#PennedPossibilities 936 — Tell us about something that disgusts your MC.

Mortals AKA humans without a set of morals. Vampires without morals. Werewolves without morals. You get the gist. Alistair is easy to pin. That, and the oppression of women. He talks about it a lot throughout the story. Everyone needs a set of principles that include fairness, respect, empathy, responsibility, and honesty. They need beliefs and standards that guide their behavior by distinguishing right from wrong. We know it’s often influenced by culture, religion, and upbringing, but it’s still a sense of right and wrong. Those who don’t have that capacity and couldn’t care less (like Duncan) will never be among those who *deserve* to live, survive, and thrive.

#PennedPossibilities 925 — Would your characters enjoy camping? Why or why not?

Some of them would. Others not so much.

Alistair has slept in far worse places than a tent. That would be no problem for him. Also, he enjoys the outdoors. Fenella would say “f*ck that” right off the bat. Hati and Sam would probably enjoy it as well. Hati is down to try anything. She’s spontaneous that way. Caden, however, is the one I’m not so sure about. I’m leaning towards no. He would probably hate it and miss his flat (and art business).

#PennedPossibilities 926 — Do your characters play any sports, or did they play any in the past?

Alistair is the only one. But to say what he played and what the time period was (when he played the sport) would give away a major spoiler. None of the others have or do.

#PennedPossibilities 927 — Is your MC proud of who they are? Why or why not?

Alistair has never been proud of who he is, or what sort of creature he is. I will add, however, that Fenella *is* proud of him, as is Hati as well. While he views himself as a villain, they never have. He’s a hero (but an imperfect one) to them in many ways.

#PennedPossibilities 928 — Tell us a bit about your story (or stories), style, writing process, research, or what you enjoy writing. You can talk about anything related to being an author tonight.

I’ve rambled enough about my writing style and how the writing process goes for me. I’ll talk about what I write for a change. I’m a romance author. I love Romantic Fantasy AKA Romantasy, Dark Romance, Gothic and/or Paranormal Romance, etc. I adore writing all of it, and I’ve dabbled in a lot of genres for my tales. I enjoy delving into original universes for: Sword and Sorcery AKA Heroic Fantasy, Fantasy, SFF, Historical, Horror, Science Fiction, Cyberpunk, HopePunk, Mysteries, and Cozy Fantasy, just to list off a handful of genres. I’ve written (and read, of course) a little bit of everything over the years. I’m a weaver of weird and wonderful tales.

Let’s talk about writing romance for a bit. For me, romance drives the plot in tandem with what’s happening within the universe, and when romantic tension—the “push and pull” of attraction and conflict—directly causes, complicates, or resolves the main storyline’s external events, that’s definitely my bread and butter. Rather than a side story or a subplot, the relationships act as the catalyst for character decisions, raising stakes, and forcing actions that move the narrative forward.

#PennedPossibilities 929 — What is your MC’s country or place of origin, and where do they currently live?

For reasons that will become obvious later, I’ll answer this one about Fenella. She’s from Moray, Scotland. It’s where she was born, lived, died, and became bloodbound AKA became a vampire. She traveled the world for about seven years, after she and Alistair decided to end their love affair, and now she’s back again. She missed it dearly as well. And him, of course.

#PennedPossibilities 930 — Would your SC risk their own life to save a stranger?

(I was far too tired after my endoscopy to post a prompt last night. Here we go!)

Hati probably would. She *cares* about the mortals. Samuel might be more careful about things, just so he won’t give away who and *what* he is. Caden probably wouldn’t care. (Unless he had the occasional whim to save someone.)
