Jophiel Character Interview / Patricia Josephine's Path of Angels Series

**************************************************


I had the pleasure of interviewing Jophiel aka Joe from the third book in Patricia Josephine's Path of Angels series. The three of us hope you enjoy it!


Hi, Joe! What is Jophiel, Path of Angels about?

Joe: I am SO glad you asked. *opens mouth, but freezes when Gabriel folds his arms and glares. Snaps mouth shut.*


Here’s the blurb:

They must fight to stay on the path.

Joe embraces his duty without fear or hesitation, always ready for the next battle. But the path has never been easy. With Michael’s return, they uncover a truth more dangerous than they ever imagined. Their enemy plans to unleash the devil himself, Lucifer. Help comes in the form of an unlikely alley: a member of the fallen.

Mariangela is trying to make amends by protecting the child she is carrying. After blindly following Lucifer in the rebellion, her misguided allegiance came with a price: banishment from heaven. Now, as she strives for forgiveness in the human world, she must fight to prevent Uriel, a fallen archangel, from using her child to free evil from Hell.

The path becomes a battleground, one which may already be lost.

Title: Jophiel

1. What is your job?

Joe: *Plants hands on hips* I fight evil that lurks in the dark! Or, ya know, *shrugs* Fallen angels.

2. That must be thrilling and dangerous. What do you do for fun?

Joe: Annoy Gabriel. Honestly, we don’t have much down time, so hobbies have fallen by the wayside.

3. What is your biggest pet peeve?

Joe: Hmm, good question. I’m a pretty easy going guy. Not a lot gets to me. Now, Gabe on the other hand… *evil grin*

4. Gabriel sounds like he needs a few shots of something strong. *winks* How did you meet Mariangela?

Joe: Some punks were messing with her. Who picks on a pregnant lady? Really, I should have kicked their asses.

5. You should have! What was your first impression of her? (Other than her being pregnant.)

Joe: That she is an angel. I mean, she really is, but at the time I didn’t know, so… *shrugs*

6. What kind of trouble do the two of you get into?

Joe: I take offense to that question. Mary and I are angels. A.N.G.L.E.S. Do you not see my halo? *circles finger over head*

7. Haha! I guess we’ll skip that one. What moment of Jophiel, Path of Angels was your favorite?

Joe: That’s kind of tough to answer because I don’t want to give away any spoilers. Hmmm. There is a great bonding moment between me and another character. *wipes eye* It’s just heartwarming.

8. Is there anything you did in Jophiel, Path of Angels that you would change if you could?

Joe: Given my ability is being able to see events from the past, I’ve learned to not worry about what’s happened. You can’t change it, so why worry?


Hyper Round:

Food: Donuts
Drink: Miller Lite
Movie: Iron Man
Band: Metallica
Book: Ugh, please. Mikey’s the one that likes to read.
Animal: TIGER!
Color: Black. Oh wait, that’s the absence of color, isn’t it? I still pick it.




About the Author:

Patricia Josephine never set out to become a writer. In fact, she never considered it an option during high school and college. She was all about art. On a whim, she wrote down a story bouncing in her head. That was the start of it and she hasn't regretted a moment. She writes young adult under the name Patricia Lynne.

Patricia lives with her husband in Michigan, hopes one day to have what will resemble a small petting zoo, has a fondness for dying her hair the colors of the rainbow, and an obsession with Doctor Who.

    1. If he wasn't an archangel, I'd say there were horns holding up that halo.

  12. Congratulations on your release, Patricia! It's nice to see an angel character who isn't some stereotype. Real angels are a lot more complex than just cherubs sitting on clouds or forces of destruction.

    2. Thanks, Medeia. Yeah, you don't want to mess with Lucifer, but there's another baddie that the boys have to watch out for. Lucifer is trapped right now, so he can't do much to my boys.

  27. This sounds interesting. Patricia should meet another Michigan author who writes about angels,both fallen and slackers, Rob Krouse. Here is a review of his first book: http://sagecoveredhills.blogspot.com/2009/10/mercury-falls-book-review.html

  28. I never planned to be a writer either. Actually I was 40 before I decided what I want to do when I grow up.
