TheWriter asked Laurell K. Hamilton:

I run a blog with some ladies and we named our blog after your book! It's Word Wenches Guilty Pleasure! I find your writing fascinating, I read the entire Anita Blake series in 1 1/2 weeks. My question is have you always known you would be a writer? Or did it happen later in life? Thank you so much for your remarkable stories. I absolutely love your work and can't wait to meet you someday!

Laurell K. Hamilton Honored to be a part of your naming system. *laughs* I started trying to write at about age twelve, and finished my first short story at fourteen. I know this because for years all my protagonists were exactly my age. I grew out of it, but even Anita started out as the age I was when I wrote her first short story, "Those Who Seek Forgiveness". But by fourteen I was determined to be a writer, by seventeen I was collecting my first rejection slips. I toyed with being a wildlife biologist, but in the end writing won. Though I think my biology degree helps make my vampires and shapeshifters more realistic.

Sophie asked Laurell K. Hamilton:

Why continue with anita’s Story? You’ve had multiple times to end it. Why not continue in the “Anitaverse” and write about her children or from another character?

Eva Mina

Eva Mina asked Laurell K. Hamilton:

Would you consider having an Anita Blake book with her ex-fiancé being present? Maybe introduce him in trouble and Anita needing to save him? Or maybe have him as a marshall and them having to work together? I don’t want them back together I just want her fiancé to be seen/ hopefully intimated/threatened by EDWARD/Anita’s men/Zebrowski and Dolph…. Just so we can get a whole picture of the jerk…
