Beyond the Eyes

Today's special guest is Rebekkah Ford. Rebekkah grew up in a family that dealt with the paranormal. Her parents’ Charles and Geri Wilhelm were the directors of the UFO Investigator's League in Fairfield, Ohio, back in the 1970s. They also investigated ghost hauntings and Bigfoot sightings in addition to UFO’s. Growing up in this type of environment and having the passion for writing is what drove Rebekkah at an early age to write stories dealing with the paranormal. At one point in her life, she thought she wanted to be a journalist, and although she enjoyed writing articles, she quickly discovered her real passion was writing fiction. Her fascination with the paranormal is what led her to write the ‘Beyond the Eyes’ series. Visit her online and read her blog at http://themusingwriter.blogspot.com.
AN INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR
What were your favorite books as a child?

Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss


What are your favorite books as an adult? How has your taste in genre changed over the years?

Interview With The Vampire by Anne Rice, 1984 by George Orwell, The Stand by Stephen King, All of the Harry Potter books by J.K Rowling, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater.

My taste has gotten much darker.


How did you select the genre you write in?

It was easy. I'm fascinated with the paranormal world and know quite a bit about it, so I chose writing in that genre. I picked young adult because I love YA paranormal books, and I still feel like a teenager.


If your book was made into a movie, who would play the lead roles?

Unknown actors. Hopefully I'd get to pick them out.


What songs would be in the movie's soundtrack?

Good question. Whatever It Takes-by Lifehouse, I'm With You-by Avril Lavigne, Enter Sandman-by Metallica


What are you working on next?

Right now, I'm working with my editor on edits and rewrites to the third book in this trilogy (The Devil's Third). It's due out sometime this fall.

Now immortal, Paige is emotionally and physically stronger than ever. She must find the location of the ancient incantations to prevent mass genocide. But the war against good and evil is spawning another war–a battle between the dark spirits themselves. Paige is saddled in the center of both growing revolutions and is ready to take on the dark forces. But Nathan’s overprotectiveness prevents her from taking action, and he’s hiding things.

Paige’s personal life gets more complicated when Brayden arrives back in town and offers the equal partnership she desperately craves from Nathan. Then there’s Carrie and Tree, her two best friends and only family she has left. Unfortunate circumstances thrust them into Paige’s dark world, giving her no choice but to allow Nathan to arm them with combat techniques in hope they’ll be able to protect themselves.

Meanwhile, Paige is having visions and discovering abilities she was unaware of. When Anwar comes to visit, his weird behavior alarms her. Could he be turning to the dark side?

Time is running out. Paige not only needs to find the incantations but also to untangle the bands around her heart and make a decision that could leave her with a life worse than death–a life of betrayal from the ones she trusted most.

If you could have the power to control evil, would you want it?
In a rainy, misty town filled with moss covered trees and dwarfed by wooded mountains, Astoria, Oregon, holds many secrets and eighteen-year-old Paige Reed is one of them. She’s immortal, has magical abilities she’s discovering, and harbors King Solomon’s power inside her.
