How did you get the idea for Firstlife? And when is the next book coming out? And are you planning on writing any new series?
Gena Showalter
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. :)
The second book, Lifeblood, comes out Feb 28th! (have you seen the cover? Gorgeous! You can find it here: http://members.genashowalter.com/page...)
And here's the blurb:
"Lifeblood ramps up the action "Ten"fold--don't miss this exhilarating sequel to Firstlife!" --#1 New York Times bestselling author P. C. Cast
It’s time to do what I was born to do. It’s time to arise and shine.
Whatever I face—be it war, persecution, hunger, simple threats or my Second-death—I will not be deterred. Night will be replaced by day, and those who cry in the dark will rejoice in the morning.
The day is about to dawn. Time is short. Let the battle begin.

"My Firstlife is over, but my Everlife is only now beginning."
With her last living breath, Tenley “Ten” Lockwood made her choice and picked her realm in the Everlife. Now, as the war between Troika and Myriad rages, she must face the consequences.
Because Ten possesses a rare supernatural ability to absorb and share light, the Powers That Be have the highest expectations for her future—and the enemy wants her neutralized. Fighting to save her Secondlife, she must learn about her realm from the ground up while launching her first mission: convincing a select group of humans to join her side before they die. No pressure, right?
But Ten's competition is Killian, the boy she can’t forget—the one who gave up everything for her happiness. He has only one shot at redemption: beating Ten at a game she’s never even played. As their throw-downs heat up, so do their undeniable feelings, and soon, Ten will have to make another choice. Love…or victory.

HI! I read your series The White Rabbit Chronicles and I'm waiting for the fourth book. My questions are: How do you get your ideas of creating a character? What makes each of your characters distinctive without making them similar (dialogue, personality, hobbies, etc.)? Thank you!
