Show Your Support Kindle Blog Hop

Thank you for stopping by on my day to post during the 
Show Your Support Blog Hop.  
I will be featuring one of my favorite Indie Authors BC Morin.  Enjoy and make sure to enter the giveaway!
I want to first focus on the author who is a very dear friend of mine.


BC Morin
B.C. Morin was born in Miami Florida and has been writing since middle school. Starting with poetry she moved on to short stories and began her first novel by the time she graduated high school. It was actually in her late twenties that she developed a stronger love for reading and writing which eventually unfolded into her debut novel Mark of the Princess. B.C. is currently hard at work on the rest of The Kingdom Chronicles trilogy and a new Paranormal Romance named The Abiding.
Interview:
1. What's your next project?
I am currently working on Book 3 of The Kingdom Chronicles, The Abiding, and two secret projects that I cannot mention just yet. :)
2. Are you a morning or night person?
Usually a night person, but I can be a morning person with the right amount of coffee.
3. Someday, I want to _________ (What?) 
Be published by a major publishing house and maybe have one of my books made into a movie. (a girl can dream, right?)
4. What are your favorite hobbies? 
Writing and hanging out with my family.
5. List five adjectives to describe yourself. 
Strong-willed, determined, loyal, honest, helpful
6. Do you believe in love at first sight?
Yes
7. Favorite meal at favorite restaurant? 
WOW, this one is tough, but just because I had it recently, I would say the breaded steak and moro at Bongo's in Downtown Disney.
8. If you could visit any place in the world, where would you choose to go and why? 
Australia, because my best friend lives there.
9. If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
hhhmmm, Teleportation ! Just think of the travel possibilities ?!?!!?!? ("Okay everyone, grab your bags and hang on to me, we are off to Bora Bora !!")
10. What is your favorite quote?
I have a few, but one of them is : “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” - Dr. Seuss
11. What's your favorite song to sing in Karaoke? Why? 
I haven't actually done Karaoke, but I would love to do any musical or Disney songs, Adele, a couple of songs by Carrie Underwood, Black Velvet, I love Rock N Roll. All for the reason that they either tell a story, or are sung with a lot of heart and conviction.
12. If you could be invisible for a day, what would you do? 
Hahaha, maybe rig the lottery so I'd be a winner.
13. If you could take five things to a deserted island, what would you take? 
Sun block, lip balm, water, a book on how to build a boat or raft, and the supplies to do it (LOL)
14. What's your favorite TV show of all time and why? 
Wow another tough one. I have a lot of favorite shows, but I would have to go back to my childhood and say Wonder Woman. Watching her show would spark my imagination, and teach me that a girl can kick ass!!
15. If you could have picked your own name, what would it be? 
Probably Emma. I really love that name.

Author Links:
 I am really loving this!  I especially love your answer about traveling to Bora Bora.  I am in!!! 
 Now on to a character from BC Morin's series, The Kingdom Chronicles.  He is one of my favorite book boyfriends of all time.  I can't wait to see what he has to say!!

Meet Brennus!!!  I am honored to have you here Brennus.  I have to admit I have a bit of a crush on you!
Now on with the interview!
1. What is your name?
Brennus Aurelius Scollain, King of Anrad
2. What is your height, weight and build? 
I was under the impression that this interview would not be so personal, though I do not blame you for wanting to know. In your human world I would be between 6'4 and 6'6, probably 230 to 245 lbs., and all that would be muscle. I have a very broad build and due to my extensive training, I am very muscular. In your human world, I was compared to someone named Thor, though I do not know him.
3. Do you have any scars or tattoos? What do they mean to you? 
I believe that you humans would call the marks that we are born with and acquire, tattoos. They are all markings that stand for a certain skill. The more we master that skill, the more the Mark grows. I was born with twenty and have acquired more through my training. All have been mastered, so the markings expand down my arms, over my shoulders and back, on my legs and some around my ribs and hips.
4. Where did you grow up? How do you feel about it now? 
I spent most of my childhood in my Kingdom of Anrad. The Kingdom of the Warrior Fae. I have grown more of a respect for my Kingdom and it's people since I have begun my rule as King.
5. What is your current job title / social station / rank? 
King of Anrad; Rank? On what scale? 1-10 ? I would venture to say 99. I would say 100, but I do not want to seem too cocky.
 6. Who is your best friend? Describe them briefly.
In my life of training, I have not had time to spend creating a friendship of that sort, but I would say that one fae who knows me above all would be my love, Alannah.She is beautiful, loving, dedicated and loyal. There is none like her.
7. What is your most cherished possession? 
My Alannah.
8. How do you feel, generally, about the opposite sex? 
I feel that they are as worthy opponents on the battle field as they are off.
9. How would you define ‘power’?
Hhhmmmmm, I would have to say that true power comes from being true to who you are, what you are capable of, and what you can do for others without expecting anything in return.
 10. What belief / person / institution would you die to defend?
I would die for my God, my Alannah, and my Kingdom.
11. How hard is it  for you to admit when you’re wrong? 
I am never wrong, next question.
12. What was your first impression of Princess Alannah? 
That she was nothing more than a spoiled Princess.
13. How accurate was this first impression? 
It proved to be only slightly accurate. Her "spoiled" attitude was a result of her confines. She has grown to be the most amazing and powerful woman I have ever met.
14. How would you define the word ‘love’? 
A force unseen that can lift you up or bring you to your knees.
15. What adjective do you think Alannah would choose to describe you? 
Handsome, Brave, Courageous, Well Built, Extremely Attractive, Honorable, (voice comes from other room : Actually, I would say Stubborn!!)
16. Do you think if you hadn't met Alannah, a Princess, that you could have fallen in love with a blogger?
A blogger ? I have heard of your kind, B.C. has informed me. Considering the amount of love I receive from you, I do not see what would stop me.
 OMG, I love you even more!  *blushing   Thank you so much for allowing me to get to know you better Brennus.  I am beyond grateful.  I am so happy that you made the time to talk with a little ole' blogger like me .  I look forward to following your future adventures!
Check out more of Brennus in the Kingdom Chronicles!
