Hi Gena! I'm a huge fan of your work and your personality in general! I have two questions: What inspired you to write FirstLife and the dynamic and awesome characters within? Also, do you have any advice for aspiring authors?

Gena Showalter Thank you!

I was listening to my favorite pastor talk about kingdom versus kingdom, light versus dark, and the first seeds for Firstlife were planted. Everything else grew from there. :)

My best advice is to write for an audience of one. What one reader loves, another will hate. What one hates, another will love. It is impossible to make everyone happy. Write a book YOU love!

Briar's Reviews asked Gena Showalter:

Hi Gena! I've followed you closely over the years since you're one of the authors that initially got me into reading. Since you've moved onto Firstlife and other new books, I was curious as to why you stopped the Intertwined series? I've seen that you weren't continuing it, but I never knew why! That series got me through a surgery in grade 9 when I had to stay at home, so I'm just nosy! Thank you so much!
