If you have an author friend, or are an author yourself, then you know how talkative characters can be. Mine are no exception. Sometimes I feel like I\u2019m just their conduit, their way for them to speak to the world, rather than their creator.<\/span><\/p>\n

That said, in the lead up to the release of <\/span>The Most Special Chosen<\/span><\/i>, coming March 3, 2018, I\u2019ve convinced a few of them to grant me interviews. I want to let you, let the world, get to know them. I promise you the interviews will be spoiler free. I\u2019ll be posting one a month in November, December, January and February, each of which will also feature original portraits by the immensely talented Kyle McGill<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

I realize that while I\u2019m intimately acquainted with them all, the stars of the <\/span>Exalted Bloodlines <\/span><\/i>series are all new entities to you. So allow me a moment to introduce my main cast. Elysabeth Vance, daughter of Estel and George, is a senior in college who lives with her best friend of eight years, Shawn Dooley. At this point, they\u2019re more like siblings than friends. <\/span><\/p>\n

Damien Delanciennes stars opposite Elysabeth. He lives with his rather large family: Donovan and Selini, his parents; and Alyssa, Demetrius, Sebastian, Selene, and Eziano, his siblings.<\/span><\/p>\n

So far, Selene, Shawn, Damien, and Elysabeth have granted me interviews, and I\u2019ll be posting them in that order. I \u201csat down\u201d with them before the events of <\/span>The Most Special Chosen<\/span><\/i>, so take the chance to get to know them before their lives change forever. Perhaps they\u2019ll grant me additional interviews after the release to find out how they\u2019re adjusting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure to subscribe to my blog<\/a> so you don’t miss any of the interviews. For now, I’ll leave you with a sneak peek of Selene’s portrait.<\/p>\n
