Character Confession: Tegan from Beg Me to Slay by Lisa Kessler + giveaway

Hey there. My name is Tegan. It’s like Megan with a T.

So I’m here with a little confession. My first name was the key to Beg Me to Slay. Seriously.

My author, Lisa Kessler, is a total write-by-the-seat-of-her-pants writer and when she gets a story idea and needs characters, she starts stalking baby name sites. When she stumbled across the name, Tegan, she loved it instantly.

Tegan actually means “beautiful” and it’s a Welsh name. As soon as she discovered that, my father’s name was next, Maddock is a good strong Welsh name and Lisa loved it. His character came alive.

But that’s hardly the “key” to Beg Me to Slay. Once she had my Welsh heritage, and the opening scene written, Gabe came into the picture. Demon Slayer. But what kind of demons?

This is where my name really paid off. Lisa figured since I was Welsh, there must be some Welsh demons… More research and BANG. She discovered Welsh Dragons and the book took off.

So while readers may be super excited about a new paranormal mythology, I’m here to confess that Lisa never set out with the intention to write a Welsh mythological dragon paranormal romance. Nope.

She just liked my name.

Shhhh this is just between us, right?

He’ll slay her demons, but it may cost her heart…

Four years ago Tegan Ashton was attacked. Determined never to be a victim again, she devotes her life to martial arts and self-defense. When her assailant returns to finish what he started, only one person can help her.

Gabe is a private investigator by day and demon slayer by night. After losing loved ones, he vows to defend people from a threat they don’t realize exists.
