Marianne Curley:
I just wanted to say that I am so happy for you that you overcame cancer and are living a healthy life today. Thank you for your contributions to the YA genre. I just discovered the Guardians of Time series and I am enjoying them. I am going to be starting The Key very soon, and I was excited to see that you are currently working on book four. How did you get the idea to write the G of T series?
Marianne Curley
Hi Nikki, that's such a lovely thing to say to me. Thank you so much for that. Writing is something I love to do and I can't imagine doing anything else and being so content in my job. After my bone marrow transplant I had a fall and shattered a few vertebra. The pain was intense for those first few years and I couldn't concentrate enough to write even a page. But gradually the pain eased and I was able to return to doing what I love.
The GoT series came about as I was looking to write a book to follow Old Magic, which had just been published. I liked the concept of travelling into Medieval times like Kate and Jarrod did, but thought I could take it further - to travel through time in an organised capacity. That's how I came up with the two opposing sides. One that manipulates the past to control the present, the other, to stop the manipulation and ensure the past not change.
Best wishes
Marianne
