Author Interview & Contest with Christina Henry!!!

My Guest this week is author Christina Henry! Her debut novel Black Wings was an amazing read and the second part in the series, Black Night, is already out! My pre-order arrived on my Kindle already ;)

So get to know Christina in the interview below and then enter this weeks contest and maybe you will win a copy of the new release, Black Night!

---------------------------

Amber - Welcome to Amberkatze's Book Blog! It is great to have you here as a guest! Could you start things off by telling us a little about your new release Black Night?

Christina - Well, things are not going great for Maddy. Lucifer is manipulating her into a diplomatic mission to the faerie court, and her oh-so-annoying unwanted fiancé Nathaniel is coming along. Unfortunately, the last ambassador was beheaded in front of the entire court for a breach of etiquette and as we know, Maddy has a lot of trouble keeping her mouth shut, especially when she ought to!

Amber - Black Night is the second book in the Black Wings Series. What can we expect from the new installment and what do we have to watch out for?

Christina – I think there is a lot more action and adventure in this book. I really wanted to write a book that reflected the things that I enjoy in urban fantasy. The pace is pretty much nonstop, but I had so much fun writing it that way.

Amber - If your books were going to be made into a film or TV series, who could you see playing the lead roles?

Christina – I have always pictured Michael Fassbender as Gabriel. He’s probably the only character who looks like a real person in my head. When I first heard Gabriel’s voice it was Michael Fassbender’s voice.

I have a lot of trouble seeing any particular actress as Maddy, mostly because Maddy is a little bit overweight and every actress seems to be super-skinny!

I’d like Richard Armitage as J.B. He’s so good at walking that line between good and bad onscreen.

Amber - Will there be more books in the series? Are you working on anything else?

Christina – Right now there will be six books in the series. If it seems like there is more story to tell after six then there may be more.

Amber - Is there a paranormal creature you just don't like, and would never use in your books?

Christina – I like reading other author’s stories about vampires but I don’t feel that I have a lot to add in that direction, so I don’t really see vampires becoming a big part of Maddy’s world.

Amber - What paranormal creatures are you dying to fit into a story but you haven't managed to fit in yet?

Christina – I have some ideas that include other paranormal creatures, but since I don’t want Maddy’s world to get too crowded I will probably confine them to short stories for now.

Amber - A lot of authors are writing now in both adult and YA genres. Have you considered writing a YA book?

Christina – I think it takes real skill to write a great YA novel and I don’t think that I have that skill. I love to read so many YA authors and I’m just in awe of how they can make a book accessible to kids and adults.

Amber - What have you been reading and watching lately?

Christina – I don’t watch a ton of TV but I did watch “Game of Thrones” on HBO and loved it. It’s the first time I’ve actually committed to watching a TV show every week since “Deadwood” got cancelled (still annoyed about that…grrrr).

I just finished reading Janet Evanovich’s “Smokin’ Seventeen” and now I’m reading a book called “The Male Brain” by Louann Brizendine. I like to switch back and forth between fiction and nonfiction.

Amber - What's your favorite paranormal movie of all time?

Christina – “Night of the Living Dead”, with “The Host” and “The Frighteners” coming in at a close second and third.

Amber - And to finish, If you could be any famous person, alive or dead, who would you be? and why?

Christina – I always think that famous people’s lives are probably not as great as they look from a distance, so I think I’ll just stick to being me :)

Amber - Thanks for visiting Amberkatze's Book Blog again!

Christin - Thanks so much for having me!
