I found your blog recently and didn't know you were writing a book?! Whoa, whoa is it fantasy, historical, romance, mystery? Who are the main characters? (Sorry if it has been asked before)

yes!! it's actually the 8th book i've ever written, but it's likely going to be the first that i get actually officially published (i've self-published two other novels in the past that can be bought on amazon!!)

the general information about the novel can be found here, but the main characters are as follows!!

father cesare michael sparrow is the main character of the story. he's a young priest, who has grown up in a highly abusive household and it's shaped who he is as a person and it shows. he's an alcoholic and a drug and sex addict in an attempt to cope with that abuse, especially because he blames himself for what his sister has endured. he also is in love with his sister and hates himself for it because of what they've suffered at the hands of their father. he has a love/hate relationship with his younger brother cole because cole is unaware of the abuse happening in the household and, as a result, cole idolizes their father, who cesare, obviously, hates. he's the oldest child and the twin brother of loa. my fc for him is francois arnaud; particularly in the man who was thursday.

loa grace sparrow is the secondary main character of the story, but nowhere near to the extent cesare is. she's got a heart condition that is slowly killing her. i'm not gonna lie: she's 100% a self-insert and her trauma mirrors mine almost exactly. cesare is in awe of her and sees her as the last good, pure thing in the world, though the reality is, he puts her on a pedestal and she's a lot less innocent than he believes her to be (not to say she's a bad person; she's just...not as pure as cesare thinks). she's just as in love with cesare as cesare is in love with her, but she gets along with cole and it's actually because of her that cole doesn't know waht their father does to them; she wants cole to retain some shred of innocence even if they can't. my fc for her is olivia hussey in romeo and juliet.

cole isaac sparrow isn't really a main character, but he's definitely in the story quite a bit. despite not knowing what's going on in the house between his father and his older siblings, he's affected by it all the same. he drinks and does drugs just as cesare does and he draws very violent images, which paper the inside of his bedroom. he starts off very spoiled, but ends up being a lot more like his older brother, which....isn't exactly a great thing tbh. my fc for him is bill skarsgard in hemlock grove.

landry marceau isn't a main character, but i added him in on a whim almost. he's cesare's best friend and, sometimes, his friend with benefits. he's jewish and studying to become a scientist at the nearby university, but he also dances at the male strip club in town, the blue tulip, to make more money to get himself through school. i want to add more of him into the story because he's just so much fun, but i haven't thought of any way to yet. my fc for him is louis garrel in the dreamers.

father douglas sparrow is the father of the sparrow children and the religious leader as well as the unofficial leader of the town of sparrow. he's the wealthiest man in town and everyone follows him either consciously or not. he's brutal, but appears kind on the outside and everyone likes his public persona. he forced cesare into being a priest and named him cesare with the hope he would be a conquerer just like his namesake. he seems to see his daughter as a replacement for the wife that went missing over twenty years ago and he doesn't really pay much attention to cole at all. my fc for him is jeffrey dean morgan in the unholy, but really just in his old man era (lol) in general.

minnie sparrow is the mother of the sparrow children and the wife of douglas that went missing twenty years ago when the twins were twelve. she is the exact opposite of her husband: loving, caring, kind, and generous. no one knows what happened to her; only that she went missing. her remains were never recovered. my fc for her is holly hunter in batman v superman.

these characters are cAKED in metaphor, in case you can't tell by their names alone and i am adding all of that metaphor into the story itself because i love imagery and symbolism.
