But there is a different way.īertrand Wayland, unaging and unrelenting in his determination for Maggie to accept her fate, slips in and out through the stitches that bind the Siren’s Realm to other worlds, gaining magic and having glorious adventures. Fighting or hiding seem necessary to survive. Those with magic are hunted by the Stricken. Those without magic are hunted by the Siren. The time for the Siren’s reckoning has come, sweeping away all she deems unworthy to live in her realm. Seventeen-year-old Maggie Trent fell out of a battle and into the Siren’s Realm, a land where secrets hide in the shadows and pleasure comes at a price Maggie is unwilling to pay. Death would have been easier, but the Siren wasn’t through with her. Wash day was the day i'd get Mami all to myself. Sparkling white, and river cleanthe clothes smell like fresh-air dreams.We clip them safe to bushes and treesto dry in the sun and flap in the breeze.Later, under the moon's blue lightMami and me smooth the wrinkled clothes right.We fold them into neat little squaresAnd take them back home for all to wear. Then WHACK! I smack the clothes on the rocksto scare out all dirt and grassy spots.Mami scrubs them up and down, and we both swirl them round and round. Our friends wave hola as we slippery-slide On river-age stones to the other side.Where sun rays glimmer on a whisper of shade.And Mami and me tie our hair up in braids. We juggle the soap, the scrub board, and clips. Saturday is wash day for Mami and medown by the river that flows to the sea.We carry the baskets high on our hips. And when you do, that's when it is time to take charge because you sure don't know when the chance will come again. Sometimes you have no control over what will happen next, as I discovered the year I was twelve years old'but sometimes you do.

She was strongest of us all, but her round hips remained firmly planted in her saddle. Synové hesitated, watching me uncertainly. Wren dismounted too, her thin limbs gliding to the ground as silently as a bird. Midway, as the valley narrowed, Natiya stopped and slipped from her saddle, pulling a folded square of white cloth from her saddlebag. Soon, all the destruction would be in the belly of the earth. Our gazes scanned the rugged cliffs and the crumbling devastation of a war that was slowly being consumed by earth, time, and memory, like the awkward swallowing of a fat hare by a patient snake. Natiya led us deeper into the valley, unafraid. One of them slid a cool fingertip along my jaw, pressing a warning to my lips, Shhh, Kazi, don’t say a word. I felt the ghosts hovering, watching, wondering. It had been six years since the Great Battle, but the scars were still visible-overturned wagons eaten up with grass, scattered bones dug from graves by hungry beasts, the skeletal ribs of giant brezalots reaching skyward, birds perched on their elegant bleached cages. My horse’s ears pricked, watchful, a rumble deep from his throat. We rode through Sentinel Valley, ruins of the Ancients looking down upon us. They call to you in unexpected moments, their hands lacing with yours and pulling you down paths that lead nowhere. The words lingered in the air, each one a shimmering spirit, cold whispers of caution, but I wasn’t afraid. And I thought, oh, what a clever thing to call him, you know? Because in the first book, he is actually being sent picture puzzles. And I wrote the first Rebus novel when I was in my early 20s and I was a postgraduate student of literature at the University of Edinburgh. And when I was a little kid, there was a Sunday newspaper we used to get in Scotland, and it had a page every Sunday of kids' puzzles including a rebus. RANKIN: As you pointed out, a rebus is a picture puzzle. He's very close to his colleague, Siobhan Clarke, but she's learned a lot of bad things from him and she's desperately trying to go it her own way and shrug him off. RANKIN: He's a solitary sort of character. HANSEN: For those who have yet to read a Rebus mystery, describe him.

But the controversy of his relationship on and off the track with Vettel, who went on to win multiple world titles, has never been far beneath the surface. He hit the front pages of newspapers around the world in December 2014 when he slammed into the barricades in the final round of the FIA World Endurance Championship in South America, and was lucky to escape with his life. Since retiring from Formula One Mark has concentrated on endurance racing, including the legendary Le Mans 24 Hour race. In 2010, while racing for Red Bull, he and his team mate Sebastian Vettel went head to head for the World Championship.

Were there any real-life events or companies you thought about while writing? Aside from Abby and her inner life, the book is also about this monstrous corporation, Optimal. Those are all things that I think are relatable to almost everybody, women especially. Those are all the things that I wanted to explore. That was where Abby started in her character breakdown. You think you bury something but really it’s still there, and it becomes crippling and you have to go back and face it in order to truly move forward. I wanted to explore themes of having something buried in your past that you’re running from or that you think you’ve left behind, and then when you become an adult, those survival mechanisms that have helped you survive for this long don’t work anymore. I always use myself as a way in and then from there embellish and create and imagine and it becomes fiction of course. How much did you draw on your own experience when creating Barrens?
