Sybilla - Character Interview

I should have been the heroine of Amber’s book The Shapeshifters’ Library because I’m way more interesting than that librarian Liberty Cutter. I would have taken over the book except for my husband Harry. Don’t get me started about Harry, but marrying him was not one of my better decisions. His shaggy innocent good looks were so different from the slick confident werewolves prowling around the law school campus. I was rebelling and his half-breed persona caught in a moment of rebellion.
When his father gave him the opportunity to move to Ohio, run a bank, and wait for the ancient pack Alpha to croak, it seemed like a first step in moving on to bigger things. I’m ambitious. Settle for being a small-town banker’s wife? I don’t think so.
Amber is telling me I shouldn’t give away that happens in Book Two. She’s calling that one Retrieved . Cute. Like puppy dogs chasing books. I'd will tell you a couple of really good things happen to me in that book and I get to shine.
Anyway, if Amber had wanted a heroine with a little sex appeal to heat up her books, she should have given me more pages. But what can I say, she’s the author. I get to be one of the villains, which suits me. I’m one of the most important characters and got my own POV, which is cool because without my viewpoint you’d think books and libraries are wonderful and worth saving.
I wear sexy clothes and own a trendy bistro which serves the best food you’ve ever eaten. Forget the stale donuts in the library’s staff room, my French chef’s flaming deserts are to die for.
Harry is Beta Male to Elsie Dustbunnie (and you thought my name was dumb). She’s retired from the public library but still runs the pack. I do give her credit for burning down the old library, but when the librarians moved into the old dog-shifters’ building we had to figure out how to put them out of business and kill all the dog-shifters still in the basement. The old bag needs a new hip and a quick trip to the old wolves’ home, but she thinks Harry with lose the town to the dog-shifters, if she turned her tail for a minute. She’s right. Harry would flub the whole thing. But she won’t let me have a go at running the Pack because she’s so jealous of my youth and beauty.
I try to get Harry to be a man – or a wolf – but his dog blood makes him wishy washy. I’ll admit when old Harry is in wolf form he still can light my fire, but the rest of the time – if I were a reader and I’m NOT – I’d rather curl up with a good book.
I do my best to destroy every book I find. I love the rituals where we run around in the woods on four feet and toss books onto bonfires.
