Pippa Jay's Keir

2/1/2016

February is about to be filled with hot heroes from some rockin' romance novels. Vote for your favorites and enter to win some great ebooks! My first leading man is Keir, from book one of Pippa Jay's Redemption series.

Tell us, Keir, what’s your idea of the perfect date?

To be alone with my ahmiri on our island, wrapped in each other's arms with just the sound of the sea and the warm wind in the trees for company as we watch the sun set and the moon rise over the sea.

Sounds lovely! And what gift would you give your love for Valentine’s Day & why?

What is Valentine's Day? I should buy her a gift? From where? *panics* Do you think she would be happy if I picked an armful of her favourite flowers from the island?

I'm sure she would love them. Now, tell us more about you. What would you say is your greatest flaw?

I doubt myself, my abilities, or that I deserve or merit any love or kindness.

And what’s your greatest strength?

My loyalty. I will defend those I love and respect to my dying breath.

If they were to make a movie of your life, what genre would it be?

Movie? *consults archives* ah, you would call it science fiction perhaps?

Sounds like some great Sci Fi to me! Here's more about Keir:

A demon waiting to die...
An outcast reviled for his discolored skin and rumors of black magic, Keirlan de Corizi sees no hope for redemption. Imprisoned beneath the palace that was once his home, the legendary 'Blue Demon of Adalucien' waits for death to finally free him of his curse. But salvation comes in an unexpected guise.

A woman determined to save him.
Able to cross space and time with a wave of her hand, Tarquin Secker has spent eternity on a hopeless quest. Drawn by a compulsion she can't explain, she risks her apparent immortality to save Keir, and offers him sanctuary on her home-world, Lyagnius. But Quin has secrets of her own.

When Keir mistakenly unleashes the dormant alien powers within him and earns exile from Lyagnius, Quin chooses to stand by him. Can he master his newfound abilities in time to save Quin from the darkness that seeks to possess her?

Book One of the Redemption series and part of the Travellers Universe. Previously released by Lyrical Press Inc. 7th May 2012

Villain Visitations - with Pippa Jay's 'the Siah-dhu'

10/7/2015

6 Comments

By the pricking of my thumbs, something evil this way has come! The Siah-dhu has arrived on my blog, straight from Pippa Jay's novel, Keir.

Tell us, what is your ultimate goal?

To possess Quin and gain her ability to travel through time and space with merely a thought.

I can see the allure of that kind of power. What do you see as your greatest obstacle?

She continues to evade and resist us!

Pick an historical figure and compare yourself to him or her– how are you alike and different?

We believe your species has a legend of something called a bogeyman. Imagine not one but many. A legion of darkness, shadows and terrors...

Yikes, sounds ominous! Speaking of sound... name a song that would be played in the soundtrack of your life?

Session by Linkin Park

Alrighty, then! And now, more about Pippa Jay's Keir:

A visit from Pippa Jay's Professor Dark

10/1/2014

2 Comments

Let the evil cackling commence! October is Villain Visitation month here on my blog. I’ll be interviewing two antagonists each week. Today Professor Dark, the villain of Pippa Jay's novel, When Dark Falls, is my guest.

Thanks for joining us, Professor. Tell us….

What is your ultimate goal?

To utterly destroy Nocturnelle and drown the city of Nephopolis in eternal night!

What makes you so driven to accomplish this goal?

Nocturnelle is a nuisance. A rival. A spy for the other side and a traitor. I need the darkness. The sunlight hurts me. And before I can get rid of the sun, I have to get rid of Nocturnelle and her companions.

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

None of them. Prrrfft. They're all failures. Name me one who has ever achieved their goal. No, wait - all of them. They'd provide the perfect distraction.

Describe yourself in three words or less.

Three are insufficient. I'm a total genius! You expect me to sum myself up in three measly words? It’s an insult.

I see. Why don’t I provide a few more words about the superhero romance novel, When Dark Falls, then…

In a city where Dark Technologies Inc. now runs the show, Kadie Williams has more immediate concerns than the fall of Blaze, their guardian superhero. Almost every morning for the last few months she’s woken up with cuts and bruises on her body, and no idea how she got them. There are no nightmares. No evidence that she sleepwalks, or any sign of a break in. And nothing to tell her who’s been cleaning up after her. As just one of thousands of civilians conscripted to slave away in the labs of Professor Dark, she knew there'd be trouble ahead. But she never expected it to be so bad, or so personal.

Desperate for answers, Kadie looks to the new defender of the night, the only person who can hinder the total domination of Professor Dark—Nocturnelle. The mysterious vigilante superhero came from nowhere with her cybernetic sidekick Shadow, set on putting an end to the brutality of Dark's regime. But as his laboratories work on a new secret super-weapon, Nocturnelle and Shadow may not be enough to save Nephopolis...or to save Kadie either.

When Dark Falls will be available from Breathless Press from November. To sign up for Pippa Jay’s newsletter, click here for an update on release, or check out her webpage here.

Interview with Pippa Jay #2

5/18/2014

2 Comments

Sci-Fi month continues here on my blog. I’ll be interviewing two authors of science fiction each week, so be sure to catch them all!

Today I’m interviewing Pippa Jay, author of SciFi with a romantic soul. Thanks for being here, Pippa!

Thanks so much for having me, Audra. :)

What is your all time favorite sci-fi novel, and why?
Wow, straight in with a toughie! Um, I guess one that I read so many times that it actually fell apart - The Crystal Singer by Anne McCaffrey. I think because it's more a blend of fantasy and SciFi, and I didn't find it quite as dry as Arthur C Clarke for example. It had very rich and complex world building, intriguing tech based on crystals (my magpie tendencies coming out there), and relatable characters. I read it as a teenager, so Killashandra Ree flouncing out of her musical academy was something I could instantly empathize with.

Anything that ruins a science fiction novel in your opinion?
I don't mind people basing things on currently impossible or improbable science if they keep it consistent for their universe, but I don't like it when basic rules like gravity and momentum are ignored. Plus, while I love light AND heavy tech SciFi, if I feel the story is more like a science lecture than actual story, that also turns me off. There needs to be a balance.

Where did you get the idea for your sci-fi novel?
It was a combination of my love for Star Wars, the desire to write something with more tech than my previous SF, and a lot of teen angst style music! It also gave me a chance to explore and share more about characters from other stories I've written, both published and as yet unpublished or unfinished.

Tell us about your science fiction novel in 25 words or less.
Abandoned by his mother after his father's death, Gethyon must master his strange new powers to evade the dark entity pursuing him across time & space.

THIS or THAT?

Ewoks or Tribbles?

Er, Ewoks.

Space Travel or Time Travel?
Space.

1984 or Logan’s Run?
Logan's Run.

Twilight Zone or Outer Limits?
Twilight Zone.

Interview with author Pippa Jay

2/6/2013

8 Comments

To help get us in the mood for Valentine's Day, this February I've invited some romance authors to stop by my blog. There will be two guest interviews each week, so be sure to
catch them all!

This week I’ve invited Pippa Jay, author of Keir and Terms
& Conditions Apply to be my guest star. Thanks for being here,
Pippa!

Thanks for having me, Audra!

I recently learned that the majority of books sold are romance novels. Why do you think romance is such an appealing genre?

I think because, no matter how torturous and heartrending the story
itself might be and whatever hardships the characters suffer, in the
end there's always a HEA or at least a HFN, which makes them
a feel-good type of story. They're also very flexible - you can blend
in pretty much any other genre to broaden their appeal. I wouldn't read
a contemporary romance, but mix in some scifi, fantasy or even just
a touch of magic realism and I'll read it.

What would you say are some key ingredients for a good date?

For me personally, it's who I'm spending the time with rather than what we do. There shouldn't be too
many distractions so a quiet dinner or a walk on the beach are perfect. Really getting to know the other
person is more important than the occasion. That's just window dressing. Although I wouldn't turn down
an extravagant party if it's on offer.

I spent many school dances at home eating chips and ice cream, which is a good thing,
considering my dancing skills. Did you ever have to cheer yourself up after a disappointing
date (or non-date)? What was your cure?

Lol, I'm afraid comfort food was my choice of consolation too. Something chocolate for preference.
Or a really good singing session to pour out all the negativity.

What would the main character of your latest book be like on a date? (Shy, life of the party, naughty?)

My male MC was brought up in a medieval-style society, so he's quite reserved, courtly and considerate. He also
doesn't consider himself attractive due to a genetic aberration that made his skin dark blue, and his body is
completely covered in tattoos so he would be a little tentative on a date I think.

What’s your latest novel about, in 25 words or less?

Reviled and outcast by his own people, Keir must overcome his tortured past and master his alien heritage to save
the woman he loves.

Where can we learn more about your books?
