Faith Hunter's Jane Yellowrock series is a dark urban
fantasy. Jane is a full blooded Cherokee skinwalker and hunter of
rogue-vampires in a world of weres, witches, vampires, and other supernats.
Her Rogue Mage novels—Bloodring, Seraphs, Host, and the RPG Rogue Mage—feature Thorn St. Croix, a stone mage in a post-apocalyptic alternate reality.
The Soulwood series is a dark-urban fantasy / paranormal police procedural /para-thriller series featuring Nell Nicholson Ingram, an earth magic user and Special gent of PsyLED.
Faith writes full-time, tries to keep house, and is a workaholic. She gave up cooking for lent one year and the oven hasn’t been turned on since. Okay – that’s a joke. She does still make cold cereal and sandwiches. Occasionally, she remembers to turn on Roomba (that she named Duma$$ because it fell down the stairs once.)
Faith researches in great detail, and tries most everything her characters do. Research led to her life’s passions – jewelry making, orchids, bones, travel, white-water kayaking, and writing.
Jewelry-making was the occupation of two of her characters: Thorn St. Croix, the Rogue Mage, and the main character of BloodStone, written by her pen name, Gwen Hunter. She fell in love with the art form. Faith makes, wears, and sometimes gives away her jewelry as promo items to fans and as prizes in contests. See her FaceBook Fan Page at http://www.facebook.com/official.faith.hunter for pics. She works with stones, pearls, crystal, and glass, wire wrapping larger, undrilled, focal stones. Labradorite, Amazonite, apatite, aquamarine, and prehnite are her favorite stones.
Faith loves orchids. Her favorite time of year is when several are blooming. Pictures can be seen at her FaceBook page. And yes, she collects bones and skulls. Many of her orchid pics are juxtaposed with bones and skulls —a fox, cat, dog, cow skull, goat, and deer skull, (that is, unfortunately, falling apart) and the jawbone of an ass. She just received a boar skull, and the skull of a mountain lion (legally purchased from a US tannery) killed in the wild.
She and her husband RV, traveling to whitewater rivers all over the Southeast.
And that leads Faith to kayaking – her very favorite sport. Faith discovered whitewater paddling when she was researching her (Gwen Hunter) mystery book, Rapid Descent. She took a lesson and—after a bout of panic attacks from fear of drowning—discovered she loved the sport.
Faith is one of the founders and a participant at the now defunct and archived www.MagicalWords.net, an online writing forum geared to helping writers. And she is a voracious reader.
Under other pen names, notably, Gwen Hunter, she writes action adventure, mysteries, and thrillers. As Gwen, she is a winner of the WH Smith Literary Award for Fresh Talent in 1995 in the UK, and won a Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Award in 2008. As Faith, her books have been on the New York Times and USA Today Bestseller lists, been nominated for various awards and won an Audie Award with Khristine Hvam. Under all her pen names, she has more than 40 books, anthologies, and complications in print in 30 countries.

INTERVIEW WITH BEAST
La Crimson Femme: Welcome, Beast. Thank you
for popping in. You and Jane have been together for centuries. Please share
with us your favorite memory of Jane and why.
Beast: Jane is Beast and Beast is
Jane. Beast’s best memory of Jane is Jane using fingers to get out of cage. Was
first time Beast thought human-shape was im-por-tant. Jane saved Beast/Jane.
Was good memory. And … (perks ears, thinking) When Jane first saw/smelled
Bruiser, primo to vampire Leo Pellissier. Wanted both as mate. Was gooood
memory. (chuffs)
La Crimson Femme: Yes, Bruiser and Leo
together would be divine. *fans self* I can understand why Beast would want
both as mates. Maybe “Writer” will listen to smart Beast and make that triad
happen someday. *dreamily sighs*
You
mentioned the smell of Bruiser. What other scents are your favourite and why? What
does the favourite scent remind you of, that makes it so pleasing?
Beast: Bruiser brought Jane catnip
flowers. Love catnip. (closes eyes) Wanted to roll in catnip and all
over Bruiser. Wanted many things with Bruiser but fell asleep with catnip
smell. (thinks) And raw cow-beef-roast from Eli. Eli is like Beast … (thinks)
Is hard. Beast does not have friends. Puma concolor does not have friends. Has
only kits and mates. Yet, Eli is like Beast … friend and family. Love Eli. Love
Alex.
La Crimson Femme: Eli and Alex are like family
to both you and Jane. Even if Alex’s
smell may be quite pungent at times. I hear he is finally learning that showers
are a good thing. Speaking of raw
cow-beef-roast … I understand that you’ve negotiated a hunt in Texas and
enjoyed that immensely. If you could
travel anywhere to hunt, where would go and what would you like to hunt next?
Beast: Beast has hunted Alli-gator.
And deer. And Chickens. Chickens are stupid. Good prey. But Beast has never
hunted goats that run up mountains. Beast can run up mountains. Would like to
chase goats. Would be fun!
La Crimson Femme: Oh, goats and mountains!
That would be fun. Maybe you can suggest to Bruiser or Jane that Peru
has both goats and mountains. Beast
would also be quite accepted there as pumas also live in Peru. Thank you for stopping by and chatting with
me, Beast! For fans who want to chat

ABOUT SHATTERED BONDS
Jane Yellowrock must
dig deep and find strength within herself if she is to survive in the latest
novel in this New York Times bestselling series.
Jane Yellowrock is
vampire-killer-for-hire, but her last battle with an ancient arcane enemy has
brought her low. She seeks retreat in the Appalachian Mountains to grieve the
loss of her friends, and to heal—or to die—from the disease brought on by her
magic.
But malevolent elements
in the paranormal community still seek to destroy Jane, and a terrifying foe
stalks her, even into the safety of the hills. With nowhere to run and her body
failing, the rogue-vampire hunter and her inner Beast must discover a way to
defeat this new threat, and find a form that gives her a chance to fight
another day.Mass Market Paperback
