Wild day lilies, covering the roadsides in West Virginia right now….
Conversation with 16 about Secrets Rising:
16: “So what is your book about again?”
Me: “Well, there’s this town, and weird stuff happens.” (This is how I wanted to propose it to my editor, but she wanted more details. Odd.)
16: “Why does the weird stuff happen?”
Me: “There was this electric storm, rain and lightning–”
16: “So people were struck by lightning and got superpowers?”
Me: “No, they don’t have superpowers. Supernatural stuff HAPPENS.”
16: “Because of the storm?”
Me: “There was an earthquake DURING the electric storm and it created the perfect combination of atmospheric conditions and pressure. There were these positive ions that were released–”
16: “Do you even know what positive ions are?”
Me: “That is not the point.”
16: “Peter Parker got bitten by an arachnid. That’s why he got powers. I guess that makes as much sense.”
Me: “Exactly.”
