Meet Darius: Drakon’s Promise #PNR @njwaltersauthor #RLFblog
N.J. Walters is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling
author who has always been a voracious reader, and now she spends her days
writing novels of her own. Vampires, werewolves, dragons, time-travelers,
seductive handymen, and next-door neighbors with smoldering good looks—all vie
for her attention. It’s a tough life, but someone’s got to live it.About Drakon’s Promise
Genre Paranormal RomanceBook heat level (based on movie ratings): RDarius Varkas is a drakon. He’s neither human nor dragon.He’s both.He’s also the target of an ancient order who want to capture
all drakons for their blood. When fresh, a drakon’s blood can cure any illness
and prolong a human’s life, and the Knights will stop at nothing to get it.When librarian Sarah Anderson stumbles across a rare book
belonging to the Knights of the Dragon, she’s quickly thrust into a dangerous
world of secrets and shifters and things she never would have believed
possible. When the Knights realize Sarah has a secret of her own, she becomes
just as much a target as Darius. Her scary dragon shifter just might be her
best chance at survival.Introducing Darius Varkas
Welcome to Romance Lives Forever! We’re happy to have you
here today.Name: Darius VarkasAge: 4000 years, give or take a fewGender: maleBirthplace: A small village that has long since crumbled to
dustProfession: EntrepreneurEthnicity/Species (if not human): I’m a drakon, the son of a
dragon and a human woman.Describe your body and
build, skin tone, height and weight. Include any unique features such as dimples,
freckles, or scars.In my human form, I’m 6’10” with black shoulder-length
hair and green eyes. I have a tattoo that covers the entire left side of my
body from my neck to my ankles. It’s a birthmark and is a swirling pattern that
is bronze and outline in the same green as my eyes.Who is the significant
other in your life?That would be my Sarah. She’s the most beautiful, most
amazing woman in the world. Brilliant too. After all, she chose me.Please tell us a
little about yourself.I’m a drakon so I like my privacy. I’m not even sure why I
agreed to do this interview. *grumbles*Please tell us about
your education.I’ve lived four thousand years. I speak and write many
languages, including some long forgotten by time. I’ve learned alongside
mankind. Airplanes were a particular favorite invention of mine, as being a
pilot allows me to take to the skies nowadays when it isn’t as easy to simply
shift and soar. Computers I can use but I don’t particularly like them.Do you get by, live comfortably,
live extravagantly?I’ve lived for a very long time. I’m also an earth drakon,
which means I know how to find precious metals and gems. I’ve accumulated quite
a hoard over the course of my life. And like any self-respecting drakon, I
guard what is mine.Are you close to family?My brothers are my family and we are very close. We had
different mothers but the same dragon sire. Of course, now I have Sarah. They
all love her.Can you keep a secret?
Why or why not?Of course I can keep a secret. I’m a drakon. Of course,
telling all of you about myself isn’t exactly keeping that a secret.What secrets do you know
about people around you that you do NOT share?I know all my brothers’ secrets, but I would never betray
their trust.What is your biggest need?My biggest need is to wipe the Knights of the Dragon from
the face of the planet. They want to capture me and my kind for their own
profit and to prolong their lives by drinking our blood. We were content to
leave them alone, but they will not leave us in peace. And they threatened
Sarah and will always be a threat to her and to my brothers. They have to be
eliminated.What are your biggest
hopes and dreams?I dream of being able to live my life in peace with Sarah.What is your biggest personal
flaw?I have no flaws. *turns to Sarah* Stop laughing. She says I’m
set in my ways and stubborn. Overprotective too. But since I’m always right, I
don’t see that as a flaw.Who in your life has the
power to hurt you the most and why?Sarah has the power to destroy me. She is my heart. I trust
her more than I thought it possible to every trust a woman.What would you like
to tell your writer?I want to thank her for bringing Sarah into my life. I also
want to let her know this is my first and last interview. I’m done.Buy Drakon’s Promise

Top Bloggers Oct 2015 @pmillhouse #RLFblog
Cancer Awareness Week In October, RLF celebrated Cancer Awareness Week. Authors who
have faced cancer either in themselves, or a family member were invited to
share stories. The importance of friends and family, and having a support system
is vital. One key to success is being able to ask for help — and then being willing
to accept it. It’s a lesson I’ve had in my own life during various times. I don’t
accept help well. It’s something I fight with all the time. I’d like to think
“I’ve got this” but sometimes I don’t have as good a grip as I thought
I did. I have a friend who’s dealing with cancer right now. A friend’s brother died
from cancer last year. Cancer affects all of us. I hope I’m even half as good a
friend as those you read about in this series.I presented the posts as an opportunity for the authors to share
their real life stories, as well as their fictional ones. Here is the full list
of posts in the order they were presented.#Cancer Awareness: It Affects All @AuthorTinaGayle CEO’s Widow
