Incantation, paradox, and an interview with a teen
I have a very special guest on my blog today--Ella, daughter of Dolores from Annamaria Bazzi's Incantation Paradox. Teenager Ella has no idea of the strange, mind-body-and-soul changing journey her mother is about to embark on, but I thought it would be interesting to learn a little of how she might feel about it all. If you've not read, or heard about the book, make sure you scroll down this page to find out more. And don't forget the rafflecopter at the end of the post--2 Digital Copies of
Incantation Paradox are up for grabs.
But first, here's Ella:
1. Hi
Ella.
Hello Ms. Sheila, thank you for inviting.
2. Can
I ask how old you are, or what grade you're in?
I’m seventeen and in ready for twelfth grade.
3. What's
your favorite music/band/...? Do you know what your Mom's favorite is? Your
Dad's?
That’s a lot of question. I like a few bands,
and different types of music. Let me see, there’s Imagine Dragons, and Maroon5.
You know I’m in love with Adam Levin, right? I also like Blake Shelton, Eminem
Beyonce… I could go on forever. My Mom? Oh, she really like Nickolback,
Maroon5, Green Day and this obscure band called Fools and Horses. I’m not sure
what my Dad likes, but I’ve caught him listening to this old guy named Julio
Iglesias, I think that’s Enrique’s father, but I’m not sure. My Mom would know
because she seems to like both of them.
4. Have
you ever wondered what your Mom looked like as a teenager?
I really don’t have to wonder what she looked
like. She has a lot of pictures. She’s a mix between Chloe and me, but I do
wonder what she was like as a teenager.
5. Do
you think teenagers' lives are very different today from when your Mom was a
teen?
Oh yes! She didn’t have to deal with the kind
of peer pressure I have to deal with, all the drugs and sex that’s everywhere.
6. How
do you think your Mom would cope as a teen in the modern world?
Hell no! Sorry, I’m not supposed to use four
letter words. One thing Moms never understand is that they are very naïve when
it comes to the lives of their children.
7. Did
you know your Mom came from a "broken home"? How do you think that
affected her relationship with you and your sister?
Yes, I know that Mom came from a broken home.
Many times after Mom and Dad fought she would reassure us that she would never
break up the family because she knew what it was like. Everything my Mom does
is to protect Chloe and me.
8. Did
you know your parents were going to get divorced?
Mom tried to hide that from us for a long
time. But you need to understand, Chloe and I knew that Dad sent her divorce
papers and we knew how long it took her to sign them. They used to fight too
much and Dad never wanted to carry his weight, I mean really wanted a real job.
9. Did
you ever wonder what would happen to you if something bad happened to your Mom?
Nothing’s ever going to happen to Mom. She’s invincible.
10. What
if she has a really bad car accident? What will you do?
Why would you ask such a thing? That’s
terrible! And no I would not go live with my Dad and his stupid wife. She’s so
young she could be my sister. I would try to stay with Chloe and live in our
home with the help of some of our good neighbors.
It was real nice chatting with you. Thank you
Ms. Sheila.
It was really nice chatting with you too Ella. Thank you for stopping by.
And now, for my readers, here's some more information about the book--it's the story of Ella's mother, and it's kind of scary, as you'll see...
About Incantation Paradox:
Magic is an illusion. It doesn’t really exist. Or does it?
A horrible car accident destroys Dolores Reynard’s life. But instead of waking up in a hospital bed, she awakens in a teenager’s body. Soon, she discovers she is at the heart of the murderous mystery surrounding the death of Mona, the young girl whose body she occupies. Caught between an evil greater than she ever imagined and a wizard who heals her tattered heart, she is forced to play a dangerous game of intrigue in the hopes of finding a way to return to her previous life.
Will magic be her ally, or will it lead to her demise once and for all.
