Introducing…Lorcan

*Warning: this one's a long 'un* Today, you get to meet Lorcan Aelysk, Haelean prince and commander of the forces attempting to...acquire Fariel for the Emperor. Today’s interview sees me one again outside the comforts of my office and in the wilds of Fariel. The carriage rattles along the pock marked road, jolting something fierce. …

Introducing…Hrithur

This week votes for Eriden and Hrithur were tied but I decided to go with Hrithur as we haven't heard from any of the boys yet.  The door to my office swings open, squealing on its ancient hinges. I look up from the notepad on my desk to see Hrithur framed in the doorway. His …

Introducing…Gwen

There were an equal number of votes for Eriden and Gwen this week so I tossed a coin and Gwen came out on top. I open the door at the knock, standing aside so Gwen can enter. Her eyes widen at the speed with which the door opened, her hand still held up, mid-knock. She …

Introducing…Karavere

Kara sits on the couch, her legs tucked up under her. Her gaze searches the room, studying the titles on the spines of books and the metalwork around the fireplace. It strikes me how young she is, barely out of adolescence. She is shorter than I remember too, her head only reaching to my chin. …

Introducing…Zyr*

*yes, in all the promos, I called him Zri but I was getting my characters confused. When I went back to my manuscript, I realised my mistake. So here is Zyr. My face is sweaty beneath the blindfold and I can feel sand leaking into the holes in my boots and catching in my throat …

New Character Page!

  For the last few weeks, I've been interviewing a few of my characters and now, for ease of access, I've built a little home for them. You can find all my interviews, plus heaps of photos from my pinterest boards HERE.

Introducing…Kalegos

A knock comes at the door. I check the clock on the wall. He’s late. “Come in,” I call. The door swings open to reveal a dark haired youth dressed in an ill-fitting pair of breeches and a yellow tunic. I raise an eyebrow. “New trick?” Kalegos half-smiles, sauntering into the room and taking a …

WIPpet Wednesday

The votes for my character interviews have been going well so far. At the moment, it looks like Kalegos is in the lead! Which is both exciting and daunting because he is definitely the character that I know least about right now. In the last two weeks of my SSHK interviews, the race is between Kalegos and Zri. …

Introducing…Jahinda

Follow the links to see my previous interviews with Maisha and Itsak. “So, Jahinda,” I begin. “Welcome.” She nods, straight-backed on the sofa. Her thick auburn curls are held back from her face by a long ribbon, the same burnt orange as the rest of her outfit. “Let’s start at the beginning. How did you …

ROW80 Update

My goals for ROW80 are: read a book a fortnight – I should have finished The Last of the Amazons by now but I haven't. It's not half as engaging as it could be. I have, however, signed up at the local library and borrowed C. S. Pacat's Captive Prince. I'm going to talk she is holding next week, mostly because …
