[Mythology Blog Tour: Tweets With Jonathan Draper and Giveaway]

 When Helen annouced that she was having a tour for her first novel "Mythology" I knew that I had to be a part of it!  Not only have I already read the novel and loved it so much that I gave it 5 unicorns, I have also developed somewhat of a crush on one of her well written characters.  Helen and I have been twitter pals for quite some time and I happen to know that one of her characters in the 2nd "Mythology" novel shares my name!  But lets get back to the crush, shall we.  I'm talking about angel Jonathan Draper!  Jonathan even has a twitter account and accepted my request to be interviewed via twitter.  He's a man of few words, so that 140 character limit felt comfortable for him and he rocked it!  Let's talk about the book first though, before introducing you to the man.

My Twitter Interview With Jonathan Draper:
(click on the links to add us all on Twitter)

@BlueBowGrl (Christianna Marks/Me)

So, I think we all wanna know. Why art as your day job?

@JG_Draper (Jonathan Draper)

I had an interest in art when I was mortal. Painting back then, photography today. (I do move with the times. Sometimes ;) )

@BlueBowGrl (Christianna Marks/Me)

Occasionally it seems. What is it about photography that you enjoy?

JG_Draper (Jonathan Draper)

Capturing unusual moments, people. I believe I told Hope that I like to "capture exemplary examples of the human species."

@BlueBowGrl (Christianna Marks/Me)

I remember that you did. Speaking of Hope... tell is about your first impression of her? We don't really your point of view.

@JG_Draper (Jonathan Draper)

 She is one of the exemplary ones. Something about her struck me right away. I cannot divulge what, but you will see in book 2 ;)

@BlueBowGrl (Christianna Marks/Me)

Oooo, book two! Do we get to meet more Guardians in that one? I mean I know it's about Hope and @MicahCondie, but I want more.

@JG_Draper (Jonathan Draper)

Oh, yes. You will get to meet more guardians, demons, and..others. Such as your namesake, Christianna.

@brainz4christ (Christianna The Angel)

*coughs* *waves*

@BlueBowGrl (Christianna Marks/Me)

Guys I just crashed my own party. Sounds about right...

@BlueBowGrl (Christianna Marks/Me)

Can you tell us what she is? This Christianna character? (directed at Jonathan)

@JG_Draper (Jonathan Draper)

Christianna is a special kind of guardian. And not just because she favors sparkly lipstick.

@BlueBowGrl (Christianna Marks/Me)

 She sounds like a class angel. Just saying. But you, this is about you. So how do you feel about Hope and @MicahCondie being...

... all together and what not? Do angels get jealous?

@JG_Draper (Jonathan Draper)

We experience the same emotions as we did when we were mortal, yes. This is why I don't normally let them get too close to...

 ...me in the emotional sense. Hope is different. Am I jealous? Naturally, but not in the way that you might think.

@BlueBowGrl (Christianna Marks/Me)

It's cause you like that Christianna girl! Also known as I want to know all of your secrets, but I'll settle for one. Spill...

@JG_Draper (Jonathan Draper)

Haha! Christianna and I did have a "relationship" three centuries ago (give or take), but that's not why ;)

@BlueBowGrl (Christianna Marks/Me)

Knew it! Is that the secret that you're going to share? Or do you have another one to add into the mix?

@JG_Draper (Jonathan Draper)

A had a daughter once. But she was taken away from my me and my wife during wartime.

@BlueBowGrl (Christianna Marks/Me)

Whoa, way to drop a bomb on the unsuspecting public there Jonathan!

@JG_Draper (Jonathan Draper)

Well, you wanted to know ;)

@BlueBowGrl (Christianna Marks/Me)

 That I did! So any last words for the readers out there? Other than a past relationship with my namesake and a kid?

@JG_Draper (Jonathan Draper)

Last words from an immortal? Perhaps this: Talk not of wasted affection; affection never was wasted. ;)

That is from my old friend Henry Longfellow, in case you were wondering.

@BlueBowGrl (Christianna Marks/Me)

Love it! Wonderful parting words! Thanks for winging it with me ;-)

@JG_Draper (Jonathan Draper)

Oh, yes, and of course... make sure you keep reading our books. That's what keeps us truly immortal.

@BlueBowGrl (Christianna Marks/Me)

 That I will! Need to know what happens with you and the rest of the gang!

@JG_Draper (Jonathan Draper)

Thank you, my dear Christianna. It was a pleasure. *kisses your hand* Shall we go get that sushi with @brainz4christ now?

@BlueBowGrl (Christianna Marks/Me)

Hell yes! (pun intended)

@JG_Draper (Jonathan Draper)

Excellent! I'll get the car :)

@brainz4christ (Christianna The Angel)
