I think it's interesting that you include such details about the world in which your characters live, and you wrote this from one character's perspective. I am definitely more likely to reveal the world to my readers a little at a time, chapter by chapter, and maybe that's because it's how it comes to me when I write. Love seeing inside another writer's process! I enjoyed learning about the world from Riley's perspective.

I like your take on this Beth. When I come up with something, I tend to want to get it all together at once and then share it right away.

That being said, I was spurred on by a few readers who have read my creative nonfiction book, “Riley’s Garden Oasis.” That took place in current day, southwest Arizona. I began changing the timeline and they were confused so I wanted to set the stage.
