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.
