Here's my review...
Check your Karma at the door!
Hold up - this book was a lot of fun! I love my share of romances, but this was one I couldn't put down. Peters lends such depth and dedication to her characters that draws you in so far, that when you're reading, it's like you really are standing next to them living everything they live and feeling everything they feel. I loved how the author pulled the time-travel aspects into this book, an expert weave of leaving you wanting more. The idea of karma and being able to fix things from past lives was wonderful. The book is well-written and one where you'll carry the characters with you forever and wonder what you need to do in your life to make up your own past lives mistakes.
Here's more from Ashantay herself on karma, the book's origins, and past lives...leave a comment and tell us if you've led any exciting past lives!
Welcome to Quill or Pill!
Tell us, how do you define "karma."
1.
Karma, as many of us have heard or experienced, can be a bitch. But
you've asked me for my definition so here goes. Buddhists and Hindus
believe karma is the sum of all of a person's actions in all their
lives. How they've acted determines what they will face in the future.
After a lot of experimentation (read "acting out"), I understand that
because karma is the result of my actions, I can change my life by
controlling my reactions, thoughts, and actions. If karma is a bitch,
it's because that's what I've been.
Where did you get the idea for the book?
2.
The idea for the book came to me, well...I'm not sure. I'd seen the
movie"Sliding Doors" years earlier, and wanted to try my own take on the
idea of parallel lives. I'd done just enough reading on quantum
mechanics to be dangerous, and then there was Big Bang Theory awakening
my slumbering interest in science. So, long story in one phrase - it was
time. Still, from start to finish the book took over two years.
Do you think you've lived past lives? Can you share?
3.
Yes, I know I've lived many times before. No, I wasn't Cleopatra or
Napoleon, though I did live in both Egypt and France around those eras.
And in Greece as a man. Mongolia as a hermit-type male. There are a
number of books outlining how to research past lives for those
interested. It's not scary and can be quite helpful in understanding
deep-seated fears.
