#New Release from Tena Stetler: AN ANGEL'S UNINTENTIONAL ENTANGLEMENT

Tena Stetler visits today to celebrate the recent release of AN ANGEL'S UNINTENTIONAL ENTANGLEMENT. Tena writes paranormal romance for The Wild Rose Press starring witches, warlocks, angels and vampires. Oh my! Tena answers a few of my questions about her writing, and she's got an exclusive excerpt for us. Please welcome Tena Stetler!


Do you have any unusual writing habits?

I don’t know whether they are necessarily unusual or not.  I work on three novels at a time. One in research, one in edits and writing one.  I write the scenes, chapters, stories as they come to me, which are always out of order.  In the end somehow everything comes together in the right chronological order. Amazes me each time it happens. LOL

What do you like best about your hero in An Angel’s Unintentional Entanglement?

Warrior Angel, Caden Silverwind, lives alone in Colorado rugged Rockies, healing from physical wounds as well as the mental anguish suffered during battles with dark demons.  Against the advice of his superiors he’s on an indefinite sabbatical in the mountains. Their rugged strength and majestic beauty allows him the serenity to pick up the pieces, face his own fears, and contemplate the future, if there was one. When he finds a woman on a trail barely clinging to life after a horrendous beating he uses his weakened power to save her, risking his own life.

What do you like best about your heroine? 

Her strength, loyalty to friends and family, and her ability to weather circumstances that would defeat most individuals. Bureau of Indian Affairs Agent, Mystic Rayne’s personal dilemma and assignment nearly gets her killed. Yet she will to do whatever it takes to right the wrongs perpetrated on innocents.  Divine intervention is a complication she never expected.

How do you choose the names and physical characteristics of your characters?

Believe it or not, my characters enter my mind fully formed and with their names and demanding to have their stories told.

Do you base them on real people?

I don’t think so.

How can readers reach you or find you online?

Tell us a little about your current works in progress.

I’m awaiting galley and cover art on A Magic Redemption, the fifth book in A Demon’s Witch Series. As well as, writing a paranormal romance for The Deerbourne Inn Series that my publisher The Wild Rose developed. And I’m excited to be working on my first cozy mystery.

Do you have an event coming up you’d like to tell us about?

Other than the online events listed on my website, I have a booth to sell my books at the Colorado Springs ComicCon.  I’ve never attended a ComicCon, so this should be interesting.  This year, I decided to try one thing a month that scares me.  This is it.  If your readers have any suggestions about the ComicCon, I’d love to hear them.

Blurb: 
Fallen warrior angel, Caden Silverwind, lives alone in Colorado's rugged Rockies, healing from physical wounds as well as the mental anguish suffered during battles with dark demons. Then he finds a woman barely clinging to life after a horrendous beating. He is not prepared for the entanglement she brings to his life, nor the feelings she awakens in him.

Bureau of Indian Affairs Agent, Mystic Rayne’s personal dilemma and assignment nearly gets her killed. Divine intervention is a complication she never expected and her growing attraction to Caden is undeniable. Can she trust him with her secret?

Their quest to uncover her attacker takes them from the pristine mountains in Colorado to the wilds of Wyoming. Along the way, they find answers which may place them in more danger. Determined to solve the mystery, they must also navigate their feelings and fears to find love and unite heaven and earth.

Exclusive Excerpt:

She had fifty new voice messages and twenty text messages. The text screen popped up with 611 on it. She went pale and checked the rest of the texts. All 611 and all sent this afternoon.

“What is it?” Caden put his hand on her shoulder as he squinted at the screen.

“That’s a code Chinoah and I used as children. It means she’s in big trouble.” She turned her worried eyes to Caden. “We have to find her. He may have killed her by now.”

“Not if she doesn’t know where you are. She is still leverage for him against you as long as she’s alive. I’ll contact Nat.”

Holding her phone to her chest, Mystic followed him into the bedroom. He slid open a closet door and reached far back in the wardrobe, his fingers rested on his celestial diamond sword and platinum spelled daggers. Grabbing the chest harness, he slipped his arms through and sheathed the daggers. Then he slung the leather scabbard over his back slipping the magical sword inside.

Never in his wildest dreams did he expect to wear his weapons again. In fact, he’d almost given them to his friend Killian, who refused, saying a warrior, even a retired warrior never parts with his weapons. Idly, he wondered if Killian had foreseen this situation. He’d heard rumors that Killian had inherited the second sight of his Scottish mother, which he retained through the angel transition. Killian never confirmed or denied such talent.

Thanks for visiting, Tena!
