Second, and just as exciting, Bryan set up a website for his main character Crate Northgate. You can access that here. And I have been privy to an awesome, if somewhat awkward, attempt to interview Crate. And you, lucky folks, get to read it here first. Without further ado~
To whom it may
concern,
My name's Joshua
Roy. I'm writing in regards to the man
known as Creighton Northgate, or "Crate" for short. I had heard of him months ago through a few
local rumors, but finally learned a bit more about him through the http://www.whoiscratenorthgate.weebly.com site
(which I'll also send a copy of this letter to). A few days after visiting that site, I was in
the right place at the right time. It
was a seedy little bar just outside town (I live in the middle of nowhere in
Arkansas) and I heard a couple of fellas talking about the man that George and
Ella Jenkins had hired to root out something going on at their farm. They pointed him out to me, sitting at the
bar. Said his name was "Crate
Something or Other". I switched on
my cell phone's audio record feature and tried to strike up a conversation with
him. I could tell within the first three
words he said that he was getting close to being shit-hammer drunk. It wasn't a long conversation, but I figured
it would interest somebody.
Joshua - You look like a feller who could use another drink! Name's Joshua! Never
seen you before...whereabouts you from ?
Joshua - Never knew anyone from "Around"...that over by Bluff City?
Hey next rounds on me!
Crate - I
appreciate it, but I think I've about had enough, friend. Last thing I
need's a hangover in the morning. Just needed a couple to...to help me sleep.
Joshua - They had to call in some sort of voodoo snake handler or something.
How'd you hear about it?
Crate - They
called me. I ain't got much use for snakes, though. Or
voodoo. Had a bad time with that shit a few years back.
Joshua – How the hell did you end up doing this?
Crate - Some
folks are good at football. So they play
football. Some of 'em are good at
numbers. So they become accountants or
something. I've got...talents that let
me do what I do. Beats being a carpenter
all to hell. Ain't like I've got a lot
of competition.
Joshua – Hell…you are kinda famous.
Everybody's heard a little about you.
Didn't you have a brother or something that went missing?
(A long pause – I could tell I'd stepped
over the line)
Joshua – Hey man! I'm just –
Crate – I
said go to hell.
And that was it. He finished his beer and left the bar a
minute later. I never saw him again, but
I heard that that same night he managed to take care of whatever problem it was
that had really been going on out at that farm.
Thanks for listening,
Joshua Roy
Go on, you know you want to see what all the fuss is about.

Yay, this sounds like such a great book!
I don't know if I'd want to run into that fellow again. Seems like issues.
Cindy~ It is a great book! I haven't heard of anyone not liking it. Thanks for stopping by.
John~ Oh, he has issues! But it's such fun getting to know why he has issues. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

This is definitely a great way for Bryan to break into his saga series, Stacey. I was captivated by the first installment and a glimpse of what is to come. And, of course, I'm glad there's more on the way. Another great Angelic Knight Press family member!
