Q&A with Lori J. Schiele discussion

A few bits of Trivia about "Wiccan Shadows".

If anyone has any questions, or would like other trivia questions answered, please feel free to post.

The name of the "Laurel Tree Coven" comes from my first name, Lori, which means "of the laurels".

Rune, the faithful Abyssinian familiar of the main character, Alex, is copied after my own familiar, Bamf who died just one month short of being 20 years old. She wasn't an Abyssinian, but was a beautiful black cat with occasional white hairs.

The untrainable and obstinate, although loveable bulldog, Gordy, is a take-off of my friend's bulldog, Bentley.

The three main female characters are a loose compilation of myself. Alex is most like me in personality and physical appearance. Jen is the veterinary technician who works with feral cats, and has the triquetra tattoo on the back of her neck as I do. Robyn is much like the teenager I used to be, although I wore more denim and flannel than the wild outfits she chooses to wear.

All of the rituals and incantations are unique and created by myself. They are kept as realistic as possible.
