I made some stuff for my profile here. Or rather, I *edited* some stuff, and I love the way things are looking now.

#ScribesAndMakers 4/17. What's something you've learned in recent research?

I’ve learnt a remarkable amount of information from the research I’ve carried out into magic whilst trying to ensure the veracity of my work. I like to look for little known facts I can weave into my writing.

For instance, potions referring to things such as “Eye of newt" and "toe of frog" as per Macbeth, were synonyms for plants, not actual animal parts.

#PennedPossibilities 988 — Tell us about your MC’s bravest moment.

Sometimes living requires bravery, but Bolt knows she isn't a fighter and runs from violence when she can. When the mob boss and his minions miscalculate trying to hire the devil-girl by blackmailing her and giving her no choice, it's different. The daemon is a miracle worker trained as a fighter; cornered, she becomes angry in deadly quiet controlled fashion. Bolt has shadowed her through the city, knows how peculiar she is. Foreseeing death and disaster, she intercedes. It means seducing the mob boss, whom she detests. This can't be good, can it?
