Jessica: What is Lucifer about?
Annabell: LUCIFER is the first book in the
SONS OF OLD TRILOGY and follows Zahara Faraday and her family. During the day,
Zahara and her family work normal jobs, live a normal life but when nightfall hits,
Zahara, along with her father Solomon who is all human while her mother Mia and
Aunt Catalina are Light Witches, hunt down rogue supernaturals—supernaturals
who are up to naughty and deadly things (i.e. stealing human memories, drinking
their blood). Enter Lucifer. He possesses a human vessel and sets out to use
Zahara’s family as part of his plan to get revenge against Heaven. He has a
past connection with Zahara’s family and will make them pay for what was done
to him many years before. There’s murder, kidnapping, Nephilim battling Light
Witches, Imagoes (supernatural creatures that can suck out human souls and
control the element of water) battling Zahara and her family, fairies trying to
steal memories, and flirt fighting romance. Fun stuff ;)

Jessica: What/who was the inspiration
for Lucifer?
Annabell: The inspiration for LUCIFER came
from a few questions: What would happen if Lucifer had a child? How would he go
about convincing a woman to have a child with him? Would he care if she fell in
love with him or just force her? Would he be able to fall in love with a human
girl? Would he be changed by that love? My story ideas always begin with a
question and spin into madness from there *muahaha*
Jessica: What made you want to write
a story involving the devil?
Annabell: I have always been fascinated with
the story of the fallen angels from the Bible. How Lucifer rebelled against
Heaven and took a legion of angels with him. Why would he betray Heaven? What
would he do if he had the opportunity to extract his revenge? Thus, placing a
character as the devil.
Jessica: What/who inspires you to
write?
Annabell: I am a MAJOR book-a-holic! Books
inspire me. I LOVE to read and have to fight myself to keep from reading and
focus on other stuff I need to get done (even now the books call out to me!)
I’m also inspired by opposites. Light and Dark. Love and Hate. Life and Death.
Pain and Healing. I like to explore the way people handle facing opposites.
Jessica: How long have you been
writing?
Annabell: I’ve been writing off and on since I
was sixteen years old. I wrote my first book when I was sixteen with my best
friend at the time but never published it. That book is a hot mess! But I came
up with the concept for the FALLEN ANGELS SERIES which moved into the SONS OF
OLD TRILOGY and got more serious about writing a few years later.
Jessica: Tough question here, who is
your favorite author?
Annabell: Awe man, that question is tough! I
LOVE so many authors! I don’t think I can name just one author but I’ll name
one of my top favorite authors: Stephen King. I have an entire shelf dedicated to
just his books. He can scare the daylights out of me and keep me hooked until I
finish the book!
Jessica: What is your favorite book
series out now?
Annabell: Ahhh! Another tough question! I’ll
just use the first one that came to mind. I LOVE the Bloodlines Series by Richelle
Mead, which is ironic considering I hated the Vampire Academy Series with a passion. I love how much of an awkward nerd Sydney Sage is. She has been so
sheltered and grew up in such a controlled setting and is insecure in many ways
about who she is. But she’s also a girl who will jump into a fight to protect
the people she cares about and to clear an innocent person’s name. I think
because I’m such a bookworm and nerd, I can relate to her so well. Plus, I like
a girl that doesn’t go all stupid just because a hot guy blinks in her
direction. And I like that she’s a girl who is SMART and STRONG. She doesn’t
use her looks to entice people but her brain.
Jessica: Who would be your perfect
book boyfriend?
Annabell: What is with these tough book
questions, Jessica?! lol There are so many yummy ones *hehe* I’m going to go
with my top three because it’s too hard to choose between them *giggle* *blush*
: Adrian from the Bloodlines Series by Richelle Mead, Barnabas from the Madison Avery Series by Kim Harrison, and Jason Shepherd
from the Dark Elite Series by Chloe Neill.
Annabell: Most of the time the TV is on as
background noise. Sometimes I’ll listen to music (like Family Force 5 or Paper
Tongues). Sometimes the house will (miraculously) be silent. A lot of the time
I’m snacking while I’m writing. I have a snack stash in my closet *hehe*
Cinnamon Teddy Grahams, Doritos, Capri-sun juice packs, Kix cereal lol.
Jessica: Totally
random question: I know you like the Beautiful Creatures series, so who
is your favorite character?
Annabell: That’s also a tough
question. I’d say it’s a tossup between Link, Macon, and Ethan (for the male
characters). Link is just the best friend everyone would want. He has your back
through everything, even when he’s terrified out of his mind, and has such a
good heart. Ethan is the sweet, cute boy next door who is totally clueless
about how to act around girls which just makes him adorable. Macon is powerful,
deadly, and carries himself with this old world elegance. I can’t wait to see how
they’re portrayed in the upcoming movie!
