Carly Jordynn
Today we have the pleasure to interview of one of the main character from Carly Jordynn’s new release. The book is Forest of the Mist: Awakening. This is book two in the Forest of the Mist series and scheduled to come out August 5th from Soul Mate Publishing. We hope you enjoy this glimpse into Awakening through the eyes of Jennifer Burke Kyle McGuire.
You’ve been in a coma for quite awhile now, how did you feel when you first woke up?
Angry. I had been in a semi-conscious state for a while before fully waking. When I did, it was to find Lilith and her ex-boyrfriend, Alex, plotting to keep the little kiss they shared a secret from Connor and me.
Rumor has it you married and had a child while in the coma. Could you explain how that happened?
I won’t give you all the details . . . a girl has to have some secrets. I married David Kyle while in the alternate realm of Paradise Valley. This is a place where coma patients who are near death and alone in reality, find others like themselves. We became a family. David and I fell in love and decided to marry. We didn’t know if either of us would ever wake from our comas so we decided to grab whatever happiness we could. After our marriage, I became pregnant with Davy.
Did you and your husband wake at the same time?
No, sadly David was killed before he woke. We had a fight in the Dark Land, the alternate realm for the “not so nice” people who were in comas. It’s all good though, because David came back as the Host of Paradise Valley.
Will you see him again?
No, David, in his questionable wisdom, decided I should marry somebody else and have that man raise our son as his own.
Is that why you woke up angry?
Heck yes, I woke up angry. The misfit my darling husband expected me to marry was the cheating jerk, Alex McGuire! I listened to him and Lilith discussing this kiss they shared on their way to see me. Did I mention Lilith is engaged to Connor? Did I also mention that Alex is a total stranger to me? Yeah, angry doesn’t begin to cover what I felt.
If Alex was supposed to marry you, and Lilith is supposed to marry Connor, why were they kissing?
I asked Alex that same question when we were alone. Lilith and Alex are still close. They have loved each other in some form or fashion since they were children. They said they needed closure. I know Lilith loves Connor . . . they were married in Paradise Valley too. I was her Matron of Honor for pete’s sake. I hope they have all that nonsense behind them now.
What happened to Davy, your son with your husband, David?
Davy is a piece of work. He is the only person to be conceived and born to parents who were in comas. We discovered he runs on accelerated time, just like Paradise Valley does. One month is reality equals a year in Paradise. Davy can create portals, enter both alternate realms at will, and can read minds when he is near a portal or in the alternates.
Davy came back to reality when Alex was kidnapped through a portal to Paradise Valley. The kicker is Davy should be a toddler, but through all the crazy growth spurts, is about the size and intelligence of a sixteen year old. I missed my son’s childhood.
So tell us, are you going to marry Alex since David wanted you to?
I suppose I will. Davy really likes him. He’s really bent over backwards to help me and my family. Oh, and there is that whole thing about goading him into a heart attack . . . not to mention being chased around by those Agents of PRI. Yeah, that is a scary bunch of dudes.
It sounds like you have had quite the adventure. Are you happy?
Surprisingly, yes. Now that I have gotten to know Alex and accepted the fact that my “baby” is no longer a baby, I am starting to live again. We moved to Ireland to escape the PRI Agents. We have two new friends, Shannon and Keegan. I think we may stay here awhile.
Well, best of luck to you, Jennifer. Is there anything else you would like to add?
*snickers* Make sure you ask Alex about the night at Mrs. Green’s B&B in Dublin. He loves reliving that memorable moment. That’s all I’m going to say about it. *snickers again*
We will have to see if we can get Alex to stop by in the near future and ask that question plus a few more. This Paradise Valley sounds interesting for those of us who haven’t visited. To learn a little more about the book and author keep reading.
Blurb for Awakening
ALEX McGUIRE never dreamed his life would take such a turn. His plan to complete college, become a lawyer, and marry his girlfriend, LILY LAVERY, tanked following his kidnapping to the alternate realm known as Paradise Valley. Now Alex has been ordered by a dead man, DAVID KYLE, to marry his young wife, JENNIFER BURKE KYLE, and raise their infant son, DAVY KYLE, as his own. That would be a great plan if it weren’t for the fact that Jennifer is still in a coma, has never met him, and her son has some strange attributes too.
JENNIFER BURKE KYLE woke from the coma to the realization that she was a widow and the mother of a young son who could read minds, create portals to an alternate realm, and have unforeseen growth spurts when he is in or near Paradise Valley. As if that wasn’t enough, a complete stranger has stated he is to marry her and raise her son as his own. All on the order of her dead husband, David.
DAVY KYLE was tickled pink that Alex McGuire would be his Dad and couldn’t wait for his mother to wake from the coma so the wedding could take place. What Davy didn’t see, was the trouble in the form of PRI, otherwise known as the Percival Research Institute. PRI agents were after his family and it was going to be up to Davy to hide them all until it was safe.
Together, Alex, Jennifer, Davy, and their friends from Paradise Valley, must join together to keep the family safe, destroy PRI, and protect the still comatose COLIN O’BRIEN, the last member of their Paradise Valley family. With the help of student nurse, DEANA COOK, they may just succeed in their plan and find happiness along the way.
