The New Cover Reveal for Stacey Rourke's The Conduit
Old Cover
Blurb:
All
18-year-old Celeste Garrett wants is to head off to college and make
those fun, yet ill-advised, choices college kids are known for. And
maybe to spend some time with the hot cameraman she just met. Instead,
because of a pact her ancestors made in the 17th century with a mythical
creature, she has to save the world.
While normal kids are
slamming energy drinks and cramming for exams, Celeste will get her
adrenaline rush fighting a fire breathing dragon. She wants to meet
friends in the quad to exchange lecture notes, but first she must
exchange blows with a shapeshifting demon on the rooftop. Life isn’t
always fair for a superhero, but at least she doesn’t have to do it
alone. With her brother and sister as sidekicks, they alternate between
saving lives and getting on each others’ nerves. Together the trio
encounters unspeakable odds, mystical forces and comes face-to-face with
an image that will haunt them forever—their grandmother in a leopard
print bikini.
"Okay, little side note here. If a psychopathic
killer asks if you want to see a trick, say no. That’s the smart thing
to do. I, on the other hand, responded, 'Bring it'."

Character Interview of Celeste Garrett star of The Gryphon
Series interviewed by Stacey Rourke, author of the series
Stacey-Celeste, thanks so much for being with us today!
Celeste-Uh, I only exist in your head. You know that, right?
So it’s kind of a “where you go, I go” situation.
Stacey-(talking behind her hand) I get that, okay. But would
you just please play along?
Celeste-Whatever, Boss Lady. Thanks for having me and
congrats on your public display of schizophrenia.
Stacey-You’re mouthy. You know that?
Celeste-I am what you made me.
(Stacey scowls, Celeste gives her a big grin.)
Stacey-Let’s move on, shall we?
Celeste-Sure, this is fun!
Stacey-So, in book one of The Gryphon Series, The Conduit,
you found out that because of a pact your ancestors made you’re the fabled
Chosen One. How has your life changed since then?
Celeste-Well…I was going to go to college and be an art
teacher. Now I have an army of demons chasing me and trying to kill me on a
pretty much daily bases. So…uh…things have been better. Wait a sec, that was
all YOUR doing! YOU made me the Chosen One! Why you…
Stacey-Next question?
(Celeste huffs.)
Stacey-Are you going to pout for the rest of the interview? I’ve
done nice things for you, too! What about Caleb, we meet him in book 2,
Embrace. He’s all kinds of fun eye candy! I made him just for you!
Celeste-He is pretty amazing. You cooked him up in your
head?
Stacey-Yep! The face and hair of Ian Somerhalder, abs of Joe
Manganiello, body of Alex Pettyfer and Irish accent of Gerard Butler. Nice,
huh?
Celeste-Very! And I thank you for letting me play with your
Frankenstien-esque creation, however I think you may be watching too much TV.
Stacey-Well this isn’t about me, is it?
Celeste-Easy, don’t get huffy. I have a question for you. (leaning in) So in book three do
Caleb and I…(wiggles eyebrows suggestively)
Stacey-Celeste! First of all, if you aren’t mature enough to
say what the act is you’re not ready
to do it! Secondly, your Grams could
be reading this!
Celeste- I know she is. Who do you think told me to do the
eyebrow thing?
Stacey-Oh for crying out loud. Moving on.
Celeste-That wasn’t a yes or no.
Stacey-I guess you’ll just have to wait and see like
everyone else. So, we also met Rowan in book 2, the golden haired bad boy
pirate. Let’s talk a little bit about him.
Celeste-Oh, you mean the hot demon that can control my mind
with a simple touch and makes me lose complete control of my inhibitions? Yeah,
he’s a hoot. Thanks a bunch for that. That’ll make fidelity with Caleb super easy.
Stacey-Oh don’t worry, you won’t have to juggle both of them
for very long.
Celeste-What?! Why? Is someone going somewhere?!
Stacey-Well that’s about all the time we have for today…
Celeste-No it’s not! I live in your head and will not let
you sleep until you answer me!
Stacey-To our readers, please pick up The Conduit and
Embrace by me, Stacey Rourke, and look for Sacrifice coming this fall wherever
fine books are sold.
Celeste-Writers block will look like nothing compared to the
sit in I’m staging until you answer me! Not one creative thought will leak out!
Don’t act like you can’t hear me!
Stacey-Also catch a special Gryphon Series short in the Paranormal Days Gone Awry Anthology
releasing this Halloween by Anchor Group Publishing.
Celeste-Ever gotten your butt kicked by a figment of your
imagination? ‘Cause your it
ching for it, Rourke.
Stacey-Thank you to our guest, Celeste, for her time and
thank you all for joining us. Happy reading!
Celeste-You. Me. Parking lot. Now.
And now what you all have been waiting for.
