A
Little Like You and Me
When
I first started thinking about writing the WINGED series, I didn’t give a lot
of thought to making the archangels different. To me, they were characters in
the books, each with their own unique motivation for acting and thinking the
way they do. Some part of me realized that this would fly in the face of what
most people think about angels—especially considering the fact I was dealing
with recognized, named archangels and not simply angels I’d made up. But in the
end, I didn’t care.
Because
I like to believe that all angels—those unnamed and those named—are at least a
little like you and me.
I’ve
mentioned before (or at least I think I have—the details are haze now and then
on what I’ve said—that’s what happens when you talk a lot) that I find it hard
to believe God (or whichever religious figure you believe in) just randomly
threw a bunch of traits and emotions together in humans and hoped for the best.
I mean, I know the Bible at least refers to humans as God’s greatest creation.
If that’s true, then I really hope He did a few test runs first.
And
why wouldn’t one of those be with the angels and archangels?
So
giving Raphael, the patron saint of medical workers and medicine, a soft heart
and a distaste for war makes sense to me. Michael, the renowned warrior angel,
would of course be harsher, more inclined to be short of temper and a little
sarcastic. There would be angels of all nationalities, all sexual orientations,
all temperments.
So
yes, my archangels are a little different than what most people are used to.
They’re more raw, more rough around the edges, more prone to lust and anger and
hurt and jealousy.
In
short, they’re a little like you and me.
Winged
By LM Pruitt
I fell from the Talmadge Bridge the week before I turned thirty.
I was given a choice: Go to Heaven. Go back to my life in Savannah. Or spend eternity fighting evil under the direction of the archangels.
I chose the demons--and the angels.
I chose the Winged.

And now there's the Resistance.
Joanne must choose again, this time between her fellow Winged and their burning desire for change or the archangels and the eternal vow she made.
Even in the afterlife, one truth remains--everything ends
