Today’s Book Two Research

I figured a few things out over the weekend, with several plot problems finally resolved. Woo! I’m excited.

Of course, there were several issues that immediately arose, but research is my happy place. Here are a few of today’s searches:

  • Late 1800s geographic & soil composition maps of New Hampshire
  • Famous computer scientists from NH (search results were…interesting. Google, are you okay?)
  • Abandoned mines New Hampshire
  • Effects of sunlight deprivation
  • Buffalo chicken dip recipes

The last one might not be relevant to Paladin’s Legacy. Who could say?

Oh, and I finally got around to naming the buildings. Paladin University is using its recent expansion for some growth.

And please. Let’s not talk about the map of Lost Creek itself just yet. There might still be a lot of empty space to fill besides the campus, a graveyard, June’s apartment, and her beloved Athena diner.

June’s office is on the second floor of the Hale Building, directly over the end of the word “lower.”

And now, back to actual writing.

I took some liberties with this week’s prompt from Leigh Kimmel to make it fit with Paladin’s Legacy, book two of the Professor Porter series (which is achingly slow, but finally stutter-stepping its way along. “You hear a thumping from under the heating register, like there’s someone in the basement tapping on the ductwork. Except this house doesn’t have a basement.”

My prompt went to nother Mike: “The city had a sudden rash of helpful acts of vandalism.”
