The End of October

The season of autumn has finally arrived! Despite the endless days of warm weather, many of us are looking forward to wearing our favorite sweaters and drinking a warm cup of tea.
Let's face it ... I'm tired of wearing three layers of sunscreen.
Fall is my favorite season, although I have always loved the budding flowers of springtime. There are few things that compare to the crisp scent of dying leaves and pumpkin spice. I'm not basic, I promise! In the words of my favorite author, L.M. Montgomery, "I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers." It's strange to think that I will be turning eighteen on Halloween ... I'm sure that I will always feel like a child in my soul.
When I was younger, I always dressed up as my favorite literary characters for Halloween. The long list includes Alice Liddell, Lucy Pevensie, Maximum Ride, and Luna Lovegood. It's incredible to know that several people will be portraying a few of the characters from my own books!  

As many of my readers have requested, below you will find a step-by-step guide to the attire of the Gifted people.


Alice Hanley
As you already know, Alice Hanley is the main character in the Fire & Ice Book Series. She is known for her courageous personality, bright red hair, and fiery powers. When it comes to fashion, the teenage girl prefers to wear a simple dress, stockings, leather boots, and her favorite cloak. She never takes off the famous vial necklace that was inherited from her late grandmother.
Alice's elemental Gift is an important part of her character.

Emery Hanley
Emery Hanley is the twin sister of our brave heroine, although their appearances and personalities are quite the opposite. The blonde-haired girl lives in the ocean of her mind, and she expresses her emotions with cerulean eyes. Her favorite color is light blue; therefore, the majority of her wardrobe conforms to this standard. Despite her shy and quiet demeanor, Emery Hanley has a strong spirit.

Kade O'Reilly
Kade O'Reilly is the twin sister of Ronan O'Reilly, and she was Gifted with the power of flight. Before she was introduced to the Academy for Gifted Youth, she developed a huge pair of raven wings. She is very good friends with the Hanley sisters. Her physical appearance includes the features of short brown hair, blue eyes, and freckles. She has a stubborn and talkative personality, and her style is often compared to a tomboy. A colorful feather is always hiding in her hair.

Ronan O'Reilly
Ronan O'Reilly is the twin brother of Kade, and he was Gifted with the power of telekinesis. Although Ronan is always working to perfect the control over his abilities, random objects are always floating around him. Much of his time is spent between the shelves of the Academy library, and his favorite books are flooded with poetry. Ronan's attire is quite basic for a teenage boy in the realm of Aisling; he usually wears a wool sweater, leather boots, etc.


Happy Halloween!
