Synopsis:

Millennia ago, he fell from heaven for her.

Can he face her without falling again?

Fascinated with ancient civilizations, seventeen-year-old Mia Crawford dreams of becoming an archaeologist. She also dreams of wings—soft and silent like snow—and somebody trying to steal them.

When a horrible creature appears out of thin air and attacks her, she knows Michael Fontaine is involved, though he claims to know nothing about it. Secretive and aloof, Michael evokes feelings in Mia that she doesn’t understand. Images of another time and place haunt her. She recognizes them—but not from any textbook.

In search of the truth, Mia discovers a past life of forbidden love, jealousy and revenge that tore an angel from Heaven and sent her to an early grave. Now that her soul has returned, does she have a chance at loving that angel again? Or will an age-old nemesis destroy them both?

Ancient history is only the beginning.

Synopsis:

Now that she’s found him again, all Mia Crawford wants is some downtime with her fallen angel boyfriend, Michael. But the call of duty keeps him away—from school and from her—with more demons to smite than ever.

When Michael is mortally wounded by a cursed sword, Mia must perform an ancient blood ritual to save him. But the spell exacts a price. Haunted by visions of war, torture, and despair, Mia discovers the world is in more danger than she ever imagined. Behind the scenes, an evil adversary pulls all the strings.

After redemption, there’s Hell to pay.

Guest Post:

What about character development? I’m always interested in hearing about that! Or World Building would be cool! Would either of those topics work?

 

Three Tips for Character Development

1.      Do a Character Questionnaire

The first thing I do with characters is get to know them. I do this by asking questions. I start with a name, and where they live, something they carry in their pockets. Even though I don’ necessarily mention all the details I find out, they do inform my sense of the character, which then affects my writing. There are many great resources for character questionnaires out there. Here’s one of them: https://www.writingclasses.com/toolbox/character-questionnaire/gotham.

2.      Consider Setting

All characters exist within a world or setting of some sort. They have a home, a favorite place to hang out, or a place they go just to think. As I ask questions about your character, I start to get an idea about how their direct surroundings have affected them. If they have been to war, it would have an impact on them. If they have are wealthy or poor, that can affect their world view. Perhaps they live in another realm or dimension. All these things come into play when I’m creating a character.

Once I have a character in a world, I also consider the people around them. They have friends, family, a social hierarchy, or social order of some kind, that they exist within. Who are the characters friends? Do they have any enemies?  I make them care about something, or someone, that fuels their motivation.

3.      Flaws and Challenges

In order for a character to seem real, they need emotions, weaknesses and vulnerabilities. In a fantasy world, these weaknesses can be almost anything. What would challenge them? In The Watcher Saga, the angels have a risk of being infected with sin, which affects angels like a disease. Michael was once infected with lust and is recovering. He’s recovered from a terrible past but it still affects him. He’s also half-human, so he’s subject to human emotions more than his angelic colleagues. So he reacts to things more like a person would, which isn’t always ideal.

In any type of fiction, it’s the challenges the character must face that makes them compelling and relatable. The more flawed a character is, the more real they seem. Their flaws make them relatable. If the reader relates to the characters and the characters grow and evolve as the story progresses, then they will feel real to the reader.
