Book Description:
The world holds few secrets for Oracle Elana Anderson, or
as her fans know her, Ela Deville. Successful author of paranormal romance,
Ela, has a secret: not all her paranormal characters are quite that fictional.
She hardly expected she'd trigger a chain of events that might bring about the
end of the world via a pesky dragon. Rendered blind to visions of him, Ela’s
only way to save her world is to keep the dragon close…very close.
Obitus, the only awake dragon in the Otherworlds, is
determined to get back the magic that was stolen from him and secure his
position for a good thousand years. Becoming Akai’s new guardian after getting
rid of the current one is the best way to it. But that means getting Ela on his
side. He’ll bargain and maneuver his way there if he has to, but ends up
tormented by the desire to have her for real.
In a game of deals, half-truths and irresistible
cravings, does one heart have to break in order for the other to save the
world?
Livia lives in Europe where she listens to obscene
amounts of music and devours every reading material in sight. When she’s not
doing either of the two, she fiddles with anything remotely customizable within
reach.
Describe
your books in 3 words?
Darkish,
delicious, different
If
you could be any character from one of your books who would it be?
Obitus,
definitely. I mean, I'd love to be a version of the PNR accomplished author
too, Ela Deville, but being a super awesome dragon would mean I could become
whatever I'd want right? And then I'd become an author dragon lady.
Come
on, anyone would want that, right? Right?...
What
is your greatest fear about being an author/publishing your book(s)?
My
greatest fear, perhaps the only real fear right now, is that I might not be
able to keep writing and publishing for some (whatever) reason. It's kind of
terrifying, because being an author has always been a huge dream of mine and I
didn't dare admit it for years, not even to myself - I was that sure it could
never come true. When I finally got the guts to try for it, I was lucky enough
to get where I am. Don't get me wrong, there's always a lot still to do and
bigger and better and all that, but I feel I'm in a good place right now. I'm
happy. New experience, and I'm terrified it might somehow be taken away from
me.
Would
the 10 year-old version of yourself kick your butt or praise you for what
you've accomplished in life?
She'd
be in awe of the present me, I think. Authors were more than rockstars to me,
always. Of course, I still have a lot more to accomplish to make her fully
proud. My other big dream when I was around that age was to magically become
one of the cats in my home, because seriously, they're living the dream all
day, every day.
What
do you do when you finish your book and turn it in to the editor?
Freak
out a little imagining once she opens the manuscript, all kinds of crawlers and
scares explode out of it. I re-re-re-re-read it and try to take out all
mistakes, but then I run into a 'ss' instead of 'as' somewhere and I'll be
screaming 'Nooooo!' like a maniac and freaking out. I know editing is the point
of editing, but my OCD-ing brain would like to never ever screw up a thing,
ever, in any way. Yeah, I'm that kind of crazy, lol.
What
is your favorite Genre and why?
Romance
is at a close tie with mystery/whodunit. I know, right? Kind of a strange tie
there. In a perfect world, I'd get Sherlock Holmes and Meet Joe Black mixed
into one never-ending cocktail. You know what I mean? xD
What
is one thing that would surprise us to know about you?
I
was terrified of ever showing anyone my writing for years. I mean years,
seriously. I'd write and hide the notebooks, lots of them, so nobody could find
and read them. It took me I think about five years to get comfortable with the
idea of people reading my stuff, and of those the real help was starting to
blog about two and a half years ago. Now I'm not only okay with sharing my
writing, but seriously excited about it.
Was
there an Author who inspired you to write?
I
know it won't sound like a real option, but all of the ones I read. Each and
every one of them was yet another living example of being brave and trying to
go for the dream. Everyone who has a vision, a dream and goes out there and
makes it happen inspires me, of course, but authors have a special place in my
heart, just like all their readers do. Because it takes two to tango, you know?
:)
How
did you come up with the characters in your books?
They
just show up in my mind, as clear as if they'd be standing in front of me. I
get to know them like I would someone I've just met, slowly uncover them from
the outside in.
Do
you prefer to write alone or do you like to collaborate with other authors?
I've
had some collaboration tries a few years ago with a friend, but it was just for
fun. I liked it, the story kept going someplace new, you know? I don't know if
I could do a collab for a novel though, I'd have to try it out first I guess.
:)
Everyone
uses computers, tablets, phones and no one uses handwritten form or
typewriters, what do you prefer to use?
Kind
of a combo. I do most of the writing on my laptop, editing on the PC, and
character studies, profiles, plot outlines and revision notes on notebooks. I
know, right? All over the place. The thing is I'm a total geek for tech and also
a total geek for notebooks, pens and all of that.
Is
there a ritual you do before you begin your book?
I
tend to take a full weekend to watch standup comedy non-stop before starting to
work on it. After laughing like crazy for two and a half days, I'm ready to go.
But then again I always do that on weekends, so maybe it's my routine more than
my writing routine? I always start working on new projects during the week and
brainstorm on the weekend, though I don't have a 9 to 5 job.

Favourite Lines “You’re going to be mine, Elana Anderson.
I think deep down inside, you know it to be true. I think you’ve seen it in one
of your visions. Seen how it might end. It scares you.”
“As my father used to say, smart warriors picked their
battles wisely.”
“I’ve been alone for a thousand years, a dark thousand
years. But now, feeling your taste in my mouth and your skin against mine, it’s
as if that never happened. As if the darkness was never there. You give me
solace. Don’t take that away from me, please,”
“I do trust that, Obitus. And I could lose myself in your
arms, I’d shudder at your touch and come apart in your embrace. I trust that
too. But I can’t trust you with my heart, and I fear it would follow my body
into your hands. You’ll get whatever it is you wanted from me. Please don’t
take any more than you absolutely have to.”
OMG Sigh..... Love can make the mightiest of Dragons do
anything, give up anything for love! Obitus is a Dragon who was put to sleep by
a power hungry God, on,y now he's awakened and wanting revenge! Elana can see
the future and what she sees now scares her to death! If she has one moment of
weakness she will lose the world and friends she loves so much! Or will she??
SQUEALLLLL! I loved this story and OMG those Dragons and
Gargoyles are so freaking sexy! They grumble and I swoon! I can't wait to know
what this author could come up with next! I don't know how she could top this
sexy Dragon but, I have a feeling it will be amazing! This whole story is a
roller coaster of emotions, teasing, lies, drama, love, and action. These
characters are one you can just sink into! I thought the Gargoyle was my
favourite but, I'm starting to think I'm a Dragon and Gargoyles lover!
I was given this book by author in exchange for an honest
review
