Content

As you may know, I am finishing up chapter 12 and working on a scene where you encounter Keith and the Silverthornes. This is no spoiler (especially for those reading my newsletters). You can bet a confrontation with this group is inevitable. Part of the challenge of writing this scene is to include enough styles of approaching the Silverthornes possible. Will you talk to Keith and find common ground with the Silverthornes. Will you threaten them to make them leave your group alone. Will you seek to join them or pretend to join them until you can doublecross them? I predict some MCs wanting to attack Keith on sight.

In this poll, please choose 1-3 options for how you will approach Keith and the Silverthornes.

I said make peace between my group and theirs because that's what I actually intend to do, but I did think of two options. Flood their camp full of zombies. If you manage to write in the Zombie Retrieval group, that could even play a role, one way or another. Another option may be to offer the SM first dibs on a cure/vaccine if you are researching the virus, and you could even stick to your word or doublecross them there and give them zeta virus.
