Character Interview with Mercy
Interviewer: You just found out that you’re not only a witch, but you’re also a vampire hunter, and the universal element, Spirit. What was going through your mind after Caleb shared with you that secret?
Mercy: Thanks for having me. Of course, naturally, I was terrified. It was a lot to take in. Here, I have someone who had just recently chased me through a forest, keeping me trapped in my own room, but he’s sharing with me that I was sent to earth to destroy vampires.
Vampires!
I didn’t even know they existed in our world. However, I did feel that power growing up, but learning why it was taken from me, and from whom, was the most heartbreaking news of all. I had to accept my destiny, accept the power that I held, and learn to control and use it.
It didn’t make things easier to know that there was more to my past that was hidden from me. Like, for instance, the fact I was born in 1674, and the town of Salem hanged me at the Gallows.
I won’t allow anyone to hurt the ones I love, so I will move forward, grow in this power, and fight until every last one of those bloodsucking demons are sent back to Hell.

Book Description:
She's stalked, hunted, and a
villainous vampire desires her blood.
Mercy’s life is anything but
ordinary. A stalker lurks in the shadows, and a man rescues her from a
life-threatening car accident, but vanishes right before her eyes.
But this man who she thought was
a hallucination, tracks her down at a nearby cove, and claims they were once in
love from another time. Another century.
Mercy has no memory of this world
he shares, and instinctively doesn’t trust him.
He also reveals to her a
life-changing secret—she’s a powerful witch, vampires are real, and she's
destined to destroy them.
Mercy finds herself dragged into
a centuries-old battle against the undead, and a sadistic vampire leader has
set his sights on her. And he will stop at nothing until he claims Mercy as his
own.
She and her coven won’t go down
without a fight. She needs to discover the truth about her past, and the power
she holds, before it’s too late.

EXCERPT 2
They were there in the shadows
again. This was the third time this week I had thought someone was watching me.
The last few weeks, I’d heard the
rustling of leaves and the crackling sound of old fallen branches beneath
someone’s feet, or the hairs at the back of my neck would stand straight
because I knew someone stood silently behind me. Last night wasn’t any different.
I exited my car after an exhausting day at work and heard what sounded like a
low, deep exhale coming from the forest next to Lily’s house. I swiftly turned
around, fumbling with the flashlight on my phone, but when the light pierced the
darkness, the sound stopped.
Tonight, it was a silhouette
behind my aunt Lily’s fence in the backyard. It wasn’t someone walking by with
their dog or a neighbor taking out their trash. They were standing there,
staring, as I walked to the sink to rinse my dinner bowl. I wasn’t going to
tell her again. She’d just tell me what she’d told me last time I brought it
up. She’d say I was just seeing things and that it was normal to feel this way
after trauma.
“Your turn, Mercy,” Lily said.
Her voice pulled my gaze from the window.
“I’m coming,” I said, taking one
last glance toward the silhouette.
They were gone.
