    Know the Hero from Burning Ash by NJ Walters @njwaltersauthor #RLFblog #PNR

    A vampire assassin and a vampire hunter collide on a hunt in NJ Walters’ exciting paranormal romance, Burning Ash, the third book in the Forgotten Brotherhood series.

    NJ, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I'm Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here!

    We're excited to find out more about your hero, but first, tell us about Burning Ash.

    Burning Ash by NJ Walters

    Genre Paranormal Romance/Vampire

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    No one is more surprised than Asher, one of the oldest vampires on Earth, that he’s attracted to vamp hunter Jo Radcliffe. She’s smart, a talented slayer, and she’s gorgeous. Something about her pulls at him, like no one ever has before. For a man whose name strikes fear in everyone—this is something new and intriguing. And quite possibly deadly, if she discovers his secret.

    Jo has two things in common with the handsome Asher—they are both slayers and someone is messing with them in a very-much-trying-to-kill-them way. She’s not so happy about joining forces with a dude she doesn’t know. But he’s sexy as hell and really good at his job as one of the Forgotten Brotherhood, whose business it is to execute misbehaving paranormals.

    She knows she’s bait in a larger plot to harm Asher and the Brotherhood. And there is nothing he won't do, no line he won’t cross, to keep her safe—which may be the weakness that destroys them both.

    Know the Hero from Burning Ash

    Here are some fun questions to help us know your hero.

    It's late, he's bored. What does he do?

    Asher is rarely bored—there’s so much to see and do—but he’d likely catch an episode of the Real Housewives of wherever. He loves reality television.

    What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?

    Food is something to be savored and enjoyed. He isn’t likely to impulse buy anything.

    Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.

    He wears a lot of black—jeans, shirt, boots, and leather coat. Easier to hide bloodstains and is always classic.

    Does he know how to fix things?

    If it interests him, he’ll learn. Computers are his passion, and he’s one of the best hackers on the planet. Otherwise, he’ll hire someone.

    He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.

    As a vampire, he needs blood to survive. Unlike the rest of his kind, he can eat food. When he first learned to cook—thousands of years ago—it didn’t go well. Vampires don’t exactly like fire. He burned more than he ate for the first decade or so. Now he goes out to eat or gets food delivered.

    How does he act around children he doesn't know?

    He hasn’t spent any time around them. He’s an immortal assassin. Not exactly a great babysitter. Or maybe that makes him perfect for the job.

    What is he like first thing in the morning?

    The night is Asher’s time to live and roam. He can be out in the day, unlike most of his kind, but he’s not what you’d call a morning person. He’s likely to be in bed or at home working on his computer.

    How does he act around people who don't know what he is?

    Unlike many immortals, Asher enjoys humans, their lives and the drama that surrounds them. He’s a big people watcher.

    Will he let a worker handle things or do it himself?

    If he can handle things himself, he does. Trust is a huge issue for him.

    Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?

    Nope, no piercings or tattoos. Piercings give an opponent something to rip out in a fight. He’s not opposed to tattoos but never settled on one he’d like permanently. Eternity is a very long time.

    Personal vehicle or public transport?

    Living in New York, public transit is easier. Plus, he can run at preternatural speeds if he needs to get somewhere fast. Or he can catch a ride on top of a transport truck, something he’s done many times before.

    Recycle or toss?

    Coming from a much earlier time, he’s big into recycling.

    Thanks for helping us get to know your hero!

    Tell us about yourself as a person.

    What is your personality type?

    I’m an introvert. I’m quite happy spending time at home writing, reading, and watching TV. I love to go to the movies by myself or take myself out for breakfast or to a coffee shop. While I enjoy doing things with family and friends, I have no trouble going to events or shopping on my own.

    What was your favorite childhood game?

    That’s a tough one. I had all the usual childhood loves like jump rope, Barbies, tag, and such, but I used to love pretending to be a teacher or librarian. I’d spend hours at that.

    What is your favorite meal?

    I’m a very plain eater and can’t say I have a favorite meal, but I do have some favorite foods—bananas, bread, cheese, and chocolate.

    Tell us about yourself as a writer.

    What made you want to be a writer?

    Like all writers, I started out as a reader. But other than poetry and a short story or two, I didn’t really think about writing until I was in my thirties. I was at a time in my life when I had some time and thought, “I could do that.” So, I did. I wrote two books that got rejected many times. I put them away and stopped writing for almost another decade before I started again. The book I wrote ended up being my first published book—Annabelle Lee (now available as Uncovering Annabelle) And the two books that were rejected? They were rewritten and were eventually published as Discovering Dani and The Way Home, the first two books of my contemporary romance Jamesville series.

    What’s your best advice for a new writer?

    Just write. It’s that simple. There’s no magic involved in writing, only hard work. It’s not an easy career, but it is a rewarding one. And don’t be afraid to grow and change. I began as a contemporary/contemporary erotic romance writer and ended up writing mostly paranormal romance. I’ve also written some sci-fi/fantasy books as well. Some writers find a niche and happily stay there. I find I need to switch it up now and again to keep the creativity flowing, which is why paranormal romance is so appealing. So many possibilities.

    What are your writing goals for this year?

    I admit that 2020 has been a rough year for me. For the first time since my career began in 2004, I didn’t want to write. My goal for the coming year is to block out the craziness of the world and get back to what I love doing best—telling stories.

Something about her pulls at him, like no one ever has before. For a man, whose name strikes fear in everyone––this is something new and intriguing.

    Jo has two things in common with the handsome Asher––they are both slayers and someone is messing with them in a very-much-trying-to-kill-them way. She’s not so happy about joining forces with a dude she doesn’t know. But he’s sexy as hell and really good at his job as one of the Forgotten Brotherhood, whose business it is to execute misbehaving paranormals.

    She knows she’s bait in a larger plot to harm Asher and the Brotherhood. And there is nothing he won’t do, no line he won’t cross, to keep her safe––which may be the weakness that destroys them both.

    Why did you write this book?

    From the moment I met Asher in Fury Unleashed, book one of the series, I knew he had to have his own book. He’s funny and irreverent and loves reality television, but that’s how he copes with who and what he is and what he must do. He’s the deadliest vampire in the world. His abilities allow him to bring dangerous vampires to justice. Because really, who can you call when a powerful paranormal goes rogue? The Forgotten Brotherhood, of course.

    What is your favorite genre to read?

    Romance is my favorite genre to read. Depending on my mood, I’ll read contemporary, paranormal, romantic suspense, historical, or sci-fi/fantasy. There are so many great books to choose from.

    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?

    This is always a tough choice. I have so many favorites. One of them is Rhage from J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series. His story has extended into several books. He’s a dangerous vampire who sometime becomes a deadly beast, but he has a huge heart, and when he loves, it’s forever.

    What are you working on at the moment?

    I’m working on the next book in the Forgotten Brotherhood series as well as the next book in my Assassins of Gravas science fiction romance series. Lots of fun.

    What books will we see from you in coming months?

    There will be another Forgotten Brotherhood book. No official title yet, but it is written. And there will be at least three more Assassins of Gravas books. No release date, but Ivar’s Escape, book two, should be coming soon.
