Juliana Stone
Thanks for stopping by Under the Covers today! Let’s get to know you better. Who is Juliana Stone? Tell us five interesting things about yourself that readers wouldn't know. 
Glad to be here! All right this sounds like fun. Here are five things that I don’t think readers know about me.
1. I hate peas more than anything on this planet. Especially from the can. YUCK.
2. I’m by no means an artist, but I can draw/sketch the prettiest horse you’ve ever seen. As for people? They are sticks my friends.
3. I’ve fallen off stage before. Not my best moment, but there you have it. And yes, it was in front of hundreds of people.
4. I love hockey with a passion and favour the Philadelphia Flyers. I especially like the line that features the Ginger boys, Hartnell and Giroux.
5. I have danced on a few tables in my time. ‘nuff said!
Congratulations on your brand new series, The League of Guardians! Why did you decide to start a new series and how did the idea of this new series come to be?
Ah, this is an easy question really, as my Jaguar Warriors had always been planned to be three books. Jaxon, Jagger and Julian. But I had this character Declan that I loved dearly and when it came time to write his book, The Leauge was born.
I knew I wanted to keep the same type of world, where I have a lot of different supernatural creatures and everything just evolved from that idea and expanding into a world where the thin fabric that keeps us all safe is guarded by a bunch of supernatural superfriends….or enemies in some cases.
You release the prequel novella to your new series called WRONG SIDE OF HELL. Can you tell us a bit about this story?
Wrong Side of Hell is a stand alone novella that takes place before Wicked Road to Hell (Declan’s book) It’s just one snippet in time and revolves around a hellhound, Logan Winters who’s been ordered to retrieve a soul from the ‘grey realm’ which is purgatory. There’s a very small cameo from Declan and Ana near the end, but this first novella shows a bit more of Bill who runs the League and explains a bit of what the League is all about. The novella does leave a lot of questions hanging, and I plan to continue Logan and Kira’s story in the next novella (still untitled) which will be released in the fall.
The first book, WICKED ROAD TO HELL features Declan O'Hare and Ana DeLacrux whom we have seen in the last Jaguar Warriors books. What can readers expect to see in this latest book?
Well, Ana and Declan have always had a prickly relationship. He loves her. Has loved her for years and yet she’s never once returned those feelings though I think the readers know she’s had them all along.
This book has a lot of action, second chances at love, facing of fears and some very hot loving!
Declan is a great character. What would you say is his greatest strength? What would you say is his greatest weakness?
Declan’s greatest strength is his loyalty. He will go above and beyond and will do anything for those that he loves. His weakness? Ana…she’s always been the one thing that can destroy him.
How many books do you plan to have in this new series?
If the readers love them I’ll keep writing them! The next novella releases in the fall and King of the Damned, which is the next full length book releases in December. Readers can check out my website for further details on books in this series.
The next book to come out is called KING OF THE DAMNED. Can you tell us one little teaser about this book?
King of the Damned was an absolute pleasure to write. It’s about redemption and sacrifice. The main character is Azaiel, who if you remember was the evil entity in His Darkest Embrace. He has a lot more layers to him and it was fun stripping them away and writing a strong heroine who can handle him. I’ve excerpts posted on this book page, so feel free to read them!
What are some essential materials you require in order to write a book?
I’m a pantser, so really…just a clear vision of the characters and a beginning, middle and end. From there I just write.
Quick-fire questions!
Jaguars or sorcerers? Both of course!
plotter or panster? Pantser
sunrise or sunset? sunset
beach or mountain? mountain
coffee or tea? coffee
piercings or tattoos? tattoos
ebook or print book? Both, though I’m leaning toward E lately!
