Character Interview: Arthur from Dawnflight @KimHeadlee #RLFblog #historical
Dawnflight The character interview allows a hero or heroine to tell
readers about himself or herself. Today’s interview is with Arturus Aurelius Vetarus
— better known to us as King Arthur.Interview with Arthur
Tell us about yourself, please.I am Arturus Aurelius Vetarus, Dux Britanniarum—that is to say,
my name is Arthur son of Uther, and I command the army that defends the northern
Brytoni territory of the Isle of Brydein from Caledonian, Saxon, Scotti, and Angli
threats. I am Roman by my father, and descended from the Aurelii emperors: Antoninus
Pius, Hadrian, and Marcus Aurelius. My mother is Ygraine, chieftainess of Clan Cwrnwyll
of Brydein—though the circumstance of my birth prevents me from becoming chieftain
after her.Authors call what you want but cannot have “the conflict”
— what is yours?When I followed my late father to become Dux Britanniarum, what
I had wanted was to be granted an exception for my illegitimacy by the elders of
Clan Cwyrnwyll so that I could be designated my mother’s heir. But that desire became
as nothing the day I met Gyanhumara, Chieftainess of Clan Argyll of Caledonia. I
knew she was the woman who would share my vision for a united Brydein and help me
bring it to pass. But she was betrothed—by a stipulation of my own treaty with her
people—to Urien, my greatest political rival, a man who will stop at nothing, including
war, to achieve what he wants.I cannot bring such a calamity upon those I have sworn to protect.Perhaps you might be wondering why I do not simply void the betrothal
clause. I could—for any man of aristocratic status. As a bastard, I do not qualify
under the treaty terms. The day I had drafted that accursed document, I had never
thought that in half a year I would be meeting the woman I crave more than breath
itself.What can you not do (but need to do) during this story?Some of my advisers might argue that I should kill Urien and
be done with the matter. The fact is that Urien’s father and mine were great friends
and allies, and Chieftain Dumarec has graciously extended that support to me. Dumarec’s
men form the backbone of the legion I command, and killing Urien would kill that
alliance.But if there is another way to make Urien pay for his disrespectful—and
sometimes hurtful—treatment of Gyanhumara, I swear by all that is holy that I shall
find it.Tell us about your significant other, that person who makes
living worthwhile.Gyanhumara is a chieftainess of the Caledonian people by birth,
and a warrior and leader of warriors by training. Her clan, Argyll, led the southernmost
Caledonian clans to attack the Brytoni settlement at Abar-Gleann, though Gyanhumara
herself did not fight in that battle. If she had, I would have worded that damned
betrothal clause far differently, I assure you.I do not love her because she is gorgeous, or wealthy, or intelligent,
or amusing, or amazing, or skilled with a sword, or because a union with her will
help to strengthen the fragile peace between our peoples. Indeed Gyanhumara is all
of those things, and more. But take away all those attributes, and she would still
be the woman for whom my heart thrums its most joyous song.What would that person say about you?Hah! Probably that I am secretive, private, and unreadable—because
I must strive to keep my feelings for her buried. I would shout my love for her
from the very gates of heaven itself, but not one moment before I determine how
I can nullify her betrothal to Urien without inviting disaster.What special skills do you rely on?Uther and his best general, my cousin Merlin, taught me strategic
and tactical thinking, as well as the ability to recognize good counsel and abilities
within others. I credit these skills as the reason I was able to defeat Gyanhumara’s
people in my first battle as Dux Britanniarum. No doubt they attacked because I
was untried as a leader of men, and although I despised the loss of life on both
sides of that conflict, it pleased me to prove the Caledonians wrong. Yet it pleased
me even more to turn former enemies into valuable allies.My foster brother Cai would likely name as a “special skill”
my ability to bring out the best in men with but a word, a nod, sometimes no more
than a brief touch. I cannot explain why this is so, but I have observed the results
myself and know that Cai is right. And I am grateful for this ability of mine, for
I need all my soldiers to function at their very best in order to help me keep Brydein
safe.About the Author
Kim Headlee lives on a farm in southwestern Virginia with her
family, cats, goats, Great Pyrenees goat guards, and assorted wildlife. People and
creatures come and go, but the cave and the 250-year-old house ruins—the latter
having been occupied as recently as the mid-twentieth century—seem to be sticking
around for a while yet.Kim is a Seattle native and a direct descendent of twentieth-century
Russian nobility. Her grandmother was a childhood friend of the doomed Grand Duchess
Anastasia, and the romantic yet tragic story of how Lydia escaped Communist Russia
with the aid of her American husband will most certainly one day fuel one of Kim’s
novels. Another novel in the queue will involve her husband’s ancestor, the seventh-century
proto-Viking king of the Swedish colony in Russia.For the time being, however, Kim has plenty of work to do in
creating her projected 8-book Arthurian series, The Dragon’s Dove Chronicles, and
other novels under her new imprint, Pendragon Cove Press.Why did you choose this character for the interview today?I have written an “open letter” guest post as Arthur,
but this is the first time he has ever been called upon to conduct an interview.Are any sequels planned for this book?Oh yes! In fact the first sequel, Morning’s Journey, is already
on sale. I have a total of eight books planned for The Dragon’s Dove Chronicles,
though Arthur will be just a “gleam in the eye” in one of them.Why should readers who haven’t picked up one of your books
before give this one a try?Oh, where to begin? How about with terrific writing and an exciting
plot? Furthermore, in all of Arthurian literature, Dawnflight features the only
Guinevere character (Gyanhumara, or Gyan as she prefers to be called by family and
close friends) that a reader can truly like, for a change. Dawnflight can be read
as pure escapism, but it also contains layers of meaning for those readers who like
to delve deeper. And this edition features a Tolkien-esque invention of languages
to further enrich the world inhabited by Gyan and Arthur and their families, friends,
allies, and enemies.Is there anything you’d like to say to your readers?Thank you so very much for all your clicks and buys and reviews
and follows and shares and fan mail and every other type of support I haven’t mentioned!About the Book
Title DawnflightGenre historical romance with fantasy, military, and spiritual
elementsAuthor Kim HeadleeBook heat level (based on movie ratings): PGAmong the misty lochs and glens of ancient Scotland, duty wages
war against love on the battlefield of opposing cultures and agendas. When Gyanhumara
and Arthur meet, they recognize each other as soul mates. Arthur’s treaty has preserved
Gyan’s ancient right to marry any man, providing he is a nobleman—but Arthur himself
does not qualify. And the man to which she is betrothed, the ambitious Urien, shall
not be so easily denied by his greatest political rival. If Gyan and Arthur cannot
prevent Urien from plunging the Caledonians and Brytons back into war, their love
will be doomed to remain unfulfilled forever.But there is an even greater threat looming. The Laird of the
Scots wants their land and will kill all who stand in his way. Gyan, Arthur, and
Urien must unite to defeat this merciless enemy who threatens everyone they hold
dear.Book trailer: http://youtu.be/mHOESkv-R_cBuy This Book

#amreading Hidden Desire #8 Vespian Way #SFR by Barbara Donlon Bradley @barbbradley #RLFblog
Hidden Desire This quick interview includes info about the author, and introduces
the story.About the Author
Writing for Barbara Donlon Bradley started innocently enough.
Like most, she kept diaries, journals, and wrote an occasional letter but she also
had a vivid imagination and wrote scenes and short stories adding characters to
her favorite shows and comic books. As time went on she found the passion for writing
to be a strong drive for her. Humor is also very strong in her life. No matter how
hard she tries to write something deep and dark, it will never happen. That humor
bleeds into her writing. Since she can’t beat it she has learned to use it to her
advantage. Now she lives in Tidewater, Virginia with two cats, one mother in law
– who’s 87 — her husband, and son.Interview with Barbara Donlon Bradley

book?Because if I didn’t, I think my characters would have beaten
me up in my sleep. This is the 8th book in a series I’ve been working on.What is your favorite
genre to read?I like reading what I write which is SF/futuristic but I also
edit for a publisher so I’m reading a lot of different genres. It’s something I
enjoy and it makes me a little sharper when I edit my own work.Who is your favorite character
from fiction (not including your own)?Wow – I have to pick just one? Hmmm, I’ve always loved Thomas
Covenant the Unbeliever – I loved the series so much I bought the books in hardback
back when I was young and broke.What are you working on
at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?I am finishing the edits on book 9 of my series titled Timeless
Desire. I changed the timeline leaving only two people who know what happened and
their job is to set it right. Then I’m working on the next book in the series, editing
a werewolf book I wrote several years ago and have a short story I want to write
about dragons.Please tell us about your
latest book.Heather wants to fight beside her people, not watch from a safe
distance. So when her brother comes up with a way to disguise her she jumps at the
chance. Now she can try out for an elite team to help defeat Reasta, who has a stronghold
