Tantalizing Talks!
Victim #4: H.D. Gordon
Two "Tantalizing Talks" back-to-back, you say? YES! I'm a lucky girl. The uber-awesome H.D. Gordon agreed to take part in my experimental Q&A, giving us a deeper look into her bad-ass heroine in the Alexa Montgomery series.
I love that Gordon used the first line of her book as one of her favorite sentences (see Q&A below), because this is exactly what hooked me instantly. Right away, Gordon sets the tone for the novel, luring us into the ominous world she's created. Alexa's character is without a doubt one of my favorites in my collection of YA novels. She reminds me of Rose Hathaway in the Vampire Academy series with her no-nonsense attitude and pure fighter instinct. The fact that she's pretty hot and attracts quite a few dreamy guys into her circle doesn't hurt either. This brings me to the tall, dark, and wonderfully-brooding love-interest, Kayden. I simply adore the leading males who say very little with their mouths and a whole hell of a lot with their alluring looks and protective actions. And, the plot? Awesome! A new, fresh spin on the world of vampires. I like to avoid spoilers, but needless to say, this is a journey worth taking with surprises at every corner. Read on, paranormal friends, read on!
THE AUTHOR:
1.) Three adjectives to describe yourself?
Strange, reclusive, loyal
2.) Where you live and who lives with you?
On the east coast. Various family members.
3.) The best thing about where you live?
Family.
4.) The worst thing about where you live?
Hurricanes.
5.) Currently your favorite author and why?
Stephen King. I love his command of the language, the way he builds characters, etc.
6.) Quote by your favorite author of all-time?
“If you don’t have the time to read, you don’t have the tools to write.” –Stephen King
THE BOOK:
1) Name of main character and three adjectives to describe him/her?
Alexa Montgomery. Loyal, altruistic… homicidal.
2) If your main character could be any animal, what would he/she be? Why?
Hmm, that’s a hard one… a Mama Lion, maybe? She is a formidable
fighter, but also very protective of those that she loves.
3) Name of villain or antagonist in your story and three verbs todescribe him/her?
That would be the King… selfish, murderous, power-hungry.
4) Describe the main plot of your story in one sentence.
A young girl who finds out that she has a very unique and dangerous spot in a world that she never knew existed.
5) The best theme of your story?
The right thing to do is often the hardest thing to do.
6) One of your favorite sentences in your book?
The first sentence in Blood Warrior: “It wasn’t dead when I found it.”
7) One thing you’d like readers to know about the world you created or the characters in them?
I created it for me. It is a blessing that some other people seem to like it as well, but originally I wrote it because I needed an escape.
I did not predict that people would react so well to it, and I thank the stars for the fans who have supported me thus far. I never truly believed that I would get to tell stories for a living, and the wonderful readers have made that possible. In return, I will keep working hard to give them stories, but I can only write what I must. Hopefully, they will be willing to watch me grow in my craft.
Thank you so much for having me!
