Building Character with Frost of Ankh from Sweet Sleep
Happy Friday! It’s time for my blog feature, Building
Character in which you get to meet a character from a book. Talking to a
character outside of their book is fun! Huge. Amounts. Of fun.
Frost of Ankh here.
Nice! A man of few words. It’s great to meet you Frost.
Can you tell us more about your story? Like, what conflict are you up against?
I’m a thousand years old. The love of my life had her memory
wiped. I finally fall in love again and the chick is already dead. It’s a
little bit funny.
Funny. Huh. That’s an interesting way to put it. What are
some of the biggest stumbling blocks you’ve encountered trying to resolve your
conflict?
Well, it’s not really necrophilia. This prophecy says she’s
going to be absorbed into her twin. Two souls becoming one. Her twin sister is
in love with someone else…it’s complicated.
Indeed. What have you learned about yourself, friends, or
family while trying to work your way through this?
My moral compass has always been a little bit off. Pretty much anything goes. I’m not shocked
by my behavior. I guarantee the rest of my clan never even flinched. Grey
thinks my flexible morals are hilarious.
Tell us about your best friend or a side kick.
That would probably be Grey. He’s Scottish and Australian.
It’s a long story. He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. He’s a good guy.
Funny as hell. He’s sleeping with my ex. It’s been a thousand years, if she has
to make her way through the guys in the clan. She could do a lot worse than
Grey. Grey’s job is to calm down Lexy. Grey is her handler. Lexy is clan Ankhs
Dragon. In Clan lingo that means she’s an emotional Dragon and a warrior. She’s
not a green scaly dragon. Grey, Lexy
and Arrianna were the last ones to come back out of the testing. That was over
forty years ago.
Tell us more about you. What is your strongest
personality trait?
I have certain skills with women. I have the same skill set
as Lilarah. I mean Lily, my ex whatever she is. That’s a story for another
place and time.
Yes, let’s keep this interview family friendly. Is there
anything about you that people are always giving you a hard time about? How do
you feel about it?
Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful. That commercial used to
crack me up. It’s how I feel on most days. Girls love me, even some guys. True
love is unattainable for me. I’m a little bit bitter about that, but I manage
to find ways to occupy my time recreationally.
What are your three favorite leisure activities?
I’m afraid I can’t answer that one with a PG rating. Just
kidding, I’m on a personal search for the world’s best burger. Also the world’s
best pizza place. I love beaches and women with curves.
I’m addicted to pizza and have the curves to show it, so
we should get along just fine. What are your three favorite foods?
Burgers, Pizza and Spaghetti. That was an easy one.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
In control of my own life. I want to be free.
Three favorite books or movies?
Mallrats, Super Troopers, All of the Porky’s and Police
Academy movies. We tend to watch a lot of messed up funny shows, Zombie shows
and Horrors. I loved the Harry Potter
series, and anything by Stephen King.
If you could change one thing in this world, what would
you change?
The second tiers (Ankh, Trinity, and Triad) we change the
world every single day, but Mortals (first tiers) never hear about it.
And finally, Frost of Ankh, what words of wisdom would you
like to share with our readers?
In the magical lyrical genius of Rascal Flatts, Life is a
highway; I’m going to ride it all night long. Joking, that was a joke. I know
what I want to say, Stand back up. When life kicks you down. Stand back up.
Thanks for joining us, Frost. Readers, read more about Frost's book, Sweet Sleep here:
A Thousand
years ago the Correction began.
The creation of
new immortals became illegal.
Under third
tier law any human with an ability that uses it to alter a life path has
committed an offense punishable by Correction.
Any human sired
by a third tier soul (immortal) must also be destroyed.
They allow you
to live until after your 16th birthday.
You get a
chance to fight back.
They want you
to fight back.
Those are the
rules.
You won't know
they're coming.
Be Brave for
these are your final moments.
Everyone in
your genetic line must also be Corrected. Erased from the world like a
spiritual virus.
This is your
Sweet Sleep.
If you survive
your Correction and awaken from your Sweet Sleep.
You must join
with the first clan that comes.
You will not
survive on your own.☥
Your miracle was
not free.
There was fine
print to be read at the bottom of your contract.
You have signed up for a second chance at
life, as a sacrificial lamb for the greater good.
You are on your
way to the slaughter.
This is not a
fairy tale... This is a nightmare.

Readers, you can learn about Frost's author here:
Kim Cormack worked for 15 years as an Early Childhood
educator in preschool, daycare, and as an aid. She has been blessed to live
most of her life on Vancouver Island in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. She
currently lives in the gorgeous little town of Port Alberni with her crazy
little family. She is a single mom with two awesome kids, Cameron and Jenna.
Cameron is eight years old and Jenna just graduated. Jenna wants to be an
archaeologist and specialize in ancient languages.
She is a lover
of shenanigans and pranks and she often pulls off one or two a week, just
because she can. She adores all that is wild and hilarious. Her home is full of
laughter, and, if each day She can find a way to make just one person laugh so
hard they have an accident, it was a day well spent for her. She spends most of
her time parenting, creating hijinks, or disappearing into her own mind and
journeying through other realms. She hopes when you read her books you laugh,
you cry and then you step out of your box for a minute and notice the magic
that is absolutely everywhere.
On January 28,
2009, She traveled back to her childhood in a miraculous dream. She woke up in
the middle of the night and typed a whole children’s book into her cell phone.
It was a collection of first moments….being four years old and holding a baby
chick. Then running on the beach and playing in the sand. She says she could
remember so clearly how it all felt – So clearly she lived it all over again.
Another time, she was on the B.C Ferries thinking about her son Cameron and the
shark boots he’d been obsessed with for six months and the shenanigans he
always blamed on the boots. It was the boots that wanted to roll in the mud or
jump in the puddle. (Sharks apparently love the mud. She says she didn't know
this little tidbit of information until she had a son.) As a result, she
published her first children’s book, Shark Boots, in May of 2010. Her second
book, Being Four, followed in 2011. She continued to write many more funny and
strange children's books after these first two. Then one night She had another
dream, only this time it was a nightmare. From that nightmare came an entire
book series, a series that she has been eating, sleeping, and breathing since
that very first sleepless night. When she awoke from the nightmare, she had a
creepy song continuously playing in her head. She immediately wrote down all of
the details of the dream to make the song go away. Yet the song continued to
play….
The result of this nightmare is her first YA book,
Sweet Sleep, the first in her YA Paranormal Fantasy series, The Children of
Ankh, Coming August 7th 2014 from Corvallis Press. She can't wait to share these characters with the world.
