The Archangels Q&A

Hello,

A few days ago, I asked fans to send their questions about the series. Below are the questions answered.

Q: How many books will be in The Archangel Series? 
A: There will be eight books in the whole series. However, I am strongly considering making short in-between stories to tell the untold stories that didn't make it to any of the books. 

Q: Do you know how your series will end? 
A: Yes, I know exactly how it will end. Thinking about it makes me sad and happy at the same time. I will miss these characters, but I'm excited to write my next series as well. 

Q: What roles do female characters take on in your series?
A: The female characters in my books take on a bunch of different roles including the leader, the warrior, the damsel, the lady, the villain, and the victim. I think it's important to have both strong male and female characters because not only does it make it more realistic, but I also believe it helps the story move forward in more ways than one. 

Q: How did you come up with the idea for the series?
A: I believe it was the second episode of Supernatural that gave me the idea. The episode featured a wendigo (native american werewolf) and the brothers were hunting it and that's how I got the idea for the entire series. 

Q: How does your series differ from Twilight? 
A: Twilight is a love story between a mortal girl, a vampire, and a skinwalker. Though The Archangel Series does have romantic sub-plots, the series centers upon the never-ending war against evil. The series is a bloody and gritty and the only thing I can compare it to would be the Underworld movies. 

Q: Why is it called The Archangel Series?A: In the books, there is an organization that has dedicated their lives to fighting evil and they are called The Archangels. Most of the characters in the series fight with the Archangels. 

Q: What will the title of book 3 be?
A: Book 3 will be called FREEDOM. 

Q: What do each of your books represent? 
A: IMMORTAL represented family. RESISTANCE represented discovery. FREEDOM will represent independence. 

Q: How do you come up with your characters' names?
A: It depends on the character. A lot of times, I will do a search for a certain type of name - region, ethnicity, time era, etc.. For the main characters, Alexander and Marcus. I got Alexander from Alexander the Great and Marcus from Marcus Aurelius. Both strong names and figures that I've personally respected. 

Q: Have you ever used people you know to create a character? 
A: Yes. I've used appearance for some and personality for others. For instance, Sinead's appearance is based off someone I used to know. Alexander's personality is based off my own. 

Q: If they were to make a movie based off your books, who would you want to play the characters? 
A: I've given this a lot of thought actually. Perfect fit for Alexander and Marcus would be Liam and Chris Hemsworth. 

Thanks for reading!

Facebook Live Feed Recap

Hello, so if you follow me on Facebook, you'll notice I've started to do some live videos discussing my book and other things.

If you check out my book on amazon and click the little picture, you are able to read the first four chapters of my book for free and part of the fifth chapter as well. So if you are undecided about buying it, you can read some of the book for free there.

If you'd like more regular updates, you can follow me on Twitter @Tim_Routledge and @Immortal_Book1. Follow me on Instagram at @slimmy_timmy and on Snapchat @slimtim2293 and of course on Facebook @Tim Routledge.

As the editing phase of Book 2 comes to a close, I'll be posting more pre-release things like concept art and other things.

I've started Book 3 already as well and I also have figured out the plot for the rest of the series (which will be 6 books total).

NO SPOILERS HERE

But Book 1: Immortal and Book 2: Resistance. The rest of the series' titles will be "classified" for now, but worry not - they will be revealed as time goes on.

After the series is finished, I will release single short stories that are related to the series. I currently have six in mind as well. Those will be significantly shorter than the books, but each will tell a different story not mentioned in any of the books.

Another thing I shared in my video was the next series I will write after I finish The Archangel Series. It is called The Tales of Telaria.

Tales of Telaria is a world I created from scratch. Created the world, drew the map, created an alphabet, created species, and a bunch of other things. If you've ever read Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Narnia, or the Eragon series, you'll love this series I'm working on. Mythology and fantasy are two of my favorite things in the world and this series is so intense and has so much depth, and I just know you'all will love it.

I also mentioned a sci-fi series that I am working on. The title of that one is currently still underdevelopment. But it will be a gritty, dark sci-fi series. Thinking another six book series. Will be written much like Game of Thrones - with each chapter having a different character. I'm a pretty huge sci-fi fan - loving Star Wars, Star Trek, Mass Effect, etc.. So you'll be in for something pretty epic when you read that series.

As I also mentioned, I have tons of stories that I'm planning - even more than what I have mentioned.

Please check out Immortal on Amazon. Pick it up on Kindle for $2.99 and on paperback for $14.99. Check it out, read it, leave a review! I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks for reading!
