Blood Rose


Blood Rose
By Jacquelynn Gagne

Image and video hosting by TinyPic It’s true no one can out run Death. But Death doesn’t always want your existence. In Lianna’s case wants her mortality. Long have Lianna’s dreams been a window into another time. A place that is as magnificent as it is dark. Frightened and weary from the physical toll the nightmares take on her body she turns to her psychic friend for guidance, which results in prophetic visions of Lianna’s death. Mercenaries come after Lianna to stop her from fulfilling her fate. A destiny at her beloved’s side while rediscovering the real magic within her. Facing demise brought down on her by the hands of the mercenaries, the power of love offers her a new life as a vampire which ultimately fulfills the same epic fate the murderous villains fought to keep her from.

Getting to know her a little more!

What made you decide to finally pick up a pen and start working towards that dream of writing a novel? ·

 JG – It was obsession. It hit me one day, we were watching a movie. I got up, went to the computer and started writing and just couldn’t stop.

 Did you find writing certain scene’s challenging?

 JG – Sometimes, but it was usually I had too many options on what could happen. Too many ideas is    generally my problem more often than not enough.

 What was your favorite scene to write? 

 JG – That’s a tough question. I don’t know honestly I loved them all.

 Where did your inspiration come from to write such a book? 

 JG – Music mostly, music is always my best muse.

 Are the characters based on any actual people in your life? 

 JG – Nope.

 Will it be a series? If yes how may many books will you have in the series?

 JG – Yes, so far I have four written I am thinking about adding two more, I don’t know past that.

 Are there any new writers that have grasped your interests?

 JG – I work for a publishing company, so yes many.

 If there is one thing about your book that you want people to take away from the story what would that be?  

JG - That we can endure and persevere.

 Excerpt: There was an alley to the right. Too small for the car, or could he follow? Would it be a dead end and he’d have me cornered? It was my only chance. I lunged for its opening. My knee gave as my foot twisted off the curb sending me stumbling forward. My arms thrust out instinctively. I landed snapping my wrist back. They hadn’t softened the blow to my face as I hit the cold wet concrete. Blood spattered from my nose and mouth. My lungs were too fatigued to even muster a scream. Instead this sickened pathetic whimper gurgled out through the stream of blood. As I lay there, trying to muster enough will to get up, the tires squealed to a stop right next to me. My ears rang in a high-pitched echo combined with the sound of my blood rushing in my ears. “Anna!” My whole body shook violently when I heard a rough baritone voice scream my name in an intense rage. There was no way I could run from him anymore. Would I die here? Would he take me somewhere else to prolong my suffering? How long would it take? Another dark thought. Is this what Neesa and her mother had seen? Futilely my eyes closed. If I had to be conscious, I refused to watch my own death. “Anna! Look at me!” One hand held onto my shoulder turning me slowly as another hand carefully took a hold of my chin, tilting it up and making me cough on my own blood. “No.” Worthlessly defiant. I gurgled coughing on the blood filling my mouth relentlessly. “Alright. Just hang on. I’m going to move you, okay,” his voice filled with laughter. Though weak and painful, it flooded with the sound of relief. “No!” The scream was weak and sprayed blood as I spoke. My hand shot up defensively swiping at his face to try to push him away from me. The hand at my chin released to take my wrist gently.
