For example, Christie (who has conscious control over Tiffany's body), missed all the sensual pleasures when she was a ghost, and takes every opportunity to stuff luscious rich food down. Tiffany, who can sometimes exert some control over the body, locks the elbows straight whenever Christie tries to load a handful of chocolate in. Tiffany's also not averse to punching herself/ Christie in the nose when Christie really oversteps the line (involving luscious young men). And, yes, a psychiatric evaluation is part of the story.<br /><br />I wasn't too sure how much detail to include about this in the query, as the possession comprises about a third of the narrative.Jo-Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705983780352542190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-26640979156168013092011-11-25T11:39:17.871-05:002011-11-25T11:39:17.871-05:00This new info sounds more interesting than some of...This new info sounds more interesting than some of the old.

I've taken it on board and I'm drafting a new query.<br /><br />About the seance - Tiffany and Christina were cousins, and Tiffany and her mother were quick to claim Christie's only valuable piece of jewellery, because it's "what Christie would have wanted." <br /><br />When Christie's friends challenged Tiff on this, Tiff suggested a seance, thinking she could rig it to make it look like it had Christie's blessing. Tiff got more than she bargained for. <br /><br />But I do try to get the readers' sympathy for Tiffany - after all, her mother is a life-coach who texts Tiff motivational psychobabble quotes on a daily basis. Christie happily sabotages all of the over-achieving Tiffany's goals.Jo-Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705983780352542190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-56695653214651683592011-11-23T18:36:32.026-05:002011-11-23T18:36:32.026-05:00I imagine some teenagers only need to be told not ...I imagine some teenagers only need to be told not to hold a seance, and voila!nonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00415222406280230021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-59513278497039133092011-11-23T14:44:52.399-05:002011-11-23T14:44:52.399-05:00You can TOTALLY hold a seance for someone you hate...You can TOTALLY hold a seance for someone you hated. Tiffany probably wanted one last opportunity to show Christie the bird in that YA appropriate attitude of "Neener neener neener." Then she got possessed like a bitch slap.

What's Tiffany's role besides of being a body donor?
