First in Mythos Academy Series
Young Adult
My name is Gwen Frost, and I go to Mythos Academy — a school of myths, magic and warrior whiz kids, where even the lowliest geek knows how to chop off somebody's head with a sword and Logan Quinn, the hottest Spartan guy in school, also happens to be the deadliest.Greetings and salutations! First of all, I want to thank Rie for having me on the blog today. Thanks so much, Rie!
But lately, things have been weird, even for Mythos. First, mean girl Jasmine Ashton was murdered in the Library of Antiquities. Then, someone stole the Bowl of Tears, a magical artifact that can be used to bring about the second Chaos War. You know, death, destruction and lots of other bad, bad things. Freaky stuff like this goes on all the time at Mythos, but I'm determined to find out who killed Jasmine and why—especially since I should have been the one who died. .
So today, Rie asked me for the inside scoop on Logan Quinn, the Spartan bad boy who is as cute as he is deadly in Touch of Frost, the first book in my Mythos Academy young adult urban fantasy series. So here’s a little more about Logan, in his own words:
Why did you help pick up Gwen's stuff after the collision? Chivalry or did you find Gwen attractive?
Logan: A little bit of both. Helping her pick up her stuff was just the right thing to do, even if she did run into me on the quad. As for Gypsy girl, she’s cute with her freckles and those big violet eyes. And I am always interested in talking to a cute girl.
Do you like to maintain the bad boy rep? Or is it something you are simply stuck with?
Logan: I gotta say that I don’t mind being known as a bad boy. I am a Spartan after all. We’re pretty fierce warriors, so the bad boy rep fits in nicely with that.
In the beginning of your attraction to Gwen was it simply the thrill of the chase or something deeper?
Logan: I’ll admit that most girls like me right from the start, so I was curious as to why Gypsy girl didn’t. It made me want to know more about her, and now that I do, well, let’s just say that I want to know even more.
You have impressive fighting skills. Who would you say trained you the most?
Logan: Coach Ajax at the academy has really helped me hone my fighting skills since I’ve been going to Mythos. Coach Ajax is one of the best fighters that I’ve ever seen, and I want to be just as tough and deadly as he is someday.
When was the first moment you knew you truly liked Gwen?
Logan: When she threatened to have her grandma curse me. You gotta love a girl with attitude.

This was so in keeping with the character of Logan from the story. I can easily see him sitting at ease in his chair with a smile on his face answering these questions, not sure if that makes me certifiable but who cares it was fun to read the interview and think back to all the scenes that the questions point to from the book.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Rie and thanks for the enjoyable Q&A read Jennifer.
I'm glad you liked!
ReplyDeleteHe is quite the character. Hopefully we'll be able to see more of him in the next!
Jackie -- Thanks! Glad you liked the post and thought it was in character.
ReplyDeleteRie -- Oh, yes. There is more of Logan (and Gwen) coming up in Kiss of Frost.
As though I needed more reasons to fall completely and utterly in love with Logan. Can't wait for the next book. After all, the sequel can't be called Kiss of Frost for nothing.
