Extended Author's Note:

This is obviously going to be longer than the original book. Likely because I've become a better writer and I actually had to plan this one. The Haunting of Peter Pettigrew is the first book I ever finished which is so weird to me because it's a book I began convinced that I'd loose motivation. But then I kept writing. And writing. And then it was over and I was given a sense ot accomplishment I can't even describe.

And the response has been great! Harry Potter fanfiction is so abundant, the fact that anyone found and read and LOVED mine was overwhelming.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

So, to honor you lovely people who loved that book, I'm giving you what you asked for. A real look at Lana Bowers as one of the Marauders. I hope you'll continue to love her as much as I do when you understand the girl she was before Death took her. She goes through a real journey growing up with her band of troublemakers and I'm so excited to share more of her story with you.

One of the big differences between Haunting and this one, is a specifically curated Playlist for each chapter. In fact, each song is a part of the chapter names. I don't want you all to think I'm being evasive by only dropping the chapter titles. People, I'm giving you a unique insight to my brain with this. (Please don't be scared.) I've lost count of how many hints beyond the obvious lie with the chapter titles and song choices. Literary references are not accidental. Words were chosen VERY carefully for each character in respect to their life and growth in the book. While you wait for me to figure my life out and write, please feel free to start your predictions for Lana and the boys from these titles!

Love to all of you! I can't wait to start publishing for this story!
