A screenshot of Plottr from Chapter 33, which takes place in "Public" with a very long list of characters, among them several historical figures as ghosts, such as Marie Curie, Victor Hugo, Catherine de Medici and many many more.

It's done! I've plotted the heck out of the second part of Ghosts of the Revolution. Finale, here we come!
How I know it's the finale? Just look at this not-even-complete cast list for chapter 36. 🤪

Submitted my first #Artfight attack - couldn't resist another hedgehog, so Malou went out and made a new friend.

Day 1 in Paris: went to Montmartre, the artist centre, including the cemetery where Alix and Sébastien had their first fake date. Malou enjoyed a macaron and we paid a visit to the Montmartre Museum.

#MayWeDance Day 2: Alix is a history student and ghost whisperer in Paris, who finds herself advocating for the long deceased. She’s kind and emphatic and while being ridiculed most of her life and recently hunted, stands up for what she believes in.

#writinglifemonthly I mean, I’ve barely started plotting my new WIP, but I wish I’d known beforehand that the bones of the French kings and queens were almost all destroyed, making it infinitely more difficult to integrate those ghosts into my existing lore 😅

Finished the most ridiculous ghost, a true Parisian Ghost 👻😂

Sorry for all the cliches. My nine-year-old challenged me 😅

Another theme is homelessness and community and speaking up for those who don't usually have a voice.

#ParisianGhosts is all about personhood and dignity after death and maybe what makes us truly human, but also standing up against oppressors.

And lastly #Ashuan is such a long series, it's...

In #ParisianGhosts, everyone is a human ... they might be dead humans, but there's no other magic or fantasy race.

#Ashuan starts in our world, so the majority of all characters are human, while the classic vampires/werewolves are monsters of the week. I do have a weak spot for demons, though ;)

#UFMarch Day 25: I started #ParisianGhosts with a normal and happy (!) family of five. Alix even still lives at home. However, I also made her the middle child of 3 sisters, and boy do they bring the drama, especially her older sister Hélène, probably one of the most hated characters in the series..

#UFMarch Day 22: I usually don't do murder cases (just as I don't do sleuths), but in #ParisianGhosts 4 I had to. Why? Because it was inspired by the Phantom of the Opera and you can't have the phantom without the victims, you know ;) (cont.)

#ParisianGhosts
Alix: no weapon
Gaspar: no weapon
Sébastien: salt gun
Dix: ghost replica of a gun

#Ashuan
Samantha: magic weaving
Matt: sword
Fabian: water magic
Lucille: attack spells
Jan: karate skills, reverse healing
Rachel: dream intrusion, crossbow

#SpiritSeekers
All characters: dryad staffs

#SFFChat Q2: Now, this is a huge theme in #ParisianGhosts, because my afterlife is built on every one hanging around until they're forgotten. For ghost whisperers like Alix, the ghosts appear like normal people, they can be seen, heard and touched. However ...

#SFFChat Q1: I try to have a diverse and inclusive cast but it's not a theme per se. That said, in #ParisianGhosts, I have a lot of historical figures, thanks worldbuilding, which forces me to pay extra attention to not just picking the dudes everyone knows but feature other figures as much as I can

#SFFChat Intro: hi there, I’m Janna and I write action-packed urban fantasy set in Europe! But more importantly, I’m releasing my new book today: Ghosts of the World Fair, #ParisianGhosts 6 🥳😘

#pretendpanel Well, in #ParisianGhosts death is very much baked in, because we're dealing with ghosts. But on a more general note: death is a part of life and it's a part of story, sometimes, I use it to advance someone's development or to change the trajectory, sometimes, it's simply a consequence

#UFMarch Day 15: For #ParisianGhosts, I wanted to do something different, as in the FMC comes from a loving family. She even still LIVES with her family and it's been a good source of all kind drama but also wholesome dynamics and made her a bit more grounded than others.

Alix is doing her Masters in history. As a part time job, she's a tourguide at the Panthéon in Paris.
