Interview with Storm Sullivan *CONTAINS SPOILERS*

Storm Sullivan has agreed to be interviewed just this once if I promise not to give away any of her secrets from End of the Night.  So, without further ado...

Me: Storm, things happened pretty quickly for you after your aunt's death.

Storm: Yea, I guess life is funny that way.  I can't complain, my life is complicated but I have found some amazingly loyal friends.  So what if they keep me on my toes and we seem to continually fall into massive trouble?  Life is more interesting this way and I appreciate not having to run anymore.

Me:  You traveled a lot prior to this, correct?  What was your favorite place to live?
Storm: That's a loaded question.  I saw a lot of amazing things when I was on the run but none of them ever felt like home.  I never found that place where I knew I belonged.  I guess that's because I was always alone and looking over my shoulder.  I hope to revisit travel again when things settle down. 

Me: Fair enough.  Let's talk about your full house.  You seem to have a lot of guests moving in and out.  How do you feel about the influx of guests and how many bedrooms do you have?

Storm: I like being surrounded by people, especially these people who allow me to be myself.  As for the house, there are six bedrooms upstairs, plus my studio.  Downstairs there is a guest suite as well.  I suppose I could convert my studio back to a room if need be but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. 

Me: Speaking of your studio, what are you painting these days?

Storm: I haven't been painting as much as I'd like but lately I have been focused on portraits, my mother, Aunt Trin, all of my houseguests.  Sophia's is quite lovely but Lucian has hidden it.  Apparently he finds it too provocative to have around other men, namely the Scots I would guess.  I have been practicing Damarra's eyes, but they are difficult to capture.  I think she will be tickled with it but I am a bit wary of having her in my studio.  You know how she is in the kitchen, can you imagine her in my studio?  *Storm chuckles*

Me: Yes, I see your point.  How is the nursery coming along?

Storm: Ah, the nursery.   Well, thanks to the Scots, the furniture is all put together.  Angeline continues to change the color scheme, it has become her obsession.  Honestly, that woman is an amazing decorator but I wish she would just let it go.  I have liked everything she's done but she is trying to make Ryder fall in love with it.  I doubt that will happen since he is worried about everything except for the nursery these days. 

Me: I see.  How is that working for you?  I mean, you seem pretty relaxed by comparison.

Storm: I suppose I am.  Lately, I have been working with Aunt Trin and Sophia on a lot of relaxation and meditation.  It has helped me focus my energies and control my powers.  If nothing else, this has taught me to appreciate what I have and work harder to protect it.  I am not some weakling and I refuse to roll over and take it.  I am just not made that way.  I got away from that for a long while but I have no intention of walking that road again - ever.  I love my life and I am going to fight to keep it and I am learning more and more every step of the way - wait, I am not giving away anything from End of the Night.  Tricksy, Ms. Patterson, very tricksy.   

Me: I had no intention of exposing any of End of the Night.  Just one more quick question and then I will let you get back to it. 

Storm: Alright?

Me: Thought of names for the babies yet?

Storm: Ah, now see, that would be a secret from End of the Night.  I will tell you they will be fresh names, not used elsewhere in the series. 

Me: Very well.  Thank you, Storm, I appreciate your time.

Storm: It was fun, thanks for agreeing to the phone interview.
