Interview, spotlight AND giveaway with M.A. Abraham


(Be sure to scroll to bottom after getting to know M.A. and enter the giveaway! Also be sure to join in on the fun at her Facebook event HERE! Even more AWESOME prizes to be won!! Good luck)

A.R. Hello M.A. thank you for visiting my blog and dealing with my randomness. I’m beyond happy to have you hear my friend! Now let the silliness commence! Oh and the questions J (only comment here if you’d like to).
Honored to be here, thank you for asking… and yes, I can do silly.


A.R.  Can you fake any accents?
I was told I sometimes sound like I come from Northern London (and no, I don’t know if that is good or bad)

A.R. Do you prefer card games or board games?
Depends on the game :D 

A.R. Do you do dance crazy when no one is looking?
Does Snoopy dances count?  Never mind, I do that when people are looking too.

A.R. If you throw a Blue stone into the blue sea what it will become?
A blue stone in a blue sea. 

A.R. What mythical creature would you want to be?
Right about now Elves sound like a good bet.  They live for thousands of years and don’t have to make excuses for the mischief they get into.
 
A.R. My favorite unusual food combination is:
Dill pickle chips and cherry coke?

A.R. Of all of the Gilligan's Island characters, I am most like (and tell us why):
There are times I can be like several of them… the professor, always looking for answers… Gilligan, I can be comical as well as a ditz if I am too far into a storyline and not watching what is going on around me.  The skipper, because ditzs frustrate me.

A.R. What is your favorite holiday (if you celebrate)?
Christmas… love the lights and the music.

A.R. What is something you cannot live without?
Can it be more than one?  Sunshine and sleep… if only one, humor.

A.R. Do you have nicknames?
A few… rolling eyes… The Godmother… Mistress of Ambush… The Auntie

A.R. Pen or pencil?
Pen… pencil rubs on on other paper and the side of my hand.

A.R. Do you have any pets?
One Snoop cat (Seal Point Siamese )

A.R. Do you have a favorite character from any of your works? Why?
Depends on what I am writing.  Favorite all the time as in one of?  No.

A.R. Do you have any projects in the works right now? Can you tell us about them?
I have several on the go.  I am working on Return of the Legend, book 5 of the Elven Chronicles… Embracing the Light… which is another Elven Christmas story… and I am reworking Theory in Depth and My Darling, Janice.

Which one would you like to know about?  Would you like an excerpt?  I need to know these things. 




Life Mate to a King (book 4 of the Elven Chronicles)




Excerpt from Life Mate to a King

Tári didn’t doubt that she was in trouble.  It showed in the way Reiss spoke and how his hand trembled as he motioned with it.  His voice sounded wobbly.   She tried to do as he ordered but found herself unable to move.  She had never been so scared in her life.  She looked at the battle birds and she swore she could see her death in their eyes.  They could and would kill her with very little provocation.  She was sure of that.

Tári was so caught in the web of terror her mind had spun around itself that she never noticed when the other members of Reiss’ party joined them.  The hand that reached around her shoulder to gently remove the knife from her hand barely registered in her mind.  What did break through her self-induced paralysis were the hands and arms that turned her around before they pulled her into the safety of a possessive embrace.

“My love,” Garoldth’s voice was thick with pent up emotion.  Here in his arms he held his reason for breathing.  The mother of his daughters, his Life Mate, the one woman he would live and die for.  He would never let her out of his arms again.

Tári knew this touch and she wound her arms about Garoldth’s chest as she brought her hands up to curl around his shoulders.  She inhaled the scent of her Life Mate and caressed the outline of his chest with her cheek.  He had come back for her.  With eyes filled with tears of joy she cried out for her love.

“Garoldth.”

A heartbeat later their lips merged.  They held tight to each other, as if they were afraid they would be forced to part again.

“Wow,” Branith gave a soft whistle in awe.  “As the designated cupid I am sure I should be taking notes.  Anyone care to time this?”

Helix grinned as he watched the reunion while Calix smacked Branith on the back of the head.  Reiss grinned as he wrapped an arm around Nyra’s shoulders and drew her closer so he could tuck her against his side.

“I believe we can safely assume our father has found his Life Mate.”

“I have no more doubts as to how he managed to father twelve sons either.”  Branith added as he ignored Calix’s hit.  He added.  “Almost forgot.  Two daughters.  Any of you meet your sisters yet, or at least see them.”

“Not yet.”  Eanor admitted with a show of interest.

“Beautiful girls.  Warning, don’t ever cross Aredhel.  Even Demons run from that Elf.  Gilraen is the polar opposite.  She is the sweetest maiden you could ever meet.”  Branith informed them.

  6. I have to admit to being shocked ...
    I didn't think that the world could handle the incredible combination of A.R. Von and M.A. Abraham if they ever got together ... BUT they did, and the planet survived! Heck, there haven't even been any major earthquakes all day today ...
