Counting down to ETCHED - #3

In ETCHED IN LIES, 16-year-old Dylan Lord has just discovered she can physically feel the lies told to or around her... she struggles to come to terms with a world and an existence in which she must seek for the truth at all costs.

As I prepared and wrote this story, I had to do some research about lies.

To celebrate ETCHED's release on December 11, 2015, I am counting down to one with some of the fun fact and interesting ideas I stumbled upon in the name of writing... as well as a tidbit or two about how I came up with the idea....

Happy Reading!

3. Children....

"I didn't do it."

"I don't know how that happened."

"It wasn't me."

"It wasn't my fault."

We've all been either (and/or both) on the receiving or telling end of these common childhood lies... but they don't really fade away... and here's the thing - children learn by modeling - so they see us lie and continue the cycle - sad, huh?

What? You don't lie to your child(ren)?

Santa.
Easter Bunny.
This will hurt me more then it will hurt you.
If you keep making that face, it will stay like that.
Maybe tomorrow... (in response to a request)
