found one that looks like Lilitu or Sef 😭

@ellette-giselle

I’ve always been able to clearly picture mine.

This is really interesting to me. Like, you can clearly see their facial features as if they were real, and as if they were standing in front of you? Is it vivid or fuzzy? Were you only able to picture them after you drew them or did they sort of just pop up in your mind one d…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

No chapters today?

@ellette-giselle

Awesome.

Probably good advice. I would, but it’s already in his backstory, and I didn’t want to go back and change it now.

And I mostly just lost it when I realized that this, being a modern real life setting, I couldn’t go sort through or make up the customs and laws myself, like I could for nearly any of my other WIPs.…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Ah, thank you! This is a lot of helpful information.

Okay, so the kid is in Canada at the time (Quebec) as that’s the family residence. I have found a bit of legal stuff for Canada by now, but haven’t started looking into the American side. This is so beautifully concise (which legal documents are definitely not).

This is…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @koshka
Fabulous! (Co-author hopping in) That’s very helpful.

I will say, the parents do not work for the government. The organization is a “private investigation” style thing separate from all governments like the Pinkertons, although they have worked alongside governments in time of need. (They are connected to the Witness…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Ah, that makes sense. The problem of which country would have legal authority was the part that stumped me, and I figured Canada, which leads to nothing because I know nothing about Canada.
