Tiina Yadav, swords warrior & Chosen One

Here's the next in the series of profile pieces with the Chosen Ones who have been enlisted by Mimir the wise master, to save our universe from the evil Shaitan. Next up is TIINA Yadav, swords warrior, Chosen One.

Tiina? Is it just Tiina or do you have a surname? I have always preferred to use just my first. As the stories go, for a very long time even the gods only answered to first names. They never did have surnames. Its kinda intriguing to have only a first name, don't you think?

How would you describe yourself? That's a tough one. Yudi calls me a free spirit, but Rai says I am just too impatient. I can never resist a dare, if someone tells me not to do something, well I've just got to give it a shot to find out why.... It does get me into a lot of trouble I can tell you that!

What is your problem in life? Political? World Peace? Hey that's way too serious a question. In one word I think its men! Can't do with them, can't do without them.

Who do you normally hang with? Since I met Artemis, my cool shape-shifting spaceship pal, she's been my constant companion. She doesn't like it when I try to talk to her about Yudi thought, I wonder why?

Are you in a relationship? Yudi is my childhood sweetheart... and typically he always knows just how to hurt me. Rai's definitely my BFF. He's always there for me. I'd love to visit his birthplace Bombay... perhaps there I'll find a home to replace Ka Surya.

And who do you love to hate....? It would be so easy to say Shaitan... Don't get me wrong, he is my nemesis in many ways. I am just waaay too upset with Yudi--why can't he just pick up his sword and fulfill the prophecy of Shaitan being killed by his son--Perhaps its time I took matters into my own hands.

Any regrets then? Egreog... what was that all about? He just left without saying a proper goodbye I demand a second book in which I get to the real fun stuff like showing off my sword play skills properly (and please can I just get to see Egreog one last time!)
Any message for your fans? Look out for the next book in the series, Return to Seven Islands. I promise more romance and if you thought Shaitan was evil...well you ain't seen anything yet.

You go girl!. Thank you for your time (By the way, I love your jump suit too, do you and Rai share the same designer?) Follow Tiina in her ultimate face off with Shaitan and his henchmen. Go to The Destiny of Shaitan now on Amazon  http://tiny.cc/szqsew

Interview with Rai Ramachandran, Chosen One

Starting today we feature a series of profile pieces with the Chosen Ones who have been enlisted by Mimir the wise master, to save our universe from the evil Shaitan. First up is a conversation with Rai Ramachandran, inter-galaxy tour operator, alumni of Arkana - the prestigious Academy of Half Lives, Chosen One. 

Rai Ramachandran, Chosen One

Ray? What is the story behind your name? That's Rai with an 'i'. I was named Darich after Keane Richards, one of the most infamous rock stars in the galaxy. Though why my mother couldn’t just call me Richard I don’t know! You can call me Rai – short and simple, (with an i please!) 

Tell me more...After Shaitan killed my mother (who was his lover, so I think Shaitan is my father.... I don’t know for sure) I grew up in an orphanage on the streets of Bombay. I gotta say that Slumdog Millionaire was probably based on my life, except for the millionaire bit. Things just aren’t that simple in real life are they? 

What is your problem in life? Political? World Peace? Ah! It’s a little more personal than that. I am between two worlds in many ways. I am not ready to talk about it.... yet 

Who do you normally hang with? Yudi and Tiina are my best friends. They are childhood sweethearts too. First love and all that... sometimes I do feel like a third wheel, especially since I have a slight crush on Tiina (but don’t tell her as she is also my BFF)

Are you in a relationship? It’s complicated!

Anyone we know? Uh! no comment... but if you read The Destiny of Shaitan, you will find out more about my chequered past.

And who would you love to hate....? You mean Shaitan? (Shudder)....Darth Wader seems tame by comparison!

Any regrets then? If only I had met my mother. I wish I could have saved her from Shaitan. 

Any message for your fans? Can I tell you a secret? I am glad I am not like Yudi who always loses his confidence at the last minute. Or for that matter like Tiina! Is that girl ambitious, I tell you! Me? I believe you only have one life, even if it is a Half Life... so you gotto follow your heart and live every moment as if it is your last. 

Ok! I appreciate your honesty. Thank you for your time (By the way, I love your blue jump suit, who designed it?)
