Duel to the Death: Mila vs. The Hunter of Voramis

I, Kindra Sowder, challenge you, Andy Peloquin, to a duel to the Death! But it is not we who will fight, but our characters...


In the green corner, standing at 5'4", we have Mila, the 23-year-old telekinetic from my series The Permutation Archives!




Tale of the Tape:

TelekinesisCan sense energy in people with abilitiesIn the black corner, weighing in at 180 pounds, standing at a cool 6', the Hunter of Voramis from The Last Bucelarii series!


Tale of the Tape:Superhuman reflexes, strength, speedThousands of years or weapons trainingBody has accelerated healing factor (can survive a sword to the heart) -- can be killed by drowning, iron weapons, beheading, suffocationCannot be killed by anything but ironAccursed dagger that heals him when he killsNo magical abilitiesNo hesitation to kill if he perceives opponent as a threat/obstacle to his desires -- classic anti-heroTwo enter the ring, only one can leave alive!
How would Mila kill the Hunter? If she focuses on the atoms of an object (either inanimate or living) she can cause nuclear fission inside their bodies. This causes a chain reaction  much like the atom bomb, but only internally because of her telekinetic ability.
To kill Mila?  The Hunter would try to overwhelm her with his inhuman speed, strength, and skill. All he has to do is pierce her skin with Soulhunger, and the dagger will consume her soul. Not even someone with considerable magical abilities can survive Soulhunger's bite -- it was created to kill demons.
Who would win?
The Hunter's ability in total silence would allow him to sneak up on Mila. If he could catch her by surprise, he could put a dagger in her or snap her neck.
However, if she senses his presence, she could be able to cause the fission-like chain reaction in his body that could blow him to bits. Not even his demonic healing abilities could resurrect him from that.
Probably Winner: Mila! (Size and skill are not the only way to survive...)

"THE HARVESTED" OUT NOW!

SynopsisThere are only a few things Mila is afraid of Most are pretty common fears, but there is one that set her apart from others around her. The fear of a secret. With one drop of blood, her secret of a power beyond anything anyone had ever seen before is unleashed, landing her in a place where she is a prisoner. And an experiment. And there are only a few that know their dictator's ultimate goal. Some are willing to save her, others want to exploit her for their own dark and sinister intentions, and it is up to her to stop them before it's too late.

ANNOUNCEMENT!

As my followers on FaceBook know, I made a big announcement on Sunday having to do with the cover art for the last installment in the Executioner Trilogy as well as any future covers with Burning Willow Press, LLC. My cover artist and I have parted ways leaving me in an awful place not only as far as the cover art went, but personally. I am still hurt by it, but have decided to pick myself up by my bootstraps and move on as best as I can. After all, the industry is always changing, and all we can do is change with it.I was left scrambling to find someone else to fill her shoes. I found that person in the cover artist responsible for the covers of the Miss Hyde Novellas, Loraine van Tonder. She not only so graciously helped me with a new cover for this book, but has stepped in for Burning Willow Press, LLC as Graphic Design Manager. Lisa is no longer with us, which has left my heart heavy and breaking, but I have no doubt in my mind that Loraine will do a fantastic job.
I am even sitting here with new cover art in my hand two days after the split that I announced yesterday, and it has received high praise as did Lisa’s work. I know so many are wondering what happened to cause the split, but I am choosing to keep that to those directly involved. For now, all I can do is show all of you the new artwork and give a huge kudos to Loraine for jumping on this as quickly as she did for us. Here is the new cover and right after this I will let you all in on some things I am working on:
I am always working on new things no matter what is going on. Well, here is a small list of what I am currently working on because, believe me, you don’t want the full 588 items list.1.       Permutation Archives 1: The Harvested. This is a Dystopian/dark fantasy series that is currently being considered my publishing house Harper Voyager.2.       Hiding Behind Angel Eyes: The Rise. More info is coming on that soon.3.       Just Like Me: A Miss Hyde Novella Volume 34.       Super-secret project (wink) it’s definitely a secret.
Also, what some were waiting for, "Follow the Ashes: Book 1 of the Executioner Trilogy" is now available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes! Here is the purchase link: FTA ON AUDIBLE!
Stay tuned for more!

Cover Artist Tribute Part 2: Loraine Van Tonder

We all know the cover artists are extremely important, and I began my cover artist tribute with Lisa Vasquez. I have had the pleasure of working with two wonderful and extremely talented graphic artists when it comes to my work. Tonight I want to take a minute to talk to you guys about Loraine Van Tonder!

I was on the lookout for a fresh artist who I could help gain more exposure for their work. This is how I started the Cover Art Contest for the Miss Hyde Novellas. Loraine was amazing for submitting not just one, but four options for me to see. While the decision was tough I have to say it's one of the best decisions I have ever made. This is her work for me so far.
"Hello, My Name is...": A Miss Hyde Novella Volume 1 "Pain-Killer": A Miss Hyde Novella Volume 2
Below are some samples of her other works, including a piece of fan art for the Miss Hyde Novellas she has created!

Want to see more of her work? She can be found in two places!

EXECUTIONER GIVEAWAY!

Good evening, all! I have a little contest in mind for those who would like to win a little somthing, something. What do I have in mind? Vampire slayers, of course!


Now, you may be wondering exactly what I have in mind here when talking vampire slayers and a contest. Well, the rules are simple and your prize....AMAZING!

THE RULES:
1. Who is your favorite vampire slayer/hunter?
2. Comment on this blog post and you are automatically entered!

THE PRIZE:
Both...and yes I said BOTH "Follow the Ashes" and "Follow the Screams" eBooks!

THAT'S RIGHT!

You will receive both books 1 and 2 of the Executioner Trilogy just by participating!

This is not limited to the images I have included in this blog post, by any means. I cannot think of them all and I am sure there are others that I have not heard of yet.



Who's my favorite? I have quite a few which includes every single one that I have posted and will post here tonight. 

My absolute favorite though? I may be biased when I say Robin from my own series. Yes, I am extremely biased, but she also has another advantage that none above have. She has an inner beast.....and that beast can throw fire! And not just that, but I don't want to give everything away!
