Unknown to one another, four unrelated sets of twins are born, and are later brought together by way of eight mysterious invitations. They quickly find themselves paired up with a stranger among themselves and must conquer a labyrinth unlike any other--or have it conquer them. Before it is all over, they will find that they have far more in common with one another than just merely being twins. The inspiration for this book came from a dream I'd had sometime in February of 2008. Upon awakening, I wrote it into a short story entitled "The Exchange", (appearing in an upcoming book of other dream-related short stories). It involved two of the main characters and I had loved them so much, I could not let them go when the story was over. When November of that year rolled around, I got invoved with NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), and by the last day of the month, I had produced "The Inter-Twinning". Having had so much support from family and friends, I went on to self-publish it and even before it was out in print, I was already working on its successor--"The Labyrinth of Empty". Both books are now part of a trilogy: Book 3--"The Open Book" is also in progress. Heather E. Hutsell (1973-) was born in Fort Worth, TX, and spent her earliest years on Bainbridge Island, WA, before setting out to see the world at age 17. She started writing at age 11, knowing after entering and winning awards through the Young Author's program through school (and for the next 2 years following) that she was determined to be a published author. Her first book, "Awakening Alice"--a sequel to Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland", was first published in the collaborative work "Ghost on the Highway" in 2006. She then went on to self-publish "Awakening Alice" along with its sequel "A Ticket for Patience" in an illustrated version, in 2007. Her next three books: "The Inter-Twinning" and "The Labyrinth of Empty" (both part of a trilogy in progress) and "By Blood, By Moon" followed in consecutive years. Future books (already in progress) include a prequel to "By Blood, By Moon"; a Steampunk oriented Victorian mystery (and others to follow); an illustrated book of short stories and "The Open Book"--the final installation to the Twins trilogy.
