11. Anyone who directly witnesses someone die, has a near death experience, or actually dies and is resuscitated can see ghosts. Ghosts largely exist as they were in life, can interact with people who can see them, and can move on when they're ready. Or else risk becoming even paler shades.

5. When I'm well and truly in the groove I strive to write 5 pages every weekday. Sometimes more, but preferably not less. I've been taking a bit of a break due to the holidays

I'm Rachel. My current wip is the first book in a paranormal new adult series, This Time will be Different.
With similar vibes to Life is Strange and Pushing Daisies, it's set in a world where anyone who has seen death or nearly died can see ghosts... and nobody talks about it. #fantasyindies

Yes yes 1000% yes. Two side characters ended up being HUGE. Xander, a traitor to Ario's throne - Mara, the wolf shifter who tracked him. They both ended up being hugely important.

Peony, as a siren, is naturally musically inclined and pours her feelings into her music. Priestess Evelyn prays. And of course... the Goddess takes it out on her people.
