Or more accurately an interview with her ragtag group of characters from the Jazz Tremaine novels, 50 Ways to Hex Your Lover and Hex Appeal.
LRP: We'll start by asking Croc and Delilah, Jazz' slutty but funny crocodile stilettos a few questions. Who’s the hunkiest character in Jazz’s world?
C&D -- Oooh, that’s easy! Jonathon, although Jazz calls him Krebs. There’s a sexy boyish quality about him that makes us quiver and swoon. Yum!
LRP: I know you can match every outfit Jazz wheres but what’s your favorite color to turn into?
C&D -- We love to turn into red because the color is so sexy. We know many think black is sexy, but red stands out more. When we turn into red we love to be the sexiest stilettos in the universe.
LRP: I know there's some animosity between you and Jazz' other set of talking shoes so here's my last question. If you could get away with it, what would you do to Fluff and Puff?
C&D -- They are so mean to us! Nasty things! We’d like to turn them pink. They hate the color and they’d hate being pink.
LRP: Oo! Pink! I shudder to think how they would react. Now Nick, I have a few questions for you if you have a minute. Why is witches’ blood poisonous?
Nick – It’s a protection for them against our kind since the witches and vampires had been at war. We vamps were never told how it worked, only that the spell cast centuries ago would also protect future witches. So there’s no nibbling where Jazz is concerned.
LRP: Do vampires have a soul? More importantly, do you have one?
Nick – Our souls aren’t like a traditional soul, more the knowledge of right and wrong. Over the years we’ve had to remain in the dark, so to speak, and many of my kind used that to their advantage by preying on the weak. That’s why the Protectorate is in force, making sure rogue vampires aren’t on the loose and keeping order within our community.
LRP: When did you first know you loved Jazz?
Nick (laughing) – Don’t tell her this, but probably from the very beginning. Even during a time when women were supposed to be seen and not heard, she still made sure that she was heard … big time. She has an aura of energy that you wouldn’t believe. I knew I was a goner and I still am.
LRP: How romantic! Now let's talk to the witch behind all the magic. So why ‘because I say so, damn it?’
Jazz -- So mote it be is so old century and when I cast a spell I like it to stick. This way no one can undo it.
LRP: I'd hate to be cursed. Now Nick, tell us about him. When did you first know you loved him?
Jazz – Have you seen him? The man is seriously hot, so for a second it was lust when I looked at him, and once he spoke I knew it was much more. I wouldn’t have believed in the term soul mates if it wasn’t for him. Nick is the other part of me.
LRP: My final question for you is about a different kind of magic. What is your favorite spell?
Jazz – Truthfully? Glamours when I wake up in the morning looking like a hag. And I mean a literal hag! There’s no way I can leave the house looking like that, so a little of this and a pinch of that and I look gorgeous. Who wouldn’t want that spell in her arsenal?
LRP: Krebs, what’s it like having a witch for a roommate?
Krebs -- Very different, but she’s turned into my best friend. Magick flies all around and she eats all my pudding cups in my fridge in my work area, but Jazz makes life interesting, so it’s worth it.
LRP: What’s the craziest thing that’s happened to you since Jazz swept into your life?
Krebs – Just one? I’ve had Christmas trees destroyed courtesy of Fluff and Puff, my house has been turned into a toxic dump, Fluff and Puff ate my Grateful Dead T-shirt, which I still haven’t forgiven them for, I’ve met my share of vampires. So life definitely isn’t boring.
LRP: Haha, poor Krebs. So my final questions are going to the mischievous bunny duo, Fluff and Puff. Who was the last person you ate?
F&P – Contrary to popular belief we don’t eat people. Way too nasty. Sure, there’s been an occasional squirrel, but we’d rather have good stuff like carrot cake, licorice root and chocolate.
LRP: Are you going to punish Jazz for locking you up?
F&P – We were mad at her at first, but we knew she had to do it even if it wasn’t any fun for us. Of course, that doesn’t mean we won’t have our ways of making her miserable now and then.
LRP: If you could get away with it, what would you do to Delilah and Croc?
F&P -- Heh heh heh! We’d make sure they could NEVER use any make up or perfume. They’re really HATE that!
LRP: That would be tragic! Thanks for taking the time to chat with Love Romance Passion readers Jazz and gang.
