Writerly Ways

[cornerofmadness]

In the midst of the lost story angst, and me accidentally reopening the door to my Buffy verse muse after nearly 12 years, I'm facing the release of my next novel, Blood Red Roulette!! We're one month from the day. Yikes

I am going to use a pro marketer this time and I need to come up with some blog posts. To that end, they suggested an interview with one of your characters. SOOOOO what would you ask an ancient Rome vampire now bumming around Las Vegas while trying to protect his new love interest from another vampire out to kill all his friends?

What would you ask the young displaced Cajun with a staunch Catholic upbringing struggling with his bisexuality and trying not to get killed by his homophobic father and brother?

I could use some help.

And now some links


All from Betty (because I haven't done in this in a couple weeks and I'm overflowing with links, too many for one post).
