After losing steam with my Season of Mists plot, I am currently working on merging it with The Veiled. Adding the paranormal aspect into the plot is proving to be a challenge but not a bad one. Many of my friends online have stated that it is hard to see Amelia in this world and it is, but she will be one of those characters who must grow into her role. I enjoy characters like that. Recently, I picked up The Season by Sarah MacLean and was disappointed when all three MC (main charaters) were strong willed. One – ok, but three all at once made the plot too modern and pulled me out. I will keep on reading it, but not really that excited about it.
Originally, Amelia was going to be 15 years old but making her two years older allows the romance aspect to be a lot more approachable. In the Victorian era, girls younger than her were being auctioned off to older men, since younger ones did not have the means to marry early. I used “auctioned” loosely, although the concept is there.
So, the section for The Veiled will now be a prologue. I haven’t updated this site with the new versions, but it’s coming.
