Playing Favorites

One question I'm often asked by readers is, "Who was your favorite character to write?" Now, I don't like to play favorites. Most of the time I'll answer I love all my characters the same. While this is true, I will admit I'm most entertained by those characters providing comic relief in my stories. What can I say? I crack myself up.

In my upcoming release, Vessel of Power, the role of comic relief went to Rune, the hero's best friend and cousin. The hero, Prince Destin, is intense, driven, and serious. So is the heroine, Lia. They needed the counterweight of humor, which the irreverent, smart-ass Rune provides with style. My favorite scenes are when Rune is bantering with the hero, heroine, or both, driving them nutty with his mercurial wit and sideways charm.

In my humble opinion, humor is a necessary element in any dramatic story line. Not only does it provide a break from intense action or darker emotional scenes, but humor can also be a way to view the story/characters in a different light, giving the reader new insights. In Vessel of Power, Rune gives his fellow characters and the reader an amusing new angle on the action and the motivations of those around him.

To learn more about Rune and the rest of the cast of characters from fantasy romance Vessel of Power, watch for this release on The Wild Rose Press and Amazon October 7th, 2016.

~BLURB~
Dr. Moira Bannen faces death every day. But she’s never seen a killer like this before. As a specialist working for the Department of Disease Eradication and Control, she’s battled nature at its worst. Plagues she can handle, but now someone is targeting her for eradication.

Sent to another galaxy to manage a deadly outbreak, Moira narrowly escapes an attempt on her life. Bizarre circumstances draw private investigator Jackson Coltier into her plight, and he races to save her before the killer can strike again. Together they fight to stay alive and catch a murderer. But time is not on their side and the killer always seems a step ahead…


~EXCERPT~
The amusement lurking in the curve of her lips and corners of her eyes faded into concern. “You look a little flushed. Are you sure you feel all right?”

He jumped on the excuse with only a small twinge of shame. “Come feel my forehead, Doc.”

She eyed him with a hint of uncertainty, like prey sensing danger in the air, before her features smoothed into a focused expression he guessed was her doctor’s face. She stepped forward until she stood between his knees. 

 He nearly drooled. She smelled like cinnamon, reflecting the streaks of brooding fire in her dark hair. She wore black slacks and a soft, purplish-gray blouse that bared her arms, throat, and upper chest. The color drew a mysterious smoke in her eyes and added a luscious sheen to her milky skin.

She was asking him a question, but he didn’t pay attention to the words, concentrating only on the honeyed sound and the cool touch of her fingertips under his jaw. His hands came up of their own volition, fingers curling around her arms and absorbing the warm silk of her skin with aching pleasure.

 She went still, eyes widening as his circling fingers slid along her skin until they manacled her wrists. Her pulse jumped in her throat and he could hardly keep himself from leaning forward and sealing his mouth over that silky flutter. The only thing that stopped him from tasting her there and then pulling her down on the bed to taste her everywhere was the alarm in those soft gray eyes.

“On second thought,” he growled, “touching me is not a good idea right now.”


~5-STAR REVIEW~
"I really liked this book, you know what is going to happen in the end of course, but it's always great getting there. There is a great romance... and a really funny start that made me laugh. Why can't we get more well written sci fi romance book like this!
Thanks Michelle, when's the next one coming?"
