Winged

I’m seeing angels…


I’m a sucker for angels.

Well, mostly the wings. There’s just something about wings. What is it? Maybe the freedom they give, or I would imagine they give.

I’ve penned a few novels featuring winged characters, and I loved writing them. One of my faves is Trinity from WINGED. That book isn’t contracted for publication or anything, but I sure had fun writing her.

Winged just went through a beta read so I’ve got some rewriting to do to strengthen the story, but I’m stoked to get back into her story! And even if Trinity never sees the light of publication, that’s okay…I’m glad I wrote her story (and her sequel–CLIPPED.)

One of my other faves with wings is from Gena Showalter’s Lords of the Underworld Series. She has this character Aeron, and the book’s called The Darkest Passion. Gena’s a great writer, and I love how she captured Aeron. Such passion and beauty and wrath all rolled up into an amazing story.

For movies. . . .even though Legion so was NOT a good movie in my opinion, I loved how they showed the wings. It was what convinced me to watch the movie to tell you the truth.

Sucker, I know.

Do you have any favorite winged characters? Either from books or movies?

    I’ve read Lauren Kate’s Fallen series and I really enjoy that, it’s worth a read. I also have Angelogy to read, an adult angel series. I also like the angels in Supernatural as they’re nothing like angels in any other story!

    I wonder if the love of wings is just some intrinsic part of us that still dreams to fly. I still love to sit in my garden and marvel at the birds flying about, all with their own slightly different methods.

    Ok – don’t make fun of me, BUT I love the wings on the characters in the Barbie Fairytopia movies! I think they are beautiful!

    The other winged character of mine of Fawks from the Harry Potter series. The description of the plumage and wings were wonderful, I wanted to see the blazing colors.
