Hi Gena. I have a 3 part question. First, who or what was your inspiration for the Lords and Lady of the Underworld? Second, when do you see Cameos story finally come out? Cannot wait to see who you choose for her mate. Finally, you have written some Otherworld Assassin and Alien Huntress novels..when will there be more of those..Love them all! Thank you!!
Gena Showalter
Thank you!
When I began writing the Lords of the Underworld series, I had the grain of an idea. An immortal man is killed...but awakens the next morning knowing he has to die again. I played the "What If and Why" game. Why is he killed? Why does he awaken? Why does he have to die again? Eventually I asked myself: What if men opened Pandora's box. The series was born.
Coming June 13, 2017 is The Darkest Promise, Cameo's story! Here's the blurb:
New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter returns with a sizzling Lords of the Underworld story about an iron-willed sovereign and the somber beauty who melts him with a glance...
Possessed by the demon of Misery, Cameo isn’t allowed to experience joy. If she dares, her memory is wiped clean. With no other recourse, she sneaks into a land more fantastical than any fairytale, determined to find the one man with the key to her redemption.
Lazarus the Cruel and Unusual rules his kingdom with unwavering focus: to build his army and annihilate his enemies. Nothing distracts him—until Cameo. He is relentless in his quest to make her smile...and seduce her into his bed.
As dark forces conspire against them, threatening to destroy the fragile bond they've forged, the once-calm Lazarus grows crazed. Every heart-stopping kiss and wicked touch causes Cameo to teeter on the brink of happiness. But if she falls, she risks forgetting him forever…
As for Otherworld Assassins and Alien Huntress... Now that Dallas's story is out in the wild (Blood Red Kiss/Dark Swan), I would love to write John's book. I'll be self-publishing it, however, and need to get some contracted books off my plate first. So. I don't have an official release date yet, or any new news on this front, but will post as soon as I do!

Gena Showalter:
If William wants to pick someone I will accept it. It was more than obvious that Gilly was the exact opposite of William in her innocence and wasn't why William was attracted to her? I guess maybe that the question why was William attracted to Gilly in the first place and did he waste his time or was Gilly a step in the direction of finding who he really needed. I trust your decision you are a great writer.
