- The title Inamorata is based on the names for the female slaves, which come from a word for a female lover, derived from an Italian word meaning "beloved".
- I had three alternative endings planned. I won't tell you what they were, but they were very surprising, some of them.
- Most of the characters come from my own ideas, but some are inspired by things I see. Caroline's appearance, for example, was inspired by a very beautiful girl I met in class one day. She was red-haired, blue-eyed, and a walking incarnation of beauty.
- I never anticipated that I'd actually ever finish Inamorata.
- My earlier drafts were far more profane and violent. I've cleaned it up for Wattpad consumption.
- Robin is the only character to be fully inspired - looks and all - by someone I know. So, to those of you who love him, his personality, though I've modified it, is based heavily on a real man, whose name I WILL NOT GIVE YOU.
- I cried when writing Clarence's death and then hated myself for a while.
- I secretly enjoyed torturing David emotionally.
- Steel, though it's never written in, will eventually forgive Caroline and David, even come to love them.
- Nightingale outlives Robin, and never recovers from his death. To say anything else is a spoiler for The Fires of Spring.
- Nightingale meets her mother, something I didn't have time to include in the story, but something I wrote as an extra scene.
- Sparkle and Glitter had been in love for a long time, but had kept it a secret, even from each other. The kiss after the raid was their first.
- David never stopped loving Nightingale. He died in her arms.

Okay, okay. This is it. In the grand tradition of pretentious writers on Wattpad, I've acquired a blog. Here I'll be posting various musings about my personal life and my experiences on Wattpad.
The personal life stuff is why it's staying here.
I dunno, is there anything anyone wants me to write about? Any questions anyone has? Because if you give me an idea, I'll make a post about it, but I can't imagine anyone's that interested in my life...
