Greetings, all. For those of you who do not know her, I'd like to introduce my friend Annamaria Bazzi. I met her on Critique Circle and have known her for years. She has a number of self-published works and is about to add her novel The Incantation Paradox to her collection. I find her marketing efforts to be every bit as interesting as her writing. If you are a self-published author or thinking of becoming one, you may want to check out her social media links and see how she does it.
And now, on with the novel:
Many critics say that everything has already been written.
Can the human imagination be that small? Anyway, with this in mind, I decided
to take an old theme and make it my own, adding a twist of deception, murder
and intrigue into the mix. This is not Freaky Friday because evil lurks at
every corner waiting to satisfy the inner selfishness of one of the characters.
Can magic be blamed for everything that happens?
From the point of view of the main character, Dolores, I
never knew what Eric was thinking and why he did the things he did. I knew he
was a bad person, I just didn’t understand how evil he was until I decided to
rewrite the novel in third person to get inside his head.
I was shocked to find so much evil in one human being, but I
must be honest, I thoroughly enjoyed writing his character. The third person
also gave me the opportunity to bring forth Jason’s goodwill and feelings
toward Dolores. To make the bit of romance between them work, I had to use some
special event that happens only when they step into the veil of magic.
Yes, it is an overly done theme, but my version is very
different and if you enjoy murder, deception and intrigue with a twist of
magic, this urban fantasy might be for you.
I had a lot of fun writing the novel, and now I hope you
will enjoy reading it.
