But just in general, how did you think about creating your own paranormal set of rules?

It definitely evolved as the book evolved.

I knew what the major conflict was.

I knew what my ending was very, very early on.

And figuring out how much ghost logistics to include was a long conversation with myself, then with my agent, then with my publisher of, you know, you're walking that tightrope of how much is fun, how much is interesting, where is the line between immersion and breaking the fourth wall that like there was a there's a point where you can go too far and then you're so focused on the logistics that you start to poke holes in it and i wanted to stay back from that the idea of ghosts being linked to electricity is certainly within public consciousness i've definitely read ghost stories that involve electricity um ghosts Screwing with electromagnetic fields is big in all ghost lore.

But I definitely came into this book with these are my ghosts.

This is my ghost system.

Yeah.
