Thank you for having me here today, Krystal.
When writing this b
ook, Faith was definitely the most fun character to write, but also the most difficult.
When working on the character of Faith, I knew that I wanted her to be similar to Rayner in background and personality, like two pieces of a puzzle coming together. So, I made her a Native American, a girl of twenty-five who gives her parents a lot of grief and is in the big city living the life of a young woman who loves to try new things. She doesn't know it, but she also plays a huge part in a Native American Legend.
I searched high and low through what seemed like thousands of Native American legends to find on that would work with my story, but I didn't find one. I had to take the liberty of making up one of my own.
I based her childhood loosely on my brother's (he was a bit of a trouble causer as well). Her life when Rayner enters the story has some shades of my friends and me in our twenties.
Faith was a lot of fun, and she became very real to me. I was happy to release her out into the world, but sad to see her go.
