Guest Post & Giveaway: Angelfire by Hanna Peach

Today I have a fun little treat. Hanna Peach, author of the urban fantasy/paranormal novel Angelfire (Dark Angel #1), has provided us with a guest post about something that terrifies her more than death and how she incorporates this into her writing. Interested yet? Yeah, I thought so. :) Hanna was also kind enough to offer up an ebook of Angelfire for one lucky winner. Enter the giveaway below.

Summary
An army of angels walk among us. They have kept us safe and ignorant, so far.

Earthbound for centuries and ruled by the Elders, they have established hidden cities, a society and The Code: obey your Elders, kill all demons, eliminate Rogue-angels, protect the mortals, remain hidden. Their warriors are the ungifted earthborn angels armed with blades and the ‘borrowed magics’ of distilled angel-blood tattoos.

Alyxandria is a young warrior with a fondness for customized knives and illegal night-races. If only she could overcome the taint of her parents who abandoned her to become Rogues.

When Alyx saves Israel, a gifted mortal with a past, she is forbidden to see him again. But she can’t help herself, drawn to him through their Guardian-bond, an ancient and long-forgotten bond; if he dies, she dies.

An encounter with a handsome Rogue leaves Alyx questioning all she has been taught to believe. Alyx begins to dig into the Elders’ secrets. Two thousand years of secrets that begin with the death of the Archangel Raphael. She is not prepared when she uncovers an Elder’s dark plan.

Somewhere on earth is a key to unlock hell. Somewhere on earth are pieces of an amulet that controls Lucifer and his army. Somehow Israel is the link and now both sides are after him. Who can Alyx trust when Good and Evil is no longer clear?

The war for earth begins.

 

Telling Him

by Hanna Peach

I’ve heard that the thing that people fear most is public speaking. For me… the communication is more intimate. It’s telling someone, that one person, how I really feel about them. This terrifies me more than death. And apparently, it terrifies me more than dying alone because I still haven’t been able to do it.

Why not? What’s so terrifying? It’s just my feelings. It’s just my soul bared, naked, exposed to the one person who has the most power to crush it… haha

(awkward…)

Anyway, so I’m a writer, I have this issue. What do I do about it? I write it into one of my characters, of course. Let them blunder through it, mess things up, tear things apart with it, then work through it.

(Writing, it’s the new free therapy.)

Taken from Angelfire

It is crushing to be so flippant about her feelings for him. How her heart begs instead to let itself be heard by him. Tell him, it cries, tell him how he makes you feel.

No, her mind replies, he doesn’t feel the same way.

Tell him anyway...

Maybe this scene has been stolen from the silence between two of my heartbeats. Maybe I have breathed within this moment. Maybe.

The difference with writing is that I, more or less, get to control Alyx and Israel’s ending. Within some conventions, of course. I can’t let the lovers get to the ending without some heartache and some obstacles and some growth. And indeed, none of us get through life without some heartache and some obstacles and some growth. But at least, with the ending of a story you must get some satisfaction, a resolution, happy ever after or not. But in life… who knows. My ending is still unwritten.
