IT'S A RACE AGAINST TIME.

In Remembrance, Lizzie and Drew changed the course of fate so they could be together.

In Vengeance, Chelsea set fate back on its original, deadly path.

Now, strange things keep happening to Lizzie. Things that are omens of darkness to come. A curse has doomed her to die an early death, just as she did in her past life. To make things worse, even if she can figure out who cast the curse, it's irreversible. There's only one option left for her to save herself. It's crazier than anything she's heard yet, and to do it, she'll need Drew and Chelsea's help.

Because to make things right, they must go back to when it all began …

Author This or That!

1. Morning or Night?
NIGHT! I am not a morning person. I don’t “get going” until noon, and if I have to wake up before 8:30, I’ll be a zombie all day. I get my best work done in the afternoon, and am most sociable after the sun sets.

2. Chocolate or Vanilla?
Vanilla, although I don’t like sweets that much!

3. Pen or Pencil?
In school I always used mechanical pencils to take notes, because my handwriting is so messy that I needed to be able to erase. I always use pens while editing, because the bright color ink stands out more.

4. Comedy or Horror?
Horror. (Although I have a strange sense of humor—think Larry David on “Curb Your Enthusiasm”—and prefer that kind of comedy over horror.) I feel like typical comedy shows/movies try too hard, and then it’s no longer funny to me!

5. Fantasy or Reality?
Fantasy. As a writer, I have a tendency to “live in a fantasy world” all the time, although I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. Sometimes I envy people who can stay grounded to the present and not have their minds drift off all the time, but that’s not how my brain works, so oh well!

6. Winter or Summer?
I live in South Florida, so my definition of the seasons is different from the majority of people in the US. If you’re referring to “typical seasons,” then summer, because I hate the cold weather. But in Florida, summer is the unbearably hot, humid, rainy season, and winter is the warm, breezy, dry season, so I prefer the winters here. (The “pool/beach months” here are November-April … if you lay out in the summer you will ROAST and get caught in an afternoon downpour!)

7. Cats or Dogs?
Dogs! I have two dogs—Rocky is a Bichon Frise, and Cocoa is a Maltese-Shih Tzu, and they are so cute!

8. Movies or TV Shows?
Well-done TV shows, like Lost, Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, and Downton Abbey, because you can get further immersed in the storylines and characters.

9. Beach or Pool?
The funny thing about living in Florida is that I live 20 minutes away from the beach, but only go once or twice a year. I’m not a “water person,” so I end up going to the pool in my community because I know I will get a comfortable beach chair to read on, the towels are supplied, parking is not impossible, I will not get sand in my bag, and there are clean restrooms nearby. I do sometimes go to restaurants with ocean views, and I would love to live in a house someday where my office window will overlook the ocean.

10. Facebook or Twitter?
Facebook! Twitter can sometimes be crazy, because there are so many things happening at once. I like Facebook because I like having photo albums, writing on my friends walls, and liking/commenting status updates. I also prefer Facebook because there isn’t a 140 character limit. (I love when people subscribe to my Facebook, and I’m on it a LOT—you can find and subscribe to my Facebook HERE.)


Thank you, Stephanie, for having me on your blog for the Timeless blog tour! 


Thanks for stopping by the blog and answering my questions Michelle!



Michelle Madow was inspired to write Remembrance after seeing Taylor Swift's "Love Story" music video while a junior at Rollins College in Winter Park, FL. The song and video gave her the story idea about a high school girl reincarnated from Regency Era, England. She handed in the first chapter as a homework assignment for class, and when her teacher and classmates wanted her to continue writing, she decided to go for it. By the end of the school year, her first novel was completed!

Michelle graduated from the Park School of Baltimore in 2005, where she always took two English classes each semester. She graduated from Rollins College in 2010, cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in English. At Rollins she was a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, and a member of the International English Honor Society Sigma Tau Delta.

She received the Charles Hyde Pratt Award for Excellence in Creative Writing in 2010.

Michelle lives in Florida, where she is hard at work writing more novels for young adults.
