Character Interview: Megan Bartlow From Shattered Secrets by Krystal Wade
A few days ago I showed you the new covers to Krystal Wade's Wilde Trilogy. Today I have her talking about her new release, Shattered Secrets, and interviewing one of the characters for you.
Krystal: So, Megan, what’s it like to be friends with someone as long as you have and then find out she’s not even human?
Megan, folding her hands in her lap and glancing down: It’s very sad. The whole thing. Can we talk about something else?
Krystal: Well, your best friend is kind of the point of this interview. Why is it sad? Don’t you think it’s kind of cool what Abby can do?
Megan: Cool? Yes. Absolutely. She’s incredible, as are all the people—excuse me, WHATEVERs—around her. But Abby has been through a lot. She’s lost a lot. And I can’t seem to stop worrying about her.
Krystal: But it’s over now. Everyone is finding their place in a new, safe environment. In the place they’re supposed to be. Are you having issues moving on? Is this because of everything you’ve left behind?
Megan: Maybe.
Krystal: Do you miss your parents?
Megan huffs: I miss the idea of my parents, but I’d never want to go back to them. And that’s just the problem. I don’t belong with my best friend anymore, or her “new, safe environment”. What if I mess up? What if they kick me out of the cool human emotion influencing club?
Krystal: I never thought of it that way. That’s a lot to take in. I doubt they’d force you out, though. Someone in charge has to know how neglected you were.
Megan: Sure they do. But what if they think I’m a threat to Abby or her safety? They keep her on lockdown pretty much. If anything happens to her before she ever has kids? Well, I’d hate to think of what they’d do to me.
Krystal: Wow, so, umm, that was fairly heavy, Megan. And here I thought this interview would be fun. You’re normally so bubbly.
Megan: You try going through all this crap. Tell me how bubbly you are!
Krystal: Fair point. I guess people will have to read Shattered Secrets to see what put you in such a bad mood. Umm, I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers, okay?
Megan: Whatever helps you sleep at night.
And we’re out. I think Megan might need some Xanax. Or some sort of vacation. What do you think?
After being kidnapped, hogtied, and stuffed in the trunk of a car, seventeen-year-old Abigail Nichols' boy problems seem unimportant.
She couldn't be more wrong.
The boy who saves her holds her heart. But Derick Crawford also holds secrets.
Magical beings who guide human emotions are fighting an invisible war dating back to the dawn of time, and Abigail's one of them. The more she learns of her heritage, the less she wants to know. Armed with a very old, very massive book to teach them about their history, Abigail and Derick run away to a place where they think they can be safe and happy, only to have their troubles secretly hitch a ride.
Her history book is in a sharing mood, and it tells her to keep a secret of her own. But has she put her trust in the wrong place? And will the world survive if she has?

Krystal Wade is happily married to the love of her life (don’t gag) and raising three beautiful children in the gorgeous state of Virginia. They live just outside Washington, D.C., and every day she wakes up to find herself stuck in traffic trying to get there.
The horrid commute gives Krystal plenty of time to zone out and think about her characters in full, brilliant details (she’s a safe driver; don’t worry). Stories give her a way to forget about the sometimes smelly strangers sitting next to her on the fifty mile trek into town (she picks up hitchhikers every day. True story. Check out www.slug-lines.com if you don’t believe this).
Krystal has been a part of organized hitchhiking for nearly fifteen years, but that’s just one small aspect of her oh-so-large life. When she’s not working, commuting, or chasing after her three children (four if you count the man), you can usually find Krystal outside talking to her chickens like they’re the cutest things in the world (they are), or training her amazing dogs how to herd said chickens (which they love), or curled up on the sofa with a good book (why can’t that be 100% of the time?).
