Today you get a two for one special! Mostly because I can't say no to a blogfest, especially when one of my favorite movies comes to mind for it. But first up is the awesome Chrys Fey here to interview the main character from her new book, Witch of Death. Take it away!!!
* * *
Chrys Fey here. I stole a spot on Sarah’s blog. I hope
you don’t mind. And I honestly don’t think you will because I am interviewing
the heroine from Witch of Death, Liberty Sawyer. She’s a witch!
Hey,
Libby, it’s been a while. I brewed some chamomile tea and have some ginger
cookies waiting for us on the porch. Shall we?
Lead the way, Chrys. It’s a beautiful day.
Yes,
it is and our readers want to know some things about you. I hope you don’t mind
if I ask you a few questions.
Not at all. I’m an open book. Literally.
1.
When did you find out you were a witch?
When I was born, my mother held me in her arms and
whispered, “Welcome to the world, my darling witch. Happy birthday and blessed
be.” So I have known I was a witch from the time I was born, but Mom made sure
to pass on the witchy gene way before then. While pregnant with me, she made
sure to include my presence whenever casting a circle or spell. I guess you
could say I’ve been doing magick since I was an embryo.
2.
How did you get the name Liberty?
My parents are both witches and they believe a name is a
powerful affirmation. They wanted to give me a name that was strong and could
offer me realms of possibilities in life. Thus, I became Liberty, but people
call me Libby.
3. What
was it like growing up as a witch?
At times, it was lovely. The Wiccan religion, which
focuses on nature and Earth, is beautiful. I enjoyed learning everything my
parents taught me. But other times, it was tough. I’ve always had black hair
and pale skin, and for some reason everyone took that as a sign that I was an
evil witch. I didn’t have many friends growing up because of that.
4.
Does being a witch count as a pro or a con for being a detective?
I think it’s both. It’s a pro because I often get visions
of murders, which helps me greatly with my cases. But it’s also a con when
other detectives look at you down their noses and refuse to work with a
psychic.
5.
Can you tell us about the case you’re working on now?
This case is strange. The victim is a male witch and not
only was he killed with magick, he was killed by another witch. I don’t know
why and I don’t know who, but I’ll find out if it’s the last thing I do!
Except, Reid is an obstacle I did not anticipate.
6.
Who’s Reid?
Detective Reid Sanders is a pain in my Wiccan behind!
He’s a close-minded Muggle (Thanks, J.K. Rowling!) who can’t see magick when
it’s smacking him in the face. We have to work together to catch this witch of
death, but he’s being an idiot and thinks I’m a suspect.
7.
Why in the world would he think you’re a suspect?
Because I’m a witch and he doesn’t trust me. I could
understand his suspicion if I wasn’t a detective, but I am and I take my job
very seriously. I could hate him if only he wasn’t so damn sexy.
8.
What’s a common misconception about witches?
That we’re evil. Witches believe in harming none.
We never do spells that’ll negatively impact another person or take away their
free will. Well, we usually don’t but this witch of death is the exception.
Unfortunately, there are some bag eggs just like there are for every religion.
Witches also believe in the Law of Three, which states whatever we do comes
back to us threefold. Any good witch is cautious of what they do because of
this, and also because we all think life on Earth is sacred.
Thanks
for chatting with me today, Libby.
No
problem, Goddess Chrys. Blessed be!
Goddess?
Hey, now! I like that! *wink*

Blurb:
Detective Reid Sanders doesn’t believe in the
supernatural, but when he’s faced with a crime scene that defies the laws of
nature, he has no other choice but to start believing. And solving a magical
murder involves working with a witch.
Liberty Sawyer embodies the look of your classic evil
witch, so, it’s no surprise when she uncovers the murderer is a witch that she
becomes Reid’s number one suspect. If she can’t convince him otherwise, more
people could lose their lives to dark magic, including her.
Available for PRE ORDER:
Excerpt:
Liberty Sawyer glided swiftly through the horde of police
officers, reporters, and on- lookers. Black hair fell from a rigid part in the
middle of her scalp to her hips. Her eyes were a soul-stabbing blue and her
lips were blood-red. She towered over the other officers on the scene, and wore
all black, which set off the pallor of her skin.
Showing her badge to the officer, she slipped under the
crime scene tape. A few paces away, she spotted Detective Corbin talking to his
new partner, a man she knew by name but hadn’t had the privilege of meeting
yet.
“I cannot believe you called her,” the new man was saying
when she came up behind them. “We don’t need a damn psychic!”
“Actually, I’m a witch.” She smiled when Reid jolted and
turned to face her. “I’m Detective Liberty Sawyer." She stuck out her hand.
“Detective Reid Sanders,” he grunted back and took her
hand.
The feel of his palm against hers sent tingles of lust
from the tips of her fingers to her shoulder blade, and she knew he felt it too
by the way he jerked his hand back. She winked at him playfully, hoping it
would unnerve him even more.
ALSO AVAILABLE:
Blurb:
Jolie Montgomery, a twenty-one-year-old woman, wakes up
in an alley next to her corpse. She has no memories of her murder or the night

Wanting justice, Jolie seeks answers in the only way a ghost can...by stalking
the lead detective on the case.
Avrianna Heavenborn is determined to find the person
responsible for a young woman’s death. She gets closer to the killer’s identity
with every clue she uncovers, and Jolie is with her every step of the way.
But if they don’t solve her murder soon, Jolie will be an
earth-bound spirit forever.

All right, I'm back! Today is also the day for The Blood, Boobs & Carnage Blogfest, hosted by Alex J. Cavanaugh and Heather M. Gardner! We’re supposed to share a movie, TV show, or book that falls into those three categories. While I couldn’t think of anything at first, I eventually realized that one of my favorite movies fits this perfectly! Plus...it’s a musical!!! Bet you didn’t see that one coming, did you?
Blood? Most definitely.
Boobs? I’d say there’s a decent amount of cleavage, at least.
Carnage? Well, lots of people die and get ground up and baked into meat pies. Does that count????
I’m usually quite squeamish but there’s just something about this movie that makes me able to handle it. It’s probably the singing…
Have you checked out Chrys' new books? Anyone else love Sweeney Todd? Don't forget to sign up for The Muse Party Blogfest! It's happening next Monday!
