I’m thrilled to announce the release of an awesome new book that you Christian fantasy lovers will not want to miss. Adventure, danger, romance, dark creatures, life and death, and a strong and true message…you’ll find that and much more in The Fiercest Fight. Also…that cover is simply amazing – I dare you to disagree with me!
Without further ado, here’s a fun and tantalizing character interview between the author, Brent King, and the protagonist of The Fiercest Fight, Tristan.
Character Interview with Tristan
Brent:
Hey! This is the first post in a blog tour to celebrate the release my debut fantasy novel, The Fiercest Fight. I can’t think of a better way to start than with an interview of my protagonist, Tristan.
Tristan:
*leans back in his chair and runs his fingers through his hair*
But I’m going to ask the first question: Why did you give me your red hair? You must have known how my schoolmates would tease me.
Brent:
Yeah, I did. But all you have to know is how to smile and say, “I know. Isn’t it cool?” It’s a small price to pay for such a distinguishing feature.
Tristan:
*shifts in his seat*
Easy for you to say! The guys were relentless.
Brent:
So is that what you hate worst about life?
Tristan:
Well, not exactly.
*removes sunglasses, shifts glowing eyes*
It used to be, but unfortunately, life got more complex. My issues now make my red hair trouble seem juvenile.
Brent:
*squints into Tristan’s eyes* It sounds like you’ve grown up a bit then.
Tristan:
I had to.
Brent:
Was it scary?
Tristan:
*slips sunglasses back on and nods*
Sometimes.
You would be scared too if you had to face…uh…do you believe in monsters?
Brent:
I-well…
*twirls a pencil in between fingers*
I’m not sure…
Tristan:
You would if you were me.
Brent:
I would?
Tristan:
What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done to someone?
Brent:
I thought I was asking the questions.
*eyes twinkle*
Tristan:
*lifts up hand and stares at it, flexing his fingers*
Well, to answer my own question then, I’ve hurt people pretty bad. I wish the beast had never come to me. He’s a fearsome—
Brent:
Beast?
Tristan:
*nods*
You wouldn’t understand. It’s too…unbelievable. Even Pastor Mike had a hard time at first.
Brent:
Are you talking about a wildcat or a wolf?
Tristan:
*rises and shakes his head*
Much worse than that! This creature would make you believe in God…or at least search for Him.
Brent:
I do believe in God. Do you?
Tristan:
Yes.
He offered me life or death. It wasn’t easy, but I chose death.
Brent:
*rises and shakes Tristan’s hand*
That’s a bit cryptic, but I wanted it that way.
*grins*
Tristan:
Thanks a lot!
Brent:
*calls after Tristan as he exits*
You’re welcome, and thanks for the chance to ask a few questions.
Well, there you have it: a few words with my protagonist. If you have any further questions for him, don’t hesitate to leave them below. I’ll make sure he answers them.
