Aaron thinks he’s being a Good Samaritan by
inviting the nearly-frozen visitor into his home, but he’s unwittingly
initiated The Game. A group of Elders, known as the Council of the Legend, come
together from time to time to enjoy a rousing event they playfully call “The
Game.”
Now, Aaron’s town is the playing board and he and his fellow townspeople
are the players. The rules are simple. Win. Because if Aaron loses, he won’t
just lose his family . . . he’ll lose his very identity.
What was your train of thought when
settling on the name for Polaris?
When
I first saw the opening scene in my mind. It was a dark, crisp, snowy night and
the sky was full of stars. The brightest being the North Star. We know it’s not
the “brightest” star in the sky. I have to say that because someone will say,
“Technically it isn’t the brightest” LOL However, in my story we will say it is
and most people are not as familiar with the other stars. I knew the central
focus of the story would be centered around the possibility of life on other
planets and stars and why not start with the most popular one, Polaris, the
North Star. I mentioned several stars in the story. I hope it piques the
interest of children to research and try to find them in the sky.
