Mia: What is the name of the book where we’ll find you? Can you tell us a little about it?
Wolfryth : I’m the main villain character of RETURN TO CAER LON, by Claude Dancourt. Some might tell you it’s the story of the Pendragons’s return to power, King Arthur’s heir rise, etcetera, but they delude themselves. I found the lost City and I will master its secrets. Its magic is mine.
Mia: Tell us a little about yourself. Where do you fit into the story? What should we know about you?
Wolfryth : Where do I fit into the story? Where do I fit into the story? *growling loud* Do I have to spell everything out for you? I AM the story. I am the greatest sorcerer alive. I control three of the four elements, no one did for centuries! I don’t use Earth that often, it’s too… simple. Fire suites my needs better. People fear Fire. They bend the knee before the smallest flame. So pitiful. But Air… Air is interesting. Air is related to matters of the mind, dreams or shall I say, nightmares… Nightmares are excellent motives, don’t you think? Just ask that seer what she would do not to see her nightmares becoming real…
Mia: What do you think of the author? Be honest. We won’t tell.
Wolfryth : she did me justice, I suppose. At least she didn’t try to present me as some “there’s still good in him” puppet. Regrets are for the weak, and the powerless. *flexing fingers, her eyes glazing for a moment before focusing back* Her storytelling is well balance, but she should have focused more on my character.
Mia: How do you feel about the story you’re in?
Wolfryth : Feelings? Who cares about feelings? I have thoughts. And my thoughts are that this is a very good story, since I am in it.
Mia: Do you like being a character in the book?
Wolfryth : you are testing my patience. Don’t make me repeat myself again or you could regret it. I am not a character in the book. I AM the book.
Mia: How do you see your future? Without giving anything away about the story, naturally.
Wolfryth : The future will bend to my will. I will have the blood of the son of the Dragon, unleash the power of the City. I’ll be immortal. *rising an eyebrow* You don’t think that princeling can resist me do you? His father tried *brushing the scar on his face with his pointer finger*. He didn’t last long.
Mia: What do you know about your author’s plans? Can we expect to see you in any future stories?
Wolfryth : I don’t care about her plans. She will do as I say. She always kneels before her characters. A bit more resistance would be more… entertaining. *yawning* I’m bored. Are we done with idle questions?
Mia: Let’s say they make a movie about this book. Who do you want to play you, and why?
Wolfryth : I don’t see any in that Holy Wood of yours who is worth to play me. You need someone with presence, strong, someone who scorches the silver screen. A Marlon Brando, a Richard Burton. They’re dead? So? I soon will be invincible. If I want one of them to play me, he will.

Author Bio: There are bookworms and Bookworms. Claude Dancourt is of the second species. Last winter, she decided to (finally) bring some order into the chaos her apartment is and she realized that it would mostly consist in piling all her books in only one room.
Claude lives near Montreal in Quebec, Canada, with a stubborn cat who prefers to go out when it rains, two plants, an eclectic CDs collection and an even more random choice of DVDs. She collects quotes, drinks Ceylan tea, and tries to appease her restless muses.
