Top Ten Things You Didn't Know About The Hollow Trilogy - Day 10

We are officially ten days out from the release of THE HIDDEN, the final book in The Hollow Trilogy, and I could go through the usual questions - Is the town of Sleepy Hollow real? (yes, it is) Is the legend of Sleepy Hollow real? (Technically, no. The short story by Washington Irving is fiction, but it has reality based roots) What inspired you to write the The Hollow Trilogy? (I love The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, I love the Headless Horseman, I love the town of Sleepy Hollow, and I love Halloween) Is Caspian real? (sadly, for some of you, VERY sadly, according to what you tell me, no) - but I thought it would be fun to do something different.

So I decided on A Top Ten countdown of all the things you DON'T know about The Hollow Trilogy.

Starting today through September 6th, I'll post one new fact about THE HOLLOW, THE HAUNTED, or THE HIDDEN every day. A lot of these are things I haven't revealed yet (like the alternate ending for THE HAUNTED). So if you want the inside scoop, come party with me as we celebrate the upcoming release of THE HIDDEN!

DAY TEN: Feels Like Fall
I wrote a lot of THE HOLLOW during the months of June, July, and August and would take nightly walks to help me sort out the plot and get ready for writing the next day. The only problem was that in Abbey's world it was September and October. Which meant every night, without fail, I would reach for my jacket to put on before my walk because I would get so lost in my writing I constantly thought it was Autumn!
