Urban Fantasy Week: Jennifer Rardin
Urban Fantasy Week
What a great idea this is! With vamps, weres, and zombies flying around the Internet like viral videos, I wish we could all dress up like our favorite monsters and drink bubbling hot chocolate out of honest-to-goodness cauldrons while we do this deal. Hang on, lemme get my fangs…
And no, that’s not the reason some form of the word “bite” appears in every title of the books in the Jaz Parks series. Nothing fake about the canines on my vampires. Especially my hero, a nearly three hundred-year-old Rom (that’s the don’t-punch-me word for gypsy) named Vayl, who’s decided the only way he can tolerate his own company in the 21st century is to blend. Rub shoulders with humans, even work with them day-to-day as if he doesn’t constantly crave their rich, red blood. How’s he pull it off?
That’s part of what you learn as you move through the series with him and his partner, Jaz. Yeah, they’ve got a bigger agenda. As assassins for the CIA? Huge.
In my latest book, Bite Marks, the goal is as monumental as ever. Eliminate the person who wants to destroy NASA’s Australian based eye-to-the-sky—without knowing his or her identity. Or why the gnomes who’ve orchestrated the whole event don’t recognize the shaman yanking their puppet strings.
I’ll tell you this about Vayl. If somebody had been jerking him around, he’d have frozen those strings like icicles and turned the marionette master into an ice sculpture. Because he’s cool like that. Until he lays his smoldering green eyes on you and then it’s all hot breath and whispered promises from dusk until dawn. Wanna meet him? Here’s your chance!
