Character Interview with Eric from The Undead: Playing for Keeps by Elsie Elmore

Today we welcome Eric from The Undead; Playing for Keeps. Eric is an eternal eighteen year-old grim reaper assigned to the small town of Martin to investigate the reanimated corpses. As a reaper, he marks 'em to go down and they're not supposed to do the opposite. Since he's been assigned to the small time of Martin, he has more free time on his hands.

Before he sits, he throws both hands up when you offer to shake his hand. "No offense, but I don't shake hands."

"Okay then. Welcome. I'm glad you could stop by and talk. 

1.     Eric, tell us a little about you. There’s not a lot to tell that’s worth anything. I was lost and now I’m found. No seriously. I’m stuck in a job I earned by being selfish, among other things. And apparently, being selfish is pretty damnable offense.

2.     You're a musician, and a rather gifted one I gather. Tell us how you got into music. It all started with my mom. She found a beat up guitar in the trash bin outside our apartment. She cleaned it up for me. Damn thing had duct tape on the neck and only three strings.  But it played. And before I started making bad decisions on an epic scale, I hung out at the local bars and watched bands play. I talked a few players into teaching me the basics and the rest I learned on my own.

3.     How does being a reaper affect your music? The reaper gig technically prevents me from playing. I’m not entitled to indulgences because of the job. But when I was sent to Martin to deal with the whole reanimated corpse issue, an opportunity presented itself. I had to get close to the Grimm family and Ben had a band. I didn’t realize how much I’d missed the guitar until I started playing again. And once I started, I didn’t want to stop.

4.     Without any spoilers, can you give us some background on how you came to be a reaper? Nah, I can’t. I mean, I now know what happened but for a long time those memories were inaccessible. People become reapers when they’re not worthy of getting a second chance to live. I’d kinda like to leave it at that.

5.     Now some fun questions. If you had one wish, what would it be? For a long time, my only answer was freedom. But there’s a bit more to life than freedom, especially when I thought I knew what restrained me. One wish I have now is that I’ll be worthy enough to receive a second shot.

6.     If zombies attacked, what would you do, and why? Zombies… once you’ve been a reaper, dead bodies and death are significantly less scary. The reanimated corpses that Lyla created didn’t have the killer instinct that zombies have. They just wanted to be close to the giver of life and for them, that was Lyla. But being close to death toughens you up. As a reaper, I’d just draw out their energy and put them to rest. This job does have one or two benefits.

7.     So, Lyla. What are your thoughts and feelings about her? She smells good. I don’t know. At first, Blondie drove me crazy with her “deer-in-the-headlights” approach to everything. She let people get to her. She’d freak out over emotional issues. But Lyla’s good inside. Like really good. And once you start learning who someone is on the inside, things change. And if you want to be near them, you have to change too.

Description:

When an undead woman with serious de-comp issues stalks sixteen-year-old Lyla Grimm, her hope of rescuing her rock-bottom reputation takes a back seat. Especially once Lyla’s new talent of resurrecting the dead draws the attention of Eric, a Grim Reaper with a guitar and a chip on his shoulder.

While Lyla navigates the gossip-ridden halls, Eric works to gain her trust and discover why Death’s clients aren’t staying down. If she passes on her gift, his death-messenger destiny might be altered. But the closer he gets to Lyla, the less sure he is of his plan. The dead are way easier to deal with than the living.

Gossip explodes, the Grimm family implodes, and desperation sets in. Death wants the gift and a soul. Lyla and Eric face hard choices with hidden consequences. Sometimes life’s choices aren’t really choices at all.

Character interview with Lord Whetherford from The Right One by Samanthya Wyatt

Hello Katie, Thank you for having me as your guest.

As a child I had many desires, but the one thing that seemed to come natural was write. I wrote poems, short stories, and then tucked them away. When I graduated, I married a military man, we traveled the United Stated and abroad. Once I found historical romance novels, I couldn’t put a book down. I fell in love with the characters and needed to know their happy ending.

When my children were grown, I started writing again. I wrote a story and once again life took over, so I put my MS on a shelf. A few years ago I decided I wanted to pursue writing seriously. I entered a lot of contests, workshops, and made some good friends via e-mails. I pulled my story back out and finished my historical, The Right One, the first of a trilogy, “One and Only Series”. Here is a special interview with my main character.

Good evening, Lord Whetherford.

Good evening, Miss Wyatt.

Please call me Samanthya.

A smile quirked up at the corner of his mouth.

Since you’ve given me liberty to address you by your given name, please call me Morgan. I’ve only been home a short while and have not gotten used to the title.

As I gaze at Morgan, I notice his eyes are as dark as his black hair. A few curls fall over his brow, he shoves his fingers through his hair—mine itch to do the same.

Morgan, um, can you tell me about your education?

My father sent me to Eton, as my brother before me. My older brother was to inherit. Who knew what was supposed to be and anniversary adventure would result in such tragedy?

I’m so sorry for your loss.

So am I, Miss .. er.. Samanthya.

Would you mind telling us about your life after that? You disappeared.

A lad of seventeen years, on the brink of manhood, I became an angry, temper-mental scoundrel. I left.

It is rumored, you’ve been called the Dark Lord.

Now, Samanthya. Do you listen to the gossip mill? The corners of his mouth lifted in a devastating grin

Er…um.. Were you involved in secret missions?

If I told you, then they wouldn’t be secret, now would they?

You’ve been gone a long time. Why did you finally return home?

To marry and produce the required heir, of course. But beyond that, I’d like to see Whetherford Manor thrive again. I have secured some remarkable horse flesh and I plan to breed my own stock.

Oh Lord … er … Morgan, I am a romantic. Do you have someone in mind for the next Lady Whetherford?

Miss Wyatt. You misunderstand. A man of my position must chose his bride carefully. And with a clear head. I assure you, there will be nothing romantic about my choice.

I get a lot of joy from creating new characters and bringing them together in a romantic tale. I am so fortunate to have my historical, “The Right One” in the One and Only series published in June and available at amazon. I am working on book #2 “The True One”, Stephen’s story. Right after that will be book #3 “The Only One” which is Giles story.

I enjoy penning a story with strong characters, a bit of humor, and active scenes. I invite you to lay the worries of the world off your shoulders and get lost in the pages of a romance, where you embark on a journey with the hero and heroine, become involved in a dream, plunge into a world of fantasy, live an adventure your heart can share.

Please visit my webpage:  www.samanthyawyatt.com 

You can also find me on facebook, Goodreads, Amazon, and SMP Authors.

Thank you for your interest. Tell your friends.

    The setting is 1825 England, Regency Period

He abducts the wrong woman . . . she proves she is the right one.

Morgan Bartholomew Langston, Earl of Whetherford, has finally decided to accept his fate. Tired of dangerous assignments and putting his neck on the line, he has returned to his ancestral home to accept the title of his birthright and produce the required heir. But, when he arrives, he finds his home has been invaded and a female has taken off with his mother’s jewels. Morgan decides the traitorous jade will not get away, so he sets into motion a plan to bring her back. When he abducts the wrong woman, his reaction to her brings him dangerously close to breaking his vow of forbidden emotions.

Katherine Elizabeth Radbourn is a strong, independent woman, and at the age of twenty three is still unwed. In a desperate attempt to find her brother, she is abducted which leads her on a journey to love and mistaken identity. Once she meets her captor, fear and indignation dissipates to an overwhelming awareness. Even though he tells her she is the wrong one, Kat realizes she has finally met a man that—not only she is attracted to—but has awakened her woman’s body. Does he really care for her or does he secretly yearn for the woman she is supposed to be?  Uncertainty makes her risk the very man she has given her soul.

Blog Tour: Character Interview with Anders from Disciple Part IV by L Blankenship

Sir Anders Bockmann is a knight of Wodenberg, sworn to the service of the kingdom's saints, and a shameless womanizer. Or, he was until he offered to marry Kate Carpenter so that she could keep her hard-earned rank among the kingdom's top physicians. She'd fallen pregnant with the prince's child, and duty would not let the prince do right by her.

He swore that the marriage was a convenience only, and he'd expect nothing of her.

(The character card is from my reader goodies page, and that's Anders on the book cover)

1. Can you share a secret with us that isn’t revealed in the book?

Anders: I don't think Kate believes I earned the reputation I had when we first met. In truth, I did earn it. Broken hearts, anger, and duels -- I am guilty. But there's no need to speak of that and she never asked.

(L's note: we see a bit of Anders' dark side in "Fire's First Kiss", Disciple's prologue novella)

2. How do you decide to trust someone? Do you test people? How?

No need for tests. They'll show themselves trustworthy or not soon enough. Most commonly, the moment they speak to me -- if they only repeat the gossip mill's grist at me, I know I've no reason to trust them.

3. What do people notice first about you?

(he flashes a smile) My horse? My knight's crest? I rarely go unnoticed, that's true enough.

4. What is one physical attribute you are proud of?

(his hand lingers on his blonde mohawk, his "knight's crest") I do wear my knight's crest proudly. The saints, if none else, counted me worthy to face the enemy in their service. And I survived the charge on those monsters' flank.

5. What are you most proud of about your life?

When we returned from the secret mission across the mountains (in Part I) I promised my mother I'd not make her cry again. And I've kept that. Given her joy, even, in marrying Kate and seeing to my duties.

6. What's the worst thing you've ever done? Why?

(his smile sinks into a grimace) The Shepherd knows what my part in Frederika's death was. After her husband caught us, after the duel where I left him alive... I went to her house, that day, to ask her to leave with me. I had a little money and... well, I was a fool. Went ready to argue and found her hanging above the kitchen table.

7. What are you most afraid of?

(still melancholy, his fingers find his wedding band and twist it... then he shakes his head)

8. What do you consider your greatest achievement?

That charge on the battlefield was no small thing. And all I did during the siege -- even if Kate called it rash and foolish, it needed doing. It was all in service to the saints, though, and not for my glory.

9. What or who is the greatest love of your life?

(he laughs) It's too early for such things, surely? I'm not twenty-five yet. (his fingers are still on that wedding band, though.)

Back cover of Disciple, Part IV

Kate can’t avoid the simple truth any longer; as much as she loves Kiefan, he’s now the king and his duties leave him precious little time for her and their newborn son. Kate’s husband Anders, the ne’er-do-well knight, is the one who kisses her cheek every morning and soothes the baby to sleep on his shoulder.

Kiefan’s protective jealousy still casts a shadow over her life. He would gladly throw Anders to the wolves if it will keep alliance negotiations from collapsing. Their homeland desperately needs these allies against the invading Empire. The kingdom barely survived the first wave of the enemy’s monstrous army and more is to come.

But Kate can’t stand by and let Anders become a victim — or let Kiefan suspect she’s falling in love with her husband.

Character Interview: Megan Bartlow From Shattered Secrets by Krystal Wade

A few days ago I showed you the new covers to Krystal Wade's Wilde Trilogy. Today I have her talking about her new release, Shattered Secrets, and interviewing one of the characters for you.

Krystal: So, Megan, what’s it like to be friends with someone as long as you have and then find out she’s not even human?

Megan, folding her hands in her lap and glancing down: It’s very sad. The whole thing. Can we talk about something else?

Krystal: Well, your best friend is kind of the point of this interview. Why is it sad? Don’t you think it’s kind of cool what Abby can do?

Megan: Cool? Yes. Absolutely. She’s incredible, as are all the people—excuse me, WHATEVERs—around her. But Abby has been through a lot. She’s lost a lot. And I can’t seem to stop worrying about her.

Krystal: But it’s over now. Everyone is finding their place in a new, safe environment. In the place they’re supposed to be. Are you having issues moving on? Is this because of everything you’ve left behind?

Megan: Maybe.

Krystal: Do you miss your parents?

Megan huffs: I miss the idea of my parents, but I’d never want to go back to them. And that’s just the problem. I don’t belong with my best friend anymore, or her “new, safe environment”. What if I mess up? What if they kick me out of the cool human emotion influencing club?

Krystal: I never thought of it that way. That’s a lot to take in. I doubt they’d force you out, though. Someone in charge has to know how neglected you were.

Megan: Sure they do. But what if they think I’m a threat to Abby or her safety? They keep her on lockdown pretty much. If anything happens to her before she ever has kids? Well, I’d hate to think of what they’d do to me.

Krystal: Wow, so, umm, that was fairly heavy, Megan. And here I thought this interview would be fun. You’re normally so bubbly.

Megan: You try going through all this crap. Tell me how bubbly you are!

Krystal: Fair point. I guess people will have to read Shattered Secrets to see what put you in such a bad mood. Umm, I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers, okay?

Megan: Whatever helps you sleep at night.

And we’re out. I think Megan might need some Xanax. Or some sort of vacation. What do you think?

After being kidnapped, hogtied, and stuffed in the trunk of a car, seventeen-year-old Abigail Nichols' boy problems seem unimportant.

She couldn't be more wrong.

The boy who saves her holds her heart. But Derick Crawford also holds secrets.

Magical beings who guide human emotions are fighting an invisible war dating back to the dawn of time, and Abigail's one of them. The more she learns of her heritage, the less she wants to know. Armed with a very old, very massive book to teach them about their history, Abigail and Derick run away to a place where they think they can be safe and happy, only to have their troubles secretly hitch a ride.

Her history book is in a sharing mood, and it tells her to keep a secret of her own. But has she put her trust in the wrong place? And will the world survive if she has?

Krystal Wade is happily married to the love of her life (don’t gag) and raising three beautiful children in the gorgeous state of Virginia. They live just outside Washington, D.C., and every day she wakes up to find herself stuck in traffic trying to get there.

The horrid commute gives Krystal plenty of time to zone out and think about her characters in full, brilliant details (she’s a safe driver; don’t worry). Stories give her a way to forget about the sometimes smelly strangers sitting next to her on the fifty mile trek into town (she picks up hitchhikers every day. True story. Check out www.slug-lines.com if you don’t believe this).

Krystal has been a part of organized hitchhiking for nearly fifteen years, but that’s just one small aspect of her oh-so-large life. When she’s not working, commuting, or chasing after her three children (four if you count the man), you can usually find Krystal outside talking to her chickens like they’re the cutest things in the world (they are), or training her amazing dogs how to herd said chickens (which they love), or curled up on the sofa with a good book (why can’t that be 100% of the time?).

Blog Tour: Forget Me Not by Stacey Nash

Today I have Will, from Stacey Nash's novel; Forget Me Not on the blog answering questions.

How long have you known Mae? Can you tell us about the first time you met?

For eight years; since I was ten. The first time I met her wasn’t long after my family moved. School had just gone back after the summer vacation, but Emalee and I hadn’t started yet because we’d just moved and mom was still sorting the school thing out. I was in the yard and heard noise coming from over the fence, so I peeked over the top and there she was. Head sunk in her hands, sniffling. I called out and she looked up then told me to go away. I didn’t, I climbed over the fence and sat beside her on the back porch. That was the day her mom disappeared.

Were you always friends or did you have to get past the boy/girl germs first?

Right from that first day we’ve been friends. There was never any akwardness

Tell us about your family.

They’re great. Dad lets me spend time down at the shop with him. He’s taught me a lot about cars, motors, and stuff. Mom’s mom. Just the one sibling; Emalee’s still a kid, but she’s a good kid. Not too annoying, you know. 

Describe the kind of person you see yourself as.

Loyal, honest. I guess I’m someone who sticks by his friends and always does the right thing.

If you could freeze one moment in time, when would it be?

That moment hasn’t happened yet, but it will. *grins*

What's your...

Favorite ice cream? Vanilla.

Dream job? Mechanic. But I’d love to work on rebuilding old cars, like a classics remodeler or something. That would be cool.  

Ultimate getaway? Tricky question. A long road trip—somewhere pretty—where I could just cruise along on the motorbike.

Greatest strength? Umm, my loyalty or maybe my strength. *flexes arms* Yeah, definitely by strength.

Greatest vice? Mae, of course.

Last of all, tell us about the role you play in Forget Me Not.

The role I play? This isn’t some movie we’re talking about, it’s my life and what the heck is Forget Me Not?

Ah, sorry, I mean all this craziness with Mae’s pendant and the Collective.

If Mae’s going to fight, my place is beside her. There’s really not much else to say.

Blurb: Since her mother vanished nine years ago, Anamae and her father have shared a quiet life. But when Anamae discovers a brooch identical to her mother's favorite pendant, she unknowingly invites a slew of trouble into their world. When the brooch and the pendant are worn together they're no longer pretty pieces of jewelry -- they're part of a highly developed technology capable of cloaking the human form. Triggering the jewelry's power attracts the attention of a secret society determined to confiscate the device -- and silence everyone who is aware of its existence. Anamae knows too much, and now she's Enemy Number One.

She's forced to leave her father behind when she's taken in by a group determined to keep her safe. Here Anamae searches for answers about this hidden world. With her father kidnapped and her own life on the line, Anamae must decide if saving her dad is worth risking her new friends’ lives. No matter what she does, somebody is going to get hurt.

Blog Tour: 18 Truths by Jamie Ayres

Today I have Jamie Ayres, author or 18 Things, and now it's sequel, 18 Truths, visiti my blog to interview her character, Nate. Take it away!

Jamie: Thanks for hosting, Katie!!! Dr. Judy, Olga and Nate’s therapist, let me borrow her office for this interview. *hears knock on the door* Come in! *At 5-foot-10, Nate enters wearing faded jeans and a gray T-shirt that says “Reckless” across his chest, unfortunately covering up most of his lean and muscular body. His boyish face is dominated by large, ocean blue expressive eyes, and his hair is crammed under an army green hat, a few coffee-colored strands peeking out onto his forehead.* Hey, Nate. How are you today?

Nate: Okay, still a little sore from the accident.

Jamie: Shh, they don’t know about that yet. No spoilers!

Nate: Oops, sorry.

Jamie: You’re forgiven. Seriously, it’s no wonder Olga couldn’t stay mad at you for long in 18 Truths after—

Nate: Hey, hey cupcake! You said no spoilers!

Jamie: *blushes* I love it when you call me cupcake.

Nate: *laughs* Focus, Jamie. Although I know that’s hard for you.

Jamie: *waggles eyebrows* Especially around shiny objects.

Nate: *clears throat* Maybe doing the interview without Olga this time was a bad idea.

Jamie: Come on, I’m just teasing. Sort of. Let’s get started. I thought it would be fun to pull a Dr. Judy today and dig around in your head a bit…

Nate: Wait, what?

Jamie: Uh…well…doesn’t that sound like fun?

Nate: Yeah, because my storyline in 18 Truths wasn’t torture enough. Why you gotta be like that, Miss Author?

Jamie: Hey! It wasn’t torture. It led you to—

Nate: Grace…yeah, she was a pretty cool chick, and I’m glad I got to help her. Well, really, she helped Olga and me more than we helped her in the end. Hey, speaking of Olga, my favorite cool chick, why don’t I dig around in her head a bit for you. You know, because now that we’re working on the third installment of the trilogy, 18 Thoughts, I can—

Jamie: Okay, why don’t you just leave the questions up to me before you give all my secrets away. Now you mentioned Grace, let’s talk about her a bit. What exactly is your relationship with her?

Nate: *rolls eyes* You’re kiddin’ me, right? You’re just as ridiculous as Olga. What’s my relationship?

Jamie: Why are you acting so confused? It’s a simple question.

Nate: *shifts uncomfortably in seat* Crap. I never should have agreed to this interview. You and Olga are always analyzing everything I do, reading into stuff. Listen, Grace was my first spirit guide assignment. Helping her was my job. She’d been through hell and back. She needed my undivided attention.

Jamie: *looks Nate up and down* She’s a very lucky girl. Actually, I could use some of your undivided attention with something.

Nate: *blushes* Now, Jamie, you know how jealous Olga can get.

Jamie: *giggles like a little school girl* Of course. Speaking of jealous, I have to admit that one of my favorite parts about 18 Truths was the addition of Riel. Did you ever get jealous of his relationship with Olga?

Nate: Not really. I mean, what’s there to be envious of, exactly?

Jamie: Oh, I dunno. He’s charming, witty, powerful, he can fly, he can—

Nate: So, any other questions for me?

Jamie: Right, moving on. I guess I should ask you about Conner.

Nate: I guess I thought you’d know better than to go there.

Jamie: Wow, you sure are a hot mess tonight.

Nate: *winks* That’s what she said.

Jamie: HA!  I’m sure she did. The she being Olga, right? Meaning there’s no chance for me and you to ever—

Nate: Nope. *caresses my ring finger as I swoon* You’re a married lady, remember? Not to mention you’re quite a bit older than me.

Jamie: Oh! You just had to ruin the moment, didn’t you? *hides first appearance of gray hairs*

Nate: *closes eyes & takes a deep breath* By older, I mean more mature and freakishly insightful. You did invent Olga, after all.

Jamie: *grins* Oh, Nate, you flatter me. But you’re pretty insightful, too. If I recall correctly, you wrote a very sweet poem for Olga in 18 Things and then you wrote that song for her, Summertime. I know you hoped to major in philosophy in college. Since this book is called 18 Truths, can you tell me an indelible truth that reflects your philosophy on life?

Nate: I actually like the quote you used for the last chapter in the book. “Then you will know the truth, and truth will set you free.”

Jamie: Ah, yes, that one is near and dear to my heart. But why that quote?

Nate: I think the most important thing we can do in life is to be truthful and free ourselves from self-deception. When we’re truthful with ourselves, then we know clearly what path to take. There’s freedom in that, to seek after what we really want. The truth frees us and others to be all we’re meant to be.

Jamie: Sooo true!  How about we leave things off with you telling us your favorite part of the book?

Nate: *raises his adorable bushy eyebrows* Can I say the make out sessions?

Jamie: How did I know you would say that? Such a g-u-y! I’m assuming you mean the make out sessions between you and Olga?

Nate: You know what? I think this interview is over.

Jamie: Oh, come on, don’t be mad.

Nate: No, it’s not that. I just have to go pick up Olga now or I’ll be late.

Jamie: Ooh la la! Hot date?

Nate: No more questions!

Jamie: *sighs heavily* Fine, fine. Thanks for coming in to meet me today.

Nate: *looks over his shoulder at me as he pauses at the door* I don’t suppose you could repay the favor by telling me who Olga chooses for her one and only at the end of all this?

Jamie: Oh, Nate! Such a bad boy . . . I should give you a spanking! What kind of author would I be if I didn’t torture my characters a little bit more? *watches Nate run away and shrugs*

Blurb:

Lying is unbearable, betrayal is inevitable, and choosing which path to take is impossible.

Olga Gay Worontzoff ended her senior year as an eighteen-year-old girl totally in love with Nate, enjoying their new romance and about to attend the university of her dreams. Now she’s spending her summer in the weird subculture of the Underworld, with charmingly witty and powerful angels, and problematic demons, trying to rescue Connor, the best friend and secret crush she was unable to save during a freak accident.

But Nate has other things on his mind, mainly Grace. She’s their first assignment as joint spirit guides, and Olga’s feeling hurt and jealous. His mysterious behavior has Olga questioning everything she believed about him and now she must decide whether to stick to their plan, or follow her heart.

Unfortunately, a series of mistakes threatens everyone around her and plants Olga in the center of cosmic events much larger than she ever imagined.

Only one thing is certain: the chilling truths uncovered during her journey will leave no one untouched.
