Book Description:
In a fit of temper, Gracelyn’s only sister curses her so she’s forgotten the moment anyone turns away from her. Only one thing, at an exact moment, can break the curse. After years of failed attempts, she is forced to accept living her life completely alone.
Her world becomes calm and
predictable —until one Halloween night …
one costume party…
and one masquerading man change
everything.
Jacqueline Paige lives in
Ontario in a small town that’s part of the popular Georgian Triangle area. No one has ever heard of Stayner, so she
usually tells people she lives “near Collingwood” and no, she doesn't ski at
Blue Mountain or at all, in fact she’s not even fond of snow.
Guest Post - Keeping It Short
Writing a
shorter story Is harder than writing a 200 page one. I didn't think this was true until I was
asked to write a novella. My first
thought was “this will be so easy”. I
was wrong.
With a
longer full length story you have all the time in the world to unravel the
plot, get to know the characters…with the shorter ones it’s hard to put it all
together so the reader gets the whole picture in a much shorter time frame.
Maybe I’m
a bit backwards (maybe???) but trying to write Behind the Mask and keeping it “novella” length was a grueling
process for me. I wanted to explore the
characters more and find all the little things about them that you didn't see. Gracelyn’s transition to becoming
Arianna could have been an entire full length novel. I had to keep cutting it
back until I was able to come up with the few snippets that brought the reader
from the time she was cursed until the present.
Needless
to say writing a novella takes me longer than writing a novel, it’s crazy.
AUTHOR BIO
Jacqueline Paige lives in
Ontario in a small town that’s part of the popular Georgian Triangle area. No one has ever heard of Stayner, so she
usually tells people she lives “near Collingwood” and no, she doesn't ski at
Blue Mountain or at all, in fact she’s not even fond of snow.
She began her writing career in
2006 and since her first published works in 2009 she hasn't stopped. Jacqueline describes her writing as “all
things paranormal”, which she has proven is her niche with stories of witches,
ghosts, physics and shifters now on the shelves.
When Jacqueline isn’t working
at her ‘reality job’ or lost in her writing she spends time with her five
children, most of whom are finally able to look after her instead of the other
way around. Together they do random road
trips, that usually end up with them lost,
shopping trips where they push every button in the toy aisle, hiking
when there’s enough time to escape and bizarre things like creating new daring
recipes in the kitchen. She’s a grandmother to four (so far) and looks forward
to corrupting many more in the years to come.
Jacqueline loves to hear from
