Guest Author (+ a Giveaway!): Carrie Ann Ryan – A Character Interview

Posted April 30, 2013 by Tracy in Giveaways, Promotions | 11 Comments

Hi y’all! Thanks so much for having me and my crew here today. I took some time out of our busy day to sit down with Ambrose, Jamie, and Balin from my book, Her Warriors’ Three Wishes which is the second book in the Dante’s Circle Series. I can’t wait to see what they say. Carrie Ann: Thank you three for coming! How are you guys?

Ambrose: Busy, but glad the book is finally out.

Jamie: Tell me about it! I feel like we’ve been waiting forever for our story to be told.

Balin: True. Why did it take so long?

Carrie Ann: I see it’s going to be one of those types of interviews where my characters ask me questions…okay…as for taking so long? Well, book 1, Dust of My Wings came out less than a year ago and because of other commitments, I had to wait a bit for you three, but don’t worry, your story is out to the masses now. And book 3, An Unlucky Moon, will be out in September, so it’s not as big as a wait. Okay, so tell me, what is it like to be in a ménage?

Jamie: *blushes* Amazing.

Balin: *chuckles* Considering I thought I was dying and would never find one mate, let alone two? Yeah, I’m happy as hell.

Ambrose: It’s different since we have to take three people in account at all times. Communication is even more important now since we want to make sure the three of us are happy and to make sure we’re happy as duos within that trio at the same time.

Carrie Ann: You said that perfectly, Ambrose. I get questions all the time as to how two big, strong men can share a woman and not get angry and I don’t understand that at all.

Jamie: I don’t either. I mean, It’s not like I’m a piece of meat they fight over. They both work together to make me happy the same way I work with Balin to make Ambrose happy and work with Ambrose to make Balin happy. We’re a true triad so we always have another person to rely on for help, you know?

Carrie Ann: Totally. Okay, let’s get some background info for the new readers, shall we? Ambrose, you’re an angel. Tell me about that.

Ambrose: I’m of the warrior class, so it’s my job to protect the angelic realm from war and other disaters. I’m the sword of justice for a council who lays the laws. I’m also the lead trainer for new warriors so I work with the younger angels when I have time.

Carrie Ann: *grins* I’d be scared if I were a young angel working for you.

Balin: *laughs* Tell me about it. All he needs to do is frown and the younglings run in the other direction.

Ambrose: *glowers* I’m not that bad.

Carrie Ann: *looks the other way and whistles* Uh, so Balin, you’re a demon.

Balin: Smooth, Carrie Ann. Yes, I’m a demon. Though I’m not the same as the soul-sucking ones I left behind. I don’t feed on humans like my brethren.

Jamie: *hugs Balin close*

Carrie Ann: Now, Jamie, we aren’t going to talk about what you turn into since that’ll be a spoiler, but tell me a bit about how you got here.

Jamie: Well, in Dust of My Wings me and seven of my friends were struck by lightning. That caused a shift in our DNA that led us to here. You see, humans aren’t really human in our world. Each human is actually a diluted version of a supernatural. So the lightning strike ceased that dormant DNA to act oddly. So once we find our true half we can turn into the supernatural creature we were meant to be.

Carrie Ann: Thank you for explaining. So, before we go, anything to tell us about the future?

Jamie: Well, next up I think you’ll see Hunter and Jamie since they have something to talk about. Also, I think Fawkes has a story to tell if you do what you want to do.

Carrie Ann: *grins* Oh, I have an idea for him. Thanks so much for coming and thanks so much for letting us stop by!

Her Warriors’ Three Wishes Blurb

Humans aren’t as alone as they choose to believe. Every human possesses a trait of supernatural that lays dormant within their genetic make-up. Centuries of diluting and breeding have allowed humans to think they are alone and untouched by magic. But what happens when something changes?

Ambrose Griffin is older than most, if not all, civilizations. As each year passes, he submerses himself into his training, only relaxing around his protégée and friend, Shade. After losing his wife and children in the last Angelic Wars, he guards his heart and has no desire to share it with another.

Bookkeeper and romance novel enthusiast, Jamie Bennett dreams of being swept off her feet by a white knight. However, her life is no romance book. Since meeting Ambrose—a sexy, delicious angel—she’s been twisted inside out and doesn’t know why. Things are happening that she can’t control and now her life is in danger.

Balin Drake is stuck in hell, literally. His life of refusing to take souls, even though it’s part of his demon nature, has caught up with him. He’s dying and now must search for his true half, but even a mating may not save him. When he meets the two people who could fill that part, he’ll need to fight for something he hasn’t felt in over a century—hope.

Warning: Contains a rigid angel who needs a certain sexy woman to help him unwind, a book keeper who finds herself the creamy center of the best cookie ever, and a demon who has a certain taste for pressing them both against walls.

Excerpt

The demon’s scream was cut short as Ambrose sliced off his head. Its decapitated head stared back at Ambrose, his eyes wide and full of the fear he should have had from the beginning. Though the others in hell couldn’t tell Ambrose was a warrior angel, and thereby thought he must have been just a normal demon, he thought at least the stupid soldier wouldn’t have tried to kill him by himself.

The other man had had a weak technique and even weaker body.

It was no wonder the lowly demon had died so suddenly.

He wiped his blade on the clothes of the dead demon and sheathed it. He’d have to clean it fully when he got back to the other realm. At least, he hoped he could get back. He hadn’t devised a plan in which to do so, but he hoped that Dante’s friend Balin could aid him in that respect.

Ambrose looked out onto the barren wasteland of the hell realm and shook his head. Throughout his years, he’d yet to spend any significant amount of time here. In fact, he’d only been here once before, during the last angel and demon war, a millennia or two ago.

There were no children running in the streets, no laughter or promise filling the empty space.

No, this was a place of death, the place humans fought so hard and with such vehemence not to make it to.

It was just too bad that sometimes the demons brought them, not the humans themselves. That was why, if he could find this Balin, he’d save him along with Jamie. The demon hadn’t taken a soul and was dying for it. Ambrose would find a way to protect the man.
