4. What’s the time period and location in which the novel takes place?
Technically happening right now!

6. What’s the first line of your novel?
“The first thing Quinn remembered when she came to was Salem telling her to go home. It seemed her head finally decided to punish her for not taking any pain medicine in the form of passing out. And unfortunately, her best friend was there to witness it.”
7. What’s a line of dialogue you’re particularly proud of?
The last line I shared in my latest last line tag game!

I don’t think I have a line like that, yet. hmmmmm...
9. Who are your characters’ faceclaims?
I am still looking.
10. Sort your characters into Hogwarts houses.

Ravenclaw: Quinn, a currently unnamed antagonist

Alessa: hard to describe...she’s a kind of bounty hunter soooo (I’ll work on it)
Devi: also a kind of bounty hunter soooo
Dorothy: she’s a grandma so she’s wearing stereotypical grandma stuff
David and Ada: they’re wildlife photographers so they’re wearing hiking clothes and clothes that fit the climate they’re in

I haven’t thought about it...I’m gonna say not yet.

Well, David writes for Nat Geo, Dorothy wrote her own observational journals, and Quinn is in college for creative writing sooooo

Salem. (which is funny because Dorothy is Salem’s grandma)

Least....either Devi or Alessa.
20. Which character would you most like to be?
OOOOOO..... there’s a character that I’m developing right now, and is unnamed but even the idea of them is exciting.
I would also love to be Devi.
