I'm hot on the trail with Snow Blood Season 2. My publisher asked me to hash out the core characters for Season 2, as they are all evolving. I wanted to share my thoughts with those of you who enjoy the creative process.
When I wrote Brogio's character, I envisioned Alexander Skarsgård of True Blood fame. Not Swedish but Italian, Brogio was an adventurer who angered Apollo when he fell in love with Selene, one of the handmaiden's in the God's temple at Delphi. As punishment, Apollo and his sister Artemis, with a little help from Hades, God of the Underworld, turn Brogio into the very first vampire.

Handsome, strong-willed and cunning, he has lived a lonely, heart-broken life for thousands of years. Creating a wealthy empire as a successful winemaker, he longs only for Selene, who has been made goddess of the moonlight. Out of loneliness, he turns Snow, a beautiful dying white huskey into his progeny. The clever vampire dog becomes Brogio's greatest and most loyal friend who tells his master's story.
Artemis, who is Brogio's patron goddess, returns Selene to Brogio in human form in Season 1. The gods are at odds with each other, and Artemis is playing games with her brother Apollo who has declared war on Brogio.

When we first meet Selene in Season 1, she is rather weak-willed and fairly dependent on Brogio and Snow Blood. Her beauty has once again besotted Brogio who spends all of his attention protecting her and his coven from numerous mysterious attacks on their lives. With Snow Blood and his oldest progeny, Kane, they are able to win the day. In Season 2, Selene, now Brogio's wife and a vampire, matches Brogio's strong will. She is independent, fearless and has secret battles of her own to handle.
When I first wrote Kane, I envisioned a young Antonio Banderas with a Zorro-like personality combining a witty dandy with strong sexual motivations. He heckles Brogio, pushing the master to explosive outbursts. He dislikes Snow Blood at first but then puts himself on the line for his vampire dog brother in the end. You can count on him returning to us in Season 2, bringing trouble with him. His bond with Snow Blood and his secret love for Selene is stronger than ever.

After considering the image above as my Kane. I'm finding that the image below may be more to my liking for Season 2. What do you think?
There's something about this image that suits both Seasons 1 and 2. Your thoughts are appreciated. Keep in mind that Kane is secretly in love with Selene. Which character do you think will be more threatening to Brogio?
Snow Blood is our story teller. He is loyal, trustworthy, beautiful and is willing to die for any one of the characters above. He is the embodiment of unconditional love. Because he never puts himself first, readers can't help but love him.
In Season 2, Snow Blood meets the love of his life - a wolf named Nova. Nova is a multi-colored wolf with steel-blue eyes. She is independent, beautiful (Snow Blood calls her a goddess) and very clever. Originally belonging to the leader of the vampire slayers tracking Brogio and his coven, don't be surprised if she switches sides.

There are more characters - Snow Blood's pack and, of course Artemis, Apollo and Hades ... along with the vampire slayers, but you will just have to read Season 2 to learn more about them!
