Private I with Eliza Gayle
The author saunters confidently into the office of O.F.U.C, but stops short when she sees the leather studded wall lined with skulls...
Thank you for coming in. Were you informed of the reason you were brought in today? Uhh…No. But if it has anything to do with the incident last week I really don’t have an explanation…
We believe your character may be involved in suspicious activity. When and where is the last time you saw your character? Why am I not surprised? The last time I saw Malcolm he was holed up in a cabin in the North Carolina mountains with some chick. I think there might have been some rope involved.
For the record, can you please say and spell your characters full name and any known aliases. Malcolm Gunn. That’s M.A.L.C.O.L.M He’s also been referred to as death enforcer, kidnapper, heart breaker, troublemaker and outcast.
Do know where your character may be now? He’s probably in the last place you’d think to look. He’s got so many hidey-holes in these woods that you’re not likely to find him until he’s ready to be found.
Can you please give a brief description of your character? Really tall, like over six feet with short black hair and those damned dark green eyes that have a way of mesmerizing women. Just look for the guy with lots of muscles in the snug t-shirt and a cocky attitude. Of course if you catch him in a bad mood or looking to play, you might be looking for black fur and fangs. Although I’d be cautious then if I were you.
Do you have a recent picture of the subject? Sure, I have a picture of him. He’s hard to forget though.
What was the demeanor of the subject like when you last met? He had a bit of a single-minded focus and it wasn’t on me if you get my drift.
Have they been fraternizing with anyone new as of late? He’s usually such a loner but ever since that woman Cheyenne came into the picture he’s changed.
We understand that you are the author of the character, but can you describe your personal relationship with them? Oh hell, where do I even start? I’ve never met such a stubborn, demanding sex-crazed man in my life. Does he listen to me? Hell no. Does he cooperate when it’s time to write? Double no. I thought I knew everything there was to know about him, yet he managed to surprise me on an almost daily basis. I’m amazed I have any hair left.
Do you know your character intimately? I do. He’s not always been a man you’d want to love and if I didn’t know better from the beginning I might have given up on him years ago. Clan life isn’t easy for a shapeshifter and when you make a hard decision that has repercussions you don’t expect, well, things tend to hit the fan.
We found this with your characters prints on it. Can you please tell me what it is? Wow. I didn’t expect to see that again. That’s Malcolm’s favorite belt. Can I ask where you found it? Wait. On second thought don’t tell me. I don’t think I want to know.
Is there anything else you think may be helpful? Watch the news. You’ll be looking for a story about unexplained trouble. That’s where you’ll find him.
If we, or our associates have any further questions, where can you be found? Uhm…likely chained to my desk, slaving over my computer as I work to meet my next deadline. Either there or at my favorite Mexican place sucking down some mango margaritas until inspiration strikes. If you find me there please don’t tell my editor, okay?
The masked figure rises abruptly and leans over the desk to whisper quietly in the authors ear, "Thank you for your cooperation". The author shivers and gasps when the figure disappears.
As the author turns to leave, a pile of folders of the desk can be seen. Each stamped as containing confidential information for the Office of Fictional Unaccounted for Characters or O.F.U.C.
MALCOLM by Eliza Gayle
Available April 5, 2011
He can run be he can’t hide. Not from duty. Not from danger. And especially not from the woman who forces him to face the truth.
Malcolm Gunn’s time is running out along with his ability to shift. When confronted with his past he thinks he’s found a solution. With the help of a little rope, he can let nature takes its course. Unfortunately the woman who is the key to his existence harbors a powerful secret that will destroy them both.
Cheyenne’s been hired to track and retrieve Malcolm at any cost. Her only plan is to get in, get out and keep her sanity intact. In that order. But she’s been warned…If he catches her, he will stake his claim whether she is willing or not.
Deceit and lies bring them together. Murder puts them on the run. Their enemies are closing in and there’s only one, irreversible way out. Some choices can never be forgiven and one man’s anger can destroy it all…Malcolm.
We are offering a reward for any information leading to the apprehension of this character. Leave a comment to win a digital download of one of the three Black cougar books: Lucas, Kane or Malcolm (winner’s choice)!
Contest ends April 29th, 2011. International entries welcome. Please leave your email address (name AT domain DOT com). One entry per household.
