As part of her Spellbound tour, she's decided to share some inspiration with us!
Since Kira is the Queen of Movie Clips, I’ve asked her
to share the following scenes from one of my favorite childhood movies,
Labyrinth, in which the Goblin King confronts Sarah after she’s made it through
his maze.
The song “Magic Dance” ran through my head often while
writing Duplicity. I pictured Adrian as the Goblin King, minus the long hair
and skintight pants. Ha, ha.
Originally I had a scene in Duplicity in which Raj and
Lee join Aahana (Raj’s sister) in the living room while she’s watching
Labyrinth and Lee muses if the “you have no power over me” line would work on
Adrian Montez (who is obsessed with Graylee Perez).
A beta reader pointed out that I could run into
copyright infringement problems for directly quoting a movie and my aunt (a
retired lawyer) confirmed that I could reference a movie, but should NOT quote
lines word-for-word unless I had written permission from the copyright holders.
So, darn, no quoting the line, “You have no power over
me.” And some of my favorite Goblin King quotes:
“Sarah, beware, I have been generous up until now, but
I can be cruel.”
And after Sarah demands what he’s done that’s
generous:
“Everything! Everything that you have wanted I have
done. I have altered time. I have turned the world upside down and I have done
it all for you.”
At the end of Entangled, Adrian puts his own life in
jeopardy to try and save Gray (whether she needs it or not). In book two,
Duplicity, he returns to town expecting gratitude for his, er, generosity.
Doesn't this make you want to read the book?
