Authors’ confessions: their characters’ most unusual, juicy or even scandalous quirks

A Witch Without Magic by Larisa Walk

Character: Randolph Hammerschmidt was a ladies’ man.  Except that the ladies he preferred to date were the inmates in the women’s prison where he worked as a correctional officer.  When his mentally unstable wife found that out, she turned to black magic and became even more unstable.  In a fit of revenge, she changed Randolph into a cat and he barely escaped from becoming her slave familiar.  Now he lives in another witch’s house and is learning how to live like a cat.

Storm Dancer by Rayne Hall

Dahoud is a troubled hero with a dark past. He seeks to atone for the terrible deeds he committed as a siege commander, and to build a new life of humility and peace. Ruling the land he once devastated, how can he keep the secret of who he really is? Possessed by a demon that tempts him back into his old ways, how long can he resist the lure? Dahoud fights to protect his people from war’s violence – but how can he shield the woman he loves from the evil inside him?

Dahoud’s juicy fantasy: a strong woman wrestles him and wins, so he can submit.

Annwyn’s Blood by Michael Eging
Aldonzo, Prince of Languedoc, is our favorite quirky character in Annwyn’s Blood.  He is from a region of Southern France that retained its Roman-ness despite the collapse of the western Empire.  To cement an alliance with a kingdom in Britain, his family sent him across hostile Frank kingdoms in Gaul to the court of High King Mattheus who rules in Wales.  To say he is a fish out of water is generous.  Once there this young man, schooled in his letters and old Roman learning (and accustomed to life’s finer things), finds himself encamped on the fringe of civilization with a king whose retainers seem little more than the brigands and cutthroats they hunt.  He gains a reputation among the court as a “fop” who seeks fame and glory while striving to avoid the hardships of military life.  With his finery and oiled locks, he presents a very different, almost tragically comic figure compared to the hardened soldiers and questing heroes surrounding him.  But this prancing popinjay finds himself thrust into the forefront of danger where he must dig deep within himself to find the courage and strength to survive and overcome, to rescue his betrothed, and at last earn the respect of Mattheus and his court.

ANTics (children’s fantasy) by Linda Dakota Douglas

RepugnANT is an an evil spider. Born with seven instead of eight eyes, he was banished by his fellow spiderlings. He almost died but was saved by a Spider Witch who gave him magic powers that make him almost invisible. However, he has one flaw – a fear of water – that makes him vulnerable. And he’s also got the worst pong of any creature in The Crawly Kingdom.

The Vampire’s Game by Wendy Potocki

This expose of quirkiness is lovingly directed at Miranda Perry. Introduced in The Vampire’s Game, she’s the central character of the vampire trilogy, Adduné. A proper Englishwoman, she hides a dark secret … she sings into her hairbrush.

A lover of popular music, she’s practiced the fine art of hairbrush singing in front of her mirror since a small child. Discovered by her father when she didn’t properly fasten her bedroom door, he said nothing about the experience—keeping her privacy safe just the way a good father would. Not outgrowing the penchant, she continued to expand her horizons in college by involving her best friend, Tiffany Rodriguez, into her mad fantasy. The two joined forces, lip synching to Heart, Pat Benatar, Gloria Estefan, Celine Dion, The Black Eyed Peas, and with Tiffany’s urgings, the Pussycat Dolls! Yes, imagine them writhing around while mouthing, “Don’t You Wish Your Girlfriend Was Hot Like Me!” Yes, I’m sure that he does, Miranda. Personally, I’m hoping that before Part III ends, she takes the fine art to the next level by breaking loose with some karaoke in her favorite NYC bar.

SEEN by Heather Sutherlin

Margo wanted more. At 16 she had a man, but not just any man – a man who left his wife and child for her. But when she ran away with Vincenzio she had no idea that he meant to take her through the portal into this realm. Of course there were benefits to this little quest, too. Claregh, their guide, was a man who commanded attention with his tall frame and broad shoulders. A smile curved across her red painted lips as a new plan crystallized in her mind. She would seduce the wizard and convince him that they could rule the land together if he would help her. She’d whisper sweet words of lusty promises in his weak little ears. When at last they reached the sorcerer’s fortress, she would use the wizard’s magic and her lover’s strength to overcome their enemy. Just think of all that she could do with a fortress of her own and the sorcerer’s newly claimed army. She may have needed Vincenzio and Claregh to get this far, but Margo didn’t need a man to share her power and new found wealth. So, once their quest was complete, she would do what any smart girl would do. She’d dispose of them.
