Judith asked Gena Showalter:

I have read all of the Lords of Underworld, all of the Angels of the Dark, most of the Alien Huntress, and all of the Atlantis series. I love how you write your main romance between heroes & heroines intermixed with such intriguing otherworldly characters. But sometimes the torture and fight scenes are hard to read. Do you have trouble writing those scenes or does it just come to you in your imaginations?

Gena Showalter The scenes play through my head like a movie, so it's easy for me to remain emotionally distanced. That might be why I sometimes go overboard :) There have been times my editor had to ask me to tone down the fight/torture scenes (I'm thinking of The Darkest Pleasure specifically, when Reyes uses the blade on himself.)
