Release Date: 4/22/19
Lynn Michaels here to interview a few of the guys from my Demon or Angel. I wanted to drop in and talk to these guys about the main character, Vern Swain, aka Vick Sadler. .
Sitting with us today we have Vern’s Best buddy, Sean. He’s comfortably dressed in t-shirt and jeans, and nervously runs his fingers through his short, blond hair. His boyfriend, Tucker, is also with us. He’s a well built guy, wearing a jeans jacket over a t-shirt. His hair is reddish-brown and he has two-day scruff on his face, looking pretty rugged. We also have a special guest, Teague. He’s a lot of man, twice as big as Tucker with golden-blond hair that reaches his shoulders. He tucks it behind his ears and looks at the others with eerie eyes that keep changing colors.
All three of them are sitting on stools lined up against the wall in front of me. I’m a lucky girl!
Lynn Michaels (LM): Hi, guys. Thanks for coming by. I want to talk to you about Vern, and get your perspective on him and how you see his future going.
Sean: Hi. Seriously, Vern’s a good guy, and I’ve seen him in action. I think he has a great future in front of him in acting.
LM: Thanks, Sean. I know he’s a good guy. But tell the truth, can he really act?
Tucker: Hey, I’m really just a good ol’ southern boy, and I don’t know much about much, but I can tell you he’s pretty good. He’s believable. You forget you’re watching Vern, and you just see the character he’s portraying.
Sean: Agreed.
LM: Great. I’m certainly pulling for him. But what do you think makes him so good?
TEAGUE: Uh…I have to interrupt here…
LM: Hi there, Teague. It’s good to have you here. You have something to say about Vern?
TEAGUE: Yes, of course. I know I’m biased, but he’s amazing. Not just acting. I mean, come on, he’s had a really tough childhood. He’s dealt with a lot of shit in his life. And he wants to go by his screen name, Vick. So let’s respect that. I can’t imagine—
The door slams open and an unexpected guest storms in. It’s Teague’s brother, Zepher. He has dark hair and a powerful stride and he looks pissed off.
Zepher: I don’t want to hear any more about your boy-toy, Teague. Dynäj! (That means ‘damn’ in their demon language.) I was trying to get some sleep next door. Jerks his thumb toward the wall behind my panelists. All I can hear is Vern this and Vern that. Shut it already.
Zepher kicks Teague’s chair and Teague lunges at him. They roll on the ground, wrestling. That’s certainly more entertaining than the interview. Sean and Tucker duck out, and I’m left to watch the fight.
BLURB:
WAR IS COMING… the angels of Osestra and the demons of Exilum are preparing for the final battle to be played out in Manna, the human realm, and one young man is caught in the middle. Vern Swain may be the key to everything…
Vern is a country boy dreaming of seeing his name up in lights. He runs away to become a star. His journey is just beginning, but it takes him in unusual directions…right in the path of his guardian demon.
Teague, son of Xaphan is a demon of Exilum charged with ruining Vern’s life, but he just can’t do it. He’s confronted by his family, and forced to choose sides.
War is coming, but who’s fighting for Manna?

Teague stormed into the apartment like a proud peacock, walking around the tiny living room, inspecting everything from the bare walls to the furniture to the carpet. Like a dorm room, it was sparse and functional, but Vern didn’t give a damn. It was safe.
Vern perched on the edge of the couch and threw his hands in the air. “What, Teague? What the hell are you going to tell me? What is going to make any of this better?”
“It won’t make it better, but maybe you’ll, I don’t know, understand?” Teague reached for Vern.
He looked every bit the angel he appeared to be when they’d first met. He’d learned since then and wasn’t so quick to jump into his arms.
Teague’s blond hair cascaded down to his muscular shoulders, and his face, perfectly symmetrical, could only be described as angelic like the archangel Michael from the pictures he’d seen in the church’s literature back home. His eyes were…hazel? They changed by the moment shifting from green to brown with flecks of gold floating around. He didn’t dress much like an angel. He wore tight jeans and a faded t-shirt. He’d tossed a red leather jacket over the armchair. His jaw was scruffy with five o’clock shadow.
“So you’re real. And so is the other one?”
“Yes. And stories like Wonderland and Narnia…and the Bible are based on truth, too. Some of us can cross over. We’re from somewhere else. It’s called Exilum. We’ve been coming here for ages. There’s a plan, Vern.”
“Vick.”
“Can you give it a rest?”
Vern crossed his arms over his chest. He didn’t want to give Teague anything, but he needed information. He rolled his eyes. “Fine…go on.”
“We come here, and humans call us demons, say we’re from hell, like what you’ve read in the Bible or any of the other stories. But you’re only getting part of it.”
“What’s all of it?”
“If Exilum is what you would call hell, then Osestra, the sister realm, is heaven. We’ve been fighting for longer than man has walked upright. We call your world Manna, and we’re fighting for it.”
