Woahhhhh this story is so much fun. I love the nostalgia, the mystery, the curiosity, the other worldliness of it all. Where does it take place? You said that she came from half a world away. Does that get revealed in the coming chapters? I'm just curious if she is living abroad. Because I would love to feature some fiction in the new living abroad magazine I'm creating, and this would be such a good one if it fit!

Aah! Thank you so much! I’d imagined Haven’s Hollow on the Atlantic Coast but havent yet revealed the story of where she was raised…but it just so happens that we will be getting there in some of the later chapters. Write what you know and all that 🥰

Very effective, I must say! And in the "attic" prompt thread, yet. Quite apropos. 😉

Seriously, I want this be a series to watch. How f-ing fantastic this flows with characters intertwined as decent humans! The premise of the Lost & Foundry is phenomenal and - well, I do not want to give spoilers here. Thank you for the delicacy that you gave Winston and his love. Bravo!
