Interview + Giveaway: Sidney Ayers, author of Demons Prefer Blondes
Thanks for much for allowing me to interview you, Sidney. Vampires, Werewolves and Angels are topping the paranormal lists right now. What drew you to the world of the demonic?
I wanted to do something a little different, for that exact reason. Vampires, werewolves and shifters seemed to be everywhere. And adding a comedic bend to the demon lore seemed appropriate. Things were getting way too dark out there.
Was humor always going to be a part of the book, or did that develop naturally out of the characters?
It’s just something that happened. As soon as I got into my heroine’s head, the comedy just came second nature. Writing humor and off-the-wall situations is liberating in a weird sort of way.
You also write erotic romance under the name ‘Arianna Skye’. Do you find one genre more fun to write than the other?
Both genres are rewarding in their own unique ways. Both my erotic and mainstream novels have a touch of snark in them that make both genres a lot of fun to write.
Everyone loves a bad boy. Who fits the bill for you?
I’ve always had a thing for men with accents. Gerard Butler and Colin Farrell are a couple of my favorites.
What’s next for the Demons Unleashed series?
Demons Like It Hot (Serah’s and Matthias’ story) will come out in December. Kalli’s and Joshua’s story will follow in June, 2012.
Thanks again, Sidney!!
