Author Ally Shields' latest book, Fire Within, was just released on Friday and is already a big success! Congratulations Ally and welcome! We are so glad that Ally and her main character (a witch named Ari) have taken time out of their busy schedules and are able to join us today. Take it away Ally and Ari...
Thanks very
much for inviting me to talk about my new book, Fire Within (Guardian Witch #2). Since the urban fantasy series is really about
my witch heroine Ari, I brought her along. I thought it would be good for
readers to know something about her, and she's agreed to answer a few questions
about the things in her closet. I bet she has some surprises for us.
Q-1 What's your favorite pair of shoes?
 |
| Ari's ACTUAL Closet! |
Ari: I have these really wicked looking black
leather boots with three inch heels. Ryan always kids me that I can't run in
them, but I can run in anything that looks that good!
Q-2 Do you have any hats?
Ari: What's a hat? No, I have a hood on my winter
jacket. I have scarves.
Q-3 Speaking of scarves, wool or silk?
Ari: Wool. I only wear them for warmth. Of course,
I do have a couple of silk cloths that I use in my witchcraft.
Q-4 Blouses or tailored shirts?
Ari: Both. But in the summer I much prefer
t-shirts. I wear blouses for dress up or girlie days with my BFF Claris.
Q-5 Jeans or slacks?
Ari: The only slacks I own are some semi-formal
silk ones. I wear jeans most of the time, even in the summer. If I have to take
someone down, the jeans offer more protection to my skin than shorts would.
Q-
6 Do you prefer neutrals or lots of
color ?
Ari: Green is my favorite top color, but I really
like black and white together. Most days though I wear neutrals.
Q-7 I just thought of a related question. I know
you wear a charm bracelet, do you have other jewelry?
Ari:
Post or stud earrings. I even have one pair of diamond studs from an old
boyfriend, but I never wear them.
Q-8 What do you have in your closet that you
wouldn't find in... say mine?
Ari:
Well, that's easy. A derringer, a stiletto, silver bullets, herbs and potions,
and all kinds of witchcraft paraphernalia. It's a full closet!
You're
right, I have none of those extra things. :) Thanks, Ari, for spending time
with our readers. Now let's tell them about Fire
Within, the second book in the Guardian Witch series.
Book
Blurb:
A
hidden evil stalks the city...
Fire
witch cop Ari Calin refuses to believe her human friend Eddie murdered a
vampire—in spite of his confession. When a second vampire dies, Andreas, the
sexy, charismatic vampire she dated and split from eight months ago, joins her
in the hunt for the real killer.
But Riverdale may have a special kind of serial killer
who's looking around for its next vampire victim. The roles of hunter and
hunted become blurred. And while Ari
might feel like killing Andreas at times, she doesn't want anyone else to do
it...
