Guys, I am absolutely thrilled today to welcome Katlyn Duncan to the blog, as part of her promotional tour for her fantastic series, The Life After. I love when an author gives an insider's perspective to the characters' minds through real-life events, circumstances and nuances. In this case, Ms. Duncan shows us who our characters are through their favourite films - clever and fun! Today, we're getting to know Jamie, one of the excellent supporting characters in this enticing series.
************************************
Jamie is a spunky girl who loves to laugh so it’s no surprise that she loves comedies. But ‘Mean Girls’ holds a special place in her heart since she is far from popular in high school.
‘Labyrinth’ is a special movie to Jamie. It was one of her mother’s favorites and she watched it all the time as a kid. Her mom always wanted her imagination to be open to all experiences that life presented to her.
Jamie is a closet romantic and since she spends a lot of time by herself when her dad is working, she loves to cheer herself up with a love that she hopes to one day experience on her own.
************************************
