Villain Interview with Moho--Author Tara Fairfield



Ka Moho Ali’i


Tell us a little bit about yourself. What motivates you?
I was born to rule the seas, and the time will come when a crown sits on my head causing everyone in Moku-ola to recognize my power. Tessa, our recently crowned queen, will choose me as her king, or suffer the consequences, and if my brother interferes, he will find out once and for all the true extent of my abilities. I live to fulfill my destiny.


Who are your heroes?
No greater predators exist than my sharks and the greatest of them all is Nikko, my closest ally and friend. Strong, ruthless, dominant, he exudes the qualities of a triumphant hero. 

What is your favorite food?
Squid, it’s speed make it a worthy prey.

How old are you?
A ruler is timeless and never reveals his true age.

What is your greatest strength?
My control over all sharks living in the ocean will always be my greatest strength.  We exist as one and none can refuse my call, bound to serve and follow my every command.  They share my desires, goals and emotions, my sharks are more than servants, they are my true family. What greater strength could a king have than the most ruthless predators in the ocean at his command?


Do you have a weakness?
No. Why would you even ask me such a thing? Do you doubt my power?

Star Wars or Star Trek?
Huh? I care nothing for what happens above the surface. I didn’t realize you were a surface dweller….this interview is over.

Villain Interview with Julian McNabb--Author Maren Dille

Julian McNabb

Tell us a little bit about yourself. What motivates you? 
I run the most successful haunted cemetery in Georgia. We ghosts take scaring humans very seriously. It’s a real moneymaker in Deadworld. I’m motivated by ambition, my need to succeed. That guy across the street, the one who died in the fifties? He’ll never get his cemetery’s ticket sales profitable like mine. He’s got a softspot for real losers.

Who are your heroes? 
I would’ve said Attila the Hun, that was until I met him. That man’s a real creeper. Now? Jesse James.

What is your favorite food? 
Oh, that I could eat. It’s one of the things I hate about being a ghost.

How old are you? 
 Come, ladies, it’s the 1920’s. A young man doesn’t disclose that kind of information.

What is your greatest strength? 
My intelligence—no, my handsomeness—no, my craftiness. Ah, I don’t know. A tie, perhaps, between how smart I am to use my good looks the way I do?

  Do you have a weakness?  
(loud laughter). Next question?
 
Star Wars or Star Trek?
Are those Jules Verne’s novels?

Villian Interview with Mark Campbell "Master"--Author Patricia Lynne

Mark Campbell "Master"

Tell us a little bit about yourself. What motivates you? 
What is there to know? My mother shipped me off to one boarding school after another in an attempt to keep me away from my father. She never liked him, and even at a young age, I knew the marriage was all about image. Whatever. She had no passion like Father. He taught me everything I know. Told me that great men don’t let fate guide them. They grab fate by the throat and make it deliver their destiny. That’s what I’m doing. I will not sit idly by and let the world mold me. I will mold it and everything I want will be mine.

Who are your heroes? 
My father. He was a great man. A brilliant scientist capable of changing the world if not for his untimely death.


What is your favorite food? 
Caviar. Mother forced it upon me when I was a child, but it grew on me.

How old are you? 

Why does my age matter? Age is but a number. It’s knowledge that matters the most.

What is your greatest strength? 

My intelligence and cunning. The average person underestimates the importance of both.

Do you have a weakness? 

No. *Glares*

Star Wars or Star Trek?
*Lip curls* Star Trek, of course.

Villain Interivew with Tamlin--Author Eileen Sharp

Tamlin

Tell us a little bit about yourself. What motivates you? 
 I knew before anyone else that the Unspeller would destroy magic. If I do not defend magic, then Tuatha will lose all its power. Who would want that? You should join my cause. 

Who are your heroes? 
 Anyone who cares about magic. 

What is your favorite food?
  Licorice. It’s very tasty. 

How old are you? 
 About 90 years. 

What is your greatest strength? 
 I can see the future. 

Do you have a weakness? 
 I am blind. 

Star Wars or Star Trek?
  Who?

Blogger Book Fair July 2013!

So in case you were wondering what this book fair is all about, here's the Blogger Book Fair explained: Just think back to elementary school when you would walk into your classroom, and your teacher would announce that glorious statement to tingle the senses of book worm spawn everywhere:


"After lunch, we will be skipping our math lesson to visit the book fair!"

And your little nerd brain just starts to explode with joy!! Because then you would get to go with your classmates and that envelope of money your mom sent with you, and you can spend a whole hour just looking at books. 

And each table would be something different. Most of them were books, of course, but some of the tables had games, toys, and sometimes candy. And every once in a blue moon, if you were really lucky, an author of one of those books would be there to sign books and answer questions.

Okay, so get that hyped up feeling from your childhood and just magnify it. Why? Because you get to do THAT wherever you are, on your computer! All next week!! In your PJ's, at work (ignoring that report you need to file), on your lunch break, after dinner, hiding in the bathroom because your kids are screaming...wherever. The books and authors are all right here from the 22nd to the 26th so you can take a good look.

Hint #1

I'm sitting here, editing Poltarion for your viewing pleasure, and I'm thinking, "You know what I would have LOVED from all my favorite series? Hints! Before they came out, some tantalizing looks into the plot would have been legit!"

So I'm going to do that. Poltarion should be released sometime this year (dependent on how long the editing process takes, as well as talks with my publisher), so I'll let everyone wonder in the meantime. Fun, right??

Okay, so here's your first clue:


Oooh! Mysterious! I'll give more clues...say, every step closer I get to publishing. Happy reading to you all!

I EMERGE!!!

With two weeks left in my school semester, I'm emerging from isolation. It's time to get back into the author world! So hello readers. :)

I've got some great stuff coming up. In about two weeks, on July 22nd, I will be doing the blogger book fair again! What can you look forward to with that?

First of all free books. That's right! I'll be giving away two more copies of Lunula for you to read. All you have to do is visit my page and enter the rafflecopter box I will have off to the right there.

Secondly, I will be teaming up with some fantastic authors. But I won't be interviewing them. Introducing...

The Villain Interview!

We'll be getting to know the author's villain in their books, so you can get an idea of who you'll be "up against" if you decide to pick up their book. Fun, right?? 

And if that wasn't enough, I'm knee-deep in editing Poltarion, the sequel to Lunula. Huzzah! So for those of you where were angry at me for leaving it at a cliff-hanger, you won't have much longer to wait. 

Thanks for being my readers, friends, and fellow authors!! And stay tuned for all this great stuff.
