Please excuse me for a sec while I squee excitedly at that gorgeous cover…
Okay, now that that’s out of the way… I hear some of you in the comments saying “Who in the heck is H.L. Burke??” Well, let me tell you…

Today we have a very special guest.
Tell us a little about yourself. What is your name and age, and
what do you do for a living?
Sir Devin Carlton. I’m twenty-four, and planning to stay this age. It suits me. I’m a knight by title. I have some family money, so I don’t really do it for a living, but I prefer it to sitting on my family estate, reviewing farming reports.
Where do you live? Recommend us something to do if we were to visit there.
I move around a lot. I guess technically my family estate is home base, but I haven’t been there in a few years, so it’s wherever the roads take me … I’d recommend some good inns, but I owe the best ones too much money, and if the innkeepers knew I sent you, they probably wouldn’t let you in.
Tell us about a specialty food of your hometown.
The cook at my family estate makes the best meat pies … local ale’s not bad either.
What is your opinion of the queen?
She reminds me of the pretty, vain, wealthy/titled women who flit about human courts, except with the ability to turn men into frogs and order people to face certain death … power goes to the heads of certain types.
Do you speak any languages aside from English? If so, what is a word in that language that can’t be translated into English without losing meaning?
Not really. I bluffed my way through Latin class by repeating whatever the student reciting before me said … I wasn’t my teacher’s favorite.
Tell us about a typical day in your life.
I despise nothing more than “typical.” If something is typical, it’s boring. Every day in a different place. Every night in a different bed, that’s my ideal.
Are you currently in love with anyone? Tell us about that special person.
