I love your books. I just finished The Brandywine Prophet and I have a question. Now I lost lots of sleep staying up late so I know I missed some clues but I just have to have ONE thing explained....At the first Janie dies and at the end she is alive. Where did I miss it? My next one is Accidental Siren, I have already bought it.

Hey Marti! I'm so glad you checked out Brandywine... somehow it's both my least-popular and most-loved book, ha.
There's no clear-cut explanation for the ending, but I did have a solid idea in mind when I wrote it. I think the answer lies in the aftermath of Janie's dance and the differences between where the characters end up in both the prologue and the actual ending... as well as the over-arching theme of "faith."
That's about all I can give ya ; ) If you have any thoughts on the ending, I would love to hear them. There's really no right or wrong answers!
