Giving names to the characters in my novel HUNTER was a fun
project. I wanted to come up with something for each individual that told the
reader a little bit more about that character’s personality and their roll in
the story.
Hunter, my main character, has a knack for hunting down her
mark by using her telepathic abilities. She prides herself on the amount of
bounties she’s collected and keeps her head down when things get hard. She is
the ultimate bounty hunter.
Seeker is pretty much the exact opposite of Hunter. He takes
his job of saving wayward telepaths seriously. He seeks out and saves those who
are lost and tries to integrate them back into normal life. How many gifted do
you think he’s saved?
If you want a good snuggle or maybe have your head bitten
off, Bear is your guy. He’s described by Hunter as a grump in the morning and
he’s kind of dense when it comes to jokes. He’s good looking and he knows it,
but not the most reliable in a pinch. I would date him though.
There are so many characters that I love, but I guess you
will have to read the book to find out more about the who’s who of the telepath
world.

Sixteen-year-old Hunter belongs to
the Telepathic Alliance for the Latent or Newly manifested, otherwise known as
Talon, a bounty hunter community known for their ruthless tactics. Her latest
mission in San Diego was supposed to be a piece of cake, but when the job takes
a treacherous and deadly turn, not even her telepathic abilities could have
warned her of the dangers lurking around the corner.
There is only one place for Hunter to
go, and that is straight into the hands of the government and their Psychic
Intelligence Team, but even the “normal” world isn’t safe. With each passing
hour throwing her deeper into the game of life and death, Hunter must decide
who to trust before this mission becomes her last.
Excerpt:
14+ due to adult situations
I pulled my
hood up over my head as the rain began to pour from the skies and bounce off
the sidewalk in a serene rhythm. My hands were shaking from the adrenaline that
surged through my body. The hunt never got old. “All right, Bear. I’m in
pursuit of the mark. Get ready.”
“About time,
slow poke.” He chuckled to himself, but I wasn’t amused. Dawn had put me in a
bad mood and it would take a while for it to wear off. If only he was close
enough to punch, maybe I would feel better.
The sidewalk
turned a corner sending me into a crowded marketplace where the people bumped
shoulders more often than not. The smell of fish hit me like a ton of bricks
making me crinkle my nose in disgust. There was nothing I hated more than
seafood. Well, maybe large cities with all the loud voices in my head, but fish
was a close second.
I dug my
hands deep into my jeans pockets to keep them from shaking. Anxiety from
listening to the varied streams of consciousness coursed through my body. I had
to concentrate.
Dawn’s
presence was moving closer through the crowd, I could feel it. Her thoughts
told me that she didn’t like fish much either but this was where her contact
had told her to meet him. My heart skipped a beat with the mention of another
person around, possibly a telepath. Great, we didn’t have much time.
“Bear,” I
shouted into the com. “She’s here to meet someone and it sounds like they’re
going to send her into hiding. I need you close by. This is happening now.”
