is Lilith’s BFF in the prequel to The Last Timekeepers series, Legend of the Timekeepers. She-Aba is with us today and has plenty to say about following your dreams and standing
out in a crowd.
Thank you for coming to chat with us today, She-Aba. Why do you think Sharon Ledwith chose you to represent her?
Because I have the most style and flair when it comes to representing others. I look at a person and see their best qualities, then work with the right fabrics and accessories to bring out their natural beauty and make them stand out. Sharon knows this. I know this. I mean…look at my shoes. Aren’t they stunning?
They are indeed. What is your birth date?
I was born fourteen years ago on the day after my parents arrived herefrom Atlantis.
Here? Where do you live? What is it about the area that drew your parents?
I was born and raised in the Black Land. I’ve heard that it’s named forthe rich, dark soil found in the river and the valley we live near. Since there
was too much instability going on in Atlantis—you know, stuff like earthquakes
and volcanic eruptions—my parents decided to immigrate here and start a new
life. And I’m so glad that they did seeing as their homeland blew up and sank
into the ocean.
Wow, your parents certainly made a good decision. Tell us a little about yourself?
Well, ever since I was a little girl, I have wanted to dress up people,and help them look their best. My father sits on the Black Land’s high counsel,
so I make sure his beard is braided, his hair is oiled and scented, and his
clothes are of the highest quality. Oh, and I also have red hair. Apparently
that’s not very favorable in the eyes of the Black Land natives.
Huh? Why not?
Red is a color reserved for their gods and goddesses. The natives thinkred is magical, and anyone with red hair is considered a freak of nature.
I see. What’s your favorite music?
Ohhh, I love the sound of crystal bowls being played! It makes my wholebody hum and vibrate.
Will we be seeing more of you or are you stepping out of the lime light?
I don’t understand what you mean about the lime light? Is it like themoon or sun light? These are very confusing questions! I’m sure Sharon Ledwith
has future plans for me if that is what you mean.
What do you do to relax?
I create beautiful sashes, satchels, and shoes to go with all the outfitsI put together. The end results are truly extraordinary.
Okay, so what gets you excited?
No contest. Shoes. Oh, and finding the right suitor.
What’s your favorite ice cream flavor, chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry?
What is this ice cream you speak of? There is no such thing here in theBlack Land. Again you confuse me with your babble. You need to wear a Babel
necklace. It’s all the rage for a Timekeeper. Plus it would help me to
understand what you are saying. If you are talking about a favorite food, then
I like drizzling honey over freshly baked bread. Mmmm.
Do you believe in ghosts?
No. But I do believe in dark vibrations. I’ve seen it firsthand.
Why should the readers be interested in your story?
What a silly question! This story is about finding your true purpose. Whywe are here and what we have to do. That’s what life readings are for. Why
would anyone NOT be interested?
What is a life reading?
Life readings are scribed on a small ceramic disk called a life seal. Seethe one I’m wearing on my spotted-animal cape? I fashioned it to look like a
broach. Originally a life seal is blank, but once the high priestess from the
Temple Beautiful has had a chance to assess you based on your karmic
development, she goes into a trance and records her impressions on the seal
which then becomes your lifetime occupation.
That sounds complicated. What is your lifetime occupation?
My original lifetime occupation was supposed to be to design clothing for thepeople of the various positions in the court and temples. Then one day the
inscription on my life seal completely changed.
Changed? How?
That’s for me to know, and you to find out…
Here’s a little sampling of Legend of the Timekeepers recently released on August 30th… There is no moving forward without first going back.
Lilith was a young girl with dreams and a family before the final destruction of Atlantis shattered those dreams and tore her family apart. Now refugees, Lilith and her father make their home in the Black Land. This strange, new country has no place in Lilith’sheart until a beloved high priestess introduces Lilith to her life purpose—to
be a Timekeeper and keep time safe.
Summoned through the seventh arch of Atlantis by the Children of the Law of One, Lilith and her newfound friends are sent into Atlantis’s past, and given a task that will ultimately test their courage and try their faith in each other. Can the Timekeepers stop the dark magus Belial before he changes the seers’ prophecy? If they fail, then their
future and the earth’s fate will be altered forever.

ReplyDeleteTry ice cream on a hot day. I think you'd like it. Especially with a little honey poured over it instead of bread.
