Welcome to Day 6 of Rebecca Zanetti’s Hunted Tour. We are super excited to have Connlan & Moira on the blog today. They agreed to sit down and chat with me about their upcoming story. I hope you enjoy Conn & Moira.
BnK: Hi Conn, Hi Moira.
Conn: Hi
Moira: Hello
Bnk: Are you ready to get started?
Conn: Sure
Moira: Yep
Q1) Conn, I have to ask about the pink apron? Do you lose at checkers on purpose or does Janie win fair and square?
Conn: What pink apron? If you don’t have a picture, there’s no pink apron. Period. Well, of course I don’t lose on purpose. I mean, I’m a soldier. Janie is just that good at checkers. Though, you probably don’t know this, but she makes up her own rules as she goes. For example, if I have the opportunity to get crowned, I have to name every single Pony from her favorite movie before I can move…and there’s a time limit. So, see? She wins fair and square.
Q2) Can you tell us how you two met?
Conn: Well, about a hundred years ago, I was training some soldiers in a field and took my shirt off, and Moira was sneaking and watching along with her older sister. She made some comment about hoping I shucked my pants, not knowing how good a vampire’s hearing is. Well, then the little witch tripped and fell in the stream. I, of course, hurried over and helped her out of it. I may have mentioned that I wasn’t taking my pants off for her…or maybe not. J
Q3) Moira, Conn gave you 100 years. Looking back on it are you glad he did or do you wish he came for you earlier?
Moira: What a fun question! For quite some time I was a bit miffed that he didn’t head on over and take me out on a date or two, but considering we all went to war, I’m glad I had that time to train. When you read Hunted, you’ll see why we both needed the century to learn each other’s skills and prepare for war.
Q4) Conn, what was the hardest part about staying away from Moira for those 100 years?
Conn: That’s a good question, too. Once a vampire mates, it’s forever, and that person is in our blood. I knew she was in danger even while training, and I had to fight my own instincts in going over and yanking her to safety. I was extremely happy when the 100 years was up, though I knew I’d have a fight on my hands. Mainly from Moira.
Q5) Plane sex… Any other exciting place you two have had sex?
Conn: No.
Moira: Oh, knock it off. That’s a fun question, too. Well, let’s see.
Moira: Oh, knock it off. That’s a fun question, too. Well, let’s see.
Conn: Stop talking.
Moira: No. There’s the beach, the king’s desk, the Council of the Coven Nine headquarters on the bench, that restroom as the Four Seasons, the movie theatre, the training room…
Q6) Conn, do you think you and Moira will make a good fighting team?
Conn: Yes, I think we make a good team, so long as Moira remembers to stay safe. I mean, there’s no reason to tempt fate, now is there? The woman truly has a penchant for finding danger—and danger is my job.
Moira: Whatever.
Q7) How do you feel about Rebecca telling your story?
Conn: I’m pretty sure the story won’t be told. We need to remain secret.
Moira: I think the book is called Hunted, which will be released on April 24th. The story is sweet and sexy, so I figured, why not? The world can read it.
Conn: You what?
Q8) Do you think that she kept it true to the real story or did she fluff it or exaggerate it at all?
Moira: Oh, it’s true to life. If anything, I asked her to tone it down a little considering my mother (and hers) might read it. But, she shook her head, so maybe she included everything. Oh My.
Q9) Did Rebecca leave out any parts you really, really, really wanted in?
Moira: It’s funny you ask that. In Rebecca’s original draft, she included a prologue detailing when, ah, we mated and how the brand appeared on Conn’s hand and my, er, body. But she took it out because it overshadowed the first few chapters of the book. I hope she puts it up on her website sometime in the future as a free read because it’s…HOT.
Q10) So, what do you two see in your future? Babies?
Conn: Yes. Probably not until we win the war and life is safe, but I’d love a couple of talented little vampires running around.
Moira: Talented vampires who can practice witchcraft, of course.
Conn: Of course.
Bnk: Conn, Moira, Thank you so much for taking the time to sit down and talk with me. I loved your story. And don’t worry your secret is safe with me.. I won’t tell the world about you…. Oops… *grinning* Anything else you would like to add before you take off?
Bnk: Conn, Moira, Thank you so much for taking the time to sit down and talk with me. I loved your story. And don’t worry your secret is safe with me.. I won’t tell the world about you…. Oops… *grinning* Anything else you would like to add before you take off?
Moria: So, Rebecca would like to thank Books N Kisses for having this fun interview today. She’s also like to thank Kelly Mueller for organizing the blog tour for Hunted! As a thank you, she’d like to give away copies of either Fated or Claimed to five commenter’s here on the blog. Yes, five! Winners can choose either Fated or Claimed
So…why do you think people like vampires?
Hunted
By Rebecca Zanetti
Release date 4/24/2011
Ready or Not
Moira Dunne is a witch–the quantum physics kind. Time and space are her playthings. Which might explain why her one-night stand from a hundred years ago has turned up to “claim” her–and request her family’s assistance with the war he’s brewing. But the more she learns about Connlan Kayrs, the more she comes to think this is normal behavior for him…
There’s Nowhere to Hide
When Conn and Moira tumbled on the moonlit grass, Conn hadn’t meant to mark her for his mate for all time. She was only twenty! But it wasn’t easy to wait for her. It was even harder to forget her. So when he finally returns for his wicked-hot witch, he’s ready to let the sparks fly. Even if he burns up in flames…
To enter for a chance to win one of five copies of either Fated (bk#1) or Claimed (bk#2) please fill out the Rafflecopter form below.
I think people like vampires because they are dark, mysteries and strong and always struggling with what they have become. Tore923@aol.com
I love vampires. They are one of my favorite paranormal beings. I love that they are sexy, strong, and the mystery around them. Loved the first book, Fated, from this series and would love to read Claimed. Thanks for the giveaway.

They are strong, paranormal beings who are immortal, sexy, protective, mysterious, independent, and strong. This series sounds amazing. Can't wait to read it.

I think people like vampires because they are mysterious and something that isn't real so imagination can run wild!

Loved the characters interview! I think people like them because they are sexy and dangerous. Nothing like us regular humans who can't sparkle or have fast reflexes or senses.

Thanks for the interview, I really enjoyed reading it, and I am very curious why I have not come across this series before. I have put it on my wishlist.
Why do people like vampires? Because they are dangerous predators, who are often portrayed as very handsome and rich and tamable by the right woman. Who would not want to be swept of her feet by one? Of course, the whole being food thing is often overlooked, when it is made sexy to be bitten.
Loved the character interview! Can't wait for the release of The Hunted tomorrow!
Super fun character interview! Looking forward to the book even more now. Thanks!
I think people like vampires because of their special abilities (and because most are made out to be dark, mysterious, and ridiculously good looking).
Great character interview. Thank you for the giveaway! 🙂
Great interview. People like vampires because of they powerfulness and unique abilities.
People like vampires for lots of reasons I'm sure- their immortal, their capable of danger, their powerful, their dark and intriguing, and many other things depending on the author.
I enjoyed the interview and thanks for the giveaway opportunity.
Fun fun interview. Plane sex huh? Anywhere and everywhere…

I think people enjoy vampires because they are characters that each author can write in a unique way. They are also most people's first exposure to paranormals.
There are so many stories going back centuries, it's fascinating to imagine people who can live forever, stay young, have mass sex appeal, and superhuman powers! Thanks for the giveway!
Hi everybody! Thank you so much for having the interview here today, and to all of you commenters, thanks for commenting today! I'm such a huge fan of vampires because immortality and super strength would be awesome. Well, and they're sexy. 🙂
Everyone have a wonderful Monday!
Vampires have always had a hypnotic sensuality about them. The have paranormal abilities & they often have a tragic backstory.

Oh my goodness what an adorable interview to read. Many giggles all throughout but I to say question 5 was the best. I could actually visualize you in a room with Conn and Moira bantering back and forth … too fun! This interview only has be bouncing in my seat ready to read Hunted. Come on 12:01!!
As for why people love vampires … well I can't speak for most but for me it has something to do with the thrill you get from rush of danger you feel when around a delectable bad boy. And let's not forget the perks … special powers, immortality and especially the most the pleasure that is experienced with a vampire lover. Talk about hot!!
Rebecca thank you some much for abducting me into your Dark Protector world!
I think folks like them because they are unique, powerful, mysterious, sexy, intelligent, independent…and immortal beings. They are somewhat aloof and broody and women want to get close to them and show them that she can be the one to make him happy. Thx for this AWESOME giveaway op! 🙂

Thanks for a great post and giveaway!
I think that people like vampires b/c they are so mysterious and powerful. 🙂
I think people like vampires because they are exotic, dark, sexy alpha males that are hot as hell.
100 years, pink aprons, pant shucking and ponies. Hmmmm, I really gotta check out this series!
I think we are drawn to vamps because of their sexy allure, all that mysteriousness. And who wouldn't want to tame the beast and have him turn into a cub in your hands?!
People like vampires because they are creatures of 'darkness & night'.
Vampires are sexy and interesting. And there are definitely parts of being one that's appealing. Plus they totally fit the alpha hero, dark and brooding thing. And Buffy! I Love, love, love Angel.
People like vampire because they creature dark, immortal, mysterious and all handsome.
I like their allure. I think many people find them fascinating because in a way they are a lot like humans except with enhanced powers. They look human, act like it but have better senses and blood is their source of life.
Probably because they are always so much more compared to humans. Sexier, darker (not literally), with inhuman strength & abilities.
Vampires are hot!!! They are dark, dangerous, and mysterious. I think people are intrigued by abilities they don't have too.

Vampires are super sexy and dangerous. Everyone likes a danger mixed in with their sex, don't they? Well, er, I do!

Great interview!!! I love reading what characters think and how they feel. This was a fun one. 😉
I think people like vampires because they are the unknown. It is the possibility that they can exist in many different facets. There are so many ways that authors can portray them and their world. They can be strong, sexy, scary, loyal, pleasurable, fast, lethal, possessive etc. I could go on and on with characteristics that they could have. I do love them though!
Thank you for the great giveaway!
They are mysterious and the unknown ultimate bad boy
