    Once Upon a Darkness
    Aria Kane, welcome
    to Romance Lives Forever. We’re excited to interview your character, Clint from
    the book, Once Upon a Darkness.
    Genre: Paranormal
    Romance
    Publisher:
    Entranced Publishing
    Cover artist:
    Kendra Egert http://creationsbykendra.com/
    Length: novella
    Heat rating: mild
    sensuality
    Blurb:
    Gretchen and her
    twin brother, Hank, were abandoned to a zombie horde when they were five years
    old. Intended to be a sacrifice by their zealot parents, they were instead
    rescued by The Company. Raised to become soldiers in the war against zombies,
    they now provide safe passage through danger zones, one contract at a time.
    Clint’s only skill
    is war, but he’s weary of killing other men. When his contract with the Marines
    runs out, he takes a job on Gretchen’s team, hoping that the search-and-rescue
    life will suit him better.
    On Clint’s second
    day, their four-man team is attacked, drugged, and taken to a prison full of
    frightened civilians. The only way in or out is by helicopter and, here, their
    enemies are human. One by one, the captives are culled from the holding area.
    Rumors say the facility director uses the prisoners as experimental subjects
    for the testing of a zombie cure.
    When Hank is taken,
    Clint and Gretchen must put aside their personal feelings and find a way out of
    the prison, surrounded by thousands of starving zombies, before Hank becomes
    just one more disposable guinea pig in the hands of a twisted mad woman.

    What are your

    Clint is a few
    years older than Gretchen and has just left the Marines to join The Company.

    twin brother. He’s on her team and serves as the team’s tracker.

    Interview with Clint

    Tell us about
    yourself.
    Not too much to
    tell, really. I grew up with a good extended family and joined the Marines when
    I was eighteen.
    Tell us about
    Gretchen.
    She’s the most
    incredible woman I’ve ever met. You know the first time we met, she tackled me
    and promised to shoot me? Yeah, I guess that doesn’t sound great, but she meant
    it in the best possible way.
    I just wish she’d
    open up to me.
    What do you
    think is your strongest point?
    I don’t lose my
    cool.
    What would
    Gretchen say is your biggest weakness?
    I’m not sure about
    biggest weakness, but she sure gets pissed when she tries to pick a fight with
    me and I don’t react. I think she just likes to fight.
    What was it like
    where you grew up?
    I don’t know if I
    remember what it was like before the virus. Sometimes I think I have a memory
    of my dad, but I couldn’t, right? I was too young.
    Both sets of
    grandparents and my aunts and uncles lived in Orlando, which was one of the first Safe
    cities, so we moved in with them about a year after the outbreak. It was
    crowded and loud.
    What do you wish
    was different about your life?
    I wish my sister
    was still here. And, if I can be greedy, my dad too.
    If you were
    given your fondest wish, what would it be?
    My mom tells me
    they used to say, “If you could go back in time and kill Hitler, would
    you?” I don’t know much about him, but I’d definitely take out the bastard
    who created the virus.
    Describe a place
    of perfect refuge.
    The minute right after I wake up next to Gretchen, before the world
    catches up with us.
