Interview with Sarah J. Pepper author of 'Devi'd Lullaby'

In Sarah J. Pepper’s fantasy novel "Devil’s Lullaby (Ringer’s Masquerade Series #1)", a young woman, whose sole reason for existence is to act as an organ donor, is motivated to fight for her life and change her destiny when she finds love. Let’s find out what Pepper has to say about "Devil’s Lullaby" and the writing process.

Q: Once you got the idea for "Devil’s Lullaby" did you start working on it right away or did you have to live with it for a while?

A: I got the idea late one spring. I let it soak in my imagination that summer while riding my bike - I'm a bit of a biker fanatic, so it was wonderful to think about all the twist and turns the story could take. Once I did start, I polished off the novel in 19 days. I couldn't stop writing.

Q: What do you hope to accomplish with this series of books?

A: I hope to change people's opinions. Everything in life isn't black and white. There is no clear-cut answer, especially when in love... or hate.


Q: What are the most interesting trends you see in the paranormal genre? Where do you think paranormal fiction is headed?

A: The possibilities are endless. In the realm of fantasy and paranormal, it can go as far as one's imagination.

Q: If "Devil’s Lullaby" was made into a movie who would you want to see cast in the leading roles?

A: Oh, I kinda of have this crush on Paul Wesley from the Vampire Diaries. I think Isla Fisher would make a lovely leading lady.

Q: Do you have a primary source of inspiration?

A: I don't try to sound cliche, but my husband...I actually dedicated the series to him....To the valiant warrior who stole my delicate heart only to protect it with his own. He whispered surreal possibilities and opened my eyes to a world I dared not to imagine. My life would be comprised of dull colors and lifeless music without you, Dusty. You give me the world when I gaze into your eyes—your soul.

Q: Describe what you think your typical fan is like.

A: Like me and my friends.... a bunch of girls who dream about prince charming when scrubbing the toilet while wishing that their husband had better aim, lol. And then there is the high schooler/college girl who is still trying to find their way in the world. This novel is written about a girl trying to make sense of her life; thus, I think they could relate.
