Bad Luck? Though Rocke gets rained on everytime he enters a graveyard, I'd have to say Rowdy has the worst luck. His phobia of spirits, fueled by accidentally ingesting a hoo-haw in an ale, seems to just attract more of them. Like being allergic to cats, they just KNOW...

The dark parallels between 1920s America and today’s political climate
The early 1920s in the US offers historical lessons on how current pessimism about the state of the country can manifest in dangerous, discriminatory ways.

To paraphrase Twain: "Almost right word vs. right word? Lightning bug vs. lightning." 😂 He nailed it. Tiny glow vs. raw power. That's my writer's struggle. Do i need that raw power? Or the tiny glow here? "Almost" gets me close, but "right" hits like thunder. #amwritingfantasy #writing #wordchoice

From Rocke Stoene: Graveyard Blues...
I mulled over the wisdom of stopping by my favorite pub, Kong’s Donkey. Most folk called the homey place Kong’s Ass, a name that caused the owner, Clift Kong, to ball up his fists in frustration.

Rowdy, a minor character in my wip, has to spill a single drop from his ale before he drinks it, a Quirk acquired when he once accidentally swallowed (or so he thinks) a spirit once.

Rocke is definitely a fatalist, After all, it ALWAYS rains when he has to interview a spirit in a graveyard.

A big threat is being identified as a necromancer...
Or attracting the attention of the real necromancers...

2-The characters in this WIP are a mix of extroverted and introverted.
3-As the novel revolves around a paranormal investigation into the causecaf a decades long vendetta, there are many lies. The first one that Rocke uncovers is that the witness lied... to everyone...
