Interview:
Please welcome Shadow Hunter author Kait Ballenger to Diane's Book Blog.
What is your favorite
part of Shadow Hunter?
I have two favorite parts. The heart-wrenching moment when
Tiffany sits out on her fire escape and finally reads all the letters she never
opened from Damon, and the ending. I like both of those scenes, because I find
them emotionally gut-wrenching and as a reader there’s nothing I love more than
when a book can make me cry for the character’s pain. I still remember the
moment when I read my editor’s comments about the ending and she wrote that it
was “indelible!” That was a proud moment for me as a writer.
How long did it take
you to write Shadow Hunter?
When I first wrote Shadow Hunter, it was being released in
an anthology titled After Dark alongside a Lords of the Underworld novella by
NYT and USA Today Bestseller Gena Showalter, so I was on a very tight deadline
in order to make it into the anthology. I had to write the first draft in just
one month. It went through many edits after that though. I’m so excited for it
to be releasing as a stand-alone for just .99 cents!
If you were stranded
on a desert island which of your characters do you want by your side?
Though he doesn’t appear in Shadow Hunter other than just a
mention, I would probably want Ash Devereaux with me. He’s a ghost hunter,
which has nothing to do with deserted islands, but he grew up in the Louisiana
bayou. All my other guys in the group are Northerners from the big city, so I
think Ash would be best at surviving in a jungle atmosphere. Then again, Trent
Garrison, who is the resident hunter of shapeshifters, is an ex-military man,
so he would be pretty well versed in survival as well.
What is your favorite
book that you wrote?
Probably this one. I love the richness of Tiffany and
Damon’s background and relationship. Plus, I love a really tortured hero and
Damon is that to a tee. I also can’t wait to revisit their story again when
they get a full book of their own later down the line.
What's your favorite
book-turned movie?
The Notebook, because it’s the only time I’ve ever enjoyed
the movie more than the book. I also think The Hunger Games movies are really
well done, and of course, the earlier Harry Potter movies.
Can you share a
little of your current work with us?
Sure. Currently, I’m in the midst of finishing up the last
bits of Midnight Hunter, which is the third full length book in the Execution
Underground series (fourth in the series, if you count Shadow Hunter). I’ll
share the first few lines.
“Red, white, and blue lights flashed through the
encompassing darkness. The dead silence of Mt. Hope cemetery shattered with the
resounding whoop of the Rochester
P.D’s car siren. Shane swore. In two seconds flat, thanks to the police’s
arrival, the night had transitioned from shit to super shit. Because as much as
Dr. Shane Grey hated digging up dead bodies, he hated getting pinched by the
cops even more. From the looks of it, both were on tonight’s menu.”
What book are you
reading now?
I’m currently reading book number five, Born Wild, in the
Black Knight’s Inc series by the lovely Julie Ann Walker. I picked up the
series since she and I share the same agent, but Julie is incredibly talented.
If you like romantic suspense, her books are a must read. I’m hooked.
What do you prefer
paperback, hardcover, or ebooks?
I like all three and I read in all formats, but trade
paperback is my favorite ;-)
