Angela Roquet's "For the Birds" Blog Tour (Interview/Giveaway)
Welcome to Book Lovin’ Mamas! We are so excited to have you
here today!
I’m excited
to be here too!
1. Can you
tell us three things about yourself that we might not already know?
I’m
left-handed, I have a tattoo of a spider on the back of my neck, and I’ve seen
every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer at least four times.
2. What is
your favorite type of character to write? Least favorite?
I enjoy
writing light-hearted and comedic characters, like the archangel Gabriel,
Lana’s lush of a best friend. My least favorite is probably the villains. It’s
hard not to make them all evil clichés. Bad guys need to be well-rounded too.
3. When you
are deep into writing what is your biggest pet peeve?
I’m OCD,
and I’m constantly stopping in the middle of writing to double-check proper
comma or apostrophe usage or to research something. Then I get distracted by
the vastness of the interwebs…. and lose track of time. I hate it when that
happens.
4. Does
music ever play a part in your writing process?
I love
music, but I’m a singer, so my brain automatically focuses in on the lyrics. It
makes it hard to find the words to what I’m writing. If I listen to music while
I write, it has to be down low or purely instrumental.
5. Now for
the most important question…What can we expect for the future of this series?
I have
around a dozen novels outlined right now. There’s one that will focus on Lana
solving the murder of her mentor, Saul Avelo. I would also like to show a bit
more of the afterlives in Eternity, although, Limbo City is the focal point. I’m
working on a few short stories for anthologies, and by the end of the series, I
would like to release a companion book with a map of the city and with details
about all the different political groups and businesses of Limbo.
Thank you so much for being here today and we hope you will
come back again very soon!
Thanks for
inviting me! I’ve had fun answering your questions! : )
GRAVEYARD SHIFT
Lana Harvey, Reapers Inc., Book 1
The Inferno has Evolved… Lana Harvey is a reaper, and a
lousy one at that. She resides in Limbo City, the modern capital of the
collective afterlives, where she likes to stick it to the man (the legendary
Grim Reaper himself) by harvesting the bare minimum of souls required of her.
She’d much rather be hanging out with Gabriel, her favorite archangel, at
Purgatory Lounge. But when a shocking promotion falls in her lap, Lana learns
something that could unravel the very fabric of Eternity. If the job isn’t
completed, there could be some real hell to pay.
Lana Harvey, Reapers Inc., Book 2
The promise of peace in Limbo City is threatened once again,
but this time the terrorists have a more specific target in mind: Lana Harvey.
The up and coming reaper thought passing her classes at the Reaper Academy was
going to be her biggest challenge, but when a rebel demon sends her apartment
up in flames, she realizes that her victories from the previous year haven’t
gone so unnoticed after all… To make matters worse, the Afterlife Council has
taken notice of Lana too. The Egyptian god Horus is blackmailing her into
joining the Posy Unit so she can do an illegal side job for him, and Cindy
Morningstar, Lucifer’s daughter, insists that she take a two week training
course with the devilishly tempting Beelzebub, much to her angelic boyfriend’s
chagrin.
FOR THE BIRDS
Lana Harvey, Reapers Inc., Book 3
COMING SOON exclusively at Amazon: Kindle |
Paperback
Lana Harvey isn't just any
reaper. She's the new captain of the Posy Unit, a specialty group dedicated to
harvesting mass quantities of souls from natural disaster sites, battlefields,
and the like. The new title didn't come without a price though. Lana made some
promises along the way, and now it's time to follow through... even if that
means putting herself in the path of the three Fates, a fickle and mighty force
to be reckoned with. The Fates run a soul recycling plant in Limbo City, and if
Lana isn't careful, they just might recycle her.
Urban Fantasy Author Angela Roquet is a great big weirdo.
She collects Danger Girl comic books, owls, skulls, and random craft supplies. She no longer collects paperback books, because she can’t fit any more in her office, however she does collect ebooks. She has an unhealthy obsession with television shows created by Joss Whedon and fantasizes about him directing television or film versions of her novels. Angela’s favorite book/movie is The Wizard of Oz. She likes a little coffee in her cream, and her favorite food is sushi, even though it’s takes her FOREVER to make. Angela is a peace loving, tree hugging hippy who tries to buy organic and local as often as possible. She’s a fan of renewable energy sources, marriage equality, and religious tolerance. As long as whatever you’re doing isn’t hurting anyone, she’s a fan of you, too. Angela lives in Sedalia, Missouri with her husband and son. When she’s not swearing at the keyboard, she enjoys painting, goofing off with her family and friends, and reading books that raise eyebrows.
