BTB-PJ Schnyder Fighting Kat Page Turner Tour & Giveaway!!

Hello!! Thanks for stopping by my stop on PJ Schnyder's Fighting Kat Page Turner Tour and Giveaway.

PJ is here today interviewing Lt. Christopher Rygard from her book, Fighting Kat.

Character Interview with Lt. Christopher Rygard

PJ: Where do you see you and Kat in five years?

Lt. Rygard: Five years is a long time and neither of us is exactly the sedentary, desk work type. There’s no telling what will happen on any given mission.

What I do know is that I’ll enjoy her company and do everything I can to put a smile on her face until I can’t anymore.

PJ: What is your favorite piece of Kat's amazing lingerie collection?

Lt. Rygard: Aw now, don’t make me choose. There’s the black lacy ones, or the red satin...and there’s these satin orange ones with sparkly stones that make her skin look …

Honestly, I try not to pick favorites because there’s the occasional accident when I purposely rip them off her.

PJ: What do you think of Dev and Kat's relationship?

Lt. Rygard: I had to see them together to get it. Most wouldn’t understand unless they knew the history. But Dev is a good man, a solid leader, and someone I’d follow into a dangerous mission. If anyone is going to be looking out for my girl while I’m deployed, I’d put my trust in him.

PJ: What would a dream date with Kat be?

Lt. Rygard: I’d like to take her to one of those resort planets with spas and hot springs, spoil her and give her the pampering she’s never had. She doesn’t seem to indulge in that many girly pleasures, my Kaitlyn.

Course, we’d probably do a lot of working out together too, everywhere and anywhere I can coax her into… ;)

PJ: Give us one of your guilty pleasures…

Lt. Rygard: Other than scotch? I’m going to pay for this once Kaitlyn reads it, but...scotch poured all over Kaitlyn’s skin is a definite pleasure.

Book two of The Triton Experiment

Blurb:

Intergalactic mercenary Kat Darah has been ordered to keep her shape-shifting ability a secret from everyone but those closest to her, for her own safety. She’s learned how to control the feral rage…for the most part. But when Lieutenant Rygard’s military unit goes missing, she’ll use every skill she has to find her man.

Lt. Christopher Rygard has witnessed his girl shift, and he still wants her. After Kat rescues him from alien clutches, he’d like nothing more than to wrap her in his arms again, but his first duty is to his men. And half of them have been shipped off-planet to be sold as slaves.

Kat and Rygard will need to form a new team to go deep undercover, posing as gladiators and learning to fight together in order to survive. In the arena, it’s all about who is the strongest predator…

Excerpt:
Chapter One
“Unless you are burnt, broken or bleeding, take yourself out of my medical bay.” Kaitlyn didn’t bother to turn as the footsteps paused in her doorway.

“No follow up threat?” Dev’s voice surprised her. The footsteps hadn’t matched her captain’s usual swagger and the air circulation carried scent up and away too quickly for it to reach her. Considering the multitude of aromas her enhanced sense of smell forced upon her when someone appeared in her doorway, usually shot and bleeding or in some stage of infection, the powerful circulation could be a blessing.

Even if it did allow her captain to surprise her. She didn’t turn away from the observation window. “The only people on board are crew. They all know I won’t hesitate to tear a man apart, even if I do have to put him back together again.”

They’d seen her do it. Course, it hadn’t been a crew member and that particular fugitive had tried to kill her. The bounty on the man required him alive so she’d still had to stitch him up afterward.

“Convenient, you being ship’s medic and all.” Dev stepped into her space anyway. “Course, this is my ship and I am captain, so I could make the point that it’s my medical bay and you are one of my crew.”

“You could.” But it’d be for a reason. Her captain didn’t play territory games without one. With her, territory meant a lot more than the average humanoid. Still, she had human logic, she could use it. “In response to your hypothetical point, I’d say you gave me this position when I became part of your crew and thus ceded this territory. Still my facility and personal space. Besides, you put in this window specifically for me.”

“We had a particularly good haul from before I got that installed, made a fair chunk of cred from almost dying. Made sense to invest it in the ship.”

She raised an eyebrow and watched his reflection in the window.

“Modification to the hull of a spaceship never comes cheap and a window isn’t an upgrade to the ship’s structural integrity unless you invested in extremely high quality materials.”

“Which I did.”

“It’s got a perch perfect for sitting and staring out into whatever.” She turned from the window and let her legs dangle over the edge as she faced him. “Too high for any normal human to get up here and enjoy.”

And she needed this space, needed this window. The view into infinity eased the pent up frustration of the beast within. Lately, she needed peace however she could find it. The panther aspect of her lurked restless and irritable beneath her skin. Ready to break loose.

Planting her hands on the ledge, she hopped off for a drop of several meters, landing on her feet with ease. The distance was farther than a human would willingly jump too. She hadn’t had to worry about that for almost four years now.

Straightening, she looked her captain up and down before locking her gaze with his. The predator aspect rose in a wave as the force of her personality crashed into his. Confidence, charisma, command presence, people defined it in their own way. It wasn’t something limited by words or descriptions. It was something a person experienced, a gut reaction, in any interaction with anyone else.

Her captain had won her respect and her trust years ago, but she still tended to…no, enjoyed butting heads with him on occasion.
