Thank you for taking the time to pour out...Leanna, <br />Thank you for taking the time to pour out so much of yourself into this guest post. I imagine that your novel will be extraordinary if this is just a fraction of the attention you give to a project. <br /><br />My question, mythology is obviously your central ingredient in what has inspired you, and I can totally appreciate your choices. I have always enjoyed the smaller characters, perhaps because they had so many real human characteristics. What is it about ghosts that brought them so high on your list of inspiration? Myself, I find again those human qualities are still slightly at the surface and of course the fact that these apparitions really did once touch this globe. <br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to guest post. :)<br /><br />kalea_kane(at)yahoo(dot)comkalea_kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11645846028493046287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1827859728696001655.post-71091486946388280912009-09-03T20:55:09.021-04:002009-09-03T20:55:09.021-04:00Victorian London, ghosts, paranormal, bliss.

Percy's convent doesn't know what do to with her, she's older than most who attend the academy but her dying mother instructed she be schooled. Athens Academy is in the Quaker model, they were the most progressive in many forms of social <br />reform, abolitionism against slavery, women getting the vote and getting educated. I felt I needed to back up what I needed to have happen in the story with a more plausible setting, thus the Quaker model.<br /><br />Hodgepodge, <br />You're a dear! I hope you enjoy it! It will be out in the stores on Tuesday, I promise! :)Leanna Renee Hieberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687827421608625020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1827859728696001655.post-70850335155708436752009-08-23T10:28:53.894-04:002009-08-23T10:28:53.894-04:00Please Include me in your giveaway.

That's the greatest compliment an author can get, that something about their story and subject matter has really reached and moved a reader. I am so glad you've found this book, then, like a kindred spirit, as I've always loved these elements so much, I'm thrilled to hear when others cherish them too. I hope you enjoy the series!Leanna Renee Hieberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687827421608625020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1827859728696001655.post-27927941509161074672009-08-22T23:02:21.701-04:002009-08-22T23:02:21.701-04:00As I read through the three components which you i...As I read through the three components which you intertwined in this book, I felt something unusual down deep inside me. I can't label what it was but it certainly was a sign that I should read this book. <br />I admire all the research that you did for the creation of this story. To integrate mythology, Victorian history and ghosts takes a special gift. I congratulate you!<br />All three elements are a fascination for me and I usually have to settle for books that cover the topics separately. Your book is the perfect blend.<br />Thanks for writing such a special book.<br /><br />bstilwell12 AT comcast DOT netBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08558106690772183936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1827859728696001655.post-30860238650730422312009-08-22T17:26:28.797-04:002009-08-22T17:26:28.797-04:00Ashley,
