CONTEST: Ask the Immortal Guardians

The release of Darkness Rises — October 1st — is only a month and a half away!  Let's celebrate with a contest.

"Duvall is fast proving to be a major player!"
—RT Book Reviews

Krysta is used to getting the drop on vampires. Her "special abilities" aren't much, but the plan is simple--she plays helpless pretty young thing to lure them in. Then her shoto swords come out and it's bye-bye, bloodsucker. Until one night she finds herself with an unexpected ally. He's a vampire, all right, but different. Mysterious. Handsome. And more interested in saving her skin than draining it.

Étienne has been an Immortal Guardian for two hundred years--long enough to know that Krysta is special. He can't stop thinking about her long legs, even more than her short swords. Then he discovers the vamps she's exterminating have friends in high places, and the Guardians are in danger too. He'll have to accept Krysta's help to save them. The stakes for a mortal are high. But the cost to his heart might be higher. . .

The Prize  

A signed ARC of Darkness Rises + Immortal Guardians swag!

  19. I have more than 5 questions and not just for the Immortals so I hope you do more than just the Immortal character interviews in the future. VHinman84 (at) gmail (dot) com.

    Questions for all of the Immortals
    How difficult was it to make the switch from red meat to tofu when you grew up in an age when red meat was very much part of every meal?

    When you first learned that you were an Immortal did you wish you could change your fate?

    Has there ever been a time in your life that you ever considered not hunting down vampires and just living a “normal” Immortal life?

    If you could choose any gift other than your own which would you choose?

    Did you ever think you’d get your HEA?

    If a vampire cure was found and all the vampires where cured and saved how would you spend the rest of your life?

    (For Seth, David and Roman)
    Has there been a historic event you witnessed in your lifetime that made an impact on your life? If so what was it and how did it effect you?

    Questions for Seconds/Network employee’s
    How did you react to finding out that vampires were very real?

    How did you get involved or come to the attention of the Network?

    Being gifted and knowing first hand what the Immortals go through every night would you choose to become one and join the cause?

    Questions for Chris Reordon
    How did you become the Head of the East Coast Division of the Network when you yourself is not a Gifted One?

    Of all the Gifted Ones around the world how do you decide who to bring into the Network and who just to keep tabs on?

    Is there a Mrs. Reordon or someone special in your life?

    ReplyDelete
  20. 1. This question is for Roland and Sebastian...Now that one of your friends are about to become parents do you feel your biological clocks ticking? Are you considering starting families of your own?

    2. This is for Seth...now that alot of your Guardians are finding their mates are you hoping to find yours now too? I would definitely be interested in being your mate.

    3. For all the mated pairs, how does in feel after all this time to find someone that completes you?

    I posted on Facebook twice, one on my page and one in my book club page.

  23. 1. To everyone: did you like the 60s or 80s best?
    2. Random theorie about the origin of the immortal guardians: could it be that you are descendants of angels?
    3. At Seth: how do you feel with all these mated couples around you? Do you want a mate for your own?
