Our Characters and Cast
Elizabeth- 50-60 years old any ethnic background
Elizabeth is a soul, who incarnated too quickly. In doing so, she brings back the anger, betrayal, and need for revenge that she felt in her previous life as Sara Jane is back with her. Although she doesn't consciously remember the past, the deeply embedded distrust of love has poisoned her present life. Emotionally numb, she has built an emotional castle around herself, in which no one is allowed to enter. Only through the characters in her novels, is she able to feel emotion. The common theme in her novels is that of righteous women exacting revenge. Arriving in Coyote Springs, the old memories and emotions overwhelm her as people and places seem familiar, bringing with them the rage that was spawned by the betrayal.
Michael: A 45-50 any ethnic background.
Built like a lumberjack, Michael is the reincarnation of Randolph. A scholar and researcher of Historical Archelogy, Michael was known for his attention to detail and fact-checking, which gave him a reputation of being a pain in the ass. However, he radically changed after he moved to Coyote Springs, His obsessive search for historical truth was replaced by a desperate need to know everything about Sara Jane and Randolph Bellows. Although he had always been passionate about life—he loved deeply, but never for long. There has always been a missing piece – a part of the relationship that didn’t fit or didn’t fulfill the longing or loneliness. When he met Shane, she felt familiar and he thought he had found who he had been looking for. As he learns the true nature of her heart, he realizes that she is not the person he thought she was. He has made the same mistake. He has to decide between rekindling the love’s passion or being consumed by the flames of revenge.

Amanda: 70+ woman
On the surface, Amanda has led an exemplary life. The community saw her as a pillar, who spoke her mind like a gunslinger shooting from the hip. Her words were frequently as deadly to overblown egos. She used her time, energy, and wealth to keep Coyote Springs progressively moving forward economically and socially. However, as much others loved and respected her, even her quirky attachment to Sara Jane and Randolph’s home and her belief in the paranormal, they only saw the persona that she chose to show them. She hid her guilt and regret for allowing her fear to stop her. She has lived her life unjustly feeling guilty for other people's actions. Over the years, she has isolated herself, because she was led to believe that to love her or to be loved her was a death sentence for the other person. Although a stroke has slowed her down, it will not stop her from making right what her fear made wrong.
Elaine: 40–a 50-year-old woman of any ethnic background.
Long time companion of Amanda, she could be mistaken for an Army drill sergeant when it comes to protecting and standing up to Amanda. She knows what Amanda knows. Their closeness has led to gossip.

She took the brunt of the abuse, including keeping silent when their older sister disappeared. By then, she had become very good at keeping secrets. Eventually, her whole world twisted into an unnatural flip. Audrey was a loving mother who protected them from the evil ghost. Her older sister never existed. Their father wasn’t murdered. He died suddenly, leaving nearly all his wealth to Amanda, a woman who despised them and who forced them to leave their home. If her mother hadn’t married James, they would have starved.
