Guest Author: Katee Robert

Katee RobertI am excited to welcome author Katee Robert, who’s celebrating the release of her third Sanctify novel, Queen of Wands.

When Jenny O’Keirna gets a chance to slip her older brother, the new king of Hansarda’s, leash, she jumps at it, even if it means playing babysitter to a too-smart-for-his-own-good inventor. She’s not expecting the attraction that sparks between them—or that Sanctify is just as desperate to take him for their own.

Never in Mac Flannery’s wildest dreams did he imagine Jenny would be the one sent for him. He sees beyond the mad grin the sexy princess of Hansarda presents to the world, and that combination of vulnerability and wicked humor is a siren call he can’t resist.

But Sanctify is always three steps ahead of them. On the run—and unable to keep their hands off each other—Jenny and Mac devise an insane plan: kidnap the leader of Sanctify, and stop this war once and for all. Unfortunately, they’ve just played right into his hands…

3 Things You Didn’t Know About Jenny O’Keirna

KRobert-Queen of WandsThe heroine of Queen of Wands is a character who made an appearance in the first book of the Sanctify series. Boone’s little sister, Jenny O’Keirna. She’s the impulsive wild child who’s as deadly as she is mouthy. On the surface, what you see is what you get with her, but as often happens, that’s not really the case.

So here are three things you didn’t know about Jenny.

She really, really wants to be taken seriously.

You wouldn’t think it from the way she acts and speaks, but Jenny is desperate to prove herself to her brother and the people around her. She’s always been the wild child, but now that she’s trying to take on more responsibility, everyone is digging in their heels. This is why the mission that takes place in QUEEN OF WANDS is so vital—it’s her first chance to prove she’s trustworthy of holding responsibility without a babysitter looking over her shoulder. She’d determined not to screw it up—even if the universe seems to be conspiring against her.

She loved her father.

Anyone who’s read Queen of Wands knows that he was a terrible person at best and a sadist at worst, but to Jenny he was dad. Rationally, she knows he was dangerous and that he hurt her brothers both in horrific ways, but that doesn’t completely erase the fact that he was such an instrumental person in her early years. He’s the one who taught her to fight and was instrumental in creating her take-no-prisoners attitude. So, even though she knows that it’s a blessing that he’s dead and gone, there’s a part of her that wishes it didn’t have to be that way.

She’s terrified of being caged.

Jenny is happiest with a ship at her command and a universe full of possibilities laid out before her. She never wanted to be linked to a throne and trapped dirtside for huge lengths of time. When she and her brother ran their smuggling business, she was happiest. But now that he’s taken the throne, she’s forced to face the fact that she’s heir until his children come of age—and everything that entails. Similarly, she sees relationships as things that come with strings attached and avoids them like a plague.

That’s Jenny O’Keirna in a nutshell. She loves deeply but rarely lets people close enough to know all the aspects of her personality—which is the exact thing that draws Mac to her. He sees beneath the mask and is intrigued by her mass of contraditions.

I am a 30-something SAHM with two adorable boys and a supportive husband who is very tolerant of my reading addiction. I love to read and easily go through about a dozen books a month – well I did before I had kids. Now, not so much. After my first son was born, I began to take my hobby of reviewing a little more serious and started Literary Escapism to help with my sanity. I love to discuss the fabulous novels I’ve read and meeting all the wonderful people in the book blogging community has been amazing.
