TEEN ADVENTURERS GET THOUGHTFUL
--Pat Esden
The main character in my YA gothic,Moonhill, has big--well, more like heavy--Valentine’s Day plans. Anie thinks Chase’s stone cottage is a bit too austere and could use more comforts. She picked up a big, cushy 1940’s armchair at an auction. Then, because the chair wasn’t all that personal, she bought him a handmade knife with antler handle and had his name etched into it.
The whole Valentine’s thing is a tough one for Chase. He’s never had to buy gifts until recently and never for a girl he has the hots for. Chase asks Selena to help him. With credit card in hand, she hauls Chase to Bar Harbor and helps him pick out a funky 1950’s Tiffany broach . . . and a silk scarf and a pair of stilettos. Chase brings it all home from the shopping trip, but leaves most of the ‘junk’ behind when he take Anie for a sunrise walk on the beach and gives her the brooch—which is much more useful as it can be used to pick locks or for self-defense if necessary . . .
