I’ve done more thinking on Ector the Balloonist, my little children’s book series.
Ector is twelve. If it’s a 8-12 year old series in the vein of Skullduggery Pleasant or Ember or Artemis Fowl, then this makes the most sense.
He’s deaf. I’m deaf, ergo.
He’s not an orphan per-say, but his parents left on a Very Mysterious Mission several years ago and send Very Mysterious Letters every so often.
He’s in charge of the balloon because his grandparents can’t travel too far to keep up the family courier business and his older sister has gone to school.
He talks to his grandparents on the radio a lot for advice so there’s adult presences, but not overwhelming the story.
His passengers are usually kids like him and not technically his mission.
He has a magical pet called Phyllis. Phyllis chose that name because they thought it was cool.
Magic exists alongside technology because why not.
I’m trying desperately to not take inspiration from the Mortal Engines series.

Sunday, September 22nd: Hello, everyone. I’m Gem, a bi, mentally ill, and disabled woman in desperate need of help, as even though I've managed to pay my rent arrears, I am still struggling to keep my utilities on!!
I apologize for asking for help again; as most of you know from my previous posts, I have been struggling quite a lot to make ends meet while on welfare benefits and due to my rent arrears and ever-increasing debt. And to be quite honest, these past few months have been absolute hell for me, and with no other income, I've been relying on the kindness of others to get by.
However, I'm in desperate need of that kindness again, as even though I've recently paid off my rent, I am still struggling to keep my utilities on and their in emergency credit of £4.99. I don't receive my disability & welfare until the 30th and urgently need help.
I know this is a lot to ask, but if anyone could spare any amount to help me, it would literally save my life, and sharing definitely helps just as much.
I’ve decided that his first “passenger” is a fellow twelve-year-old girl called Helle and she introduces herself by brute-forcing her way into Ector’s balloon in the Valley of Shifter to slay a shifter pretending to be her.
Absolutely no mention is made of her being an action girl.
