As
I wrote Timespell, I hadn’t expected to hear three girls telling me their
stories at once, but that’s exactly what ended up happening.
Angie, Daughter of Past:
Sweet,
responsible, and well-mannered. Angie always has a smile for a friend, and she
still likes doing things that are supposed to be for little kids, like building
sand castles, swinging on the swings, and jumping rope. She has known about her
destiny as a Daughter of Fate her whole life, and takes her duties very
seriously; she tries very hard never to use the magic for selfish reasons. Her
room is always neat and tidy, her favorite treats are fresh-baked vanilla
cookies, and her favorite things to do are read, go to the beach, and
cheerlead.
Julia, Daughter of
Present:
Absent-minded,
sarcastic, and a bit of a goofball. Julia is a loyal friend who will stand up
and fight for someone she loves. She only discovered the magic of the Fates
recently, and she uses the magic whenever she can to make life easier. Her room
is always a cluttered mess and she never makes her bed, but she hopes to learn
a spell that will change that, too. Her favorite treats are gummy candies,
sometimes sweet and sometimes sour, depending on her mood. Her favorite things
to do are listen to music, watch TV, chat online with her friends, and play on
the internet.
Kaitlyn, Daughter of
Future:
Hard,
fierce, and every bit a bad girl. Kaitlyn appears cold and fearless, but
beneath her harsh exterior she is a lot more frightened and alone than anyone
sees. When she learns about the magic, she wants to use it to make herself
stronger, and it doesn’t matter how she might make that happen. Her room is
clean, but only because the maid keeps it that way. Her favorite treats are
dark chocolate kisses, and her favorite things to do depend on who is around.
Shopping, going to clubs, and partying are what she seems to like best, but her
real favorite things are video games, watching anime, and reading manga.
Sometimes
people ask if I have a favorite between them, and the truth is, I can’t pick
just one because even though they’re all so different, I can relate to a little
of each of them.
In TIMESPELL, the brash and impulsive Julia must team up with her sweet and straight-laced best friend, Angie, and the malicious and power-hungry Kaitlyn in order to keep the witch-like powers of her inheritance. But these powers come at a cost. The girls are bound to serve the Fates, and their first mission sends them back in time to Marie Antoinette’s Paris and eventually, into the chaos and war of the French Revolution.
