Back to school blog hop with Linda Ulleseit

For my last blog hop this month, I'm joining Linda Ulleseit's Back to School Blog Hop. This is also a preview to next month's blog theme: Villain Visitations, since I'll be interviewing the villain of Linda's novels, On a Wing and a Dare and Under a Wild and Darkening Sky.

And now, let me introduce Evan...

1. Tell us, Evan, what is your ultimate goal?

 As leader of a barn full of flying horses, I am always searching for ways to improve my herd’s performance in the Aerial Games. Some people may not like my methods, but I will do whatever it takes to get the best horses in my herd. I like white horses since my mother rode a marvelous white mare. A herd consisting of all white winged horses would make an impressive sight against a blue sky, don’t you think? I’m surprised more riders don’t realize that. The townspeople’s views don’t matter, of course, but those that ride winged horses must surely be interested in staging a good performance. I must be the most forward-thinking of all the barn leaders.

2. What makes you so driven to accomplish this goal? 

My father was a well-loved, successful barn leader. I can achieve and surpass his record with the right team of riders and superb mounts. My parents would be proud of me, especially since my little brother is worthless in a barn.

3. If you could choose anyone from the literary world as your partner in crime, who would you choose and why?

I would recruit Cinder. Even though she’s not completely human, she’s smart and clever. I like that she has a firm sense of duty. I could trust her to do what she’s told and not ask questions.

4. Describe yourself in three words or less. 

Persistent, ruthless, visionary

Thanks so much for joining us today, Evan. To read more about Evan and those flying horses, pick up Linda Ulleseit's books on Amazon or visit her sites today:

Meet my character blog hop

September is hoppin’ here on my blog. I’ve been invited to join some blog hops & so I thought I’d get in on the fun. This week, author Elizabeth Fountain has invited me to participate in the ‘Meet my characters’ Blog hop. I’ll be answering some character related questions about my latest novel, Abomination…

1) What is the name of your character?  Is he/she fictional or a historic person?

Princess Willow has a gift for debate. She is a fan of satin, lace, and getting her own way. She is the strong-willed daughter of Watcher and Benaiah, the King and Queen of Forest End, which is a fictional land from my fantasy series.

2) When and where is the story set?

The story is set in a medieval style fantasy world called Anthelion, where everyone is blessed with one special gift. Most gifts are mundane; for instance, one might be a talented cook or seamstress. Some people, however, have powerful, supernatural abilities. These are the people about whom legends are told.

3) What should we know about your character?

Willow may be a bit of a brat, but she is also clever and as the child of prophecy, she has the ability to change the world.

4) What is the main conflict? What messes up his/her life?

In the beginning of the book, Willow is kidnapped by an enemy kingdom. She finds herself in a strange land in the company of a young man who is nearly impervious to her gifts of persuasion.

5) What is the personal goal of the character?

Six year old Willow would very much like to fulfill her role in the prophecy already so she can get back home to her riding lessons.

6) Is there a working title for this novel, and can we read more about it?

This book is called Abomination. Here are some reviews that will tell you a bit more…

7) When can we expect the book to be published?

This book is now available on Amazon and iBookstore as an ebook or paperback.

And next week (Sept. 16) you’re invited to check out the following author's “Meet My Characters” responses…

Kenneth Schultz - "I like to make things and writing allows me to create whole worlds, the people in these worlds, and challenges to confront my people. Writing also lets me explore issues facing mankind, like the impact on civilization of the exhaustion of fossil fuels. Sci Fi is my favorite genre and fits well with my background in engineering, science, and economics. I presently make my home on Washington's picturesque Olympic Peninsula."

Blog Hoppiness - First Line Challenge

PictureClick here to purchase from Amazon!
This month for my blog, I am going to be participating in some Writing 'Hops.' First off, I am accepting the "First Line Challenge" from author C. Lee Brown. It's taken me a while to get to it, Lee, but here goes...

The rules are simple. You are to post the first sentence for the first 3 chapters in your WIP to your facebook wall (or blog) and tag other writer friends, making sure to tag the person who sent the request to you. At the very least, we might end up making some new friends, and read some awesome one-liners.

From my WIP, Survivor, a sequel to my humorous paranormal thriller, Hitchhiker:

Ch. 1> Carmen gave up breathing through the collar of her jacket, its fabric now moist with the condensation of her breath.

Ch. 2>“What was so important you had to drag me here before sunrise?” Rodney Harris reached for his near empty bottle of Tums, shaking three chalky tablets into his palm.

Ch. 3> Ainsley ran fingers through her wavy locks, wondering if she remembered to brush her hair before leaving her apartment.


Sound interesting? Hitchhiker is available as an ebook now!

Now I am tagging any of you writers out there to share the first lines of your latest works in progress on your blog or Facebook wall…


Stay tuned Sept. 9 for more blog hoppiness here on my blog.
