Jennifer Probst: I have the cast of Dante’s Fire here to answer some questions. Many readers seemed to want more in the book, a bit more story to flesh out. I’m hoping to give you more in the next one, but I also think Dante stands on its own. A shorter read, yes. But just as powerful, with a bit of a twist that makes it different and offers a fresher perspective on conflict.
Let’s start with you, Dante. Tell me a bit about your powers and your childhood.
Dante:I had the power of fire from a young child, given to me by my father. My mother was human. My father was also, but he had a special gift. Ever read Firestarter by Stephen King? Yeah, well that was more of a horror type/suspense, but I have an ability to create fire, which is linked to my emotions.
I was taught young how to control it, with strict lessons by my parents. But when my mother was assaulted, my true purpose was revealed. I was continuously told I’d serve a higher power, but I never really thought past it.
My gift evolved until I was able to travel to the actual scene of an assault. Using fire, I burn the assaulters with a symbol, sort of like a tattoo. They are unable to hurt any other women after this, or the symbol flares into full fire and burns them alive.
Jennifer Probst: Hmm, quite satsifying. I really wish you were more than my creation in my head. Thank you my wonderful, sexy hero. Now, on to your match. Selina Rogers, you really fell in love with two men, didn’t you? Of course they ended up being the same man, but what were the main qualities in each you were attracted to?
Selina: Daniel the mailman was my friend. Never underestimate the power that trust and respect gives a woman. Sure, we’ll all about sexy alpha males, but when we feel safe, we can open our heart in ways that just sex can’t give us. With Daniel, our conversations made me happy. There was little wonderful hum of sexual electricity that made everything better.
Then with Dante, he reached into my broken soul and healed me. He was fierce, and tender, and tortured. He made me want to help him just as much as he was helping me. And he eventually turned that emotion into the physical, where my body burned just for his touch.
Jennifer Probst: Thanks Selina. Makes perfect sense. Finally, let’s ask Chase a few questions since we didn’t get the background of him in Dante’s Fire. Tell us a little about your past.
Chase: Crap, I wasn’t born with any special gifts, my parents were never assaulted or killed, and I wasn’t raised in foster care. I’m kind of...normal. Parents still together. No other siblings. The only thing I can say is I wanted more in my life than my parents ever did. They were simple, both teachers, average salary, house, and life. There was little excitement or drama. How wrong is it of me to want so much more? I craved the city, meeting new people, power, money, travel. It couldn’t relate to being average.
I also had a huge sexual appetite, even at a young age.
So there you go. Sorry to disappoint you, but it’s who I am.
Jennifer Probst: Thank you, Chase, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Thanks for the interview and thanks to the readers who have already read and loved Dante’s Fire. I hope you give it a try if you haven’t’ read it yet!
