SYNOPSIS

In the early morning hours nearing her 17th birthday, Cat Townsend woke to the sudden blur of a mysterious unknown man sitting on the edge of her bed. She did not feel fear – rather a strange calmness overtook her. In an instant their eyes locked, he lightly touched her hand, and then he disappeared into the nothingness of night.


Caught in that undefined place between asleep and awake, the moment felt hazy and surreal. A chill ran down Cat’s spine as she glances at the time – it’s 2:32 a.m.


What unfolds in the first book of The Djinn Master’s Legacy trilogy, is young Cat’s personal struggle with the overwhelming choice to accept a destiny of magic. As she contemplates the merits of unparalleled power, her new and ordinary world in Savannah, Georgia is understandably shaken. The closer her decision gets, the more twisted her life with family, friends and boyfriend becomes. Will she choose to give up everything she cherishes?

Find out, in 2:32 A.M. The time everything happens.
 
 



Yesterday, Cat gave her thoughts on heartache, specifically her own, so I thought I’d invite her back today to ask her a few questions about her current situation and how being a genie has changed her life.
Hi Cat,
Thank you for joining me today!
1.      You’ve had quite a year! How have you adjusted to your new life? Has it been as simple as Finnegan made it out to be, or do you find that leading a normal mortal life isn’t so easy whilst keeping such a huge secret?
                        Well first, Finnegan never said being a Genie was easy.  In fact, he was very honest about how difficult this life would be. Everything is new to me still, but so far, nothing has been simple. Keeping the secrets from my family and Todd has been by far the hardest part. That’s why I broke down and told Hayden. I’m so relieved that at least he knows the truth.
2.      Would you ever consider letting your friends and the rest of your family in on the truth, even if it means losing them? 
                        I’m not sure.  Telling Hayden and watching him freak out is not an experience I want to duplicate.  But I’ve learned never to say never.  
3.   Speaking of family – how is Hayden? I have to admit I have a bit of a crush on him *blushes* Has your relationship changed in any way since he found out about you becoming a genie? And has he accepted your choice to be with Rolf rather than Todd?
            Hayden is great!  Well it’s only been a short time since he found out, and I think he’s trying to adapt to all that my being a genie entails.  I know it’s not easy to process…and I hate the way he found out!  I never wanted to shock him like that. No—I don’t think Hayden will ever accept my relationship with Rolf.  Todd’s his best friend…
4.      I know it must have been difficult choosing between Todd and Rolf! You had such amazing chemistry with them both. If you had confided in Todd and he had accepted your destiny, and of course if there wasn’t the whole “life partner” thing, would you still have chosen Rolf over him?
                        That’s a good question, a tough one.  “shrugs”   If you remove all the obstacles we face about my being a genie and base our relationship solely on natural love, Todd might have a leg up on Rolf, simply because he knows me so well. But that’s not my reality. In my world, Rolf is the one who totally gets me.  He understands more about who I am than I do, and that’s a powerful connection.  Not to mention, he’s so totally hot.
5.       Your final vision, what do you make of it? Has in made you question your choices in any way?
            I question every choice I make. Billions of times.
6.      Finnegan was a very wise djinn, what was the one most important thing you learnt from him?
                        There have been so many things, it’s impossible to pick one.  However, if I must it would be patience.  I’m not patient at all right now, but I guess it comes easier in time.  Living for eternity will teach me that I’m sure.
7.      With Valentine out of the way, do you still think there is any danger? I mean, Cue’s last remark was definitely threatening. Do you think he’d come after you to avenge her death?
                        Rolf has assured me there will always be danger in the genie world.  Either from Cue or someone else. 
 
 
 
Okay I think that’s enough seriousness from one day, let’s end this conversation on a lighter note.
 
8.      With all the magical abilities that you have acquired. What is the best and why?
            Are you kidding?  The power of time manipulation is the coolest.  Being able to take back what you say, speed things up, slow things down, go forward – nothing beats that.
9.      Have you ever been tempted, even for one second, to zap someone with magic if they have done something to upset you or hurt you in any way? (I know I certainly would have) *gives a wicked grin*
                        I’ve only had my powers for a short time, so I’ve been good so far….Hahaha!
 
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer a few questions. I wish you the best of luck in your new life, and I hope your heart finds the solace it deserves with the one you’re truly destined to be with.

 

About the Author

Debut novelist Emily Ford has always been a storyteller. As a kid at summer camp in Maine, she’d make up ghost stories at bedtime for her fellow bunkmates.
 
Her Djinn Master’s Legacy trilogy also began as a simple bedtime story, intended for Ford’s then adolescent children to have in writing and use to tell their own kids one day. By the time she finished writing, she had three very full books.
 
2:32 a.m., Ford’s first installment of her young adult series, caught early readers’ attention as a fiction book minus the typical vampire and werewolf characters.

The Texas writer interned each summer with KHOU-TV in Houston while gaining her bachelor’s degree in radio and television at The University of Arizona. She worked on the copy desk at The Dallas Morning News, and eventually started the marketing company KapsMark, Inc.
