Please share your visit with a friend. Lisa What's the title? Tea with the Demon** **See footnote. What's the genre? Paranormal Erotica – it’s very explicit and steamy, all consensual but very graphic. You may need to take a cold shower, or be ready for action.... What's the setting? Tea with the Demon is set in a small, fictional, town in the heart of England (UK). Wingate is quiet and Dez thinks nothing ever happens. What's the names of your leading characters? Dez – Half demon and prone to boredom. It’s not his full name but everyone knows him as Dez. For now anyway. Angel – Actually, she’s Evangeline but everyone knows her as Angel. There’s also Edward the librarian – no, not that library, the secret library hidden underneath the town library – and Helen and Derek, and Jason.... mustn’t forget Jason. It’s all a bit complicated and spans several lifetimes. But Dez and Angel are the key players. What are 3 things you want to share about each of the characters? Dez and Angel aren’t fully human, and often not fully clothed either. There’s a reason Helen and Jason are drawn to Dez and Angel, and why Derek takes an instant suspicious dislike to Dez – but you’ll have to read the book to find out. Dez’s father was a minor demon, his mother a human sacrificial victim who survived. Angel’s not saying who her parents were but rumour has it that one was an angel. What can you tell us about the story in 3-5 sentences? If you met Dez, you’d not remember him after a few moments. That’s part of his power. He’s walked the streets of Wingate for centuries but no-one knows him. Apart from Angel, and Edward. Meant to be feared and worshipped, Dez has been a naughty boy. Condemned to walk alone and unfulfilled for eternity, Dez is bored. Until he meets Helen Sharpe. Despite his best efforts Helen remembers him, and is unaffected by him. So tells us, where can we buy your books? Amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009POJCO2/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B009POJCO2&linkCode=as2&tag=osier-21 In paperback http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tea-Demon-Isobel-Herring/dp/148014336 Amazon US: http://www.amazon.com/Tea-with-the-Demon-ebook/dp/B009POJCO2 Kobo: http://www.kobobooks.com/ebook/Tea-with-the-Demon/book-AocWTxm8L0iC57_tyoGBxw/page1.html?s=mHRYBp3wCUSwsgbXhunXDA&r=1 Smashwords: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/243889?ref=OsierPublishing Footnote ** A few words from Isobel herself... Let me introduce you to my debut full length novel, Tea with the Demon. There are secrets behind this book, the name and the story, a history that if I told you, I’d have to lock you up for a very long time. A word of warning though, do not buy this book unless you like your characters undressed and slicked with sweat; and the action graphic. You may need a cold shower in order to finish the book. Interesting miscellany.... Tea with the Demon is referenced as a fictional work in another author’s work. So is the, as yet unwritten, sequel: The Demon’s Tree. As a reciprocal gesture, a writer is referred to in Tea with the Demon – but the book mentioned is one they haven’t written – yet. I’ve been fascinated with the intellectual concept of reincarnation for years and wanted to explore the notion of instant attraction based on previous shared lives, and instant enmity. Why is it that we sometimes form an instant opinion of someone? Is it that we’ve known them before? Dez and Angel grew from that exploration process, and I’m very glad they did. Well, there you have it. A one minute synopsis, links to buy and a warning about Isobel's new book.
Enjoy! Until- next time, Lisa Ring Fenced by Zach Abrams What's the genre? It doesn't neatly fit into a genre. Roughly it's a CRIME novel but it's really more a story about power, control and obsession showing how it's used and abused. What's the setting? The primary location is the greater London area with some of the peripheral plot taking place in Glasgow and California. What's the names of your leading characters? The central character is Benjamin Short who also uses the names Ben, Benjie Bennie and Jamie. Supporting characters are his wife Natasha, his mother Hanna Shroot and his business partner Marvin What's 3 things you want to share about each of the characters to named? Benjamin (in his various roles) is rich, powerful, intelligent and self obsessed Natasha is a content wife and mother. Hanna is a typical elderly Jewish mother yearning for more contact with her son. Marvin is a technically brilliant IT specialist, he is kind and honest. What can you tell us about the story in 3-5 sentences? My book tells the story of Benjanin Short in his various incarnations. Benjamin is a very complex character and compartmentalises his life to an extreme. His life is split into five different characters, each living under a variation of his name and the people in each of these lives have little or no knowledge of the others. The one common thread weaving each of his lives together is his obsession for music. How's it end ? Oops... don't answer that. How's is not a What's question. I guess to learn more about the story and how it ends your readers need to buy the book. So tells us where can we buy your book(s)...........
