Throughout her long and horrendous ordeal, Annie Laurie Balfour has, nonetheless, remained whole. However, now that the tables have turned, and she is in possession of the ultimate weapon, can she still remain the woman she truly is? Or will she succumb to the desire for vengeance. Will the new power corrupt her, or will she be able to withstand that mad desire? Morag MacDonald has placed the power in Annie’s hands, and only time will tell if she can wield it wisely, but wield it she surely will.
Ordinary people are capable of remarkable feats given the right set of circumstances and these days, maybe more than ever, we all need more everyday heros.
The stories I love best are ones in which I could see at least a part of myself and that is actually the starting point of many of my stories. I am an observer. I love to people watch! I can’t help but notice what makes an ordinary person stand out to me and I can’t resist building stories around those unique character sketches.
The stories I least like are ones where the “hero” remains tormented and without resolution even at the end of a book. If I wanted reality, I’d have watched TV. Good fiction should entertain, and have a momentum of its own that carries rather than drags the reader along. My stories are intended to transport the reader away from the stresses of their day-to-day lives, and to sweep them up into a different world where people much like themselves overcome challenges and have remarkable adventures.
My goal is to write stories that inspire people to be their own everyday hero; to imagine new possibilities for themselves and perhaps change the course of their own story. I invite you to join me on the adventure.
