Morning, everyone. The final day of the interview. Its been so much fun, and the reaction to Lugus has been overwhelming. My deepest thanks. If you sent in your questions via email and I don't post them here on the blog, I will answer them in an email.
Now, onto the last of the interview, then the WINNER!
---------------------------------------------------
DG: Morning. The last day.
Lugus: ::sits:: Good Morn. I have to say, your company has been a delight.
DG: ::beams:: Thank you. I know you wish to return to your isle, so I'll make this quick. First question. Rita wants to know how you feel about mixed species relationships? What if your true mate wasn't a Fae, would you forsake destiny and why?
Lugus: Interesting question. Though it is frowned upon, I do know that some Fae have fallen in love with humans, and their union produced offspring. Dartayous is one of those. His father is Fae, his mother human. It happens, and I don't see anything wrong with it. Love doesn't care about race, color or society. I don't think anyone should forsake love since its not liable to come twice in a lifetime.
DG: ::nods with a smile:: Once again you surprise me. I would have thought you'd feel differently.
Lugus: ::raises one flaxen brow:: I love surprising people.
DG: Tonya would like to know if you would ever try to return to the Realm of the Fae?
Lugus: ::shakes his head:: Once banished, always banished. I would not be welcomed, and most likely thrown back into the Realm of Shadows. Nothing could make me try to return to the Realm of the Fae. Nothing.
DG: Have you spoken to your brother since he made you mortal?
Lugus: Nay, nor will I. He made his decision clear by not allowing me to die. This is a punishment. Not that I'm complaining. I deserve so much more than this.
DG: I think you've punished yourself more than anyone else could. Maybe its time you let go of the past and lived. Really lived.
Lugus: ::stands and bows regally:: You have been a charming host. I wish great things for you, Donna.
DG: ::smiles:: Remember, love finds a way.
Lugus: Not with me. ::winks before turning on his heel and leaving::
-------------------------------------------
I hope you enjoyed this weeks interview. It was a pleasure. :)
And the winner of the free download of one of my back list books, signed promo and four print books from today's hottest historical writers is...CRYSTAL! Congratulations, Crystal. Please send me an email and give me your address.
Have a great weekend everyone. Come back next week to see who the Hunk of the Week is and what question I ask for you readers.
hugs,
D
Thank you all for the wonderful comments and emails I got about the new cover. I'm pleased with it myself. :)
Usually today is the last day of the interview, but we've had so many questions for Lugus that I'll finish the interview tomorrow and announce the winner at the end of the interview.
THANK YOU to everyone who has participated. You're the best!
------------------------------------------------
DG: ::rubs hands together as Lugus sits:: Ready to start?
Lugus: And a good morn to you as well.
DG: ::chuckles:: Sorry. We got some really good questions yesterday, and I know I told you the interview would end today, but could you come for one more day?
Lugus: For you? Anything.
DG: ::beams:: Thank you. Now, let's get started. Nancy would like to know who are the poeple that you trust?
Lugus: There is really only one man I trust. Jonathon is his name. He's an expert hunter and supplies me with the leather I need to make the scabbards. He's a good man.
DG: I'm glad there is someone you can trust. Next question from Danielle who wants to know if you had a woman on your realm before you were sent to the Realm of Shadows?
Lugus: ::barks with laughter:: I was heir to the throne. Women were everywhere, hoping and praying that I might choose them. I was already betrothed though, to the very woman my brother married once I was taken.
DG: Its no wonder you wanted revenge, Lugus. No one should have to suffer as you have.
Lugus: Long ago, my father told me that revenge was the way to death. I wish I had listened to him.
DG: Um...next question is from Rita. She would like to know if you should be given a miracle, what is the first thing you would do or change?
Lugus: I would not release the Death Dragons. Seeing them destroy my realm as well as other dragons nearly killed me. It is a sight I would gladly erase from my memories.
DG: Yes, that wasn't a good day. He's a question from January, your biggest fan. She would like to know if you'd change the past, or let it lie?
Lugus: ::sighs:: At one time I held more power than anyone. I could have taken over any realm I wanted to. With that power I could change what I've done, right the wrongs, so to speak. But now, now I cannot even hear my brethren. If I could change the past, I most certainly would. It would start with my father. I wouldn't argue with him that day he died. I would walk away as my mother often bade me because of my temper. For if that one small incident could change, the rest would as well.
DG: Everyone knows you didn't kill your father.
Lugus: Now they do.
DG: You talked about Jonathon, but is there a woman that has caught your eye?
Lugus: ::smiles seductively:: There are many beautiful women throughout the realms, I'll not deny that.
DG: Answer the question, please
Lugus: Ask what you really want to know.
DG: ::stares at Lugus before she sighs loudly:: Fine. Have you taken a woman to your bed in these last five years?
Lugus: Wouldn't you like to know.
------------------------------------------------
Have more questions? Ask away. I'll get as many in tomorrow as I can.
And don't forget to respond to the blog to be entered for the prize!
Good morning, all. Y'all are the best in sending in questions. I'll get to as many as I can today. Here's the cover. What do you think?
DG: ::smiles as Lugus walks in and takes his chair:: You look tired.
Lugus: I was up late crafting a weapon.
DG: Oh, that leads right into a question that Crystal had. She wants to know if you client tells you what kind of weapon they want of if your creativity leads you while you work?
Lugus: A little of both actually. The client will tell me if they want a dagger or sword. Crafting weapons is an art, and like any other kind of art whether its designing a castle or painting, an artist wants to leave their mark on it. My mark is the designs I create on the blade. ::unsheathes his sword and holds in front of him::
DG: ::whistles low:: That's...beautiful. All those Celtic knots on the blade. That's just amazing and must take hours.
Lugus: Thank you. ::sheaths sword and leans back in chair:: It is my trade, something I enjoy. I leave my mark when I can.
DG: If you ever find the time, I'd love to have a sword made for me.
Lugus: ::lips twitch:: I confess, I've not made a sword for a woman before.
DG: Stop laughing, and there's a first time for everything. Now, on to more questions.
Lugus: By all means.
DG: ::rolls eyes:: This one is from Becky. She wants to know why you chose an isle to live on? And why Scotland?
Lugus: If you had ever seen the Realm of the Fae, you would understand why I chose Scotland. Scotland is as close to my realm as I'll ever get. Its wild, untamed beauty makes me feel at home. As for why the isle? I like being alone and the isle gives me that.
DG: Rita wants to know why you have given up?
Lugus: ::crosses arm over his chest:: I've killed. I aligned myself with a vile man of this realm to take over Earth and the Realm of the Fae. I released the Death Dragons that nearly destroyed my realm. I was willing to kill the man Moira loved just to ensure she stay with me. I gave my life to save her, in penance for my deeds. Yet, here I am. A mortal and banished from my realm. I live each day expecting to see a Fae that has come to kill me. In fact, I await that day with joy.
DG: Lugus, you were thrown into the Realm of Shadows on suspicion of killing your father. You survived that place after several millennia. And you escaped its clutches. Yes, you wanted revenge, yes you might have gone about it the wrong way, but you are free of that realm.
Lugus: Only to be here. ::holds up a hand when Donna would speak more:: I know what you try, and I thank you. I know of no other who would do such.
DG: I think, Lugus, that you are destined for something important.
Lugus: ::chuckles:: Do you possess Fae powers now that you can see into the future?
DG: You never know.
DG: Morning, Lugus.
Lugus: Good morn, Donna.
DG: I've had lots of questions sent in for you, but I don't think I'll get to all of them. Let's see....oh, ok. Here's one. Suzanne wants to know why you think you should be alone?
Lugus: Its not just that I'm a monster, its also that I'm not fit company for anyone. I live on my isle for a reason. I'm not bothered, and I like it that way.
DG: Here's a question from Laura, she wants to know what you do on your isle?
Lugus: I craft weapons as well as the sheaths that hold them. Each individual weapon is made specifically for a person. No two of my weapons are alike.
DG: I see from the sword at your back that you are highly talented. I bet you're in high demand.
Lugus: ::shrugs:: It pays for me to eat.
DG: ::laughs:: A bashful Lugus. I would never have thought.
Lugus: ::grins:: I'm full of surprises.
DG: Really? Tell me one.
Lugus: I miss seeing the dragons more than I miss my brethren.
DG: I've not seen the dragons myself, but I've had them described to me. I hear they are magnificent.
Lugus: They are creatures unlike any others. There is only one other culture that holds them in as much regard as the Fae do.
DG: I can tell from your tight lips that you don't like this other culture.
Lugus: The Fae and the Draconians fought violently with our dragons on your realm. Neither of us came away victors. Once the Draconian's left, the Fae soon followed, leaving Earth for mankind.
DG: I've heard rumors of the Draconians. What are they like?
Lugus: Very powerful. Almost as powerful as the Fae. And highly dangerous.
DG: I'll keep that in mind. Here's a question from Stephanie who wants to know if you've seen Moira since you've been at Scotland?
Lugus: ::sighs wearily:: Nay, nor do I intend to. Her mate is Dartayous, and though it pains me to admit it, she is better off with him. He is a good man, a man who will cherish her always.
DG: Do you think you could ever fill that way towards a woman?
Lugus: Nay. Not all are destined for love.
DG: One never knows what the future holds, Lugus.
----------------------------------------------------
I hope you enjoyed today's interview. Remember, the more you post to the blog, the more times you'll be entered for the books I'm giving away on Friday. To see which books I'm giving away, look on the Day One post.
See you tomorrow!
Good morning, everyone. This interview has been long in coming, and I'm thrilled to finally be able to introduce Lugus to you this week. His book, Highland Fires will be available at the end of this month.
I have quite a prize this month. I'll be giving away several books:
First, I wanted to thank everyone who came out and played this week. I'm slowly getting people to realize that they can post to the blog and its not as dangerous as they think. :) Regardless, I appreciate you all being here and getting to know my characters.
There were a few more questions that came in yesterday and I think I answered all of them. Kimberly, you asked a few here on the blog, and I know the answers so we don't have to try and track down Elric. :D
You asked:
"What kind of woman is he searching for? And with what qualities or just anyone?" From what I've learned from both Elric and Lucian, they have no information on their mates. No qualities, not location, nothing. It is a very daunting task they undertake.
"How do you know you can trust the one that you think will be your mate?"
Unfortunately, we didn't get to know how the princes' know their mates. Once they've had sex, a hidden tattoo will show itself on both of them, running from shoulder to elbow. It was a gift from the Fae so that these men would know they had indeed found their mates, and it sometimes helps to convince the women. As to if they can trust them? They have no choice but to trust them when the fate of their kingdom and their people are in the balance.
I hope that helps answer some of your questions. :)
Now, on to the winner of this weeks interview. ::drum roll:: And the winner is...Stephanie! Congrats, Stephanie. Send me an email and let me know which book from my backlist you'd like. :)
I also hinted yesterday that I would reveal who the next interview is with. Normally I don't do this, but there has been such a cry for this character to come that I couldn't keep it to myself a moment longer. Mark your calendars now for the next interview starting June 4th - 8th with...LUGUS.
The long awaited fourth book in my Druid's Glen series will be out next month. Get a leg up on other readers with this interview. And if you want to go ahead and send in any questions you have for me, I'll start taking them now.
Oh, and January, sweetie, no cheating. :D
::smooches::
I always hate the last day of the interviews. I don't like when they end. :( The questions that have come in this week are numerous and I'll get to them all as soon as I can. So, lets get started...
DG: ::whistles as Elric comes in with a sword strapped to his back:: You look ready for...battle.
Elric: I like being prepared.
DG: That I can understand. Speaking of being prepared, I have a question from Lucy who watched one of my book trailers and wanted to know what a Tnarg is?
Elric: ::sneers and all but growls:: They are vicious, inhuman, merciless beasts whose sole purpose is to kill our mates before we can bring them into the safety of Drahcir.
DG: Where did they come from?
Elric: If I knew I'd hunt them out. ::runs hand down face:: They've been around as long as the curse has been in place.
DG: What happens if one of them kills a mate?
Elric: It would be the end of Drahcir.
DG: In other words, they are trying to prevent you from reaching Drahcir with your mate.
Elric: Aye. We've had our suspicions that the Tnargs are somehow related to the Fae that cursed us.
DG: Do you have any warning before it attacks?
Elric: ::shakes head sadly:: Unlike us, the Tnargs are magical so they can shift through time at will.
DG: Putting you at a distinct disadvantage.
Elric: Aye.
DG: ::sighs loudly:: Maria would like to know how often do you return to Drahcir and how long you're able to stay before resuming your search.
Elric: We cannot return without our mates. If we return without our mates, it dooms the kingdom, so we must remain on our hunt until we find and convince our mates to return with us.
DG: Patty would like to know if you could just bring your mate there unwillingly?
Elric: Never. If we did, it would destroy the kingdom as well. The Fae princess was very specific in how she cursed us. Our mates have to be willing to return with us, so we cannot use force.
DG: So you use anything else you're able to, like seduction.
Elric: We must do what we can to ensure that Drahcir remains.
DG: Janice would like to know when you have to return to Drahcir?
Elric I have until the Fifth Moon of the Harvest year.
DG: How does that translate in our time?
Elric: I have three months.
DG: I wish there was something that we could do to help.
Elric: Since Mandy is so interested, I think I'll stop by her place first.
DG: Mandy, look out, doll. Don't think you stand a chance against him. Sex just oozes off him.
Elric: ::winks:: Sure you won't change your mind?
DG: Tempting, very tempting.
Elric: ::kisses Donna's hand:: Until the next time we meet.
DG: Godspeed, Elric.
=============================================
I hope you all enjoyed the interview. Don't forget to return tomorrow to learn who the winner is and to discover who I've lined up to interview next month. I think January will be verrrrrrrry happy. :)
DG: Hello, Elric. I apologize for being late.
Elric: Nothing to apologize for. Shall we start?
DG: Of course. ::looks through notes:: All right. First question, this one from Shawna who would like to know if you thought you'd come close to finding your mate?
Elric: There have been a few instances.
DG: What made you realize she wasn't the right one?
Elric: I think my father described it best when he told me and my brothers that we would feel it all the way to our very soul when we found our mates. There would be no doubt, no hesitation in claiming her.
DG: This ties in to Janie's question of do you feel something special when you find your mate?
Elric: Both my parents described it as if a part of them they hadn't known was missing had been found.
DG: Amazing. I can't imagine having to search for your mate in a short time period, but to finally find her, the experience must be...awesome.
Elric: I hope to discover it very soon.
DG: Me as well. ::looks down for next question:: Catslady asks how long you've been searching?
Elric: ::laughs, but sadness still darkens his eyes:: Catslady. I like that name. Its different and tells me she's an animal lover.
DG: Elric...
Elric: I must have a little fun, Donna. I don't know exactly how long I've been searching. Time runs different in your world than it does in my kingdom. Two days in my kingdom is like six months in your world. I began my search so earnestly as soon as I stepped out of my kingdom that I didn't pay attention to time at first. My calculations say I've been searching for almost two years.
DG: A long time to be sure.
Elric: More than you can possibly know. I cannot trust anyone so I stay by myself for fear that someone might follow me back to Drahcir and try to take it over. The kingdom is pure and the closest thing to perfect as it can get.
DG: So there's no evil?
Elric: I didn't say that. Good cannot survive without evil. Can you imagine a place where there is no wars, no one goes hungry and crime is almost non-existent? That's Drahcir. Evil does reside in my kingdom, we just don't let it overtake us.
DG: You say you've been alone while you've been searching. Have you not spoken with anyone?
Elric: Nay. I cannot chance it. I will tell my mate all, but no one else.
DG: You must be incredibly lonely.
Elric: My need to find my mate keeps the loneliness at bay.
==========================================================
Keep sending me those questions. Remember, for everyone who responds to the blog, they'll be entered for their choice of a free download from my backlist. Enter as many times as you want. :)
Until tomorrow...
Wow. The questions came flying in yesterday. Not sure I'll be able to ask them all, but I'll do my best. :)
------------------------------------------------------
DG: Good morning, Elric.
Elric: ::winks as he sits:: Good morn. You're looking beautiful as ever.
DG: ::Laughs:: Save the seduction for your mate. Shall we get right to the questions?
Elric: Please. I really need to get back to searching. Drahcir hangs in the balance.
DG: ::nods and looks down at paper:: First question. This one is from Sasha. She would like to know if you feel any different since you've left your kingdom?
Elric: Other than missing my family terribly, nay, I'm still the same Elric. The inhabitants of Drahcir do not carry magic. 'Tis just the kingdom itself that pulses with it.
DG: Interesting. I would think that most people believe that you are much like the Fae and have magic inside you.
Elric: If that were the case, the search for our mates would be exceedingly easier. Nay, the Fae that cursed us was very specific in how she wanted to hurt the family.
DG: Hmmmm. Second question, this one from Amanda who would like to know if you are close with your brothers?
Elric: ::closes eyes and sighs softly:: Four brothers have never been closer than us. To grow up always having them near to talk to, to share joys and sorrows, and then leave on the greatest quest of your life and not have a way to communicate with them is torturous.
DG: I cannot begin to imagine your pain. That question leads into one from Mary who wants to know if you've run into your brothers while each of you search?
Elric: Nay. Though I cannot lie and say I haven't looked for them as well in the hopes that their search has led them to the same place as me. I've not been so fortunate. I pray that perhaps one of them has stumbled upon another.
DG: Here's a question from Stephanie who asks, In your search for your mate, are you afforded any clues as to who she maybe or where? Are different eras also included in your search to find your love?
Elric: We were told that we would know our mates instantly. How exactly, depends upon each of us. My father found my mother by her aura. How I will know my mate? I wish I knew. When I stepped out of my kingdom I had no idea of what year it was. We adapt quickly and are able to move across seas and continents at will, but always with the worry that we might not make it back to Drahcir in time. All we can do is pray that our mates are near.
The ability to shift through time involves magic, and since we hold none, is unavailable to us. Only the Fae can move through time and are not allowed to aid us in any way.
DG: The one that cursed your family didn't make it easy in the least. I'm beginning not to like her at all.
Elric: Careful, Donna. You don't wish to anger her and have her curse you and yours.
-------------------------------------------------------
That's it for today. Come back tomorrow for more answers. Don't forget to respond to the blog if you want to be entered for this weeks drawing. And I love getting questions, so be sure to post those as well. :)
Hi, all! With all the excitement of my daughter's birthday and RT, I forgot to mention that this week is Interview Week.
I'm so very pleased to have with us one of the four princes of Drahcir, a hidden magical kingdom deep in the Scottish Highlands. Elric is the second to the youngest of the princes and will be with us for the week talking about his family, the curse on his family and kingdom and anything you would like to know about him.
We met the first of the brother's in the Phoenix Rising II anthology. Now, let me introduce Elric to you whose story you'll find in my upcoming May release Prince of Seduction.
I do apologize for my absence yesterday. Something has come up and I had to go to Val and Gabriel. I cannot stay long.
Thank you all for your many questions and emails. I will answer all the emails as quickly as I can.
Val is calling to me. I have to go. But first, the winner for the week is...Stephanie!
Please contact Donna and tell her you won your choice of either A Dark Guardian or A Kind of Magic download.
I hope to drop by again soon. For now, I must go to the Shields.
Aimery
Good morn. The poll for the favorite Shield has taken a slight turn. Roderick has pulled a little ahead of Cole for the moment.
Don't forget to return tomorrow and see how won the prize.
Now, on to the answers...
Answer for Meagan
I have no doubt you could find some mortal women to tempt me. Fae are very sexual creatures, which is why when we visit Earth we must cloak ourselves for if a human sees a Fae in their true form, keeping them off us is rather difficult. :)
Answer for January
I know Donna has been trying to get Lugus in here to be interviewed for awhile now. I'll see what I can do to give him that little push he needs. Look for him next month, January.
Answer for Tabby
The Fae are easily distinguished by a mortal if we aren't cloaked to them. Its our eyes. We have very unusual swirling blue eyes that all Fae have. All Fae are also blond and tall. There are Fae in your realm now that have been here for years. Some keep to themselves, others like the spotlight. Those that like the attention are the ones that everyone seems to want to throw themselves at. Those are the Fae that aren't completely cloaking themselves. They allow a little bit of our sexuality to show through.
Answers for Julie
As time has moved, mortals have forgotten what it was like to feel the magic in this realm. They've forgotten about the Fae. Now, we are seen as tiny winged creatures, which are in fact pixies. BTW, don't ever anger a pixie. The consequences are severe.
Few mortal believe in the Fae any more. If someone doesn't believe in magic or the Fae, they wouldn't see me if I was standing directly in front of them. You have to believe to see us.
Authors like Donna who are writing about our world are opening eyes once again. More and more mortals are seeing us, which is the need to cloak our true selves. However, the Fae will not walk beside man as they once did. Man is too hungry for power and will not mesh well with our magic.
Answers for Pam
Why should you read the Shield books over others in your TBR pile? Because I'm in them. :)
Page turning, edge of your seat excitement, hot sex, sensational adventures, nightmarish creatures, a horrendous evil with powers that rival the Fae, and beautiful men and women who are willing to die to save your realm. Who could pass up such an opportunity?
Good morn, all. I've more questions to answer. As to the poll of which Shield is the favorite of readers, Roderick and Cole are tied with Gabriel, Val and Hugh close behind.
Keep the questions coming, and as Donna instructed me, I'll give away the prize on Friday to someone who posted.
Now...on to more answers...
Answers for Cathy:
My duties to King Theron and Queen Rufina have kept me extremely busy, not to mention aiding the Shields, the Druids and even the royal Sinclair family. I've not much time for someone else in my life. For millenia I've been alone and it suits me. Maybe one day I'll find my soul mate, but I'm in no hurry.
Robyn
Ah, Gabriel. He is a special man. I don't know many who could survive such vicious wounds as he did, and to have no memories of his past has tortured him like no man should be. I worry for him though. Yet, his gift of healing has saved the Shields countless times, and for that I will always be in his debt.
Answers for January
Tane, aye. Well, I suppose he's a decent sort. Not like any of the other Draconian's I've met since the war between us. Tane helped us when we could have been destroyed and for that I owe him.
As for time for myself? I do manage to take some time. I always spend in deep in the northwest mountains of my realm where the rare blue dragons are found. The land there is pulsing with magic and more beautiful than any place I have ever seen. Maybe one day I will build a home there, but for now I visit when I can.
Answers for Daisy
Thank you for the email and allowing me to answer you here. Once you start posting, its not so bad. :)
I wondered if someone would ask about Lugus. ::sigh:: He, like Theron, was like a brother to me. We grew up together, and it nearly destroyed me to see him accused, then thrown into the Realm of Shadows for his father's killing. His powers were always greater than Theron's, but we never expected that he would find his way out of the Realm of Shadows.
I check on him regularly now that he has made his home in Scotland. Theron has asked that I not speak to Lugus, but my king never said I couldn't check on an old friend.
Answers for Paula
I don't have a favorite Shield. Though none of them have magic as I do, they have battled creatures that would have killed lesser men. They are warriors in the truest form. Each of them brings a different dynamic to their small group, which makes them nearly invincible. I cannot imagine how great they would be if they also held magic.
Answers for Taylor
I would like nothing better than to join the Shields in their fight, yet none of the Fae can. It is written in the rules for all the realms. As it is, we strain the boundaries by training the Shields as well as granting them weapons made in the Realm of the Fae, which does give them an advantage. When needed I move the Shields through time, clothe them and make sure they have everything then need to defeat the Great Evil.
If it wouldn't reap dire consequences for my realm, I and my army, would join the Shields to finish it all. I fear that not all the Shields will make it out alive.
Some great questions came yesterday. There were plenty here on the blog and many more through Donna's email. I'll answer as many as I can today.
Answers to Dani's Questions:
I actually appear in just about all of Donna's books. You first see me in the Druid's Glen series, and I play a very integral part of the Shields. I'm also in her Royal Chronicle series and I've told her I must be in her new series, The Dragon Kings. Its about the Fae's mortal enemies, the Draconians, so I have to be in those books to make sure everything stays in order.
I'm not a Shield, but my rank is Commander of the Fae armies. I rule all the armies and answer only to Theron and Rufina, the king and queen of the Fae.
:) As for my position of mortal women, there are many that I have found beautiful, and some that I have shared a night with on Beltane, but none have held my attention longer than that. My heart and soul belong to my realm and my people.
Answers to Meagan's Questions:
Thank you for friending me on MySpace, Meagan. Donna said I might become addicted and I have. :) As for Donna, she's safely occupied with her newest book. As for which one she's writing, you'll have to ask her. She's quite angry at me for taking over her blog.
Ah, so Hugh has captured your attention, aye? I'll make note of it.
Answers for Cathy:
Hello, Cathy. I wondered if anyone would ask why Val is Donna's favorite. She has enjoyed all the Shields and as most would say, they are as handsome as sin. It was Val's lust for life, his awesome power as a general for Rome and his undying loyalty to the Shields that captivated her. Yet, what sealed it all was his pale green eyes and a smile he saved just for her that did it all.
Answers for Stephanie:
Thank you for your compliment of my page on MySpace. That picture was drawn by a mortal woman several years ago, your time. It isn't totally accurate, but gives you a good idea of what a Fae looks like in full battle armor. And yes, that is my armor. The horse's name is Parthalan. He's a magnificent beast.
To be ruler of the Fae you have to have awesome amounts of power. Though I hold great power to be Commander of the Fae, I could not think to even try to take King Theron's position. He is like a brother to me and has my complete loyalty.
Ah, good idea about the prize. I think I'll giveaway one of the Shield books. Cole's book, the 3rd in the series, is supposed to come out in June, so now would be a great time to get to know the Shields if you haven't already.
