Characters in The Trouble with Demons
I finished the copyedits on The Trouble with Demons on Sunday afternoon, but didn't have time to email them back to my editor in New York until last night. But now that it's off my desk, I can get back to writing Bewitched & Betrayed. Uh . . . I think I'm on Chapter 5. But I'm going to give it a read-thru from the beginning tonight to get myself back up to speed.
Today's reader question comes from Simone; she wants to know what kind of new characters will be in TTWD.
Of course there are the main characters: Raine, Mychael, Tam, Phaelan, and Piaras. And the supporting cast of Talon Tandu, Justinius Valerian, Carnades Silvanus, Sarad Nukpana, Eamaliel Anguis (Raine's dad), Vegard Rolfgar, Ronan Cayle, Rudra Muralin, Sedge Rinker, and Katelyn Valerian. There are other minor characters, and references to characters who are still a big part of the action, but don't actually appear in this particular book. Don't worry, they will be back. ; )
New characters include Raine's uncle & Phaelan's dad -- Commodore Ryn Benares. I love him and I think you will too.
But the most prominent new character is Sora Niabi, professor of demonology at the Conclave college. Here's her description as told by Raine: The woman was human, about my height, with nut-brown skin, and black hair pulled back into a serviceable braid. Her robes were a riot of bright colors. I noticed that they were also slashed up the side, exposing practical trousers underneath, and good sturdy boots. She noticed me noticing. "When you study demons for a living, Miss Benares, it's healthy to be able to haul ass when you have to."
Sora is awesome. ; )

i think Raine and Sora will be getting along quite will ;)
Sora sounds like a fun character. But Vegard is still my favorite Character next to Raine. Is there any chance that you will write any kind of a story based on him?
I would die to read that. Anyway I have about 3 weeks to go till I go to Army Basic Training so I'll be around. Keep up the good work and can't wait to read the sample chapters when they come out.
Kara,
Raine and Sora make a great team.
Joshua,
There's plenty of Vegard in TTWD as well as in B&B. And with any of my characters, there's always the possibility of a story based on them. As I've said before, I'd love to start doing stories for anthologies.
Love the "Haul ass" comment... it does sound like Sora and Raine will be getting along quite well. :) I absolutely cannot wait to meet Raine's uncle Ryn!!! Such fun to meet new characters!
Hey you! It's Caera, Imalshen, from FOJG. Not seen you around in forever. How you doing? Can't wait for TTWD!!! :)
Hi Caera!
I pop over to FOJG, but I'm pretty much having to be a lurker right now. I'm busy writing Bewitched & Betrayed, and just finished the copyedits for The Trouble with Demons this past weekend. Between that and my day job, I'm a busy girl. ; ) I'll be posting the first three chapters of TTWD in December, and the publication date is officially April 28. Hope everything is well with you.
Take care!
Lisa
