Sandy.between.books asked Gena Showalter:

I wanted to ask about the world you've created. How did you come ? Have you thought about writing some other different theme , such as historical romance ? Thanks.

Gena Showalter The first book I wrote (while in jr high) was a historical. I sucked it up big time because my characters sounded so modern :) Never again!

The Original Heartbreakers series (and The Closer You Come) came about because I wanted to write about bad boys with traumatic pasts who have the same brotherly bond found in my Lords of the Underworld series -- and yet, I wanted these men to be ones I could truly meet. I wanted to write sassy Southern belles (kinda like the girls in my life) and a quirky small town I wished I lived. I wanted dark and gritty but also sexy and witty. I hope I delivered!
