Hi everyone
I've taken a short break from writing and the plan is to get back into it this weekend (in case anyone was wondering).
In the effort (started by K.) to direct all Google searches to darkness, I have changed my pen name to my initials and have removed the space between Northern and Skies. You can still call me Janet, but I'd appreciate it if you could refer to NorthernSkies as NS or without using the space just to be on the safe side. Thanks! 
I also have a problem and would appreciate opinions on this.
So given that all Matthew's leads have ended in dead ends, the plan is to have a fair which in theory should make it easier to attack either Matthew or Anthony. My thoughts were there would be plenty of people around that would make it really easy for a bad guy to blend in. Now obviously he isn't going to shoot Matthew in the middle of the archery contest (it's only a sweetener so to speak and to reduce the number of suspects since our bad guy s really adept with a bow) with hundreds of people around. The whole idea is to make it easier for him to get to Matthew or Anthony on his own time.
I'd think it would be draw for anyone planning to kill Matthew or Anthony. I mean, he can walk about openly carrying a bow and no one would bat an eyelid because there would be a lot of men walking around with bows and arrows.
So one review left this comment:
Now Catherine's plan is for a big party including an archer match to what, flush out this guy? And this guy is the one who stole Matthews' arrow. Explain to me in detail just how this is gonna work.
So I don't understand what is so hard to understand. Is it really that difficult? You have a fair and hope the guys tries something and you can get him. Or is this is a stupid/flawed idea?
I'm not against changing anything, but the brilliance of the fair is that all the suspects will be there and will be mentioned, so it's ending up to be a nice summary of everyone who 'could've done it'. But if a fair isn't a logical or reasonable or believable way forward to try and catch this guy, it needs to go.
The same review also asked that I need to clarify that the bench that Catherine and Matthew are sitting on, is not in public (yes, Catherine will sit in public in her chemise ...). So I don't know if this person is just being difficult. And this person has been on my back so far that I need to go into much more detail when Matthew interrogates people and that he need to be much more forceful (the one with Alice, Isaac's sister, the 12 yo girl who overheard the first conversation at the abbey ruins is valid - a lot of reviews picked up on that insisting it should be a scene in its own right and not just a thought/backstory), so I don't know if this is another one where people are thinking this is a Historical Mystery (does this even exist?!) instead of realizing or remembering that this is above all a Romance.
Please help before I rip all the hair from my head!
Thanks!
ps - I'll try and catch up with the forum, I've been lurking in the background, but not too much, so I need to get up to date with all that's happening! Hopefully this weekend!
