Wow, what are the odds I would have a military romance novel out and a blog to write on the one day a year reserved to honor military spouses?  Crazy coincidence!  And very cool!  For those of you who don’t know,  I am a military spouse.  My husband served in the USAF as an aviator for over twenty years – nine moves, multiple war deployments, and many, many TDY days away from home. Without question, the role of military spouse is demanding, requiring lots of independence (I’ve snaked more than my fair share of the kids’ Legos out of the toilet.)  But I’m incredibly proud of my husband’s service and hope I have supported him to the best of my ability.  While his accomplishments are his own, I do appreciate that the sacrifices made by spouses are recognized on this special day.

I’ve been asked a few times why a Goblin prince would have wings (of course if you read the book you’ll find out:-). To clarify: No, Dai is not an angel, far from it. He’s been a Celtic prince, a Roman slave, a mage, a monk, a scholar, a soldier—never an angel or any other winged creature. Okay, but why does he have wings on the cover?

So what are the wings? Excellent question! While Dai has plenty of magical tattoos and marking, the wings are more than ink or magic, they are worse, much, much worse. The wings are a ghostly manifestation of his hate and his refusal to forgive and move on as it feels wrong. He wanted vengeance and was denied. It takes an innocent child to point out the danger he is in and once he sees the wings he understands the full extent of the damage he’s holding onto, of course getting free is a whole other battle. ~~~ Brigit…
