SYNOPSIS of STAY by Jennifer Silverwood
Sometimes,
love isn’t as magical as people expect it to be… Rona believes love is
nothing more than a myth, a tale for little girls. As the oldest
daughter, she knows duty and family honor as well as the difference
between salt and cinnamon. Until the immortal ruler of the seas appears
from thin air and she is swept into a dark and dangerous affair. What
was formerly myth soon becomes part of the everyday. And Rona believes
when Seid tells her they will be together forever. But forever is a long
time and after she betrays him, what was supposed to be an eternity in
paradise becomes an eternity in hell. Now she is cursed, unable to feel
human emotions except through the couples she is led to save. Two
thousand years is an awfully long time to live alone. And the business
of love saving isn’t what it used to be. By the twenty-first century,
love has become an illusion as grandiose as magic and Rona’s ready to
give up. Until the night she is seen by a human. Deep in the underbelly
of the city that never sleeps, she recognizes him instantly. He may
dress differently and have gained a few new scars, but she would
recognize the face of her former lover in any lifetime. Trouble is, he
seems to have no memory of her and he and his ex-girlfriend are the ones
whose true love she’s meant to save. But when he starts to fall for
her, she is forced to learn what it means to be human all over again.
Past and present come full circle in this tale of love, forgiveness and
woe.
Bio for Jennifer
Silverwood
Everyone
has to begin somewhere. I began my journey to becoming an author long
before I published anything. Storytelling was something I did every
night before bed with my father. We would create such wonderful tales
together, far better than anything in books. It sprung from our
imaginations. My mother ingrained a love for the written world early
on. Then my grandpa gave me his first typewriter when I was in
elementary school. You can guess the rest.
But
it was many years later, after dabbling in all the arts, that I
realized writing was my greatest passion. I grew up on the far
outskirts of the Metroplex of Texas, a busy world of cities within
cities. It’s easy to get lost in a place like this. Some might
argue that Dallas is the “New York” of the south and I might
agree. Rather than worry about being a little fish in a big pond,
however, I made up my mind long ago to follow my dreams. The funny
thing about dreams is they have a tendency to come to life in
unexpected ways.
My
best friends were my twin next-door neighbors. (Inspiration for the
three main ladies in Silver Hollow) We made up our own little book
club, complete with readings and brainstorming sessions. I loved
reading to them and they loved “the story,” as we dubbed whatever
project we were working on. As we grew up and went on to
different careers and schools, and I tried three different
universities. Needless to say, college didn’t pan out well for me.
So I did the next sensible thing and decided to write “for real.”
By
day I am personal assistant and simple childcare worker at the local
Learning Center for preschoolers. But by night, I moonlight as an
independently published author of Young/New Adult and fantasy novels.
My hope is that you enjoy my books and are encouraged to follow your
dreams as well.
