Gold Blog Tour: Austin Interview + Giveaway

Gold (A Bandia Novel #2)

by Talia Vance

Descended from an Irish demigod, Brianna has fled to Ireland to escape destruction at the hands of her sworn enemies, the Sons of Killian. Taking refuge at the estate of her former nemesis, Austin Montgomery, Brianna discovers a rift in time that opens to an era before the feud began.

Wrestling with her newfound feelings for the more innocent Austin, Brianna begins to wonder if she can alter the past. But when Brianna and Austin learn that the Sons are raising an army of mythical beasts, the pair will need to use their magical strength in the present to avoid a tragic end.

Hello Austin, it is so lovely to have you here today.

If you could only keep one power, what would it be and why?

The power to influence, to take a seed of a desire and magnify it into something stronger. There is more power in knowing your opponent’s mind than in any physical act. 

Describe yourself in 3 words.

Bloody, bloody fool.

Tell me a secret of yours.

I always knew how it would end. 

What is something that baffles you?

Pride, and how it can keep you from getting what it is you really want. I’m as much a slave to it as anyone, but it still surprises me.

Randomness:

Red vines or twizlers? Red vines. I like my artificial licorice to taste like licorice. FINALLY A MAN WHO GOT IT RIGHT!!!!

Sweet or salty? Sweet.

Coke or Pepsi? Coke. I’m a traditionalist. You know, you are slowly winning me over...next you are going to say you are inlove with super fangirls!

Burger or steak? Steak.

Day or night? Night- I love to see the stars.

Would you please get naked? Um. That might be awkward.

Favorite Place? Anywhere she is.

Cat or Dog? Cats. They remind me a bit of the gods, beautiful, demanding and impossible to herd.

Snow or rain? Rain. You can take the boy out of Great Britain, but you can’t take the Great Britain out of the boy.

Ghost or Zombies? Ghosts. 

Coffee or Tea? Tea, always.

And lastly, my favorite way to finish my interviews, can I get a kiss from ya??

A gentleman never kisses and tells. Let’s just keep this between us, shall we?
