Welcome to our second round of Sisterhood of the Travelling Blog! Join us nine authors as we talk about our writing, our characters, our inspiration and ourselves! This week I am hosting a blog entry from Sherrie Henry as she tells us about some of the wonderful characters she has created. You can find my entry on her blog this week.
Ø In your upcoming works in progress or new releases, what character
are you most looking forward to your fans reading and why?
Of course, the administrator of these blogs,
Ashley Nemer, has provided an almost impossible question to answer. I love all
my characters and would like to think each and every one of them is interesting
and entertaining.
How about I just list what’s coming up in
the next few months (fingers crossed) and tell my favorite at the end:
Coming first quarter 2013 is my novella ‘A
Wolf’s Bane’ from XoXo Publishing. Kai and Romy have found each other, but can
a werewolf and a human really find happiness? Culture and tradition force them
apart, but can they really be separated? Their path is a long and perilous one
and one wrong choice and Kai may have to choose a path that includes death.
My first novel ‘Last of the Summer
Tomatoes’ has been submitted for publication and I hope to hear any day now if
it was accepted. It’s a young adult gay romance story between teens Kyle and
Sam. Kyle is from an abusive home and has never learned how to feel, let alone
love. He meets Sam who teaches him what he’s heard his entire life isn’t true …
that he is deserving of love. But what will happen to the two at the end of the
summer when they have to go their separate ways?
I have submitted another gay romance story
for a story challenge; again hoping to hear any day about it. ‘Forever Fantasy’
is about Logan, a gay porn star who is tired of his life and hopes to get away
from it all, if only for a week. At a gay retreat he meets RJ, who shows him
intimacy doesn’t always involve sex. Once home. Logan falls into despair again,
this time finding a more permanent solution to his problem.
My current novel-in-progress, ‘Lucien’s
Story’ is nearing the half-way mark; and the title is in flux as I don’t think
it’s catchy enough, but had to name it something, didn’t I? Lucien is a very
old, very sexy and very slutty vampire who has an estranged relationship with
his daughter that he wants to repair. His move to NOLA marks the beginning of a
new life for him as he quickly becomes involved in his daughter’s affairs, his
daughter’s friends’ affairs, and babysitting a hot-tempered vampire to keep him
from self-destructing. Add on to this his feelings for another female that he
hasn’t had since his wife died four hundred years ago and you’ve got one
messed-up vampire with a compelling story.
Also in my WIP folder is my sci-fi novel
‘The Romance of Gael’, a gay vampire romance ‘Breaking Tradition’ and a
document full of story ideas that may take a lifetime to complete.
So, which one is my favorite? I think I
have to admit it’s Lucien. He’s funny, sexy, slutty (well, for a while),
paternal and you really don’t want him as your enemy. I think he’s the most
complex character I have created to date. I hope others like him as well and
hope to have him completed and submitted by Valentine’s Day. Would be a nice VD
gift to myself, huh? J
