Welcome to another installment of Talking Tuesday!
Every Tuesday, I’ll either be answering questions myself, or posing questions to one of my characters from my paranormal romance books. All of these questions are submitted to me by my awesome readers at my Fang Club, a Facebook Group where I chat with my readers. Asking questions is exclusive to members of my Fang Club, so if you want to get in on the action, you’ll have to join the group.
This week, I had the task of posing questions to Bleu, the gruff, somewhat grumpy, but very devoted and loyal commander of the elf legions and aide to Prince Loren in my Eternal Mates Series. You can read Bleu’s romance in Possessed by a Dark Warrior, which now has the audio edition available!
Talking Tuesday with Bleu
Felicity: Welcome Bleu. I really hope you’re in a good mood today.
Bleu: *glowers*
Felicity: I was teasing. You always take things too seriously. Thanks for taking time out of your schedule to come and answer some questions from my readers.
Bleu: Prince Loren said I had to do it.
Felicity: Don’t pretend you don’t like the ego petting. You love it. *grins*
Bleu: Get on with it then.
Felicity: *huffs* I don’t know what they see in you. Personally I prefer Vail. *weathers a growl* Whatever. I love him.
Bleu: I wouldn’t let Rosalind hear you say that.
Felicity: Let’s just keep it between you and me then. I have a question from a reader about Vail actually. Let me see… Diana Dimitrova wants to know if you think you will find the strength to forgive Vail and will start clean with him?
Bleu: *sighs* I have forgiven Vail, but I’m not sure a clean start is possible. Neither of us can forget the things that happened, or the battles we fought against each other. But, we are trying to move past our history, and move forwards.
Felicity: Very noble of you. I know it has been difficult for you. Kirsty Hatto really wants to know whether the rivalry between you and Thorne has finally calmed down now you have your own leading lady?
Bleu: *grimaces* I knew someone would bring that up. I should have asked to vet the questions before we began. *sighs again* A little. Thorne still doesn’t trust me, but I suppose that is to be expected.
Felicity: You were a bit of an arse to him.
Bleu: *glares* As if I need the reminder? Still, like all damned relationships in my life, we are moving past our bad blood. I think one day he will be able to be in the same room as me and Sable and not want to rip my spine out.
Felicity: Nice imagery. Thanks for that. Speaking of leading ladies, Mandy Webb asked how Taryn deals with your relationship with Sable?
Bleu: She wants to rip Sable’s spine out. I’m joking. I can joke too. Taryn is a little… possessive… and the two did come to blows once, but me and Thorne broke them up. It was a refreshing change, and I think it helped me and Thorne take that first step on the road to growing to like each other. We bonded over our females fighting. It really was a glorious sight.
Felicity: So you’re into cat fights. Got it. Perverts.
Bleu: *scowls*
Felicity: Natalie Muir had a few questions, and one is about Taryn meeting the other people in your life. Has she met Iolanthe yet?
Bleu: Of course. Io loves her. Io loves any female who kicks arse and even tried to get her to offer up some blood so she could have a go at being a dragon. The two of them get along a little too well. I don’t think it will be long before Io’s talk of ‘treasure’ lures Taryn off on some wild goose chase with her.
Felicity: Well, you and Kyter can go save them. You know you miss getting your sister out of scrapes. Natalie also wanted to know whether you secretly – or not so secretly! – like having Kyter as a brother-in-law?
Bleu: *leans back in chair* I guess… it’s alright. He’s a good male, and we get along, although I can find his sense of humour trying… and don’t get me started on the ruckus he caused when he met my parents.
Felicity: I want to get you started on that. It sounds interesting.
Bleu: *pretends to lock his lips together and throw away the key* Io would kill me for mentioning it. I’ll just say they should have locked the door as I locked my lips.
Felicity: Sounds saucy. Final question from Natalie… did you always want to serve in the elf army or did you have something else you would have liked to have pursued?
Bleu: Always wanted to serve. It was serve, or farm, and I was never cut out for a quiet life farming. I’d watch the soldiers passing through the village and long to go where they were heading, wanting adventure.
Felicity: You certainly got it, landing a job as aide to your prince. Chantal Robson had a question about Loren. Do you think it’s about time he became a king?
Bleu: No. It will never happen. Loren vowed to share the kingdom with Vail, ruling it as two princes, and he will stick to that. The kingdom is used to it now, and I think ruling as a prince gives Loren hope that maybe one day Vail can come and take his place at his side again. One day.
Felicity: When the council are all dead and buried. *grins* Final question comes from Julie Walsh who wants to know your opinion about Archangel being in your part of the world and whether you’re worried they’ll kidnap Taryn and take her to the mortal realm?
Bleu: *scowls* As if they would dare. Neither myself, nor my prince, like the turn the hunter organisation has taken, and we are keeping a close eye on them, using spies in the mortal realm to track their movements. Reports are grim, but while there seems to be a group within Archangel who are acting against the creed of the organisation, the rest of it still works to maintain peace with non-humans and only deals with immortals who are dangerous to the mortals. I would not all them near Taryn though. I no longer trust anyone from that place, and neither does Olivia. It has caused her great distress.
Felicity: I can understand that. She worked for them for a long time, and it must be hard for her. Wow. I think that’s all the questions, so all that’s left is for me to say thank you, and I’m sure my readers will enjoy this interview as much as I have.
Bleu: Thank you for having me. Now if you don’t mind. *disappears*
Felicity: No guesses for where he’s of to now we’ve pressed his buttons about Taryn. I imagine she’s getting a big smooch right now.
Thanks for reading my Talking Tuesday interview and I hope that you’ll swing by the blog again next week to see who we’re interviewing then!
As always, my comments are open, and I’d love to hear from you!
Love Bleu great interview.
