This story hits on at least 3 of my ongoing 287(g) threads: 1️⃣ small town police chief in VA signs an agreement in May, w/o town council authorization. 2️⃣ taps into the Task Force 287(g) cash cow, earning the agency over $100K from ICE. 3️⃣ town council sides w/ PD against vocal community push back.
the way that cordelia specifically haunts Brothers in Arms....as a testament to the soft political power of parenting...."miles, where is your [spoiler]?"
a civil campaign: what if a traditional historical romance was also responsible for tying up like six different character arcs from a military sf series and decided to do it all in the funniest way possible (it's perfect) (memory is my favorite)
perched like a gargoyle waiting for the brothers in arms/memory arc to hit
8yo went pretty hard for an acrostic poem that spells "soccer"

thank you so much for reviewing!!
listen--the way romance novels about very young people necessarily conflate coming-of-age with falling-in-love--the way these two people have already become themselves, a couple of times--
elise was the very first editor to pluck me (and so many other writers!) out of the slush pile. give & share if you can 💙
i adore a civil campaign. i think Memory might be my favorite? and chalion and paladin of souls!
omg i am so pleased to know this. i have read them.....so many times. i think i found them when i was 13 or 14? beyond formative really
