Inner voices know best

I seriously think some instinct is guiding my stories. In my outline for The Order of the Rose- which starts in the mid 1500s and stretches to modern day- I have a stronghold of the Sons of Scion in what is northern modern Germany. I’m watching a series on AHC - turns out that in the same area, Hitler had a cult type castle.
Love in the Shadows- for what will be #3, story takes place in Paris and Afghanistan- story came first. When I go to check things - terrain, weather and a host of little things- all were right.
The partial MC story? Bits and pieces were right- thanks, Kathleen! 😘 plus, yep, it has an outline growing - and I was skeptical about the weather this time of year. On target.

Now, I don’t usually do that. I spent days researching and planning out Order of the Rose to get dates and timing right. I can’t have them going from London to York in one day. Or Griffin going from England to Bayonne in two days. (His trip takes a week with a strong wind).
But when stuff like this happens in more than one series, sometimes I just take a deep breath and listen to the voices in my head.
