Introducing Mirko from Descended by Blood & GIVEAWAY

I got to spend some time with Mirko from Descended by Blood and he agreed to answer my questions. 

Silly boy, no one warned him about my questions. HeHe...

We met at the very secure Base. 

Man, was that interesting getting through your security.

Thanks for meeting with me and welcome to StuckInBooks.com.

Thank you for coming all the way out here. We don't usually let outsiders into The Base, but I have it on good authority from Angeline that you're to be trusted.

You’ve been around a long time. Any broken hearts in your past?

I believe I've managed to break many hearts in the past. And they weren't intentional, mind you. But you can't force something that isn't there.

If you could have any one of the powers that the Pijawikas have, which one would you choose?

Ah, see. Now this question could lead to some thinking I find myself weak or incapable, which is not the case. However, had powers been able to carry over to Zao Duhs, I would have liked to have gotten some telekinesis in my transformation. I could think of more than a few situations where that could come in handy...

What’s the best part of being Zao Duh?

Strength and speed. Some people think it's the long life, but there are times when that gets to be bothersome. Sanjam's been a nice perk as well. I've come to rely on that little trick quite a bit.

What was your first impression of Brooke?

That she was scared and fragile. But over powering all of that was that she was the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen.

Really? That’s saying something….well anyway, what about now, can you describe her in 3 words?

Brave, smart, and mine. She hasn't figured out that last part yet, but I'm not worried. She'll get there. And as a bonus word: Dušo.

You do have a lot of little names for her.  Why do you call Brooke "Slatki"?

*Chuckles* Ah, now see, I try not to create anger where it does not benefit me. I have a feeling that this might be one of those situations. Angeline has already seen the scene in where I reveal to Brooke, and therefore the readers, the answer to this very question, and I'm confident that if I spoil that for her, she might do terrible things to me in books 2 and 3. I'd rather not take those chances. You get me, yes?

Oh I got you alright.  As long as I get to find out eventually, I’ll be happy. 

Assuming the security is not an issue, how would you spend an evening with Brooke?

Hahaha! Security has never been the issue. No, Brooke has always been what stands in the way of how I'd like to spend my evening with her. *grins*

Yes I see how you are.  *I smile back at him* 

I would also like to take her paragliding. Utah has some of the best spots in the world to paraglide. We'd jump off a mountain and fly for a while before we glided down to the ground.

What’s your impression of Jaren – you can’t use the word punk.

Must we really discuss him? All right, but if he gets upset and wishes to redeem himself, I'm passing on your number to him.

I’d love to talk to Jaren.

My impression of Jaren is that he is a typical teenager. Now, I don't mean to offend when I say this, but it's true. He reacts before he thinks things through. Is he an overall good guy? With some growing up, I think he would be. I think he tries to be. But is he the right guy for Brooke? I don't think he ever could be. 

Oh course, you are the right guy for Brooke. *He just smiles*

Anything else you’d like to share with my readers?

Yes, for more of me and of course Brooke, get the book at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Book Depository. Had to add in the Book Depository to make it a global thing.

I’ll be sure and include links at the end of my post.

 Randomness:

Steak or burger?

Steak., There's just so much more potential within a steak than there is in a burger.

Blond or brunette?

Both are beautiful, but I'm partial to Brooke and she just so happens to be a brunette.

Blue or Brown eyes?

Blue. Now, this answer is not just because Brooke has blue eyes. I have always been fond of blue eyes.

iPod or stereo?

Technology has been one of my favorite things to follow as the time has passed. I'm amazed with what people come up with. The ingenuity of the human mind astonishes me sometimes. My answer would be the iPod because that little unit is a stereo within itself.

Movie Theater or DVD?

Both provide for a different experience. Each has its proper place.

M&Ms or Skittles?

I don't eat much candy, but I have enjoyed those packets of Pop Rocks. You put them in your mouth, and when they mix with your saliva, they become electric. It's quite the sensation.  

Offense or Defense?

Offense, of course. Always be in control.

Football or Soccer?

Soccer. There's something that needs to be said about a sport where you can control and play the whole game without the use of your hands. Now that's skill.

Thanks for putting up with me asking you questions. Please keep Brooke safe, I’ve gotten attached to her.

Yes, I have as well. Trust me when I tell you that I will do everything in my power to keep her safe.

I think you better show me out or I may not make it out of here.

Thank you for your time
