Thanks to the brilliant C.J. Anaya, I get to introduce you to one of my favorite characters today. C.J. invited me to be a part of this blog hop and few weeks ago, and, finally, it's my turn.
But before we get to my man Luke, please meet C. J. Anaya.
When can we expect
the book to be published?
But before we get to my man Luke, please meet C. J. Anaya.
C. J. Anaya began writing short stories for family and friends
when she was thirteen years old. This soon morphed into an extensive project
every year during Christmas as a way to create a fun and inexpensive Christmas
gift. Now she is the author of “The Healer”.
 |
| Ladies and Gents, I've read this book and it is FAN-Freakin-TASTIC! I recommend it wholeheartedly. |
Her
passion for reading and writing led her to following her own dreams of becoming
a published author. She was born in Utah and raised everywhere else. She even
lived a few years in Brazil, enjoying the people, the culture and learning the
beautiful language of Portuguese; a language she is still fluent in to this
day. As a result of her exposure to varying peoples and cultures, her interests
became varied as well.
As a mother of four children she is now a singer and a
songwriter, a baker and a cake decorator, a dancer and a choreographer, a girl
with a degree in Criminal Justice and a first time published author of YA
paranormal romance and fantasy. She is also married to the most deliciously,
handsome looking Latino. As always, she has plenty to write about.

Now it's my turn!
World, meet Luke.
What is the name of
your character?
Lucas Hunter. He goes by Luke. Also, in another time and in another place, he was
known as Lancelot.
Is he fictional or a historic person?
Is he fictional or a historic person?
Depends on how you look at him. Some would argue that he
is a historical figure. Many more would say Lancelot is merely legend. Sadly,
there is no definitive proof of Camelot, King Arthur or his Knights of the
Round Table. And in this story, this version of his character is fictional, so…
I’ll let you decide if Luke is fiction or legend.
When and where is
the story set?
This story is in modern day Alaska, but also through memories and flashbacks, in Camelot and King Arthur’s court.
What should we know
about him?
Luke is from the realm of heroes called I Am. This is the life
he has chosen, but not necessarily for the same reason(s) all the other heroes
did. Luke’s in it for the girl.
What is the main
conflict?
Faeries and world domination. At least, that’s what Luke is supposed
to be there for. He, however, is circling a very familiar conflict that
involves a certain young woman... Ehem, love triangle, anyone? Perhaps, though, the biggest conflict for Luke is internal: his desire and his conscience.
What messes up
his life?
The minute Dee Scott (or possibly someone from a past life) walks into McKinley High, Luke’s world
begins to spiral. And, of course, his best friend Dane has his eyes set on her
too. As if his life wasn’t already slightly screwed up from his parent’s ugly
divorce and his mom’s recent remarriage to a staunch military man that Luke
cannot seem to get along with.
What is the personal
goal of the character?
To get the girl. Though he's a loyal friend and
an avid defender/protector too and he’s all about saving the world, at the end
of the day, it’s all about the one, her. He can’t help it if she’s all he’s thought about for
over six thousand years. I mean, give the guy a break already.
Is there a working
title for this novel, and can we read more about it?
The title for this novel
is actually, I Am: Guinevere. And even though, Luke/Lancelot's name isn’t in the title, he
still has a huge role in this story.
I’m currently working on the rewrite and, my hope is
that it will be ready for publication early 2015.
