Stolen
Time and the Shifter Origin
From the beginning, I
knew Stolen Time (The Time Series) would be about shifters. The idea of
changing into an animal always intrigued me. As I researched the idea, I wanted
a world that was based off of an ancient belief. Egyptian religion is riddled
with gods who are also animals. My story developed as I researched those
legends.
While much of the
shifter ability is built upon Egyptian tales, it needed to be modernized. I
envisioned modern day shifters in hiding. After all, wouldn't you be a little
scared of your neighbor if you know he could change into a grizzly bear? This
also presented a case for the antagonistic General. In accent Egypt, the
pharaohs were believed to be close to the gods because they could also shift
into animals. The General’s cause is to reinstate shifters’ place in the
current world.
Along with the
legends, I knew that my shifters wouldn't all change into the same animal.
Everyone has a different personality; therefore, everyone has a different
animal inside of them. Have you ever been told you have eyes like a hawk or
you’re cunning like a fox? In junior high, I started a new school and one of
the girls I sat next to in first period told me that I looked like a cat. At
the time it seemed odd, but it made me think. My imagination went wild. No pun
intended.
I want my fantasy world to be believable, and to
make my readers think when they see a garage door raised a little off the
ground, “Does a shifter live there?”
With Halloween coming up, what kind of shifter would
you want to be?
