Blog Tour + #Giveaway: Tethered (Intertwined #2) by Jenn Marie @AuthJennMarie @yaboundtourspr


Tethered (Intertwined series #2)
Genre: YA Paranormal Romance
Release Daye: July 16th 2017

Summary:

A previous lifetime. A malevolent curse.  A love they can’t live without. Will their past claim them once more? Elizabeth and Adam are about to find out …

Elizabeth and Adam survived the century old curse that nearly claimed the lives of their counterparts, Josephine and Braden, but at what cost?  

As the veil between timelines continues to diminish, they yet again find themselves in a race against time to cheat death in the past in order to salvage their futures. But with the curse given form, everything is changing, leaving them vulnerable to new threats. No longer are the dangers of their former lifetime contained to the Jefferson Plantation—a land fraught with peril and where horror reigns every summer between July 20 and August 13.

Until now ...

Having changed the past, history has rewritten itself, extending the last day of the haunting to August 31—their new expiration date. Without the aid of visions, though, Elizabeth and Adam must find a new way to uncover their past, leaving Adam to scour the plantation for clues, while Elizabeth learns how to access Josephine's subconscious.

Meanwhile, the Callahans—a vengeful family intent on keeping Elizabeth and Adam apart—will stop at nothing to preserve their bloodline and keep the curse from destroying their family. Will their ruthless antics prove tragic once more?

Now more than ever, their love will be tested as Elizabeth and Adam contend with the forces of the curse and fight to save their counterparts in 1905.

Will they overcome the odds stacked against them? Or will the curse claim them for good?

How do you select the names of your characters?

Oh, wow, this is such a process for me. I can’t tell you how many times I changed the names of my characters. I’d first conceptualized the series when I was twelve years old, so, yeah, as I changed and grew up, so did the characters and how I perceived them.

Elizabeth, the main heroine, had initially been Shannon, and Adam, the story’s hero, had originally been Joseph. Awful, right?? By the time I reached my twenties, the names didn’t fit them at all. Neither did the names of my secondary characters. So, I scrapped them, looked at each of the characters individually, and gave them the first name that popped in my head. It felt more organic that way. Like they were real people rather than fictional cut outs I’d contrived a label for. Although, I’ll admit, I have a soft spot for the name Adam. Pairing it with the name Hunt gave it the edge I was hunting for ;) But as I fleshed out his character, he totally owned it, and I can’t picture him as anything else.

As for the names of the secondary characters, some are shout outs to the film Somewhere In Time, which inspired the series. If you haven’t seen it, stop what you’re doing and watch it now! And maybe keep an ear tuned for the names I selected, he he. And that’s my process!
