Meet Layla McKelland:
Novelist (unpublished, but cut her some slack…seventeen is a
bit early to despair),
Slightly neurotic introvert (Alright, let’s be
honest…there’s no “slightly” about it),
International Woman of Mystery, and…
Okay, just scratch the bio.
The only real “mystery” in Layla’s life is why her father
has never been on the scene. Or why her
mother drags Layla to a new coastal home every year.
Nothing about the latest hometown seems too newsworthy…until
a routine day at the beach leaves Layla questioning whether she’s read one too
many paranormal fantasy novels. The plot
thickens when a random guy claims to know things about her father—a bizarre
claim he backs up with an equally impossible stunt. And Layla soon finds herself on the wrong
side of a mysterious attempted drowning…on her own kitchen floor.
When all is done, Layla will attest that fact is far
stranger than fiction. And nothing in
real life is ever as transparent as it seems…Not even water.
Especially not
water.
Aqua
Character Bios
by M.A. George
Aqua has a pretty eclectic cast of
characters; and who better to ask for a bio on each of them than our
narrator? Since Layla is a novelist
herself, I threw the assignment of composing these character bios into her lap. (Nice of me, right?) She especially appreciated being tasked with
writing her own bio. (By “appreciated”,
I mean rolled her eyes and grumbled a few choice words under her breath.) Enjoy her take on things!
Layla: I’m seventeen.
Self-professed book nerd. I read
them. I write them. I stroke their covers and mutter “My
Precious”. I’ve always been a little
quirky; but I never considered the possibility that I could deviate quite as
far from the norm as I have lately.
Anyway, enough about me. On to
the rest of the crew…
Pyke: Talk about deviating from the norm. Piercings, tattoos, scraggly beard, apparent
aversion to shampoo, and seriously twisted sense of humor. It’s thanks to this guy that I’ve
contemplated booking a room at the local asylum. He delights in sending me into a mental tailspin. Lucky me.
Zría: I have one word for you: Turquoise.
Turquoise hair, turquoise tattoos, turquoise bikini, turquoise lips
(Yeah, I know…It’s as weird as it sounds).
She knows her own mind, and apparently her mind really likes turquoise. I
wish I could tell you more about her; but she only shows me what she wants me
to see…and that’s boatloads of turquoise.
Tristan: Ah, Tristan. Guardian of my sanity and my safety (from the
people who inexplicably seem to want me dead).
Don’t get me wrong, Tristan’s done his fair share of throwing me for a
loop with the supernatural craziness.
But he does it with such an innocent smile, and a sheepish rake of his
fingers through those curls, that I have to forgive him. Wouldn’t you?
That’s not everyone…There’s Mom, Aunt Cora, my incommunicado
dad. But explaining their stories opens
up a can of worms like you wouldn’t believe.
I’m still trying to wrap my head around all of it, so we’re just going
to have to call it a day.
About The Author
M. A. George is part proud
mother of two adorable children, part super top secret agent…Oops, probably
just lost that job.
Writing is what keeps her up
into the wee hours of the night.
Fortunately, she has a lot of energy (Read: caffeine is her
friend). She has a bit of an obsession
with music (It does a fantastic job of tuning out rambunctious children while
she attempts to focus).
She sincerely hopes people out
there enjoy reading her work as much as she enjoys writing it. And if anyone hears of work for a super top
secret agent, she’s now available (Discretion guaranteed…).
