#L&SR Wednesday Weekly Blog Challenge A Villain That I Wish could be Redeemed & Why
Welcome to #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 5-13-20, A Villain that I WIsh Could be Redeemed & Why. Please have a seat, grab an iced tea or lemonade out of the cooler. Be sure and grab a chocolate chip cookie. Lets get started with A Villain that I WIsh Could be Redeemed & Why.
Wow, I’ve got nothing. Like most people I love to hate the bad guy. So I’m going way back in my memory banks to the Duddly Do Right cartoons I used to watch a villain Snidely Whiplash. I’m dating myself, but I’d always wished he’d not tie Nell to the railroad tracks. LOL
Let’s talk about SYNN, a character that has floated through several of my A Demon’s Witch Series, until she got her own story the fifth book in that series A MAGIC REDEMPTION IN 2018. Yep it was her redemption.
Synn, a demon, carries extraordinary magic and power, but there is more within her than she dreams. Kidnapped as a child, her captors murdered her family and forced her into training as a warrior assassin. When an assignment goes horribly wrong, she finds herself at the mercy of the friends and family of her intended target. Offering valuable information in exchange for protection, she gains her freedom, but it is not without its challenges.
Wait, I’ve got one more. Nebula of the Guardians of the Galaxy fame. She became one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most popular anti-heroes, but when we met her in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy, she was a full-blown villain (who was loyal to Thanos without question). At that point, I felt she was being manipulated by Thanos. In the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, I got my wish she redeemed herself. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. LOL
So there you have it,A Villain that I WIsh Could be Redeemed & Why. I’d love to hear from you. Please share your Villain that you WIsh Could be Redeemed & Why. List them in the comments below.
Alas, I must return to my writing cave where deadlines loom with edits on my upcoming release HIDDEN GYPSY MAGIC and on a new WIP (very exciting and coming along very well) so let’s see what other authors list as their reasons. L&SR

Now lets take a moment to talk about Summer and camping. Set in the Colorado Rockies, AN ANGEL’S UNINTENTIONAL ENTANGLEMENT, Fourth book in A Demon’s Witch Series, is on SALE for 99 cents, for a limited time. Download your copy today and join the magical, fantasy adventure!
The story came about one summer when hubby and I were driving over Independence Pass. It’s one of our favorite drives in Colorado. A beautiful drive if you don’t mind the shear drop-offs. Abandoned cabins (dating back to 1880-1890) dot the landscape near the top of Independence Pass at over 12,000 feet in elevation. As I rounded the back of one of those cabins a complete scene unfolded among the spectacular views. I rushed to the truck and jotted down an outline and An Angel’s Unintentional Entanglement was born.
Caden had a story to tell, and insisted it be told before I finished up the series. The heroine in this story is Mystic Rayne. At the time I was writing this our beloved canine companion passed over the rainbow bridge. We were devastated. As the circle of life continued, a new puppy arrived and we named her Mystic Reign, after my character. Do you believe in fate? Well coincidently the release date for An Angel’s Unintentional Entanglement is August 6, 2018, which happens to be our dog, Mystic’s birthday.
A little about AN ANGEL’S UNINTENTIONAL ENTANGLEMENT:
Fallen warrior angel, Caden Silverwind, lives alone in Colorado’s rugged Rockies, healing from physical wounds as well as the mental anguish suffered during battles with dark demons. Then he finds a woman barely clinging to life after a horrendous beating. He is not prepared for the entanglement she brings to his life, nor the feelings she awakens in him.
Bureau of Indian Affairs Agent, Mystic Rayne’s personal dilemma and assignment nearly gets her killed. Divine intervention is a complication she never expected and her growing attraction to Caden is undeniable. Can she trust him with her secret?
Their quest to uncover her attacker takes them from the pristine mountains in Colorado to the wilds of Wyoming. Along the way, they find answers which may place them in more danger. Determined to solve the mystery, they must also navigate their feelings and fears to find love and unite heaven and earth.
Thanks for popping in. I really appreciate it. Next week, May 13, A Villain that I wish could be redeemed and why. A tough one. Do you have a villain that you wish could be redeemed and why?

You thought of more villains than I did! Good for you.

It was a tough topic this week. Had to rack my brain then suddenly I had three and was thankful. LOL Thanks for stopping by. I enjoyed your post too!
It was great when Nebula redeemed herself. I’ll stick to that with you. Loved that movie (even if both GotG made me cry). 🙂 Great post!
Loved GotG, can’t say it made me cry though. Thanks for stopping by!
I love Nebula! That movie was great, as was the entire Marvel series.
I LOVE Marvel series. Nebula deserved her redemption. Thanks for stopping by Jennifer!
Nebula is awesome, and I loved that she got a redemption arc. Like, she’s one of the very few characters where I thought that really worked.
And yes, I’m old enough to occasionally wonder what might have happened if Snidely Whiplash had maybe just asked Nell to meet him for coffee instead.
I also wondered what might have happened if Muttley had gone off to take up a career in, I don’t know, stand-up comedy or something.
Anyway, my choices are here.
Interesting thoughts. I did enjoy your choices too. Thanks for stopping by!
Nebula is the perfect example and I was so glad she got a redemption arc. And not through some intervention by a knight in shining armour, but through her own personal growth. And a massive knock-down-drag-out with her adopted sister! Great post, thanks for sharing! It’s my first time on the Wednesday Weekly Challenge and I’m loving reading everyone’s picks.
Glad you are enjoying the posts. I find the weekly challenges fun and insightful. Glad you stopped by!
Good choice with Nebula. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/2020/05/wc-041320.html
Love Guardians of the Galaxy! Thanks for stopping bu!
This topic had everyone scratching their heads, Tena. But you gave me a smile with your choice of Snidely Whiplash. That name is such a crackup. No wonder he has evil issues!
