Description:

Bryn McCaskey is young, naïve, and can talk to ghosts...

Like her mother and grandmother, Bryn comes from a breed of witches called The Keepers of the Lost Souls. Their main purpose is to guard those spirits who are permanently or temporarily grounded in the world of the living. Handling supernatural creatures is something which comes naturally to Bryn, however, dealing with people is a whole different story.

As her 18th birthday approaches it's time for her to take on her first assignment. Bryn is forced to confront her inability to communicate with others in an effort to save the one soul that can mean the difference between life and death for mankind.

Johnny Shaw is a lost soul with a personal vendetta against witches...

A vendetta he has carried on even after death. As much as he hate's them he must join forces with a keeper witch, in order to stop a century old threat. When fate brings them together, not only will they be forced to learn how to work as a team, but they will have to depend on each other to stop an evil witch carrying a six hundred year grudge!

Interview with Johnny Shaw from Keeper of the Lost Souls by Kristy Centeno

I’d like to introduce my guest for today. His name is Johnny Shaw, and he’s the controversial witch hater in Keeper of the Lost Souls. He was kind enough to take some time off to sit and chat with us for a little bit.

K: Welcome, Johnny. How are you?
J: I’m okay, I guess. Could be better though.

K: Oh? Is something wrong?
J: Just the usual. Demons, power hungry sorcerers, and that kind of stuff. They’re a hassle.

K: It must be a dangerous job.
J: It’s more annoying than anything else and very inconvenient at times.

K: Inconvenient?”
J: Well, I do have a girlfriend now.

K: That’s right. Bryn and you are dating now.
J: Yep. But taking time to destroy evil takes away from our relationship.

K: Isn’t that how you two met in the first place?
J: It is, but she’s the Keeper here not me.

K: Have you two joined forces now?
J: I figured it was best for us to since I’m always worried about her getting hurt.

K: That’s nice. Fighting evil side to side is bound to bring you closer, don’t you think?”
J: Fighting off evil while trying to stay alive isn’t exactly flattering. Besides, I think a setting where we can sit and talk without having to worry over whom or what is watching is would be much better.

K: I might have to agree with you on that one. Love is complicated.
J: Tell me about it. We have the biggest complications of all, but no one said it would be easy.

K: What’s next for you?”
J: Man, I have no clue. I have so much to do and don’t even know where to start. With college, taking care of my parents’ properties and everything else my schedule is kind of hectic right now. Which reminds me, I should be getting back soon.

K: Well, I’ll take that pulsing vein on your forehead as a sign to shift the direction of this interview to something less stressful for you. Since you have to get back to your hectic lifestyle, why don’t we wrap this up with a few more questions about your preferences?
J: Sure.

K: What’s your favorite color?
J: Red.

K: TV show?”
J: I’ll pass on this one.

K: Favorite movie?
J: That sounds like a trick question.

K: Favorite time of day?
J: I’m a morning person.

K: Favorite song?
J: This is a hard one. I have at least one favorite song for every band I like. And I don’t have time to name them all. Sorry.

K: Duty’s calling?
J: Not really. Bryn is.

K: Well, Johnny, thanks for taking a few minutes to answer some questions for us. I’m sure that for those who are wondering why you’re in a hurry, all queries will be answered in Keeper of the Lost Souls.

As a child, I used to lose myself in an imaginary world by the means of a good book. Now that I’m all grown up, I get to create my own fictional realms and make them come to life in ways that most readers might not expect. I’ve always had a passion for writing but never had the opportunity do so until now. After trying out numerous options I realized that writing was what I loved the most so when I found myself with some free time on my hands, I decided to give it a shot. As it turned out, my very active imagination helped me achieve my goals of creating believable plots with some ordinary, and some not so ordinary characters that helped the stories move along in one way or another. As I keep moving along in achieving my dreams of becoming a published author, I divide my time in between my four children and my very understanding husband.
