Kiersten Fay is the USA Today bestselling author of the steamy Ever Nights Chronicles, the award winning Shadow Quest series, and the popular Creatures of Darkness Series.

The first book in her Ever Nights series, Keeping His Siren, won the 2018 National Excellence in Romance Fiction Award, and the third Shadow Quest novel, The Demon’s Retribution won the 2012 Gravetells Favorite Story award, earning her a nomination for Favorite Author in that same year.

When not writing or catering to her two demanding cats, she can be found fussing over cover designs for her next novel.

In my adolescent years, I read books, followed shows, watched movies, got into anime, and even delved into comic books/graphic novels. During this time, and unbeknownst to me, the bones of my shadow quest series slowly began developing in my mind.

To be honest, I never really thought anything of it. It was just a story that wouldn’t get out of my head and refused to leave me alone. It literally kept me up at night, demanding attention, and I would think “Dammit, I have work in the morning!”

I didn’t say, “hey, I could turn this into a book, or a series, quit my job, publish it, and ultimately become a writer,” but somehow, that’s exactly what happened.

When I finally did decide to put it down on paper—or rather, computer—it was just because I needed so badly to get it out of me. Once I did, however, it was like a breached dam, a long sigh from my soul as the words flowed from my fingertips.

Before I knew it, I had a completed novel, then another, and another. And finally I could sleep! Or so I thought...

Turns out a new story was just waiting in line to plague my nights. And so I began work on my latest series called Creature of Darkness. Whereas Shadow Quest is a series of traditional type love stories, Creature of darkness is a little darker, a little grittier, and follows a heroine who isn’t exactly what she seems, and some heroes who are, at times, more animal than man. There are more twists, more drama, and much more complicated relationships between the heroine and her heroes. It’s definitely not your ordinary romance series, but one that will keep you engulfed.

“Space was a hostile environment that required a sharp and cunning mind over prestige any day. That, and a shit load of weapons.”
Kiersten Fay, Demon Possession

“You should stay and keep me company, so I don't get lonely.”

“You don't seem like the type of guy who gets lonely.”

“Is that a compliment or an insult?”

Analia only shrugged.”
Kiersten Fay, Demon Possession

“This beautiful, perfect in every way, eternal creature was finally about to be his forever. The smile that crept onto his lips felt unreal, like he'd stolen something that should never have belonged to him, but had come to be his most treasured possession.”
Kiersten Fay, Demon Possession

------------------------------------------
Thanks for the questions, Suzy.

Every time I create a new character I imagine a new book, though I don't they they will all really get their story told, but I do have quite a few books on the back-burner. Let's just say a lot. ;)

Your other question is a difficult one...hmmm. I tend to see them all as anime characters rather than people, but here goes.

Jason Momoa would make a good Marik, I think.



Sebastian is going to be tough...off to hunt...

...Okay... Sebastian reminds me of a mix between these guys.



[image error]


Cale, who I'm currently working on, reminds me of a mix between of these. (But with spiky blonde hair)

Well, I can tell you that I'm over halfway through writing the first draft of Demon Slave. It's Marik and Nadua's story, with cameos of the others. I just finished a volatile scene between Sonya and Ethanule.

I'm almost ready to reveal the cover art.

Kiersten Fay Raawr. Those look hot, and quite dark. I'm trying to think what mine would be, and am sadly realizing that I haven't really found a 5 star book this year. But then, I haven't been able to read as much these day.

I've read marked. The first three in the series are good (harry potter meets vampire academy with a lot less action. But I wouldn't recommend going any further than book 3.
