Taige is here today with a short interview. Welcome to Romance Book Craze Taige!
Tell
us your latest news?
I had 2 release last
month. Silken Inferno and Dark Callings which are
book 2 and 3 in my Phoenix
Intelligence Agency series.
I’m also hard at work
with books in my various series. I have some more releases later this year.
When
and why did you begin writing?
I’ve been making up stories from time I was a child. I started writing from time I was a child. I used to write fairytales as a kid. :)
I used to write then get the family to sit and listen to
me.
And yes I remember my first story I wrote it was a story of a
princess saving a silly prince. {Grin} Even then my heroine’s were butt kicking
and saving along with hero. Since then I’ve keep
writing because I have too. The stories fill my head and I have to tell them.
When
did you first consider yourself a writer?
Hmmmm…from the first story I told when I was a
child. I wanted to have people swept up
in my story and wanting to come along on a journey with me. My family was my
first readers and then eventually my friends. Now I write and share to a wider
set of readers. Each time I am able to share a story I am blessed. Reading is
an adventure and I love being able to give someone that journey.
What
inspired you to write your first book?
I wanted to make up my own fairytales.
Do
you have a specific writing style?
Nope I don’t have a specific writing style. I just
write what my characters tell me. They control the story and how it unfolds.
How
did you come up with the title?
The title
Dark Callings is
multilayered. It comes from what the type of being a hero is - a Shadower. He
walks in the shadows and they call to him. Also the other layer of the title of
about the couple of Lennox - my hero- and Harmony - my heroine-who have a
destiny that is intertwined. They have a calling to each other that is destined
and combined in the shadows. There is a beauty to the shadows where dark plays
with light mixing then fading until there is only... Dark Callings.
Is
there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
Dark Callings has a combination
of underlying messages. Lennox is a man who thinks because of the being he is, he
does not dare hope for the woman who he wants.
Lennox is a Shadower - a race of beings who are feared and other beings
don’t trust them. Harmony is a woman who is determined enough to get beyond the
defenses of a stubborn man. She doesn’t care about what others think or that
Lennox himself isn’t sure if he can trust himself. There is a darkness in him
and Lennox doesn’t want it to affect her. But Harmony sees the good in him even
if Lennox does not. He underestimates her and she gets beyond his defenses.
Dark Callings is about
belief in someone other than yourself, going out on faith and letting go to let
someone else in to help you carry your burdens. Most importantly, the main
underlying message in Dark Callings is about
the power of love.
In closing, I want to
thank you for letting me guest and talk about my book. Thanks to the readers for coming by.

When faced with
your destined bond you either accept or face the consequences.
Harmony Davis knows what she wants. No one,
even the man himself will stand in her way. Lennox might think it is best to
not pursue their attraction but she has foreseen that she cannot be without
him. Now she must convince this stubborn man who would rather be alone in the
shadows than face their combined destinies. She has a plan but he is not
cooperating. Subtlety goes out the window and she confronts him giving him no
retreat from what must be.
Lennox S’chaech longs for her touch. Enjoys
her wonderful spirit and giving nature yet he knows he cannot taint her with
his darkness. He hadn’t counted on Harmony’s stubbornness. She finds ways to
intertwine their lives so he has no escape. Although if he would admit it he
wasn’t fighting to hard to get away. But he will not take that final step and
meld them in that irreversible way.
When resistance meets determination it will
melt under a Dark Callings.

Thanks for the interview with Taige - I didn't realize she had two books release this month. I haven't started this series yet but it does look really interesting. I like the multi-cultural or different species type books best because it shows us that no matter what - love will always find a way to bring us together if we let it. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the release of your latest books. Intrigued by the sound of the "Shadowers".
ReplyDeleteThanks for that great interview with Taige. I didn't realize that this was the third book in the series. ve fallen behind. I must catch up fast!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new release. Can't wait to read it.
Congrats on your book! Sounds so good! And wonderful interview. I love heros that are somewhat damaged. The heroine sweeps in and heals him. This sounds like a fascinating book! I love it when the book hints at whats to come but theres still a bit of mystery! I cant wait to see what Lennoxs character holds!! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your release. You are a new to me author but DARK CALLINGS sounds really good. I love how the story sounds very complex, layered. And how you said that you just write what the characters tell you to :)
