Moonlighting Novelist

@taylorclogston

Thank you so much, this was super helpful! I hadn’t really ever heard of the genre of ‘spy fiction’. You’re right, I have no point of divergence from real world events because even though this is an obscure part of the real world in my brain, that’s never really presented in the story. I think I’m going to call it a spy fiction…[Read more]

@rusted-knight Even if that historical event has nothing to do with the real world history? The events in this book and the events that trigger a change in leadership in the country are not from the real-world at all. I’m not even taking a real world event like World War II and changing it to see what would have happened if we lost. (which…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien That’s a really hard question =P

First and foremost, spy fiction is a genre. You should look into that.

@melancholicwriter

Sure, I’d love to!

@erynne
If it’s something you would read, would you like to Alpha read for me?

@melancholicwriter

That’s going to turn out very cool! Totally sounds like something I would read

@erynne

Thank you for the suggestions!

yes there is a good reason for them to flee to the uncle. So at the ball Mia wanders off and sees her stepmother and the earl together. She hears them talking about an evil plot (haven’t totally figured that out yet) Mia goes and tells Gabriel, but him, the loyal son that he is, doesn’t believe her right…[Read more]

@melancholicwriter

Hope you don’t mind me popping in!

I really like everything about it! I do agree with Gracie though. If you made that change it would make it really neat! I do have a couple questions about it though. Is there a reason that Mia and Gabriel have to flee to the good uncle? And this is just pure curiosity, does Mia have something…[Read more]
