Hi, everyone! Like my lovely friend Emma Lang, I am currently counting down the days until my next Kensington Brava release. Emma and I are release buddies–our books will both be available on Tuesday, June 29th.
I’m so looking forward to the release of I’LL BE SLAYING YOU–and I sure hope readers enjoy the book!
Sometimes when I start a book, I begin with a particular scene in mind and that scene inspires the entire book. Other times, a character will take shape in my imagination and the rest of the story develops from that character. For I’LL BE SLAYING YOU, well, none of that happened.
Instead, I’LL BE SLAYING YOU came into being because…I thought of the title. One day, this title just popped into my head. I loved the title, and I immediately knew what type of story I’d write to go with it. But first, I had to set up the tale–actually, I had to set up the series. So I wrote the first book in my Night Watch series, ETERNAL HUNTER, and I introduced readers to my paranormal bounty hunters.
Then, when Jude’s story was finished, I turned my attention to I’LL BE SLAYING YOU. By this point, I pretty much had the entire story mapped out in my head. I started writing (it was around Halloween, so this made the tale twice as much paranormal fun for me), and my slayer story flowed quickly onto the pages.
I had a fabulous time writing this book. It was great to visit my Night Watch world again. And speaking of my Night Watch world…if you haven’t already taken my Night Watch Hunter quiz, here’s a link! Go find out which Night Watch hunter you’d be.
Turns out that I’m Jude Donovan–White Tiger Shifter. Guess I have an animal side. Do you? Or are you more of a slaying kind of girl? (Like Dee?)

That’s interesting that you had a title first. I’m a big Bon Jovi fan and Jon says he and Richie start with a title then write the song. Too me, that seems difficult. Either way I’m very glad you started this series.
Took the quiz a couple days ago figuring I’d be Jude as well since I’m always a cat but I’m a demon instead. Looking forward to I’ll Be Slaying You.
Can’t wait for your release, either, Cynthia
Took the quiz… turns out I’m Zane Wynter–Hybrid Demon
mwahahahaha
Hey Ali – I’m Zane too, go figure.
Since I am the biggest chicken ever I had no idea what my results would be, but I too was Jude Donovan, Ooh, white tigers are gorgeous (SO not me).
I hope you have a fabulous release day!
Hi, Viki! This was the first time a title inspired the story for me. I’m hoping it happens again.
And very interesting info on Bon Jovi (I’m a big fan, too!).
Thanks, Ali! Hmmm…I thought there might be a bit of a demon in you.
Brandy, I bet you’re an awesome white tiger. And thanks for the release day wishes!
See, I keep telling everyone I’m a bit evil, hehe
I tell people that I am, too.
Looking forward to this book. Congrads on your realease.
Hey you – I’m so excited to be release partners again. They always pair the best together.
Congrats Cindy!!
Thank you, Sue!!
Hey, release buddy!!
Can’t wait to read your book!
