What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I loved stories about fairies as a child and the darker traditional faerie stories appealed even more as I grew up, so I wanted to write my own. When humans are abducted in these stories, they return years later, though the faerie can also arrive for significant occasions, so the faerie must have a different relationship with time. They also love playing games. The humans in my story are caught up in a faerie game that casts them adrift in time.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The Faerie characters are shaped by their competitiveness and their inability to understand time or cause and effect. Over the course of the series, some of them do develop these abilities, largely through the time they spend in the human world.
The human characters, Rose, Margaret and Alison developed as the story did — I didn't know how they were going to be as individuals until I'd put them into the situations and relationships that would shape them.
