Hello book friends!
It's Book Time! Welcome to the Cover Reveal for Prince Of Seduction by Jenny Hickman (@authorjennyhickman), the Book 1.5 of the Myths Of Airren series. Prince Of Seduction will be released on July 20th, 2022 by Midnight Tide Publishing.
About the book:
Long ago, Tadgh O’Clereigh learned that the answer to surviving his curses lay at the bottom of a bottle. At least until he meets Lady Keelynn Bannon, a high-born human in possession of an enchanted emerald ring that could set him free.
He’ll do anything to get that ring—including agree to escort Keelynn on her fool-hearted quest for vengeance.
As their perilous cross-country journey brings them closer, Tadhg realizes that, as much as he needs the ring, he wants the woman who wears it more.
A companion novel to A Cursed Kiss, as told by Tadhg. It follows his personal ARC and hopefully answers any lingering questions readers may have after A Cursed Kiss.
I had the pleasure to talk with the author about this gorgeous book and ask her a couple of questions! Huge thank you to Jenny for taking the time to have this fun little conversation! <3
Q: How did the idea of releasing a companion novel narrated from Tadhg's POV come to be?
A: Tadhg seems to be at the top of everyone's list of characters from this book, how could I not write a book from his perspective? (Just kidding... sort of). But seriously, I always knew Tadhg had a lot more to say. While writing A Cursed Kiss, I worked out a rough outline of what Tadhg was up to when he wasn't on the page to help me understand his character better. His voice was so distinct and fun to write, those scenes turned into something more. The original plan was to release a book of "deleted scenes" from his perspective in a novella. However, it didn't feel like a novella would cover his ARC from start to finish, so I eventually decided to expand and include vital scenes from ACK from his perspective (which differs greatly from Keelynn's LOL).
Q: What was the most interesting and/or challenging part of this novel to write?
A: I loved writing the scenes of Tadhg at home with family and friends. His relationship with Rían is complicated, and Ruairi giving hard truths is always a winner. Plus, you get to see a lot more "drunk Tadhg" and he is my most favorite of all the Tadhgs.
Q: How long did the process of bringing this novel to life take, starting from the first draft to the cover reveal and upcoming release?
A: I wrote the original draft of Prince of Seduction before ACK was edited so there were a lot of changes. Technically, it's still not done (my editor has the manuscript for line edits at the moment), but by the time release day rolls around it'll be a year from start to finish.
Q: Will we meet Keelynn and Tadhg in the second novel of the Myths Of Airren series, A Cursed Heart?
A: A Cursed Heart takes place before and during the events of A Cursed Kiss, so you'll get to see plenty of Keelynn & Tadhg in their "natural habitat" before and after they meet. Weaving these two stories together has been so much fun, and I think (rather, I hope) it bleeds through to the reader.
