Re: QUERY: BELLE (YA-FANTASY)

Off the top: Apologies to JuniperJenny but "is informed" is in the present participle and the active voice (the progressive aspect) unless I'm totally mistaken. Same thing with "is issued." It implies action of limited but possibly incomplete duration. I think it's understood in ...
