Hi Cam-ael. Did I pronounce that correctly?
Cam-I-El is correct.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Tell me a bit about yourself.
I was an angel of the Order of the Powers. Sounds like an opening remark from an AA meeting, doesn’t it?
I was wounded in the Second War in Heaven, more about that later, and plummeted from the sky into Essie McBane’s life. I’m sure Essie didn’t expect to have an angel thump down in her chicken yard.
I’m open for questions, if they’re not too personal. (He gives the interviewer a devastatingly beautiful smile to match his lyrical voice).
Linda: Second War in Heaven?
Cam-ael: The First was when Lucifer was cast down into Hell. He caused the Second one as well but I’m not at liberty to say why. Suffice to say that many of the loyal angels were incensed to learn that our Creator still mourned his once favorite son.
The Second War raged until the airy corridors ran red with blood, then the conflict spilled from Heaven to Earth, and mortal forces joined the battle as the fallen angels met the loyal angels in one final, epic battle at Armageddon.
I was a warrior, but I was wounded. Essie gave me sanctuary to heal, and I was intrigued by her and by mortal life. I found the idea of the love between a man and woman and sex fascinating. I wanted to stay with her and experience life, but she was determined not to be the reason I fell from Grace.
Linda: How did you meet your heroine?
Cam laughs. I fell into her arms, almost literally, though I did crash a few yards from her feet in her chicken yard.
Linda: What was your first thought when you saw her?
Cam-ael: I was dazed, not really thinking, but when I sobered and looked into her eyes, I saw the reason I’d been created.
Linda: What is your favorite thing about her? Her openness and her sensuality. I couldn’t resist, but she did—vehemently.
Linda: What is your greatest fear?
Cam-ael: That somehow I’ll be returned to the war and robbed of Essie’s love and companionship.
Linda: What is your greatest strength?
Cam-ael: Though fallen, I am an angel. Weakness? Earthly temptations. I love lobster and fine wines. I adore Essie
Linda: What is your favorite color?
Cam-ael: Hum. The blue that I remember of Heaven.
Linda: Boxers or Briefs?
Cam-ael: Neither.
Linda: Chocolate or Vanilla?
Cam-ael: Both! I love ice cream.
Linda: Hard or soft?
Cam-ael: In what context? Women soft and willing. Bed firm. Pillow soft and my own equipment—hard.
Linda: Fast or slow?
Cam-ael: Again, both. Slow and deep teases. Fast and hard can bring a couple to the brink before slow and deep again teases. I try to please Essie. An angel possesses special attributes that can give his lover undreamed of experiences.I
Linda: If you could spend a whole day with Essie, where would you go and what would you do? Details please! *wink*
Cam-ael: I did spend an entire day—or two—with Essie. She’s remarkable. Beautiful and idealistic. I digress. I flew her to a waterfall, guided her behind the foaming cascade and…well, we got to know each other much better.
Linda: If I gave you a box with three items: Bungee cord, Nutella, and a Lolly Pop, what would you do?
Cam-ael: Look at you in amazement.
Linda: Describe yourself.
Cam-ael laughs (which might be what the harps in paradise sound like): Physically, I’m 6 feet tall with auburn hair, blue eyes and a white wingspan. As a person, I’m loyal, caring and affectionate. As a warrior, I was fierce and ruthless. The Powers are the first line of defense…..
Linda: Do you think you will stay on Earth?
Cam-ael: If Essie will have me—and of course if I’m not summoned back to the war.
Linda: Can angels die?
Cam-ael: Not in the human sense of dying. We can be destroyed or cease to exist. Swords of black iron will kill an angel.
Linda: Any questions for an angel?
For those who comment, Bianca is hosting a random drawing for a download of Hot Spanish Nights, her hawt novella about a master horseman, his intriguing pupil, lust under the brilliant Spanish sun and featuring the magnificent Andalusian horse.
Review From Words that Sparkle:
The love story between Cam and Essie is very heartfelt. The way Bianca Swan spins a tale of two star-crossed lovers willing to kill (and in Cam’s case, give up Heaven) for each other is beautiful. The idea that both angels and demons are among us at all times is a very interesting spin on the entire idea of Revelations. There are some very interesting action scenes thrown in as well, between the forces of good and evil, making this story about more than just sex with a Heavenly being (hot as he might be!). If you are like me and willing to disregard damnation for a bit of hedonistic pleasure, then Celestial Sin is exactly what you’ve been looking for!
Blurb:
Essie McBane set her standards high. She had hoped that one day she’d find her dream man, but didn’t expect him to be a warrior angel with chestnut curls and a heavenly body. Cam-ael, an angel of the Order of the Powers, had never considered mortal sin until he was wounded in the Second War in Heaven and plummeted into Essie’s arms. The most difficult task of his long existence will be to convince her that he is willing to fall from grace to win her love.
