AHA! Susan, my savior. I knew I saw that it should be consistent and spell out under 100 in the CMS. I began to think I was losing my mind when all these people were emailing saying 10 and under, yadda yadda. I know that rule, but it does not apply always to creative nonfiction and fiction.

With numbers, it's not an either/or thing. CMS says to spell
out all numbers under 100; others use the convention of
spelling out all numbers under 10. The rule is not to mix
words and numerals -- so six of those, twelve of these --
or 6 of those, 12 of these, and 150 of the other. Also, when
speaking of specific numbers or measurements, use numbers
instead of words -- 5 cups of flour.
