Welcome back
to A Writer’s Mind’s, END OF THE WEEK CHARACTER BLOWOUT! Yesterday I interviewed
the heroine of THE PRINCES KNIGHTED, Sara of Bevelaire (scroll to the next post
to read). Today I’m thrilled to interview her hero, Hugh d’Arcy.
GIVEAWAY!
Author, Robin Danner, is graciously giving away an eCopy of THE PRINCES BOUND to
one lucky commenter. Contest ends Sunday, January 20th, 12 PM EST.
Before we
get started, let’s learn more about The Princes Knighted
Sir Hugh
d’Arcy has returned from the battlefield to escort Sara, the princess of Noventia’s
sister, to wed another. The mission is his duty, and his personal agony. Sara
has never forgotten her love for the boy Hugh once was. When captured, a
shocking revelation brings their love to life again. To save all he has sworn
to protect, Hugh faces a devastating decision. Can Sara convince him her love
is strong enough to overcome any obstacle?
Interview time!
SKY: Tell us a little bit about you.
HUGH: I’m Hugh d’Arcy, a knight of
Noventia and the nephew of the Queen of Isidor. My grandfather, Collin, is the
chief advisor to the Noventian prince. I’ve been around the royal family since
I was a baby. My father, Lance, died when I was young and my grandfather and
aunt raised me. I joined the army at sixteen and was knighted at a mere
eighteen. I’ve been busy fighting the rebellion for three years now.
SKY: Remembering the moment you first laid eyes
on Sara, what thoughts come to mind?
HUGH: At the time, I was frantic with
worry over Rowena, my prince’s betrothed. I was assigned to protect Sara. She’d
obviously been mistreated by the rebels and her face was battered and bruised.
I’ve felt responsible for her safety ever since.
SKY: She has one trait you adored from the start.
What is it? Hands down, she appreciates one of your traits…what do you think
that is?
HUGH: Sara seems so delicate, but you’d
be surprised to learn that she’s actually quite fierce. She is also very
stubborn. It’s an interesting mix. No doubt, she appreciates my loyalty to my
prince, but knowing Sara she probably called me sweet or something equally trite.
SKY: She has one trait you’d change if you could.
What is it? You figure there’s probably a trait she might want to change about
you… care to share?
HUGH: I wouldn’t change a thing about Sara.
She’s absolutely perfect just the way she is. If I had to guess, I would say
she’d change my determination. (She’ll probably call it stubbornness, but I beg
to differ.)
SKY: Ah, love is in the air. What is the single
most romantic thing you’ve done for her?
HUGH: It probably won’t sound romantic, but
I’ve watched her sleep. When we were captured, I stayed awake to make sure she
was safe.
SKY: She has a feature that draws your eye every
time. Care to share? She can’t stare at you enough… but where is she staring?
Now’s the time to gloat about your thick head of hair. *Sky sniggers* Truth! Do
you think it’s your eyes? Chest? Etc.
HUGH: This isn’t not a manly response, but
it would be her eyes. I could literally watch her face forever. (Hanging head)
Did she really say my hair? I wouldn’t be surprised.
SKY: How do you think Sara would answer the
following… Our favorite thing to do
together is…?
HUGH: To keep this safe for children to
read and because I know how Sara thinks, I will say that our favorite thing to
do together is sit in the rose garden. When we were younger, she made me pick
flowers all the time! Thankfully we now have new hobbies, but I won’t go into
those here. ; )
SKY: You and Sara don’t see eye to eye on what
issue?
HUGH: We don’t see eye to eye at all!
(She’s quite a bit shorter than me.) To be honest, we don’t agree on many
things. Sara is idealistic, while I’m a realist. My life as a knight isn’t
suited for a delicate girl like Sara.
SKY: She said one thing to you that you’ll never
forget. What was it?
HUGH: “I want to be with you, Hugh.
Here, now. I will not watch you march off to war without knowing what it is
like to be with you.”
SKY:
Thanks so much for joining me today, Hugh. Great interview!
