GUEST POST
The Origin of the Shift Series
The idea for the shift series began with the question; If you could be anything, what would you want to be? My answer wasn’t simple, because I couldn’t choose. I equally wanted to be a wolf, a mermaid, and a pegasus, all for different reasons. I desired to be a wolf, because I liked the idea of belonging to a pack. I have a very protective nature inside me; just like a wolf defends their pack members. I wanted to be a mermaid to have the freedom the ocean offers. This I decided when I went on my first cruise. Having been out at open sea, made this yearning stronger. I dreamed of what it would be like to have a tail and escape the land for the aquatic world. Even in the pool while I swam I would wish that I could hold my breath indefinitely, and see without hideous goggles strapped to my head. I also I longed to be a pegasus. Now this form is obvious, because of my lifestyle. I train horses. While I ride I feel connected to the horse, like one creature. The only thing that could make horses better are a pair of long feathery wings. I often close my eyes while out on a ride, and I imagine we are flying high above the clouds. Not only that, but the obstacles, the hills, and the rivers that I have crossed while on horseback make me enjoy life, and the beauty within it. I had often dreamed that I could be one of these three creatures. When my nightmares came, like they so frequently did, I would become one of the three creatures to save the life of the ones I love. Losing a loved one has always been a deep fear of mine, and it’s no surprise that it is Callisto’s fear as well.
All throughout school I despised reading. I would actually refuse to pick up a book. “I’ll see the movie,” I would say to everyone. I laugh now, because more than likely you will find me laying in the horse pasture, on a bale of hay, reading. The first series I read, and loved was Twilight. Not only did I read it once, but twice, a third, and finally I read the series for a fourth time! Once I placed it on the shelf to begin a new series I found Harry Potter. This too I read over and over again, finding things I had missed or forgotten. Followed by Harry Potter I feel in love with The Hunger Games. I guess you can say I have an obsession with science fiction and fantasy. I’m not much of a ‘one book’ kind of girl. I adore a series. When I get to the last book I feel torn with sadness, hoping the author will release another so my adventure doesn’t have to end. I have obtained a great collection, including some romance novels. Nicholas Sparks is another of my favorites, he is a real tear jerker. I also believe if I don’t tear up, laugh, or feel a certain emotion that I am describing while I write, then the reader won’t feel anything either. I have to say I have shed many tears while writing my own series. My collection moves to The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm; this book I enjoy to read while relaxing in my house or on a car ride. I have far more books than that; more books than I have movies. Most do belong in the science fiction or fantasy category. The reason is this; when I wish for nothing else but to escape this world, I crack open one of my favorites, and I go on an adventure with my beloved characters. When I do re-enter the real world I am left feeling happy, like a person who has just returned from an amazing vacation. I do believe I will always write this genre. After the Shift series is complete, I have no idea what will be next for me. I do know I am no longer the girl who refuses to read. I am now the girl who is always on some kind of adventure.
