"Quinn's Undying Rose" is book six in Tina's Scanguards Vampires series
Tina, thank you so much for being
here. You are a writing inspiration to
so many and you taking the time for Ravishing Romances means a lot.
Q: You’ve just released your sixth
Scanguard Vampire novel featuring Quinn and Rose. How many more do you plan to write?
A:
I have no specific number in mind. It
really depends on what interesting characters I can create to keep Scanguards
going. I’m definitely planning books for Oliver, Thomas and Eddie, Cain,
possibly Blake, and Wesley. But there might be others down the road.
Q: Quinn and Rose’s story is
heartbreaking. She had their daughter,
but never told him. That’s a sad storyline to handle. Was it hard for you
to write Quinn dealing with the pain?
A:
I found it very difficult to understand
those feelings. I don’t have children myself, so whenever it comes to
storylines where children are involved, I’m having a harder time “feeling” what
my characters are feeling. It’s hard for me to grasp what it must be like for a
father not to have known that he had a child.
Q: Were you ever worried that readers would
not forgive Rose for keeping Quinn’s daughter a secret from him?
A:
Yes. In fact, I discussed this with my
critique partner Grace at length. We went back and forth about what to do about
this issue. I had to find a compelling reason why Rose didn’t tell him, a
reason that nobody could fault her for, so that readers wouldn’t look upon her
too harshly. That’s why I made it a life and death situation.
Q: Readers are buzzing about Thomas. Does
he have his own story in the making?
A:
I know, I know. There isn’t a day that
goes by when I don’t get an email or a FB posting from a reader asking when
Thomas’s story is being released. So, yes, he will definitely get a book, but
it won’t be the next one. I’m not quite ready for an m/m romance. Don’t get me
wrong: I have a few gay friends, and I will definitely ask their advice, but
I’m not quite ready to write the story. I first have to figure out how much of
Thomas’s sexuality has to be on the page, ie. how explicit I can go with the
sex scenes without turning readers off.
Q: What do you say to readers who are
hesitant to read this because of Rose’s choice to keep their daughter a secret?
A: Well, there’s
really not much to say. Tastes differ, and everybody has their own favorite
when it comes to the Scanguards books. Let me say this about drama/literature:
if people always made the correct choices, agreed with everybody, and talked
everything out with their loved ones, there would be no conflict. And conflict
is essential for a good book or movie.
Back of the Book
Vampire bodyguard Quinn has lived the last 200 years as a playboy trying in vain to forget the only woman he has ever loved: his human wife Rose, who he believes to be dead.
But Rose is very much alive. Now a vampire herself, she has lived in hiding from Quinn all of these years, having faked her death to hide from him a terrible secret—one she knows would drive him to kill her.
When a powerful and evil vampire threatens to destroy Rose’s—and Quinn’s— only living descendent, she has no choice but to come out of hiding and ask for Quinn’s help. As Quinn struggles with the shock of Rose’s reappearance, and they reunite to battle a common foe, they rekindle the flames of their past. But will the passion that reignites between them be enough to overcome the secret that separates them?
