Character Blog Mondays: Today with Juliana

Character blog Mondays

Character Mondays are days on the blog in which a character "posts" to tell their opinion a matter or give their own account of something.  Take these posts for what they are, but they are really an even better way for you to open yourself up to new characters.  Characters are chosen from my projects; information about them is brought forth before they begin speaking as they shall.  Please remember during these posts the character --not me--is speaking his/her mind so you are able to introduce yourself to them.  Enjoy!

Name: Juliana

Gender: Female

Age: early 20s

Status: Desires to be in a relationship with Daray

Current location of residence: Malvagio’s Palace

Featured in the book(s): Arisen Darkness, Passion & Affection series

Want to read more about Juliana.  Join the mailing list for Arisen Darkness and be one of the many to hear about it the day it releases.  Premier goes live December 1^st.

          It’s almost ironic how easily you can fall for a man, and you fall even faster when he shows interest towards you.  If only love could be so simple…

          I watch Daray from where I sit.  A frown is upon his face—sometimes I consider this may never change—and he sits alone in the dark corner of the room.  I want to go to him; there surely is something I could say.  However, I think otherwise.  I tell myself to remain where I am, and this seems reasonable since Malvagio always has an eye on matters.  As if knowing my thoughts went to him for a second, Malvagio appears out of nowhere and places his hand on my shoulder.

          “A gloomy day…” He says.  I wait, but he does not say anything more.  After a week being here I have not gotten used to his odd comments that never have closure.

          “How so?” I ask, though I agree with him entirely.

          He smirks and walks over to Daray.  They speak for a minute, and then Malvagio continues on his way.  I only watch him until he is out of sight because I could care less where he is going to.  Strangely enough Daray comes to sit beside me.  I try to not act surprised, but goose bumps cover my arms.  He looks at me with his head titled, as if trying to decide if I am mad or simply strange.

          There is whistling from further down the hallway, though I know it to be Malvagio.  As I turn to ask Daray a question I realize he has already left me.  I look and surely enough he had returned to the dark corner of the room.  Why does he sit in the corner?  For how much longer will he do that?  What has made him this way?

          “Juliana, Juliana, Juliana…” Malvagio sings as he walks by me yet again.

          There is something evil in that man.  I have known that since the first day I arrived here, yet each day I am convinced furthermore to believe this as the truth.  Each day I see his acts against everything pure and precious in the world… each moment there are similar acts Daray wishes to commit.  He needs to leave this place; I am desperate to tell him this because if I do not soon I fear I shall never be able to leave.  Besides that, he will never admit his feelings for me… Whatever feelings he has left…

Name: Kerrich

Gender: Male

Age: 20

Status: In a relationship with Jocelyn

Current location of residence: Clare Castle

Occupation: Squire

Featured in the book(s): STRONGER

The book goes public December 1^st so join the mailing list if you want updates.

       I try to think of something that will comfort her, but my words seem meaningless.  Her own father does not believe her, and I as stand with this knife in my hand I wonder what I can do for her.  Is she angry with me?  I can understand if she is, for in these times of confusion and misunderstanding it seems all I’ve continued to tell her is of how far my feelings extend for her.

       As we stand in the darkness I try to think of something to say.  Anything that could make her feel better.  Something to reassure her.  Instead I say the only words that will leave my mouth.

       “You look ill, love.” I tell her this as if she does not already know. However, I am not exaggerating.  Her skin has turned deathly pale and she appears as if she might faint at any given moment.  I want to reach out to her, but I am uncertain whether she will allow me or no.

       She simply nods in agreement and walks over to where I stand.  She wraps her arms around me and I pull her in close to me.  I do not want to let her go, for now I fear what she must face.  Another attempt has been made to end her life.  By chance she had lived this time, but what about the next times?  What if someone—God forbid—tried again?

       “Do not leave me, dearest.” She pleads with me, though she speaking with her face rubbed against my tunic.

       “You need not say that, gemstone, for I shall never think to leave you even once.” I turned my face and pushed it into her auburn hair.

       “I love you.” I whispered.

       “I love you, too.” She titled my face towards hers and kissed me.  As our lips touched, shouting began…

Character Blog Mondays: Today with Mary

Name: Mary Williams

Gender: Female

Age: Late 30s

Status: Married with one daughter

Current location of residence: England, late 1650s

Occupation: Homemaker

Religion: Quaker (Society of Friends)

Featured in the books: Writing Saves Your Thoughts

Go on the mailing list so you’ll know when the book is public to read more about Mary.

            I do not believe Lilian will ever forgive me for what I have done.   Though she knows it is God who tells us to forgive those who have wronged, she shall never truly forgive me.  I do not expect anything more of her.  For all I know Daniel has become a different person.  I can only pray he will treat her well.

          She’s so young she cannot understand what is occurring around her.  How do you explain hate to a 12 year old girl?  How do you tell her that other people view you as disgusting and sinful?  Even though she is miles away from me and I no longer have to tell her what is happening, I continue to ponder over it every day.  And every day I return to asking for God’s advice and His light that will guide me.  I have no one else I can confide in now since I am alone.

          Day after day I sit and watch the world pass me by.  Night by night I sneak to the place where we hold our meetings.  It is during the night I try to see the light in those who have become bitter and cruel.  Those who now burn our houses and arrest us to be thrown in jails.  I know there is a light in them, but it is very dim and soon to blow out.

          Time is of the essence.  I can feel it in the wind that enters my cold home now.  As I begin writing to Lilian I hear a noise…glass breaking…

Gender: Male
Age: 25
Current Location of Residence: Zyre
Occupation: Sun Magician
Featured in the books: The Guards of Fairyland; Everblue
Read more about Auran: read Everblue today

If there was ever a time when I was scared it was when I first met the man who assured me there was something different about me.  I had of course already determined this myself by having researched the mark that lay clearly marked on my wrist.  However, he had been so serious when he had told me there were seven others like me that I had been blown away.  It was as if God had sent him to tell me I needed to find these other seven.


I smirk as I think back to that now.  Everything that's happened...Everything that may very well happen.  It was long ago when I found out I was a magician and it was even longer ago when I determined how to act on that fact.
Elainia stands beside me, talking and carrying on without realizing that I've lost interest in what she is saying.  Mind you it is not only because the matter she speaks of bores me, but more so because in the corner of the garden we stand in is a man I do not recognize.  I had been watching him all this while; I suppose he had thought himself smart and sneaky, but his clean white tunic and silver pants made him stand out clear as day.
I tap Elainia on her arm as the man advances towards us.  Though he craws like an animal, he surely sees that I've spotted him by now.  I do not wait for a word from my partner; I walk up to the man and grab him by the neck of his tunic.  He struggles to be released and then whispers a word I've become much too familiar with.


I have gotten myself involved in another fight.  Dear God have mercy on me.


Interested in what you've read so far?  Request to hear from Auran again on Character Mondays.  Read the story this scene was inspired from: Everblue

Everblue was a book I found myself writing after starting the second book in the Lights trilogy, The Guards of Fairyland. I primarily took the new eight magicians in The Guards of Fairyland and created a book which went into details of their life before they knew they were magicians.
The book revolves around the main eight magicians who are said to be the greatest of all time.  However, these magicians themselves doubt this prophecy and began to question truth and destiny as they continue to get involved in more magical fights and so forth.
You can read the full story on inkpop, though it is going through revisions.  The Guards of fairyland unfortunately is not public yet, but if you would like to be notified when it does please let me know.

*new* Mondays are Character Blog Days

I decided that on Mondays on this blog will be character blog days in which I take a character from one of my books, introduce them, and then have them write up a post --so to speak--for the day.  Why?  Because it's a free country:)  Okay, that's lame.... I'm doing this because I think it'd be fun and then maybe it could get you interested in knowing more about the character.

That's my idea.  Yes, an idea I thought of at 1137pm.  Oh the madness....
