I'm currently working on Chapter 11 of "Moonlit," which is the flashback chapter to how Rosalie and Edward become vigilante killers. I wanted to do a little research into Rochester, NY to add some atmosphere to the chapter, and it's impressive how much my approach to the chapter changed because of it. Don't you just love when things come together smoothly?
Bringing Rosalie and Edward into the story also means that I am finally bringing in the element that is going to mature Bella from teenager to young woman. The moral questions: is it right to kill? Is it right to not interfere when you can stop something from happening? Where is the line between justice and vengeance? Can people be rehabilitated? Are there those for whom there is no hope, and death is the only way?

Read "An Unexpected Lady" by JosieSwan today. Definitely enjoyed it! While the premise is valid, it is nothing but the catalytic event for the story. There is actually no exploration of early-nineteenth century English society. It seems more an excuse to get Bella and Carlisle alone together. Which is completely forgivable, actually, because you can't help but love reading along.
You get the impression that the author thinks of story complications as she writes, and then in later chapters has Bella reflect: "oh, yeah, now that I think of it." Again, this is completely forgivable. Continuity errors and small mistakes make no difference because the interest in this fiction completely sucks you in, and you have faith that anything you are wondering about will eventually get answered while you ride along with the author. JosieSwan, I might add, has come up with a very believable explanation for the hymen meets vampire body dilemma addressed in many fics.

The hymen incident really was believable! I didn't think shed come up with something like that, but i'll roll with it.
