Character Hot Seat: Nyx & Delvin Cunningham

Nyx took the #2 spot, so I’m pairing her off with Delvin Cunningham.  These two always have great scenes together.  At least to me, there’s a special bond brewing here.  Delvin is the only one to really throw Nyx off her center, but not in a bad way.  He’s straight to the point that he likes her and he’s been that way since they met in Family of the Tri-Rune.  Nyx is her usual self with the magical reactions that tend to send the former mercenary flying.  It’s a breath of fresh air to write their scenes as the story gets a little darker and other characters are finding themselves stressed.

For those that aren’t familiar with these two, Nyx is an incredibly powerful sorceress who doesn’t have to use gestures or incantations.  Sleeper of the Wildwood Fugue has a few answers for that.  She’s been with Luke since Prodigy of Rainbow Tower and has been through a lot.  Delvin is fairly newer and is the standing Mercenary Prince.  He’s taking a break from that life, which is perfect since he’s been uncovered as one of the six champions.  He does fall into the warrior category, but lacks Timoran’s strength and Luke’s speed.  Instead, Delvin, prodigy of Selenia Hamilton, is all about the mind and he is a great planner.  Though putting a plan together with his current friends is teaching him to adapt quicker.

So, ask away and have some fun.  As usual, remember to be respectful and try not to push for spoilers.  The characters are under orders not to spill secrets, but let’s not make them uncomfortable.

Character Hot Seat: Queen Trinity & Yola Biggs

Queen Trinity of the Chaos Elves won the overall poll and her best friend Yola Biggs the Chaos Goddess got a vote.  So I figured it would be fun to talk to the two villainesses of LEGENDS OF WINDEMERE.  They do make an interesting pair and Yola is slated to take a bigger role in the next book.

Now, Trinity is a powerful caster, Nyx’s rival, and she isn’t as bad as people think.  She protects her people by sharing in their punishments and taking blame for any mistakes that they make, which is why she’s loved by the chaos elves.  One would expect Baron Kernaghan to have killed her by now.  In reality, she’s kind of protected by Yola, who is an exile from the land of the gods and has felt alone centuries.  Then Trinity came around and things changed.  Though nobody is sure who is charge of the relationship.  At times, the ditzy goddess comes off as a child or a pet while Trinity occasionally takes on a more docile role.  It really depends on their moods and what they’re doing.  Yet there is a bizarre connection between the two that gets explored for a few books coming up.

So, dive in to ask any questions you can think of.

Natacha Guyot's avatarNatacha Guyot

La Cité de Sharianth, is now available! While I know that since it is in French, it will be a different market, especially since my online presence is at 95% in English. I still wanted to mention it here, because some of you showed interest in it (you guys are awesome!) So for all my French speaking readers and/or their French speaking friends, let me tell you a little bit about this novella.

La Cité de Sharianth is a Science Fiction novella for kids (age 7 to 10) and focuses on Ranooki, a teenager who never knew her mother, who had to disappear shortly after her birth because her people were outlawed from the main lands and society.

Book Launch! Demons & Pearls by P. S. Bartlett

Sue Vincent's avatarSue Vincent's Daily Echo

Demons_&_Pearls_Cover_for_KindleHad I known the repercussions of murdering the captain of a pirate ship, I may have taken the time necessary to rethink the act. As if I’ve ever had a choice that didn’t involve a fight or at the very least, defending myself against some man, hell bent on destroying me or my kin.
All we wanted was our freedom. All we found were demons disguised as men.
A woman pirate needs friends, big strong male friends, to survive in this unforgiving land of thieves and murderers—at least until she gets on her feet. Of course, trying to find one person you can trust is like finding an oyster with a perfect pearl in it—you have to break a few shells and get your hands dirty. We were lucky. I found the biggest, baddest and most honorable man in the Caribbean and he just happened to be in the pearl…
