Janina Carol (J.C.) Seal
I’m from Germany, from the beautiful Black Forest area. I live in a small townhouse with my loving husband, my wonderful teenage daughter and my eighteen years old tomcat. To pay my bills, I work part time as a lab technician in cancer research. I only started writing in October 2018, but loved to read all my life. Maybe you wonder, why does someone from Germany write in English? I still remember the first English book I ever read. Staying in the USA as an exchange student when I was sixteen, I picked a random book at a public library, ending up with “Dragonsong” by Anne McCaffrey. It was the beginning of my passion for stories reaching beyond the confines of the mortal human world, and also the beginning of my love ...more

I can so relate to your German/English language preference. I feel the same. You've written three amazing books now and I would love to know what your favourite scene is out of each of your books?

I will try and give you a glimpse without giving away too much.

FALLEN ANGELS: The words she spat at me in anger hurt more than the worst death I could remember. My heart missed several beats. It turned into a burning lump of coal in my chest. My wings sputtered, fading out. I doubled over in pain. I sank to the floor, gasping for breath. I didn’t catch her next words, because all I could hear was my own blood singing in my ears, the labored beating of my heart, the rasping of my lungs. So, this was the downside of love.

ANGELS DESCENDANTS: My heart clenched at the mention of her name. The pain must have mirrored on my face, because he stated quietly,
“You really do love her.”
“I do! Either way though, I will lose her,” I whispered with a throat suddenly closed. “Even if she chose to stay by my side, she would grow old to die one day. If she is turned, I might lose her soul to Lucifer. I won’t give up, maybe, there is another way. I can see none so far.”

ANGELS NEMESIS: I couldn’t stifle the sharp intake of breath rushing through my clenched teeth. An Archangel had just given me the order to find a way to kill my father. He had made it a command, the implication slowly becoming clear in my mind. I couldn’t refuse. I had known that Archangels were more powerful than regular True Angels. Now, I knew the difference. His command had shackled me in invisible chains. My silent wail of refusal was stopped by an impenetrable wall, Gabriel had blocked me out.
A single tear dropped from my nose to the dust beneath the horse’s hooves, my heart clenched in despair. It made me realize I had never given up on Lucifer after all.(less) (hide spoiler)]

I can stare at the wall behind my monitor, seeing scenes inside my head play out, ready to get written down. It’s the time when I achieve that dreaming-but-still-awake state of mind the easiest. Other than that, I try to write whenever possible. (less)

Book Collaboration - or: How to Heard Cats

My Dear Blog Readers.
You might have wondered why you didn't hear from me for a whole month?
The explanation is simple - I was busy. Very, very busy.

I joined a Book collaboration with the aim to write a chapter or two, to be published in a free book. I didn't know what to expect, or what it would be all about.

IT WAS AWESOME!!!

31 authors, working together to write a book that will blow your mind.

Quotes by J.C. Seal

“I’m just myself, writing my own things in my own world. If originality doesn’t sell, so be it. Changing my style or my view on things to accommodate wishes, to be more mainstream and sell more books is not the reason I write. I write because I love it, because the story comes from my heart and soul.”
― J.C. Seal

“I guess the weirdest thing is that I write in English. Then I turn into my pen-name alter ego, while in the back of my mind my German half sits back, watches, evaluates and occasionally comments on what I’m doing.”
― J.C. Seal

“My characters have a life of their own, they write their stories. I’m just the fingers typing the words, the guiding hand occasionally telling them that what they are doing is bullshit, and the brain to keep the timeline and story straight.”

J.C.’s Quotes

“What’s the best character to use in writing? It’s all a question of perspective. The setting, as well as the interpretation of the character itself, is more important than the kind of character used. Human, Monster or whatever - it’s just an empty husk before the author brings it to life.”
