Today I had the opportunity to share about my book on West Coast Live. The host, Sedge, has questions about how the Elibe work. Some of the most common questions I get from people are about the Elbie. So far it seems my readers fall into two camps, one group that is interested in the aliens and the other is interested in Lysandra & Esben. If there are any other groups out there I would love to hear from you.
So since these stories exist to show how Elbie interact with people I thought I would just give you a quick reference guide. If you have any follow up questions please send me an e-mail or find me on Twitter.

Elbie can inhabit any person but not every person is compatible.
Usually Elbie stay in the brain where there's the most electrical activity but they can stay in any part of the body.

Being A Good Host
As a host you would have better subconscious awareness.
As a host you can get deep restful sleep while still being fully aware of your surroundings.
Being a host would not increase your intelligence just the ability to use your brain to its highest potential.
When you're a host you may experience memories, cravings, or interests that you didn't have before, these are from your Elbie's prior host.
Hosts can experience increased physical strength, accelerated healing, and improved cognitive function. Effects will vary.
If their host is feeling tired an Elbie can give them a controlled boost of adrenaline for extra energy.
A host's body temperature is a few degrees higher than a non-host.
Elbie can help with your metabolism, thyroid, insulin, serotonin, anything related to the endocrine system. Increase white blood cells too.
To accelerate healing Elbie travel along the nervous system to the wound, speed up cellular growth while activating the proper chemical mix.
Elbie can signal to your body to create more white blood cells or antibodies to preempt sickness.
Most people can only handle 1 Elbie at a time. Some people can carry 2 but it is much more straining.
Elbie can also be like an internal health monitor that can make adjustments when needed to keep body temperature and chemicals in balance.
Being a host is like having a co-pilot in your head but since they don't get human behavior most of them make terrible wingmen.
Re: Elbie as wingman. Elbie can help a host out by producing extra pheromones that would make their host seem more attractive.
