SPOILERS!!
SPOILERS!! SPOILERS!!
Be
warned, the following post is full of SPOILERS!!!!
So,
if you don't mind SPOILERS, go right ahead and read the following transcript of
today's Q&A session at the Newport Barnes & Noble.
So....Ready?
Set....
Go:
First
up, Karen Marie Moning:
Q:In
the next book, is Danny going to be more than 14?
A:Yes,
she will be. And she will be sexually viable.
Q:The
teasers that you’ve been posting, how much time has passed since the last book?
A:That’s
a really good question. Keep reading.
Q:Are
you going to sell the options to the books?
The
options have expired, and I’m actually happy about that, because I would prefer
to see it as a TV series.
Q:Are
we going to see more of the Highlanders?
Yes,
in Burned.
And
then, onto JR Ward:
Q:
How much of the Angels are we going to see in future BDB books?
A:
Ed and Adrian are going to be tasked with finding Lassiter. So we just have to
catch the BDB timeline up with the Angels.
Q:Will
we ever see the main characters in Story of Son in future BDB stories?
A:I
don’t know if we’ll see them again.
Q:Devina
keeps saying she wants a man as evil as she is, and that makes me think of
Lash. Is that going to be the next book?
A:I
can’t release the name of the book after Shadows.
Q:The
teaser on FB that you think you aren’t allowed to write…can you tell us what
that is?
A:I’m
going to have to keep quiet about that, because I’m going to have to ease my
boss into that.
Q:Will
Adrian and Eddie get their own books?
A:Yes,
but not for a while, because I already know who the next two books are. But I
can’t say.
Q:Can
you tell me if you’re going to have the SV give Wrath his sight back?
A:No,
it’s just where Wrath is now. But the SV is coming back at some point.
Q:Is
The Bourbon Kings about werewolves and is it set in the Southern U.S.?
A:It’s
not about werewolves but is set in the South. Imagine Dowton Abby set in the
south. There will be a signing in the beginning of April for the Shadows, then
a signing for the BK around the first of August. And there’s a new series
coming out next year that the BDB fans will love. But there won’t be werewolves
in that one, either.
Q:Any
chance you can do a signing in New York?
A:I
think there’s a chance we might do another one up there at some point. My
publishers want me up there. So, it’s going to be a matter of having the time.
Q:Selena
is the first dark haired, darker skinned chosen we’ve seen so far. Is Selena
the product of a mating of the Primale and someone other than a Chosen?
A:The
problem is whether I tell you now or let you read it in her book. She is a
product of the Primale, but it matters the Primale is at the time. The thing
that we sometimes forget is that Rhage is blonde, blue-eyed, but the rest are
more olive, dark-toned.
Q:Will
Murhder be in other books?
A:I
thought he was in this book, but I’m not sure if he shows up before the end or
not. But he will definitely be coming back.
Q:Who
is the model on the cover of The Shadows?
A:I
don’t know, NY does that, but they tried to match my description of the tats.
Q:What’s
going to happen between Layla and Xcor?
A:
A whole helluva lot of Barry White. Their relationship goes to another level in
the shadows.
Q:How
was Devina able to keep one of the Swarovski shoes when everything else went?
A:She
starts the book with the shoes, so she ends the book with the shoes. I look at
it as a gift from the Creator.
Q:Devina
is so crazy. Can we see more of her therapist?
A:The
therapist was God. So the therapist we saw doesn’t actually exist.
Q:At
the end of Immortal, when Jim was in the kitchen, he was talking about “her”.
Who was he referring to?
A:It
was Jim’s mother.
Q:Are
there other Chosen who go back and forth in between the worlds? Will we see more
of them?
A:Those
Chosen aren’t very compelling characters, so they need to live more life in
this world to be interesting.
Q:
You've said before that some things are more than they appear. What more is
Boo?
A:I
know, but I’m not saying.
Q:The
Purgatory that we saw in Immortal…is that where Wellsie was?
A:Yep,
it’s the same In Between.
Q:The
beginning books were all Lover Something. Now we’re going with titles that
being with “The.” So is this a new theme?
A:I
could see this being a thing, because there’s only so many “Lovers” you can do.
Q:What
about the Rhage and Mary novella? Is it almost finished?
I
think you’ll be reading about them in the future.
A:Fritz
was seventy seven when he was working for that other family, and he left that
employment. What would make him do that at his age?
I
like to think he was unhappy, and when Darius established his own household,
Fritz went with him.
Q:Do
assail and sola get together.
A:Absolutely.
Q:Is
assail the one who drives the Rolls Royce?
A:Nope.
Q:We
have to get Adrian and Eddie caught up to BDB. How long are we talking?
A:Hmmm,
itQ: doesn’t take us very long, maybe a month or so.
Q:How
much of s’Ex and the Queen are we going to see?
A:I
don’t want to see the Queen, I want to see s’Ex. But I’m going to warn you need
to get your tissues ready. Something happens at the beginning of the Shadows
that changes s’Ex’ entire trajectory.
Q:Does
iAm have sex?
A:Yeah….But
I’m not saying with who.
Q:Do
the twins share a mate?
A:Nope,
they each get their own.
Q:Is
iAm’s mate going to be female?
A:Yes,
his mate is female, but I’m not saying who today.
Q:Is
the SV going to get it together?
A:She
shows up in the beginning of the Shadows.
Q:Any
idea who Saxton ends up with?
A:I
have an idea, but not sure.
Q:Will
the SV and the Omega have a confrontation?
A:I’m
sure they’ll have to, eventually.
Q:So
Devina’s not going to be redeemed?
A:I
just think she and Lash would make a lovely couple
Q:Is
it possible that Qhuinn is adopted?
A:No,
he is the blooded brother of Lucas.
Q:Are
we going to find more about the other Bastards?
A:You
will and those will be interesting books, especially if they all come around
the way I think they will.
Q:Are
JM and Blay going to be made Brothers?
A:I
will tell you they will, but I can’t say when yet. All of these plotlines run
into the future, so, it’s hard to say which book that will fall in.
Q:Where
is Qhuinn’s brother, Lucas?
A:He’s
in the Training Center med center. He has an infection in his leg that’s
hampering his recovery.
Q:What
about Lassiter and Devina getting together?
A:No.
Q:Will
Butch and Marissa have a baby.
A:I
guess, but I don’t know.
Q:Will
be see more of Blay and Qhuinn?
A:You’ll
see more of them in Layla’s book, though you’ll see a lot of Qhuinn in this
book with his brother.
Q:What
about Nick Rhodes from Story of Son and the Jessica Bird books?
A:We’ll
see of more of him.
Q:What
was Lassiter doing when he created the Dead Sea?
A:Messing
around. He’s awesome, I love him.
Q:Will
we see more of Abolone and his daughter,Paradise?
A:Yes,
they’ll be in future books. Right now, she’s a year or two out of her
transition.
Q:What
kinds of things go on between characters who knew one another before they were
involved in the BDB?
A:That’s
kind of like a love story for Fritz. It would be interesting but not very
explosive.
Q:What
about another IG and a map of the mansion?
A:I
just don’t have time for another IG or those kinds of details and backstories
right now.
Q:Will
Lassiter have a book and a mate?
A:Yes,
he will.
Q:Who
was the “her” Vishous was talking about when he was giving Lassiter grief in
previous book?
A:The
“her” will come out as we learn more of the backstory between Vishous,
Lassiter, and Throe.
Q:Why
does Jim keep having sex with Devina?
A:Part
of the reason is that it’s one way for him to express his anger with her. I
kind of think it has to do with the evil in him. It’s not love.
Q:Why
do we hear about Fritz but not other doggen? We never see children and
families, just older doggen.
A:It’s
a part of the world that’s just not that explosive and interesting.
Q:Any
thoughts on an erotic novel about Lash, Devina and Hell?
A:Nope.
Q:Devina
keeps going after Jim. Why will she want Lash?
A:Devina
loves Jim because he has redeemable qualities but what appeals to her about
Lash, is that he’s not redeemable. For her, that’s part of her attraction to
Lash. He doesn’t give a sh*t and so she’s going to be drawn by that. He’s going
to be an obsession, because she loves the chase and she needs to collect.
Q:Why
did other characters come back?
A:Sissy
was seeing the halos above the heads of the souls in play. She had to
understand that Jim was the soul in play so others had to come back so she
could understand the pattern.
Q:Will
Jim and Sissy stay in heaven or come back?
A:They’re
in heaven and won’t come back.
Q:When
Lash and Devina come back, will they look human or be their disgusting selves?
A:They’ll
look the same as they appear to humans now.
Q:When
is Layla giving birth? Will that create a lot of drama?
A:Yes,
it does. Things get so bad for Xcor. Some of it isn’t even his fault. Xcor is
one of my favorite people.
Q:Who
did Xcor save in the alley?
A:Xcor
shaved Tohrment’s life in the alley.. That event was recorded by a human. So
it’s coming that humans realize there are vampires,
Q:Does
Blay accept the baby?
A:He’s
wonderful with the baby and his parents accept the baby.
Q:When
will she have the baby, the next book?
A:I
can’t say, I’m not sure how far ahead we get. It’s a really big book.
Q:Is
the new forelesser Lash?
A:No.
Q:How
far along is Layla at the beginning of The Shadows?
A:She’s
getting there.
Q:In
this book will we find out what is wrong with Selena?
A:Yes,
absolutely. But I have to say, this book didn’t turn out the way I expected.
Q:Are
you saying we’re going to be mad at you after the next books?
A:It’s
not me, I just write what I see.
Q:Will
you ever write about the next generation of BDB, like Little Wrath, Nalla, and
Aghony?
A:I
don’t know. We’ll just have to see.
Q:Why
can Adrian now have an erection? Is that because he got rid of the evil inside
him?
A:What
Adrian assumed from Matthias, it was evil that latched onto him. When it was
expelled, he was cleansed.
Q:What
is the origin of the evil and was it in Eddie?
A:No,
Eddie never had sex with Devina, so was never corrupted like the others, which
was the point.
Q:Will
Adrian keep having wandering hands?
A:I
can’t answer that.
Q:Will
we see the relationship between Butch and Manny.
A:I
want to see the paternal relationship and find out who’s the daddy.
Q:When
are the Brothers going to go back to kicking a$$.
A:I
think the BoB has been more visible in the field than the Brothers have
recently, because their primary directive is to protect the King. So, now that
the threat has eased, we should see them fighting more.
Q:What
happened to the trainees and will we see them again?
A:That’s
such an interesting question….
Q:Do
Adrian and Eddie hate Lassiter for the same reason or do they each have their
own? Is there a big thing that made everyone hate him?
A:Lassiter
is just annoying and gets off on annoying people. There is a specific event
that happened involving Lassiter Throe, Vishous and Throe’s sister. So, the
details will come out in future books.
Q:What’s
the difference between the matings between the Brothers and their shellans and
the matings of civilians.
A:Because
of the pureness of the blood, they seem to bond more deeply.
Q:Which
characters do you not love?
A:Caith,
the slut ho bag from the first two books. I don’t like loose women. I don’t
have a trouble with loose men. I don’t like Havers at all. I don’t like the
woman who was with the entire BoB, who was married to the old guy. I didn’t
like the SV initially but like her now. I didn’t like Beth’s boss, Dick. I like
Devina but I still don’t like Lash, partly because of the scene with JM in the
bathroom.
Q:Does
your mother read your books.
A:No.
No, no.
Q:When
Qhuinn talked about running away, he mentioned going to a rebel camp out west?
A:Yes,
there are definitely more vampires, and we’ll see more of them in future books,
but I’m never sure when these things happen until I write each book.
Q:How
long of a series is The Bourbon Kings?
A:It’s
open-ended and will just depend on how it goes. It’s similar to Dynasty. It’s
more about the emotional stuff.
Q:Adrian
and Eddie will get their own books within the BDB?
A:I’m
guessing so, but I’m not sure. Based on what I know of the backstory for
Lassiter, I think that’s what happens.
Q:In
Lover at Last, it seemed as if there wasn’t the same level of passion as the
other couples. Was this intentional, or was it the result of your discomfort
with writing male/male sex?
A:I
don’t think it was different than the others. It felt the same to me.
