Author Interview & Giveaway - Aleron by Kane

Aleron arose from his slumber and she was gone. Aleron was alone—his heart empty for his maker had deserted him. The only reminder was an ancient book he can’t decipher and Minea’s ever faithful human servant, Eliza.

Minea watched him closely, she knew he would be the one, her new King—Aleron. She made him in secrecy and for decades she has nurtured him in the ways of the Vampire. He must be strong for she knew the time would come for her to leave him. Her beloved Aleron.

Vlad’s temper was growing. How dare Minea disappear for decades? He is the beginning, the father of them all, no Vampire dare to defy him. Those who have tried no longer bare the mark of immortality.

Pandora will not bow down to Minea—for she was made first. Minea will not garner the respect of queen, not from her nor from her personal coven. Pandora knows Minea is hiding something. She has seen for herself. Something Vlad has strictly forbidden.

Today please welcome Kane to Immortality and Beyond.  Kane is the author of Aleron and has taken time out to chat with me today,  and to offer you a chance to win a copy of Aleron in PDF. 

Welcome to the Round Table. May I offer you a beverage before we begin?

Absolutely. Dirty Martini (Filthy). Do you mind if a very special guest joins us tonight?

He needs no introduction. Simply call him Aleron and he’s not thirsty....for a beverage.

For you Kane.

For you Aleron...Our special select.....wine.  Welcome and enjoy.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for taking time to chat with me today. It's so nice to have you both at the Round Table.

BK: Please tell us a bit about yourself....

Kane: I would have to say I am an infant compared to the information unearthed by my new friend. I now understand that my years in corporate America, my degree in mathematics and psychology mean very little to life. I thought I was living; however I was wrong.

BK: What inspired you to pen this novel?

Kane: Getting to know my new friend and learning of his travels and experiences have left me awe struck. I live now to share this information with all who will listen. Besides, would you tell a vampire no?

BK:  I see your point.

BK: How do you keep your writing different from all the other novels in this genre?

Kane: Simple, I’m a good listener. People want to here fantastical stories that are believable. I also listened to the unspoken we they speak.

BK: Who is your favorite character and why?

Kane: My favorite character would have to be Aleron himself. He was taken from humanity and forced into darkness where he thrived and adapted to a life of death eternal. And though he is tormented by the longings of his heart, he continues to persevere.

BK: Which character would you most invite to dinner?

Kane: I must say Raya. She’s my kinda girl, so to speak.

BK: Any advice for new aspiring authors?

Kane: Never stop writing and look everywhere for inspiration.

    BK:  What inspired your book to be a series? More tales to tell.

Kane: The life and struggles of immortal beings are monumental and need to be told.

    BK:  How difficult is it to write a series?

Kane: Simply takes more time and more character development.

    BK:  What is your favorite part about writing?

Kane: Writing allows me to withdraw from what is normal and typical of life’s rat race. I can tell fantastical tales from the perspective of a narrator with little twist and turns that I add.

    BK:  Do you have a favorite book in the series?

Kane:  Nope.

    BK:  Who is your favorite character? Which one would you most likely invite to dinner?

Kane:  I would invite Sinaa. Nuff said!

    BK:  Are you finding yourself running into any challenges while writing this series?

Kane:  Keeping it to only five books.

    BK:  Where do you draw your inspiration from?

Kane: The world of the undead has been an interest of mine for many years. Only now it is all I think about.

     BK:  How did you come up with the title for your series?

Kane: Strigoi embodies them. They are the undead, thus Strigoi.

BK. Can you tell us about any projects you are currently working on?
