Blog Tour: Guest Post by Author Lorenz Font
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR?
I’m excited, nervous and hopeful. And I’ve been getting a
lot of those ‘feeling like I’m going to pee in my panties soon’ moments.
Joking aside, I can honestly say that the reality hasn’t
sunk in yet. I’m sure once it does, I’ll probably do the one thing that helps
me when I get nervous or overwhelmed, grab a glass of wine and talk to my
support group.
Apart from the work I’ve done so far, it’s been mostly
getting ready, making sure all loose ends are tied up nicely and revising the
next manuscript due to the house soon. I’m looking forward to finding out what
the readers think of Hunted and that’s pretty much it.
Being a published author is comparable to giving birth. Of
course, I’m sure a lot of you won’t agree with my analogy, but that’s what it feels
like so far. You give birth (aka finished a novel), then the whole waking up at
night begins (edits) and burping (more edits) follow. Don’t get me wrong. I
love it and have enjoyed the whole experience, just like I love my children. So
yeah, that’s exactly how I feel right now.
It’s going to be a long journey and I intend to enjoy every
minute of it. Ask me again after the whole reality has caught up with me, and
by then, I’ll be able to give a more in-depth answer.
At the very least, I get to see my name in print. A writer’s
dream!
Excerpt
“There really isn’t a second scenario, we’re dead
set and conceptually right about the first one.” Pritchard chuckled. Harrow
hissed under his breath, unable to control his hunger any longer. “You need to
feed. I know Tor rudely interrupted your dinner. Intel confirms that needle in
your pocket, meant you’re not advocating the spread of the disease, am I
right?”
Harrow shuddered before nodding. His could feel
his strength fading and there wasn’t a damn thing he could do about it. This
human, in all of his infinite wisdom, should give him his neck and be done
with.
“I know what you’re thinking Harrow,” Pritchard
laughed without humor. “I’m not the enemy here, or your dinner. I will take you
to a cell for now, where you will be fed donated blood until we find a cure for
that ailment. Neither of you are
prisoners here, but until we are certain that you’re not a threat to us humans,
you will not be allowed to move around freely.”
Pritchard rose to his feet. “Follow me,” he told
Harrow.
“What about these damn cuffs on our leg, we’re not
animals you know.” Tor said and his voice thundered through the room. He was already up on his feet and facing off
with Lambert, who was sporting a push dagger, notably of Dangeran material.
“They are trackers, in case you are out there,”
Lambert motioned with his hand. “We will know how to find you.”
“Just like we’re dogs, right?” Tor said
distastefully.
“Yes, but very special dogs,” Lambert said,
taunting as he grabbed Tor’s elbow and shoved him forward to follow Pritchard
and Harrow. They were already walking
down the long corridor that eventually led them to a windowless suite. The
furnishings were top-rated, lavish to be exact. There were two king-sized beds,
a state of the art sound system sitting next to a giant television, expensive
looking art adorned the wall, and plush carpeting to boot.
About the Book
Deep in the heart of New York City’s underworld, a horrible disease is ravaging the vampire community. The Vampire Council is on a crusade to obliterate those infected, and Harrow Gates is target Number One. The unwitting source of the plague, he suffers from the same nightmarish symptoms as his victims. The world he'd been thrust into was cold, cruel, and intent on eradicating him, and the legions of afflicted vampires he created with his bite. A bounty hanging over his head, satisfying his hunger has become an enormous challenge for Harrow. The less he feeds, the more hideous and painful his lesions become. Constantly running for his life and learning new tricks to survive, Harrow is in no position to refuse when Pritchard Tack offers him a unique opportunity. Pritchard not only gives Harrow a new beginning, but also a purpose and a chance to rectify the chaos he created in the vampire world. However, the multi-billionaire has an agenda of his own. Jordan is a reluctant new vampire and a woman on a mission. After the demise of her family and her own transformation at the hands of Goran, the ruthless leader of the Vampire Council, her only focus is revenge. Constantly faced with one frustrating dead-end after another, a stroke of luck leads her to an underground facility that she suspects is the lair of the monster for whom she is looking. Upon learning more about the truth behind the secret bunker, Jordan must fight against her growing feelings of friendship and concern for the facility’s inhabitants. One man in particular threatens to pull her heart away from her sworn mission. There is something behind Harrow’s dark lenses that unsettles the hardened female. Once again, she trembles and hungers for something other than red-stained revenge. Is love strong enough to override her hate-fueled thirst for vengeance?
About the Author
Lorenz Font discovered her love of writing after reading a celebrated novel that inspired one idea after another. Hunted, the first book of The Gates Legacy trilogy, is her debut novel. Written in forty-five days, the grueling writing schedule was a personal challenge, even though she thought it was madness at first. She enjoys dabbling in different genres with an intense focus on angst and the redemption of flawed characters. Her fascination with romantic twists is a mainstay in all her stories. She currently lives in California with her husband, children, and two demanding dogs. Lorenz spends most of her free time writing while also working as a Business Office Manager for a skilled-rehabilitation hospital.
