Character Interview Joe from Princess of the Light @NNP_W_Light #RLFblog #UrbanFantasy
Princess of the Light Please welcome author NN Light, who also happens to be a
personal friend, and one of the editors for my business, The Author’s Secret.
Her book, Princess of the Light is helping people everywhere learn how to share
food and to open their lives to help others. This post is a special character interview with Joe Deacons.About the Book
Title Princess of the LightGenre Urban Fantasy RomanceAuthor N. N. LightBook heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13Gabriel, the Archangel and Messenger of God – yeah that Gabriel,
visited Mary Miller. He told her, as the key she is destined to spread the Light
and vanquish the Darkness. Her first assignment is to restore the soul of the Walking
Man. Sounds simple enough until she’s thrown in the face of evil, and then Joe Deacons
enters her heart. This battle just got a lot more complicated. She must complete
her mission without losing all she loves.Interview with Joe Deacons
Tell us about yourself, please.My name is Joe Deacons
and it’s a pleasure to be here. I’m a little out of my element here but the author
assured me this was all for the good of the story, calling me every woman’s book
boyfriend…whatever that means. Anyway, I am an urban planner for the city of Golden
Lake. Oh and I am in love with Mary, the Princess of the Light.What inner doubt causes you the most difficulty?Believing in what I can’t
see or logically explain causes me great difficulty. Take Mary, for example. One
day she tells me she is the Princess of the Light and knowing her as an honest person,
I had no choice but to believe her. She is a faithful person and it wasn’t until
I saw a demon for the first time that I truly believed. Sometimes I am still amazed
that she chose me to love… or maybe it was just meant to be.What’s your external complication? In the story world your
author created, explain what it is you fear most.Losing Mary, either to
death or to Than. Than is a big bad demon, second in command to Lucifer, and I see
lust in his eyes when he spars with Mary. It makes my blood boil and I want to run
a sword through him.Tell us about your significant other, that person who makes
living worthwhile.Mary is the most beautiful
woman in the world and every day, I thank God for her. She brings such beauty to
my life and loves me for me, not my parents’ money. She tells me the truth and keeps
me honest. She is brave, braver than me, and she makes me laugh. She’s strong but
she shows me her insecurities too. I’m a better man because of her and I love her
so much.What would that person say about you?She would say I’m being
modest and too reserved in this interview and that I’m her warrior and her strength.
She boasts I’m her protector and I like that. What man doesn’t want to protect those
he loves? She would also say I have a heart of gold and I’m not afraid of anything.What is your family like?My father is the king
of decorum and he believes in preserving the Deacons name, at all costs. My mother
is a generous loving soul who could outdo Martha Stewart in a hostess contest. She
has always been there for me and I love her dearly. My younger brother, Edward,
is a historian and theologian. He is more like my father and that is fine by me.If someone from your past showed up, who would you NOT want
it to be, and why?This actually happened
to me in the book. A few years ago, a gold-digger named Leslie convinced me to marry
her. She pretended to love me and I loved her. Two days before the wedding, she
dumped me for another man. I was heartbroken and I vowed to never let another woman
get close again.Then Mary came into my
life and the walls around my heart melted. I was happily in love and then BAM! Leslie
shows up when least expected. For more, you have to read Princess of the Light.Are you happy with the way your story ended? Why or why not?Yes, I’m happy with how
my story ended. There are a few surprises along the way and I can’t wait for the
next story. I keep nudging the author to have me more involved in the story but
she refuses to listen to me.About the Writer
You have the length of
a tweet (140 characters) to describe yourself as a writer. Let’s see what you can
do.I’m a storyteller who loves to write stories filled with high
stakes, emotionally-charged conflict, earth-shaking romance and big bads.Why did you choose to
write about this character?I chose to write about Joe because I thought the world needed
a hero who was strong yet willing to let the woman he loves be front and center.
Love is not dead and neither is chivalry. He is Mary’s partner, lover and warrior.Was there anything you
discovered about this character that was a surprise to you?I was surprised how caring he was. Even with all that was going
on in the various battle scenes, his first reaction is to make sure people are okay.Why do you write?I write because I’m a storyteller. I have been blessed with the
gift of writing ever since I was a little girl. I have all these stories that need
to be told swirling in my head. I just have to get them down on paper. Finding time
to write is the hardest part of being a writer.What do you want to write
next?I’m in the process of writing book two in the Princess of the
Light series. I also have a mystery swirling around that my muse insists is next
to be published.What other character from
this book do you want to write about? Care to tell us why?I’d love to write more about Than. He is a demon from way back
and in fact, used to be an angel. In Heaven, he was the Virgin Mary’s Protector.
But that was before the Rebellion. Now, he’s Lucifer’s second in command and he’s
a key player in the battle of good versus evil.Are any sequels planned
for this book?Yes, I have currently five more books planned in the Princess
of the Light series.Is there anything you’d
like to say to your readers?As a thank you for your interest in my book and helping to support
food banks worldwide, I am offering Princess of the Light (in both e-book and paperback)

of changing himself.” Leo TolstoyWhat was your favorite
book as a child?I started reading at age 4 so I don’t remember what I liked then,

remember a favorite book as a pre-teen: Where the Red Fern Grows. I also liked The
Outsiders.What was the last movie

who wasn’t afraid to fight back.If the hero of your latest
book called you on the phone, what would be a perfect ringtone for him?My latest hero is a centaur shifter so I guess it would be a
song about horses. Wild Horses by the Rolling Stones would be his ringtone. I love

5 Easy Questions: JM Stewart author of Risking It All @JMStewartWriter #RLFblog #Contemporary
Risking It All 5 Easy Questions is an interview is designed to be quick,
easy, and fun. Today’s guest is JM Stewart.What is your go-to meal to order when you dine out? Your favorite
“I know it will hit the spot” item.Well, I had my gallbladder
out a year ago and have since had to start eating healthier (aka boring. Lol). Low
fat, low carb, gluten free. So right now, my favorite “dine out” meal
would be a good grilled chicken salad. My favorite is the naked grilled chicken
salad at Q-Doba. Before though? I didn’t really have one. I like variety. But usually
anything with chicken and pasta. Though I am fond a good teriyaki. Depends on my
mood.What were you like when you were in school?Oh geez. I was that quiet
girl in the back of the class trying not to be noticed. lol Not a geek, but definitely
not popular either. I was a “band fag” (pardon the term; it’s what we
called ourselves) in high school. lolWould you rather stay inside and watch snow falling, or get
out in it and build a snowman?Get out in it and build
a snowman for sure. I don’t like being cold, but when it snows, I’m still a kid
at heart. I want to get out my gloves and boots and go throw snowballs. lolWhat is your favorite quote?From Diana Gabaldon’s
Outlander. It’s a favorite because I can relate to him in this moment.“Sassenach?”“Yes?”“Ye know the fortress
I told ye of, the one inside me?”“I remember.”He smiled without opening
his eyes, and reached out a hand for me.“Well, I’ve a lean-to
built, at least. And a roof to keep out the rain.”If the hero of your latest book called you on the phone, what
would be a perfect ringtone for him?Something that would
make people laugh when they heard it. Kyle’s kind of a goofball. He’s a great big
kid at heart. Like that “Kung Foo Fighting” song, just because you couldn’t
help but laugh (at least, I couldn’t) when it went off in a public place.About the Book
