Melly Dimitrova asked Gena Showalter:

Hello, I've read some of your series such as Lords of the Underworld and its spin-off series Angels of the Dark. I like myths and I found your books quite interesting. So I'd like to ask you about where did you come up with the idea for the Lords of the Underworld? Can't wait for the thirteenth book about Cameo! Best regards!

Gena Showalter I had an idea about an immortal male dying one night only to awaken the next morning knowing he had to die again, but I put the idea on the back burner. I wasn't sure what to do with it. Then came contract time, and I HAD to give my publisher an idea or I wouldn't be selling a book. So I pitched the above to my agent and she said what I suspected: You need more. So I sat down and played the What If and Why game. What if this happens? What i that happens? WHY do those things happen? Lords of the Underworld was born :)
