Characters Comment on the Upcoming Book Release

Fire Within (Guardian Witch #2) releases tomorrow!

I wanted to know my characters' reaction to the new release, so I stopped by the Olde Town annex of the Riverdale Police Dept. I caught my fire witch cop Ari and her human partner, Lt. Ryan Foster, on their way down the front steps.

Ally: "Where are you headed?"

Ryan: "New case. And we're in a hurry."

Ally: "Can I get a few quick comments on the new book?" I keep step with them as the hurry toward Ryan's cruiser.

Ari: "Did you have to tell them all that stuff about the legend?"

Ally: "It is an important part of the story."

Ari: "Wasn't murder enough?" She gives me an impatient look.

Ally: "Your private life gives the story more depth. I've told you that before."

Ryan: "Well, you could have made my part a little bigger. How come I'm always the sidekick?" But he's grinning when he says it, and I know he doesn't like publicity anymore than Ari does.

Ari stops and gives me a direct look: "I guess it could have been worse, but I worry about what you'll reveal the next time."

She turns away; they jump in the police car and are gone.

Looking after them, I grin. Wouldn't they be surprised to know what their future holds...
