Since today is Halloween, it’s the perfect time to ask: Do you believe in legends? Do you believe that something that has existed for centuries might hold some kind of magical powers?
Like say…two jade statues?
In my book, EXTERMELY HOT— released this week!—there are two statues: The Jade Goddesses of Fertility and Virility. They are centuries old, dated back to the Aztec times and rumored to be very powerful. Their powers are the ability to unleash people’s deepest desires.
Some think they are aphrodisiacs. Some think they are priceless artifacts. And some people will kill to own them.
In EXTREMELY HOT ultimate bad boy Luke Sterling is hot on the trail of the stolen statues—and the trail leads straight to good girl Ivy York. Naturally sparks fly until things get…well…extremely hot.
In the end, both Ivy and Luke end up believing in themselves and trusting their love, than they believe in the statues. When you think about it, that’s actually a powerful kind of magic. And as the author, I can tell you that the statues helped them along!
Writing this book made me think a great deal about legends and their power. Do I believe in them? I believe that sometimes the power really is more within us than any statue or artifact. But still, anything that has “lived” for centuries is pretty awesome.
What about you? Do you all believe in legends?
I don’t know if I believe in anything that strongly, other than God, but I like the idea of legends and fairytales being grounded in truth, that maybe we are just to mortal, too human to “see” all of what’s really out there. I mean, other than the faith in some higher power, the idea of a goddess of fertility (or whatever) has been around for centuries – there must be something to that, don’t you think? I’d like to believe there’s more to it than what we physically see.
I’ve always wanted the Loch Ness monster to be real.
Stacy, I want to believe in a little bit of magic, or maybe it’s that I want to think we’re getting a little help when we really need it. But I also think our own minds do some powerful things–like making us “see” the Loch Ness monster
I do believe that there is a bit of “magic” in some things. But believing there is magic in something also makes us try that much harder to make our wish come true.
