Ann Kristin asked Gena Showalter:

What inspired you to start to write these kind of book, and why did you take to write f/m m/f/m?

Gena Showalter I’ve been inspired in different ways for different books. Dreams, conversations I've had, even had a book idea hit me after listening to a church sermon. The zombies in Alice in Zombieland came about from passages of scripture: (paraphrasing) our battle is not against flesh and blood but against evil spirits (I loved the idea of spirit zombies fighting the spirits of slayers)

The Original Heartbreakers series 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. I wanted to write sassy Southern belles and a quirky small town. I wanted dark and gritty but also sexy and witty. I hope I delivered!
