5 Quotes & an
Excerpt from Prophecy Girl
I'm big on holding back spoilers from
my novel Prophecy Girl. When I go to pick a book to read for myself,
I don't even read book descriptions anymore because I find they ruin
the beginnings of books. So when I go to tell people about my novel,
I have the hardest time because while I want to tell them all these
really awesome things, I'd hate to ruin the reading experience for
them.
Let's have the novel speak for itself!
Here are five quotes that hint at things that happen throughout
Prophecy Girl, and a short excerpt highlighting the destined romance
of Nick and Sam.
"Oh,
no! I'm not getting into sibling rivalry, especially not with
supernatural beings. Alright? No way, no how."
"The
world being at stake? Not an excuse for this one."
"You
can pace your cage or you can just sit in it, but it doesn't really
make much of a difference, does it? You're still in a cage."
"I
do have an evil mother, some people might hold that kind of thing
against me."
"She hated
seeing monsters smile. Monsters should growl and snarl and be done
with the pretenses."
Excerpt:
She scanned the
hallway again, and there he was. Her breath caught in her throat.
Down at the other end of the hallway, half hidden behind a pillar, he
nodded and half waved to her. His hair was its usual spiky mess, he
wore his favorite plain black wayfarer sunglasses and obligatory
black t-shirt, and yet he looked very different somehow. Distant. He
felt like someone she'd known years ago; he felt like someone she had
always known; he felt like someone who was tied to her straight
through the earth, even if he were all the way on the other side. She
wasn't surprised to see him, he was always going to be there. She
wasn't sure why she was so sure of that, but she was, and it gave her
both peace and heartache at the same time. She raised her hand and
didn't exactly wave, but moved it slightly to acknowledge his
presence at the other end of that string that tied them together.
Head down, she walked away and tried not to think about how much that
string had cost her.
Author Bio:
Faith McKay writes stories about
characters with real world struggles in otherworldly settings. She is
the author of PROPHECY GIRL, a story where characters struggle with
the idea of having a destiny. In comparison, she feels really lucky
that her destiny was to struggle with comma placement and be that
awkward lady who points out puns at parties.
Other things to know about Faith…
She wears two different colored shoes. She is a survivor of child
abuse. She has lived with chronic illness for over a decade. A lot of
people don't like her because she laughs too much. It's also the
reason a lot of other people do like her, so go figure. She listens
to more music than people are probably supposed to. She's a nomad.
The word sounds really cool, so a lot of people say it, but she
actually lives in an RV with her husband and their pet bunny rabbit,
Dorian Gray.
