    Touch of the Gods.

    Have You Been Touched?

    Love and war are usually opposing forces. So, what happens if they make a bet? Everyone has someone, right? But is everything really fair
    in love and war? Heph isn’t the perfect guy, at least not where he lives and
    being a divorced bachelor is the worst. Pressured by his brother and nephew to
    find a mate, he moves to a new place, determined find ‘The One’.
    He finds her living next door and when they meet? They
    nearly go at it on the front lawn. Heph knows he has to do this the right way,
    but he just can’t keep his hands off of the curvy, full-bodied Vanessa. Once
    he touches her, it sets a catastrophe into motion, and he may lose the first
    woman who could ever love him.

    Tell us about the main character in your current book. What is he like?
    Hephaestus, the god of inventors, blacksmiths, and
    volcanoes. Sounds great right? To be immortal and all powerful. Well, for this
    guy, he’s hated by all the other gods, divorced from  Aphrodite. He’s lame
    and unloved making his self esteem not the greatest. But he’s loyal to his
    family, and has a bit of hope that his day for happiness will come.
    If your main
    character was here today, what would he say is his strongest point?
    The strongest point for Heph would be the fact that he’s an
    excellent handy man. He can fix anything and everything.
    Does he think he has
    a weakness? (If so, what does he think it is? What does his lover think it is?
    What does his enemy think it is?)
    Being the everyday punching bag, his self esteem is the
    weakness Hephaestus lives with. Because of the accident he suffered as a baby,
    he has a limp. For a god, any imperfection makes one unworthy. So, he suffers
    with image problems and is pretty anti-social.
    What drives your hero
    to do the things he does? What makes him want to be the “good guy?”
    Hephaestus is a loving spirit. He works hard to please his
    customers and those he loves. Never the type to do things half way, the way
    Heph lives is by giving 100%.
    What’s your main
    character’s favorite guilty pleasure?
    Listening to rap music and singing it as loud as possible.
    If you didn’t know
    how old you were how old would you be?
    Physically Hephaestus would look to be in his twenties. But
    in actuality he’s close to the age when man first came to be.
    A biography has been
    written about you. What do you think the title would be in six words or less?
    How To Embarrass Your Older Brother.
    If money were not an
    object, where would you most like to live?
    Hawaii.
    Hephaestus is the god of volcanoes.
    He’d see that they stayed inactive.
    What song would best
    describe your life?
    The Way I Am by Eminem
    If you were a tool,
    what would people use you to do?
    Hammer in things. Heph loves his hammer.
    Picture yourself as a
    store. Considering your personality and lifestyle, what type of products would
    be sold there?
    Every tool and power tool known to man.
    As a child, what was
    your favorite thing about school?
    Heph lived among humans after being cast from Olympus. His favorite class was in the blacksmith forges.
    Tell us an
    embarrassing story that has to do with a pet. If you have no pets, a story
    about a significant other will do. ^_^
    Hephaestus once owned a pig. He later learned that the pig
    was in fact his former neighbor who had been cursed by his older brother Ares.
    Sadly that pig had been sold for more tools and the neighbor’s wife wasn’t too
    thrilled with him.
    If you came with a
    warning label, what would it say?
    Watch out for the Prince
    Albert. It vibrates.
    Please Fill in the
    Blanks (as the character)
    I love pizza with a bottle of tequila.
    I’m always ready for the next shoe to drop.
    When I’m alone, I long to be accepted.
    You’d never be able to tell, but I’m a really big teddy
    bear.
    If I had a halo it would be melted
    after working in the forge.
    If I could fly I’d never have fallen from Olympus in the first place.
    I can never like my brother Ares because he’s a
    douche bag.

    About D. X. Luc
    An avid reader since I was a child, I never found a book I
    disliked. Mostly, you could find me lost in Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe, or
    Ernest Hemingway, and my most favorite, Ancient Greek literature. Taking my
    love of books, I started writing poetry, short stories, and even helped with
    screen writes for my drama club.
    By the time I was in my teens, my older sister introduced me
    to my first romance novel, The Hawk and the Dove by Virginia Henley. The moment
    I fell into the world of love, I was hooked, and my addiction grew
    until I found myself delving deeper into the erotic. After being convinced that I had the skills to try my hand
    at writing, I went to work on my first story Down the Yellow Brick Road:
    Finding Home. And since being published, I’ve not looked back.
    Now, as a busy mom who homeschools, drives to activities,
    and manages to find time to just cuddle with my husband of ten years, I have to
    say, I love being naughty when I get the chance. It’s freeing and I wouldn’t
    want it any other way!
