Up close and personal with Reyes Farrow

I am so delighted (and a little scared) to have the pleasure of interviewing 

Reyes Farrow

 I have been dying to chat with him ever since I read his stories.  I have a huge crush, but probably should not mention it...(NO REALLY...do not mention it.)  He is the powerful entity of Charley Davidson's dreams in First Grave on the Right, and he has us playing Hide and Seek in the new Novel 

Second Grave on the Left.
Which Darynda has been so kind to offer a GIVEAWAY.  
Signed Hardback!  *Squeals

Before we get to Reyes I would like to introduce you to the woman responsible for telling their story.

Darynda Jones

Winner of the 2009 Golden Heart® for Best Paranormal Romance for her manuscript FIRST GRAVE ON THE RIGHT, Darynda was born spinning tales of dashing damsels and heroes in distress for any unfortunate soul who happened by, annoying man and beast alike. After the Golden Heart final, she pimped herself as best she could, landed an amazing agent and sold to St. Martin’s Press in a three-book deal. Darynda lives in the Land of Enchantment, also known as New Mexico, with her husband of more than 25 years and two beautiful sons, aka the Mighty, Mighty Jones Boys. She can be found at ww.daryndajones.com

Without further ado.  Please welcome

 Reyes Farrow

Pimpin': Nice to meet you.  *reaches out hand then thinks twice.  I know you don't have a lot of time, since you are currently in hiding, so I will try to make this quick.  

Reyes:  *nods*

*wishing you could see him in person. The black robe appears as a mist around him. Eerily sexy. His eyes piercing and his hands look quiet "capable"

Pimpin':  You probably get this all the time, or well....maybe not.  What's it like to be the son of Satan?

Reyes:  Dangerous.

Pimpin':  Is he a caring father?  (maybe a dumb question)

Reyes:  As caring as a rattlesnake. He had high hopes for me and I turned my back on him and his war. He’s a little miffed.

Pimpin':  Who's your mother?

Reyes:  I was created, not born. My mother is the stars in the heavens, the minerals in the earth, and the energy from a thousand supernovae. I was forged in the fires of hell for a reason. While a perfect Being made my father, I was made with the most imperfect of intentions. I have a few flaws as a result.  

*Mouth drops open in awe!  Clears throat...No flaws that I can see!

Pimpin':  Where or how did you get the tats?

Reyes:  They were there WHEN I was created and they are WHY I was created. They’re a map to the gates of hell and without them, my father can’t navigate the void between heaven and hell. Which could explain why he’s a little miffed.

Pimpin':  How did you know when Charley was being born?, and does she have an incorporeal body?  

Reyes:  I felt a shift in the universe like a summer breeze rushing across my skin when she was sent to Earth, and I knew it was time to become human. She is like energy, pure and powerful, and her essence is warm and intoxicating. Her presence calms me. All the hate and despair that still lingers in my marrow melts, and I feel absolved. Worthy.

*heart melts and I swoon a little more. Fans face (only makes it worse) crosses legs

Reyes:  And, yes, she has an incorporeal body. It is more powerful than the sun, and when she learns to harness that power, to use it as it was meant to be used, she will be a force with more potential than imaginable.

Pimpin':  Why do you call Charley Dutch?

Reyes:  She perceives it as Dutch. The word is actually ancient Aramaic. It means seeker, because that’s what she is, the seeker of souls. She just doesn’t know it yet, not that part.

Pimpin':  What do you think about Garrett's advances on Charley?

Reyes:  Some men aim to summit a mountain that is far too high. Those same men often die on their journey, the quest too ambitious. Garrett’s aim is way off.

*swallows hard.  Poor Garrett

Pimpin':  Do you know Rocket Man's real name?

 Reyes:  Yes.

Pimpin':  What do you have on right now under your cloak?

Reyes:  Would you like to see for yourself? 

*FAINTS!

When I wake up he is gone.  I am left with a feeling of emptiness, and I wonder if that's how Charley feels every time he leaves.  Despite being the Son of Satan he is very pleasant in a I could kill you in an instant kind of way.  Wherever you are Reyes.  I thank you, and hope you come back soon.
