She's my favourite too. She might be my favourite from all my books. Someday I'd love to write a spin-off novel starring Romy.

Romy is a klutz. A ditz. She's the dumb blonde from hell -- literally, since she's a demon girl. Instead of torturing sinners with whips, she plays marbles with them. She decorates her pitchfork with ribbons and paints her claws pink. She's 207, but acts like a toddler. She's more annoying than Steve Urkel and probably more destructive.

Currently I'm working on Song of Dragons, an epic fantasy trilogy. But Romy will definitely return some day. I've always thought she could star in a series of short stories set in the modern world. In each story, she'd get into some misadventure. In Private Romy, she'll join the marines (and bring her teddy bear along). In Detective Romy, she'll join the police and (clumsily) fight crime. In High School Romy, she goes back to complete her education. You get the idea.

Sounds good to me I'd buy a book of short stories about her. Or you could add them as bonus material in some of your other ebooks which would force me to buy them just to get the shorts LOL But then again I'm going to buy the other books anyways.

There will have to be an episode entitled Cubicle Romy, where she works in an office (and brings down the company).

I read this a few days ago, and thoroughly enjoyed it! Now my kids are listening to it (via text to speech) on my Kindle. Any chance of their being a true audio version?

Thanks, Nyssa! I'd love for Eye of the Wizard to be an audio book someday.

Did you have a favorite character?

Not really. I ended the book, really proud of Scruff, a bit irritated with Jamie, accepting of Neev ( proud of him too), happy for Cobweb, and both tickled and annoyed by Romy.

I do have a favorite scene though:

Warning Spoilers:
Spoiler:

Jamie raised her blade, and it glinted in the sunlight. "I saw the roc, but I also saw your arrows fly in battle, Cobweb." Jamie's eyes were moist. "And I saw your mace, Scruff, and your spells, Neev, and your pitchfork, Romy." A tear flowed down her cheek. "But most of all, I saw your hearts, I saw your courage. You are my family, you are my friends. I love all of you. I know that together we can do anything, we can defeat any enemy together." Her tears streamed down her cheeks and her voice trembled. "We can do this. We will do it together."
Romy was crying, lip trembling, tears in her eyes. Cobweb sobbed, and Scruff blew his nose into a handkerchief. Even Neev's eyes were moist.
"We're going to do it," Romy said, sniffing and inspired. "And I don't care if that roc was big enough to carry an elephant."
Jamie dropped her sword, eyes widening. She gaped at Romy. "That was an elephant?" Jamie grabbed her head. "Oh crap. I thought that was a rabbit or something."
For a moment the Bullies just stared in silence, and Romy wasn't sure if Jamie was joking. But Jamie stared back, bewildered. God, she's serious.
Neev grabbed his sister's shoulders and shook her, shouting. "How the hell do you confuse an elephant with a rabbit!"
Jamie shook herself free, face red. "I don't know, I just did! I'd never seen an elephant before! To hell with this, I'm not fighting that roc now."

Everybody groaned.


I would love to see illustrations of all of them.

The kid in me wants to hear more Bullies for Bucks adventures, but also wants to leave well enough alone, as this was a great stand alone story!

The Bullies will return! I'm writing the sequel, Wand of the Witch.

That's one of my favorite scenes too.
