BLOG TOUR:
**************************************************
I had the pleasure of interviewing Jophiel aka Joe from the third book in Patricia Josephine's Path of Angels series. The three of us hope you enjoy it!
Hi,
Joe! What is Jophiel, Path of Angels about?
Joe: I
am SO glad you asked. *opens mouth, but freezes when Gabriel folds his arms and
glares. Snaps mouth shut.*
Here’s
the blurb:
They must fight to stay on the path.
Joe embraces his duty without fear or hesitation, always
ready for the next battle. But the path has never been easy. With Michael’s
return, they uncover a truth more dangerous than they ever imagined. Their
enemy plans to unleash the devil himself, Lucifer. Help comes in the form of an
unlikely alley: a member of the fallen.
Mariangela is trying to make amends by protecting the
child she is carrying. After blindly following Lucifer in the rebellion, her
misguided allegiance came with a price: banishment from heaven. Now, as she
strives for forgiveness in the human world, she must fight to prevent Uriel, a
fallen archangel, from using her child to free evil from Hell.
The path becomes a battleground, one which may already be
lost.
Title: Jophiel
Author: Patricia Josephine
Series: Path of Angels (#3)
Length: 56 pages
Books Links:
1. What is your job?
Joe: *Plants hands on hips* I fight evil that lurks in
the dark! Or, ya know, *shrugs* Fallen angels.
2. That must be thrilling and dangerous. What
do you do for fun?
Joe: Annoy Gabriel. Honestly, we don’t have much down
time, so hobbies have fallen by the wayside.
3. What is your biggest pet peeve?
Joe: Hmm, good question. I’m
a pretty easy going guy. Not a lot gets to me. Now, Gabe on the other hand…
*evil grin*
4. Gabriel sounds like he needs a few shots of
something strong. *winks* How did you meet Mariangela?
Joe: Some punks were messing
with her. Who picks on a pregnant lady? Really, I should have kicked their
asses.
5. You should have! What was your first
impression of her? (Other than her being pregnant.)
Joe: That she is an angel. I
mean, she really is, but at the time I didn’t know, so… *shrugs*
6. What kind of trouble do the two of you get
into?
Joe: I take offense to that
question. Mary and I are angels. A.N.G.L.E.S. Do you not see my halo? *circles
finger over head*
7. Haha! I guess we’ll skip that one. What
moment of Jophiel, Path of Angels was
your favorite?
Joe: That’s kind of tough to
answer because I don’t want to give away any spoilers. Hmmm. There is a great
bonding moment between me and another character. *wipes eye* It’s just
heartwarming.
8. Is there anything you did in Jophiel, Path of Angels that you would
change if you could?
Joe: Given my ability is
being able to see events from the past, I’ve learned to not worry about what’s
happened. You can’t change it, so why worry?

About the Author:
Patricia Josephine never set out to become a
writer. In fact, she never considered it an option during high school and
college. She was all about art. On a whim, she wrote down a story bouncing in
her head. That was the start of it and she hasn't regretted a moment. She
writes young adult under the name Patricia Lynne.
Patricia lives with her husband in Michigan, hopes one day to
have what will resemble a small petting zoo, has a fondness for dying her hair
the colors of the rainbow, and an obsession with Doctor Who.

Thank you Joe and Patricia! I’d love to have you,
Patricia, back anytime with any of your other characters from Path of Angels.
Please leave a comment for them! :)
He might be a little less of an angel than he thinks!
ReplyDeleteHmm...maybe. ;)
DeleteHe is something else for sure, Alex.
Delete"did you not see my halo" hahah love it :)
ReplyDeleteJoe is a real character.
DeleteIf he wasn't an archangel, I'd say there were horns holding up that halo.
DeleteCute interview with Joe, makes you wonder if he really is a good angel :)
ReplyDeletebetty
He is a good angel, but he has his moments. :P
DeleteHe would tell you that he is the best angel. Perfect and full of goodness. Then Gabe would punch him for being full of it. ;)
DeleteSuch a fun interview. Loved it. Congrats, Patricia!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, MJ!
DeleteThanks, MJ!
DeleteHaha, Joe is an awesome character. Congrats to Patricia!
ReplyDeleteHe is pretty awesome.
DeleteThanks Sarah. He was my favorite to write after Zephyr.
Deletelol even angel can have a little fun and maybe sin
ReplyDeleteAnd boy do these angels sin. ;)
DeleteJoe does that well.
DeleteI have to check out Patricia's book. I love angel books.
ReplyDeleteThese are really good short stories. I was hooked from the first one.
DeleteThanks Susan. =D
DeleteMost enjpyable Chrys, thanks for the write.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Thanks for reading. :)
DeleteThanks for stopping by.
DeleteWhat a fun interview!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you think so, Anne! :)
DeleteThanks, Anne. Joe had fun too. Maybe a little too much.
DeleteNot sure if I'd want to meet him in a dark alley. Well, maybe if someone was after me...
ReplyDeleteHe's the best when an innocent woman needs saving.
DeleteAww, come on, Liz. Joe said he'd be your angel in shining armor whenever you need him.
DeleteGreat interview, Chrys! And Grats, Patricia! I've been seeing you everywhere today.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting, Loni!
DeleteI was all over the place having fun. =D
DeleteCongratulations on your release, Patricia! It's nice to see an angel character who isn't some stereotype. Real angels are a lot more complex than just cherubs sitting on clouds or forces of destruction.
ReplyDeleteAngels are fun characters to write about because they are so complex.
DeleteYeah, I like to take things and turn them on their heads. Try to do something different and fun.
DeleteI'm seeing this book everywhere today! Fabulous interview! Congratulations to Patricia on her release!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Patricia is everywhere. YAY!!
DeleteThanks, Kimberly!
DeleteCongratulations, Patricia! I love the story concept :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Liz!
DeleteThanks, Liz. It was a fun story to write.
DeleteI like the sound of this book! Angels/demons always have a soft spot for me just because I like the diversity they can be written as.
ReplyDeleteAngels are my favorite supernatural beings to write and read about. I am never disappointed.
DeleteExactly. I already have another story idea that twists demons in a new way.
DeleteCongratulations on your books, Patricia. I love stories about angels.
ReplyDeleteGreat interview, ladies.
Thanks for visiting, Beverly!
DeleteThank you, Beverly.
DeleteAbsolutely hilarious interview! Jophiel makes me laugh. :) Congrats to Patricia! Can't wait to read the new book.
ReplyDeleteJophiel is a real character, but he can be serious too. He just doesn't know it. :)
DeleteThat's his goal, Christine. And annoying Gabe. It's like his hobbies. LOL
DeleteFun interview and this looks like an intense book. Lucifer in stories makes me shudder, but I'll read and watch those stories anyway.
ReplyDeleteWell, *spoiler* Lucifer hasn't made an appearance...yet. ;)
DeleteThanks, Medeia. Yeah, you don't want to mess with Lucifer, but there's another baddie that the boys have to watch out for. Lucifer is trapped right now, so he can't do much to my boys.
DeleteI did not see the halo either. LOL
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
It's a little hard to see at time. :P
DeleteJoe insists it is there. I doubtful too.
DeleteWow, that cover grabbed my attention. Angel stories are always entertaining in a good way. Chuckled at the interview too. Great fun, Patricia and Chrys.
ReplyDeleteDenise :-)
Angel stories are so much fun. And intense too. I love them!
DeleteThanks Denise. I love the covers to the series too. They are gorgeous.
DeleteSo sassy! This sounds like the kind of angel that would come visit me in the middle of the night. Bad ass. Fun interview and interesting series, Patricia!
ReplyDeleteHaha! He is a bad ass. ;)
DeleteYes, Joe likes to be a joker, but he has a whole range from sensitive to bad ass.
DeleteI'm starting to feel a little as if I'm stalking Patricia, because she's everywhere I visit! :p
ReplyDeleteHmm...maybe you are. ;P
DeleteHa! You aren't the only person I've seen commenting on other blogs I've visited. Maybe I'm the one stalking you and this is my genius way of doing it. Cast suspicion on you. MUAHAHAHAHA
DeleteThis is the second time I'm stumbling upon this book today. Congratulations to the author.
ReplyDeleteThen it was be destined for you to check it out. ;)
DeleteIt's a sign, Joe says. He also says you can trust him on that. ;)
DeleteI thought I'd already commented on this, but it must have been another blog! I don't trust my memory anymore. Congratulations to Patricia!
ReplyDeletePatricia had been everywhere the past couple of days, so it was probably another blog. :)
DeleteIt might have been, but I'm the same. It's like, "Did I reply to comments here? Let's see..."
DeleteCongrats to Patricia. Joe sounds like a fun angel to be around and I love that he likes to kick ass
ReplyDeleteI think the best part is that he likes to kick ass. ;)
DeleteHe's good to have at parties.
DeleteCongrats, Patricia. This sounds like a fun read.
ReplyDeleteHey, Chrys.
Hey, Sandra!
DeleteThank you, Sandra.
DeleteThis sounds interesting. Patricia should meet another Michigan author who writes about angels,both fallen and slackers, Rob Krouse. Here is a review of his first book: http://sagecoveredhills.blogspot.com/2009/10/mercury-falls-book-review.html
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link, Sage!
DeleteMICHIGAN AUTHORS FTW!
DeleteI never planned to be a writer either. Actually I was 40 before I decided what I want to do when I grow up.
ReplyDeleteI think that's awesome, though. :D
DeleteSometimes I wonder if I've grown up yet. LOL That's cool though. Never too old to write a book.
