ReplyDelete1) (a)"Trinity Coven"
(b)"Fly with Me"
2) (a) in the current version, not counting the dog, but counting phone calls: the MC's sister, Tali.
(b) easy. Alexa Danelle
3) (a) I have no idea. we don't actually meet her in person, just in voice.
(b) blue? I should be more sure on that! she's a main character!
4) both contemporary fantasy. though TC could also qualify as a Paranormal Romance.
5) (a) Three goddesses are reborn to summon a great dragon, and three warlock brothers are set to stop them.
(b) Magic is as easy as believing, but attracts hoppers that feed off that magic, killing the source.
6) (a) the witch coven versus the warlock brothers. who's in the right, and what will the outcome be?
(b) the threat of hoppers, magical beings who live off the magic of believers.
7) (a) F (b) F
8) F

All my research has been for traditional fantasy, I haven't paid as much attention to contemporary. maybe I should refine my current list to only include those who do both...
10) (a) T (b) T

4.) dark fantasy
