INTERVIEWS WITH MY CHARACTERS... L'EVALLIER 8

11/1/2015

What would you say was your finest achievement?
I am proud of the way Balkish, brother to the late much missed Rodish, and I secretly helped our people during the thankfully brief period of the overthrow of the Queen.  We provided food from our estates, kept certain people out of sight of the triumphant Witch and her lackeys and stayed well away from them ourselves.  That was not as easy as it sounds - it seemed the Witch had spies everywhere and, naturally, she would have the best crystal ball techonology - but we managed it.  I was also proud of how once the Witch was gone, I, and those of the Council who survived, helped to restore the Queen quickly and get the business of government going again.

Have you ever misused magic?
No but, like any other magical being, I have had to fight the temptation to do so.  The trouble with misusing anything is that nature/natural justice/call it what you will has a nasty habit of turning the tables so I judged it prudent years ago to specifically not misuse magic.  It was very hard to fight the temptation to change my mind over this when the Witch was ruling the Kingdom.  The arugment of course was it would have been in a good cause, and it would have been quite genuinely so, but magic attracts magic.  There would have been some sort of battle with the Witch and, talented though I am magically, I had no idea how good Madam was and assumed she would beat me.  Besides the people I was helping needed me to stay alive so I could continue to help and protect them.

    I'm Allison Symes and I write novels, short stories as well as some scripts and poems.  I love setting my work in my magical world, the Fairy Kingdom, and my favourite character is Eileen, who believes hypocrisy is something that happens to other people without caring that statement is hypocritical in itself!  Eileen is huge fun to write for and about.
