I particularly wanted to explore the themes of love, loyalty and temptation. Well, the Angel series was a planned trilogy, so I always knew that I'd be writing Angel Fire.
Why do you feel you had to tell this story? (I can just see Alex now, watching me accusingly with his arms crossed over his chest.) If they could speak outside of the context of the story, though, I imagine they'd tell me to get back to work on book 3, Angel Fever. Oh, they already do speak for themselves! I promise, I have no control over them. If you gave some of your characters an opportunity to speak for themselves, what would they say? Also, both Alex and Willow were forced to grow up quickly, which I can also relate to. No, not really they pretty much came to me fully-formed! However, my mother was a little bit psychic at times, so that might have influenced me when writing about Willow. Have you based any of your characters on someone you know, or real events in your own life? I don't really have anything to do with the cover design, but feel extremely lucky to have two such great covers for the book, both in the UK and the US.
How did you come up with the title and cover design for Angel Fire?Īngel Fire seemed a natural title - it continued the 'Angel' theme started with Angel Burn, and basically indicates that things are heating up in the series. To someone else, they might seem new and exciting." "Don't worry if your story ideas seem boring to you that's only because you're used to them. What is the best advice that you have ever been given when it comes to writing? I've been writing almost literally my whole life, though I've only been published for about the last 10 years. My parents were both hugely supportive of my writing. What or who inspired you to write? And how long have you been writing? I love spicy food, so am very lucky to live in England: home of fabulous Indian curry! What is the name of your most recent book and if you had to sum it up in 30 or less words, what would you say?Īngel Fire takes Alex and Willow to Mexico City to face the Seraphic Council - where they also encounter Seb, a half-angel who's been looking for Willow his entire life. I was very serious about it, too I was determined to get it published. I always wanted to be a writer - in fact, one of my first memories is of writing and illustrating a story. (Yes, I still have my American accent!)Īs a child, what did you want to do when you grew up? I was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, and now live in Hampshire, England, where I've lived for the last 16 years. Tell me a bit about yourself, where were you born and where do you call home?
