Mirrored Time - J.D.Faulkner
I always like getting the opportunity to read novels sent to me by their authors. It's like getting hand made gifts for your birthday, this person has put so much effort into something and they're proud to share it with you. It's awesome!
The one thing I like about having authors send me their work is that you always get the opportunity to ask questions and hear their side of things. So when J.D.Faulkner sent me this fantastic book naturally I stole the opportunity to give you guys a little look inside her mind.
"AuthorBio: JD lives in Seattle, WA with her two cats (who pretty much are in control). After surviving three years of law school stress and the hell of the bar exam, she decided she’d much rather be pursuing a more artistic form of employment. Thanks to a productive NaNoWriMo, MIRRORED TIME is her first completed novel and book one of the Time Archivist series. When she’s not writing, she spends her time dodging rain drops and devouring every book she can get her hands on.
Book Inspiration: I’ve always wanted to be a writer. Always. As a little girl, I used to tell stories to anyone who would listen. Being an only child, it was often just to my stuffed animals. But that desire to tell stories never really went away. It was shelved back in some dusty corner of my mind, waiting to be picked up again. Then came Gwen and the Time Archives. A story idea that grew out of me wondering what I wanted to do after I graduated law school. I couldn’t help thinking about what I really wanted; and who doesn’t wish for a little magic in their lives? To find out they are secretly special? So Mirrored Time was born. And hopefully that is just the start of a marvelous new journey."
What I as a reader loved most about Mirrored Times was that within the first few chapters you've already got action and direction for the book, theres none of this fluffing around and setting the scene.The pace and plot are great, and it'll definitely make for an interesting series. This is defineitly one book I'm not going to spoil by letting some of its secrets slip ... so here ... have a blurb.

Book Blurb:
First it was water. Then blood. And finally smoke. Gwen Conway never knew there were so many ways to die. Honestly, it was something she would have been happy not knowing. Maybe, they really are just dreams. Nightmares. But they won't stop. And dreaming of her death is getting old. Then there's the sleepwalking. She'd like to pass on that too. Gwen's pretty sure the dreams have something to do with her new job. Which of course, is definitely not just a 'job.' Don't get her wrong, working for the Archiver of the Time Streams has its perks. Having the power to travel to any past or future time is fantastic. Plus, there's Rafe, the ex-gladiator from the future. She'd like to keep him around too. Not that she would tell him that. It'd go straight to his head. But she's less than pleased to find herself in the middle of a time travelers' war. Especially against a crazed half-god who has the power to obliterate the existence of any time or place. And the Guardians, her so called allies? All the help they offer are strict rules and smug superiority. Plus, they seem convinced she's already lost, that she's already died. Gwen is starting to wonder whether she should have read her employment contract more carefully. Borrowing themes from Greek and Roman legends such as Pandora and the war between the Titans and Olympians, lovers of mythology and fantasy alike will enjoy this mind-bending romp through different times and universes. Well-grounded in the world of today, this urban fantasy stands out from the pack with its complex theories on time travel and unique brand of quirky humor.
