The Authors’ Oracle Questionnaire: The Chariot

VII. The Chariot: Tell us about the first “darling” you ever “killed”.

The first darling I ever killed outside of fanfiction was a character named Coah in a paranormal romance YA fantasy esque… thing. And he didn’t die in the original draft. He survived. Then in round two, I thought, nahhh he’s awesome, so let’s really stick it to the reader by killing him. He ended up falling into a pit in the forest, a trap, and was impaled on some grotesque spikes. Grisly.

Outside of original works, I definitely killed a main character in a fanfiction piece I wrote a loooong time ago. Fanfiction was where I got my start, and I had a wildly popular story about Draco Malfoy dating a Muggleborn girl (maybe?). No. Noooooooo she might have been Voldemort’s daughter? Fuck it. Who remembers. But anyway, people were in love with the story, and in the end, ol’ Voldie murders her and people lost. their shit.

And I loved it. #readertears

The Authors’ Oracle Questionnaire: The Lovers

VI. The Lovers: Which of your characters follow their heart? Is it for the right reasons?

I think the most obvious of all my characters is Aphrodite. Goddess of love, of course she follows her heart. I think working with Loki has started to make her a little more calculating by book 3 of the serial, but she’s still someone who goes with her heart and with her gut.

Aside from her, Claude Grimm, the second half of my romantic pair in The Fool (2015), The King (2016), and The Queen (2017). He sets his sights on Delia Roberts, and the guy follows through time and time again. His heart knows what it wants, even if his lady is wrapped up in her head. Claude absolutely feels and empathizes, perhaps a little too much. He’s my adorable, feelsy bby. A total Hufflepuff.

Both of them follow their hearts, and for Aphrodite it works. You know, being a goddess kind of means things work out for you in the end. Claude, on the other hand, is a lover and not a fighter, and given the vamptastic world he lives in, that isn’t always a good thing.
