FreakShow Character Introduction: Theon

Every Monday from now until December 3rd, I'm introducing a character from my debut novel, Jack Jetstark's Intergalactic FreakShow! Today's character is...

 

Theon!

 

Theon is one half of Jack's communications specialist. He's black, confident bordering on arrogant, and not afraid to tell you what you're doing wrong. And Jack has a wee little crush on him.

 

Theon is a freak, a descendant of people who were genetically engineered to have superhuman abilities when they hear a certain song. Along with Parthen and Theon, he performs as psychic, conjoined triplets (more about that in the next weeks). He can also read minds.

 

Most of my characters were inspired by lyrics from American Pie. Theon is the "father" in "the father, son, and the holy ghost." His name actually comes from the Latin word for "god."

 

I imagine Theon as looking like Michael Ealy. (I have trouble distinguishing faces but "casting" the movie version of your book is apparently a Thing, so I maaay have asked some people "what is the name of a very pretty black man?")

 

Preorder here and add it on Goodreads!

 

Come back next Monday to meet Parthen!

  1. I love these character posts! Especially since I've read my arc already. They give me so much more insight on the characters as individuals. 💖
