I’m one of those seat-of-the-pants writer, I don’t have it all plotted out. Literary Escapism: Was there any part of Morgan’s world that you would like to expand on in the future? But it is really hard to resolve for Morgan, the idea of being possessed by a demon who is actually a good guy. How I got from there to a demon-possessed exorcist, I’m not entirely sure. So I decided I wanted a personal conflict that can not be solved in one book.
So I thought, what was it about this series that was making it so intriguing for me? I thought it was the conflict level, that it was so deep that it could not be kept all in one book – and it was all personal conflict. That was the first series I’d read where I didn’t start losing interest five or six books in. I was influenced by what was my favorite of the urban fantasy series – Laurell K Hamilton’s Anita Blake. I always came out in a really formal voice, which doesn’t work for urban fantasy. Jenna Black: I started out with the idea of writing an urban fantasy series and at that point, I had never written successfully in first person. Literary Escapism: Why Morgan? What was it about Morgan that drew you to her and want to tell her story? Caught between two worlds, Dana isn’t sure where she’ll ever fit in and who can be trusted, not to mention if her world will ever be normal again… Someone’s trying to kill her, and everyone seems to want something from her, from her newfound friends and family to Ethan, the hot Fae guy Dana figures she’ll never have a chance with… until she does. Soon, Dana finds herself tangled up in a cutthroat game of Fae politics.
But from the moment Dana sets foot in Avalon, everything goes wrong, for it turns out she isn’t just an ordinary teenage girl-she’s a Faeriewalker, a rare individual who can travel between both worlds, and the only person who can bring magic into the human world and technology into Faerie.
When her alcoholic mom shows up at her voice recital drunk, again, Dana decides she’s had enough and runs away to find her mysterious father in Avalon: the only place on Earth where the regular, everyday world and the captivating, magical world of Faerie intersect. Jenna is celebrating the release of Glimmerglass, the first novel in her new Faeriewalker series.ĭana Hathaway doesn’t know it yet, but she’s in big trouble. Of course, I couldn’t resist asking a few questions about my favorite demon exorcist, especially since The Devil’s Playground may be the last novel in the series. While at RT, I had the chance to talk with Jenna Black and I so took it.
