Excerpt


Excerpt from beginning of Never Marry A Warlock:

My husband’s arms were wrapped around her naked body. The blankets were strewn and interwoven between their legs. He was spooning her with his biceps draped over her. I stood in the doorway taking in the scene of my husband and my best friend. It was the end of the world, at least for me. But I wasn’t going to take it lying down. I should have known better than to have married a warlock.

I hit him with a force spell that knocked him up against the headboard. He fell back down and braced his hands out to catch his fall. Cassandra scrambled out of the bed, dragging the silk comforter with her. Bitch. She better get out of my way. She was next.

Rich was naked as he sat up to look at me. Normally, the abs-flash trick would work. But not now. I was too pissed off. I knew what spells he used to look like that. It was easy to fool a mortal and ex-best friend on the floor. But not me. Thing is, we were too evenly matched. I think that was the problem.

He threw a counter spell that lanced light through my arm, digging into the flesh as it tried to anchor and link me to him. I flicked out a removal spell that broke the connection, laced my hands together, and hit him with a burst of everything I had. He went flying backward, through the window into the pool. It was satisfying to watch. He tried to rise up and hover toward me, but I knocked him back in the water with another force spell.

He yelled from the pool. His wavy, brown hair trenched with water. “Baby, we can talk it out. It’s just a moment of weakness. You’ve had them with mortals.”

I’d drown him if he couldn’t breathe water. Blowing up the six-million-dollar house probably wouldn’t kill him either. Like I said, never marry a warlock. I shot another burst of energy, creating a field that pushed him under. He swam back up and came to the side, with both chiseled arms on the edge of the pool. His brown eyes tried to melt my insides. I wasn’t going to let him win again.

I walked through the window ledge, broken glass crackling under my heels. “It’s over Rich. Just over. I’m done with playing the games, or sharing you with the next mortal you pick up. Really, when I said my vows, it was forsaking everyone. Including mortals.”

“I haven’t touched another witch in ages, Catherine. Really. Scout’s honor.”

I blasted him into the pool again. Rich came up from the bottom, laughing. He swam back to the side and got out. He walked toward me with glistening, rock-hard muscles. I fought down the attraction, along with the writhing anger. Maybe blowing him up was too good for him. Slow, painful death. Maybe.

Character Interview  


Please welcome Catherine from Marilyn Vix's Beware Of Warlocks to Diane’s Book Blog. 

What is your full name? 

My name is Catherine Banks. My nickname is Cat.

How old are you? 

I’m old enough to know better. Age is also different for witches. I look 26, but I’m a bit older than that. Enough said.

Where were you born? 

In Northern California near Eureka.

Where have you lived since then? 

Lots of different places.

Where do you currently call home? 

I was living in the Carmel Highlands. But circumstances have made Las Vegas my current home.

Who are the people you are closest to? 

Cassandra is my BFF. She didn’t really mean what she did, sleeping with my husband. I forgive her now that I found out the truth. And it was quite a journey there. My family is estranged around the world. I’ve lost contact with most of them. I only have my friends as my family now.

What is your biggest fear? 

Seeing any Ex. Whether they are my ex-boyfriend or my ex-husband. I hate seeing someone that reminds me of nothing but emotional pain.

Who is the greatest love of your life? 

Right now, that would be Jeff, my Aussie boyfriend. He’s my current love. Whether it’s for life, we’ll have to see. Life for a witch can be rather strange and unexpected. We live for so long; a lifetime can seem like forever.

Which living person do you most despise? 

My ex-husband, Rich, is on top of my hate list right now. I’m so glad I won’t have to deal with him anymore.


Which talent would you most like to have?

I wish I had the power to go back in time. But no witch has that. We can blow things apart, shoot lightning, but no way can we fix past mistakes except to move forward.

What do you most value in your friends? 

Honesty.

Who is your favorite hero of fiction?

I really loved Samantha in “Bewitched”. Some of what she could do wasn’t true, and some of it is. It was a good way to introduce people to the idea that witches are among us. In fact, it’s truer than people may believe.

Heroes In real life? 

Marilyn Monroe. She was always trying to fight the stereotype she was set into. Her life was so high maintenance everyone wanted to save her. She was smart as well as beautiful, and had a way of acting that has never been duplicated. Men wanted to be with her and women wanted to be her best friend. I think it’s still true today. To leave an impression like that on the world is something to respect. I want to be her when I grow up.

Which living person do you most admire? 

Right now, I’d say Taylor Swift. I’ve had some time to enjoy different pop music, and hers is the most refreshing right now along with Bruno Mars and Lady GaGa. Pop hasn’t been this good since the 1980s.

Interview:


Please welcome Beware Of Warlocks author Marilyn Vix to Diane's Book Blog.


What is your favorite Series?


Hands down, my favorite all time series is The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice. Interview With A Vampire, Vampire Lestat, and The Queen Of The Damned are the best in the series. There is no other vampire vane or as fabulous as Lestat. I’ve always wished they’d made Vampire Lestat into a movie. I would have loved to see Lestat pretending to be a gothic rock star. I also love her Anne Rambling books like Exit to Eden. Anne Rice is my hero.


If you could be best friends with one of your characters, who would it be?


Catherine Banks, the main character of the Beware of Warlocks series, would be my drinking buddy. I think her slight snarkish snobbery would get in the way sometimes. But she does have the power to kill at a thought, or crush mortals like a bug. There is a certain distain for weaker creatures. Kind of the way vampires see us as food. So, I think she and I would get along in a spider and fly way. She would be happy to carry me around if needed. We’ve both been through the same man-pain.

Who or what inspired you to be a writer?


I’ve always enjoyed writing my own stories since I was ten. I discovered the absolute power of writing through a journal assignment from my Fifth Grade teacher. Thank you Mrs. Williams. I realized I had complete control over a world and it’s people, and they could do nothing without me. I’ve been hooked since.


What books have most influenced your life?


Any book has influenced my life. I want to read more. I think which books I’m reading will affect the direction I take. I’m currently reading a lot of 80s memoirs. I figure if anybody lived through that decade and can talk about it, I’m going to find it interesting. I read a lot of fantasy and Sci-FI when I was a teen. I was pre Harry Potter. So, I only really have Lord of the Rings as the fantasy king. But there were amazing women Sci-Fi/Fantasy writers like Marion Zimmer Bradley and Anne McCaffrey. They were amazing world builders and I studied their writing patterns. 


What book are you reading now?


I’ve been reading a lot of chick-lit and New Adult Romance. The current book I’m reading is called The Not So Secret Emails of Coco Prichard by Robert Bryndza.  It’s a chick-lit series I got from a good friend for my birthday. She got signed paperback copies. It’s all very British humor like Bridget Jones. I’ve been married to a Brit for 11 years. So, I can understand the references. If not, I call out to the couch and I get an instant translation.


What do you prefer paperback, hardcover, or ebooks? 


You know, I’m starting to feel married to my Kindle. With the birthday gift paperbacks, it feels weird grabbing a book. I’ve actually grabbed my Kindle twice, and realized I was reading paperbacks right now. I think I’ve dived into eBooks and haven’t really noticed I’ve shifted to ebooks. They are so easy to buy, easy to read, and feed the obsession. Please sir, may I have some more. So, I’m finding I’m only reading paperback if I have to. Most of the time, I’m reading eBooks now. 


Can you share a little of your current work with us?


I’m currently working on the last eBook novelette in the Beware of Warlocks series, Never Cross A Warlock. I’ve got Catherine trying to figure out how she will survive divorce witch style. Most witch divorces end in huge spell battles. I’m having her rally her wagons and figure out how she will face off her ex-husband Rich. Jeff is so far at her side, but they’re in Vegas. Anything can happen. Blowing up a casino or two comes to mind. Even I’m not sure until I’m in the writing zone. This is such a character driven story; they are showing me what happens. I’m merely a spectator taking dictation. I’m excited to see how it all ends. Let’s hope, without too many puffs of smoke and ash. 


Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?


Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being there and enjoying my stories. I’m writing with all of you in mind. In fact, any comments I take into consideration while writing the next book. All of the comments for Never Marry A Warlock helped drive me to revise and include what people wanted in the next eBook. Everyone loved Jeff. So there is more. People want the epic spell battle. Believe me, it’s coming. But as they say, you’ve got to save the best for last. The fun part about all this is I get to talk to people. I love hearing from people that have read my book and really, I take what you say to heart. Love you all. You keep me going.
