#PennedPossibilities 1045 — When was a time that your MC had to say no but wanted to say yes?

It *will* happen soon in the story. Without giving away too much information or context, I’ll say that Fenella has to say “no” to Alistair in regards to rekindling their relationship after spending some time pretending to be back together in order to keep her safe. All she wants to do is say “yes” to him, wholeheartedly and without fear, but she can’t. There are valid reasons why she ended things between them almost a decade ago.

(Fear not, they’re going to end up together in the end. I’m a romance author, after all. I might write angst but it’s always with a happy ending.)

#PennedPossibilities 1044 — SC POV: What stupid question have you heard someone ask (or have asked yourself)?

Hati: Other immortals will constantly ask werewolves like myself if we’re blood drinkers as well… It makes me want to roll my eyes in disdain. The stupidity knows no bounds.

Take a look at the BookFinder at the I Heart SapphFic website:

https://iheartsapphfic.com/bookfinder/

It’s a good resource for Sapphic books (and particularly ebooks) published in the last decade or so.

In addition to #UrbanFantasy you may want to look at #ParanormalRomance and #FantasyRomance genres, too.

#PennedPossibilities 1042 — MC POV: What is something most people desire that you feel is more trouble than it’s worth?

Fenella: Money. I am tempted not to say anything more on the subject. It isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. Happiness and less money are worth far more than more money and being utterly miserable and all alone. Then again, I say this as an immortal being, so I’m not the best judge. Perspective is everything, though. Do not listen to me, either way. However, I will add that I’m not paid much for working in a tavern, but I have the love of my life at home. He’s all I could ever ask for. We have just enough food and a roof over our heads.

Alistair: Immortal life.

#PennedPossibilities 1041 — What goal or prize is your MC chasing, even passively? What goal or prize have they abandoned, and why?

Alistair is chasing after safety. Not even for himself, necessarily, but for those he loves. He wants his friends to be left the f*ck alone. He discarded the mere *idea* of ever winning Fenella back again as well, as far as abandoning things goes. That would have been another goal or wish of his. Number one, in his eyes, she deserves better. And number two, he truly believes she no longer cares for him in that way. He’s somewhat content (or so he thinks) to love her from afar these days, now that she’s returned to Scotland and their home again.

#PennedPossibilities 1040 — Are there any factions or groups within your world? Are they good, bad, or somewhere in between?

Nothing is black and white within this fantasy universe. They’re neither good nor bad. They have their moments for either side of the pendulum, and yet it continues to swing. We have vampires, werewolves, spirits, etc. They all (for the most part) band together and shun the other types of immortals. It’s taboo to befriend others, and yet Alistair (vampire) and Hati (werewolf) broke those rules ages ago. They didn’t care for the norms. They’re creatures cut from a different cloth than all the rest. If they’re all immortals, none of it should matter. The discrimination, hatred, and disgust are pointless, same as it always is.
