Hope Irving | The Ultimate Female Warrior
Ever since I watched the TV series, Iβve always been fascinated by
Wonder Woman. Lynda Carter really pulled off that tiara-camisole-shorts look
which could have been ridiculous on anyone else⦠Her version of a demigoddess
warrior princess was amazing. Warrior? Yes, Wonder Woman is a warrior with
awesome god-forged weapons that canβt be referred as gadgets. How cool is her
Lasso of Truth, indestructible bracelets, razor-edged throwing weapon-tiara? And
what about her silent and invisible plane controlled by mind?
Wonder Woman, Princess of Themyscira, aka Diana Prince, is definitely the
ultimate female warrior. An Amazon who inspired me when I began writing about
Rose, the female lead character of my New Adult paranormal love story, the Black Angel Book
series.
Although twenty-two-year old Rose starts out as a
heart-broken, emotionless cutter in TWICE UPON A TIME (Book 1
in the series), she grows into a stronger woman facing emotions and facts sheβs
not quite equipped to deal with...until she is.
Step by step Rose gains strength, overcome her fears and learns to embrace her
challenges head on. Thatβs no surprise why she chooses to dress as Wonder Woman
to her cousinβs Halloween party in DEADLY EVER AFTER (Book 2),
that was released on June 2nd. She picks an alternate costume version
yet her attitude fits the character.
As the series unfolds, Rose is no longer scared or numb, she fights. For truth.
For justice. For love. She stops overthinking and overanalyzing everything
before actingβ¦a more masculine way to handle life, a more feminist way, I think.
An Amazon.
Rose realizes that sheβs the one holding the key to her life, nobody can make it
happen but her. That doesnβt mean sheβs happier alone, far from it. Rose
understands that she needs to be at peace with herself and believe in herself to
fulfill her unorthodox fairytale.
And since itβs a romance series, her fairytale leads her to a roller coaster of
emotions, most of them due to her not so typical prince. ONCE UPON A
DREAM (Book 3) and MADLY EVER AFTER (Book 4), soon to be released in
2016, will give other twists and turns to their love story. Each of them is a
strong main characters yet theyβll become even stronger together.
My goal was to bring multi-layered characters, such as Rose and her prince, to
the readers. Characters who have weaknesses and flaws. Characters who fight for
what they think is right. Thatβs probably why none of them are quite what they
appear to be in the beginning of the series. I hope youβll enjoy reading about
them as much as I enjoyed writing the series.
Happy reading!
I, Virgil, know that people prefer to remember the happily ever after ending
rather than the dark side in every fairytale. I know better. I learned about the
dark side of those stories and the consequences. The fairytale I inherited from
the Irish star-crossed lovers didn't turn out so well the first time. I had a
shot at bringing the souls of the monk and the witch back together last summer
and I failed miserably.
How foolish of me to believe in the awakening of the princess thanks to the
handsome prince's kiss when I am no prince! Sharing our true nature with Rose,
my clueless soulmate, is a necessary evil. I am on a mission. I trust my soul
and our attraction to succeed. I don't trust Bruce, her providential knight in
shining armor. He's not who he claims to be. Rose can't be with him. She can
only fight our chemistry and her growing magical powers for so long. I need to
step back into her life. Woo her, with a vengeance. I'm deadly serious.
I, Rose, used to be numb, until I discovered what it was to feel again,
thanks to Virgil. He messed up my mind and overwhelmed my heart with unknown
sensations. For once, I was willing to welcome some of those irrational
emotions. It's unfortunate that Virgil's indecisions sent me to New York with my
summer fling.
How foolish of me to believe in the perfect fairytale Bruce offered me when I
am no princess! Some say I am an Amazon. My mind is content with my life but my
heart yearns for the wolf to change its course. What if I decide to be an Amazon
princess? I'm deadly serious.
Could we actually be soulmates, brought back together by an ancient spell,
destined to embrace this unorthodox fairytale and a happy ending? That
would be deadly wicked.
