AUTHOR INTERVIEW with JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT!

1. I've heard that the 4th and 5th books of the Lux series are now going to be written in both Daemon and Kat's POV. What made you decide this?

There were two reasons. Having another POV works with how the story plays out and the second reason was that so many fans enjoy Daemon's POV and since I'm not rewriting entire books in his POV, I figured this was the next best thing. 

2. Yay! I can NOT wait for the 4th book to read Daemon's POV! Out of all your books (including ones which will come out this year), which was your favourite to write and why? Which was the most challenging and why?

Deity and Opal are both tied as my most favorite to write and challenging. So much happens in both those books that really changes the game. 

3.I've already read Deity and yes people, a lot of stuff happened in Deity. But I'm pretty sure Opal will be even more amazing. He he. What's one paranormal creature that you would never write about and why?

Probably werewolves. I've never been interested in them.

4. Never been interested in werewolves either. How do you make up names for all your characters? Is there any meaning or significance to their names?

I'm terrible at making up names. That's why so many of my character names rhymes. The Covenant series is the only one where the names hold significance.

5. Haha! I love the names Daemon and Aiden and Hayden! Just so you know. As a reader, what is the most important to you, the characters or the plot? As a writer, is it different?

As a reader and writer, the characters are the most important. They can save a loose plot and carry a story forward. Bad characters in my opinion kill a novel, no matter how great the plot is.

6. That's like me! I'm a big characters girl. From all your boys, which one of them is your favourite and why?

That's like asking to choose a favorite kid. Not going to happen. =)

7. I love all of your boys but Daemon has got to be my fave. We're all so amazed at how much and how quickly you can write! But how long does it actually take you to write and finish a first draft?

It really depends on the story. The quickest story I've written was seven days, but on average it's anywhere between three weeks and a little over a month.

8. How many books have you written this year? And what books are now planning to write/or are working on right now?

I've think I've written five books so far this year, maybe six. I'm currently working on edits at the moment, but I plan on finishing the 4th Lux book and the final Covenant book this year.

9.What can we expect from you next year (2013), new books, new stuff?

The Covenant series wraps up in 2013, something I'm excited and sad about. The 4th Lux book will come out, and I have some adult books coming out. In 2014, I have a YA contemporary thriller coming up from Hyperion.

10. Ooooh! Dying for all your books to come out! Want them now! And finally, anything you can tell us about Opal? (please please say some more kissy sexy scenes!!)

There's a lot of kissy sexy scenes. =)
