We can’t forget about Magdalena, the next character in my Meet the Cast profiles for The Time Caper! Nico thinks Mags is suspicious right away, but Evie isn’t so sure. Can Magdalena be trusted? And how does she know so much about the mysterious box that everyone’s racing to find?

Nico’s up next in my Meet the Cast profiles for The Time Caper. He’s trying to impress his dad, so he can take over the family criminal empire, but he’s failing miserably. When Evie and her magic walk into his life, he may just have a plan to win dad’s approval after all.

Meet the Box, a character in its own right from my novel The Time Caper! It’s rumored to be death itself, and both the Baileys and Savinos want it to destroy the other. If the legends prove true, will Evie and Nico risk their families’ retribution to keep it out of their hands?

@vivianavasiu92 Send your queries out and don’t expect a response. Low expectations equals less heartbreak. I also kept a list of wins when things seemed bleak (i.e. personalized rejections - they do exist! And maybe piles even if they ended in rejection). Looking for the positives really helps.

Took a few weeks off from writing because … well, life. From a house move to the kids bringing home a slew of viruses, I needed the break. But got back to it last night, cracked open that screen and the words started pouring out of me. So happy to be writing again!

@mkdarqchylde I love chapter names, especially when they’re quirky and show the pov character’s personality. But I’m terrible coming up with them, so I stick to numbers.

Hey #writers ! Do you have a favorite POV and tense when writing/reading? Mine seems to vary based on genre. For fantasy and historical, I’m good with either 1st or 3rd person POV, past tense. For romance, I prefer 1st person POV, present tense. What about you?
