you are so absolutely biased. completely and totally. but i'm really glad you love the story this much.
as its getting close to the end of the story, i felt it was time that Isis got to be Regina in more than just name. i realized that i hadn't really had her doing much that was very alpha like, in the context of the story. so this seemed like a good way to show that she is very much Regina and it isn't just because there's no one else to do the job.
you know, i do actually feel sorry for Ruth Ann. completely. it had to be hard to realize that the man you gave your heart to, that you gave children to, was nothing more than a user and an abuser and a fucking all around creep. i have no doubt that her mother and father had a relationship that was enviable. and i believe she really wanted that with Carter. so she just... shut herself off as much as she could. was that fair to Aedan? no. not particularly. but do you blame her? one day, her husband walks in with a baby in his arms and says "BTW, this is my child. her mom is dead and she needs a family. guess what? you're her mom now!" Ruth Ann was very much a victim, as much as any other woman Solomon laid hands on.
Aedan's back story just kind of... poured out. i've been working and working toward it for some time now, and i think she was ready to be done with it. to get rid of it. to just... not let it control her anymore. once she started, it all just fell out.
i don't know about complex. and i don't know about engaging. but i have tried so hard to make it a coherent piece, to keep it interesting and... sort of unique? i want characters that feel real. their reactions, their speech, their everything. i want it all to feel as if it could be taken out of print and still be realistic. this will surprise you, but the plots do not feel intricate to me. its just this big mess in my head that kind of spills over and out onto the page.
thanks for reading, honey. and thanks for commenting. i'm seriously glad you're enjoying it.
