HERO interview from THE SEPARATION by @StormyRussell @Evernightteen @bloggerbees #Amazongiveaway


We are so thrilled to have an interview
 today with the HERO of The Separation !! 




Did you ever think that your life would end up being in a book?
-I do my best to avoid attention… so no.


What are your favorite scenes in your book: the action, the dialog or the romance?
-The action of course. Romance is… complicated in my world.


Did you have a hard time convincing your author to write any particular scenes for you?
-Yes. She was heartbroken when she had to-- well, I guess I shouldn’t say.


What do you like to do when you are not being actively read somewhere?
- Riding my motorcycle as fast as it will go, fixing things, and avoiding people.


If you could rewrite anything in your book, what would it be?
- Chapter 21. Well, part of chapter 21.


Do you like the way the book ended?
- No. But I’ll get my revenge.


Would you be interested in a sequel, if your writer was so inclined?
- Already on it;


What is your least favorite characteristic your writer has attributed to you?
- She says I’m afraid of emotion. Emotion is overrated.


What is your greatest fear?
- I fear nothing.


What do you wear when you go to sleep?
Bare chest, sleep shorts.


Who was your first girlfriend and what do you like most about them?
- Well, considering that Ero and I nearly killed each other the first time we met, just being friends has been hard enough. I have to admit, though… She is really something.


What do you think your greatest weakness is?
- I can’t protect everyone.


What is something no one knows about you?  Why do you keep it a secret?  And what would happen if everyone found out about it?
- You sound like Ero. These quesstions are getting a little… personal.


What is your vivid memory of your mother and father?
- Don’t mention my father. Ever.


 What other profession would you like to try?
-Having a normal life, not running from a madman who wants to kill me and my friends.


Would you ever use a voodoo doll to hurt anyone?
I don’t have to. I have fists for that.


What is your most favorite memory?
- The day I got adopted.


Thanks again for visiting with us today !!!!

The Separation
Stormy Corrin Russell

Evernight Teen, 83k words
Distopian, Sci-Fi, Romance


In a world where men and women live on separate sides of a massive wall, seventeen year old misfit Eroyn Fairchild has always been too busy with her broken family to wonder why they live the way they do. 

When a man from the other side breaks through, Ero holds him hostage, hoping for a ransom large enough to pay for her Elder Grace’s treatment. Things get more complicated as the man is followed by two others who make Ero question everything she’s ever known about her life. 

As Ero searches for the truth, the lines between right and wrong blur, leaving her to choose between saving her city and saving herself.

Teaser: 
One of the things I love about Grace is that she is the heaviest sleeper I know. So heavy, in fact, she doesn’t hear me dragging a thrashing body through the front door at two in the morning. For the first time in my life, I consider it lucky that we live on the outskirts of the north side. If we didn’t, I would never have been able to get it this far without attracting attention. A loud, confused sound starts to come from the net, so I kick it firmly.
        “Shut up,” I hiss, looking around nervously. I’m not worried about Grace rousing, but I don’t want the neighbors waking up and noticing my noisy cargo. I kick twice more, as hard as I can. Silence, finally. With a sigh, I wipe my arm across my forehead, getting rid of the sweat beading there. I sink down on the couch, staring at the large lump inside the net on my living room floor unblinkingly. Little red flowers are blooming all over the heavy white plastic, and they grow quickly. It’s blood, I realize with a sick feeling. It’s seeping through from the inside and leaking onto the clean white carpet of our house. It can’t be real. It just can’t be.
I see Almond cut across the room and sniff at the lump with caution. With one movement, I scoop him up and press him to my chest in horror. For the first time, I realize the danger of what I've just done. I’ve invited a monster into my house.
        I’ve made a horrible, horrible mistake.
It takes Luna ten minutes to get here five minutes faster than usual but it feels like hours. She lets herself in the back door quietly, but I rush into the kitchen to meet her.
        “Where’s Grace?” she asks with urgency, dropping her medical bag on the kitchen table.
        “What? No, I … this isn’t about Grace,” I stutter. I open my mouth once, then again, but it’s no use. Nothing is coming out, so I turn on my heel and tiptoe into the living room. Luna wordlessly follows, eyeing the netted form. I kneel next to it, holding my breath. With shaking hands, I slide the knife into the plastic and pull it upwards slowly. I know what it’s going to reveal when I pull the plastic away, but it still makes my breath leave my lungs in an audible whoosh. I can’t seem to inhale again once it’s gone. I hear Luna do the same next to me.
        “Is it a…?” She leaves her sentence unfinished, and I nod. The small slit I cut in the plastic shows a thick arm under a rolled-up shirt, far too thin for our recently nasty winter. At the very end of the slit, I glimpse a swollen throat and a jaw covered in a dark shadow of hair. A chill runs down my spine and my stomach turns.
        “Is he alive?” Luna asks, her voice small.
        “I … I think so.” I stare at the floor guiltily. “I kicked him pretty hard to shut him up.” She scoots closer and with trembling fingers folds back the plastic to see his side, where most of the blood is coming from.
        “Cut the rest of it off him,” she tells me quietly. I stare at her in shock.
        “But, he––” She cuts me off with a look.
        “He isn’t dead yet, but he will be if I don’t stop the blood loss.”
        I swallow hard, and comply.
