What is it about the paranormal, in particular
vampires, that fascinates you so much?
I
have always been interested in paranormal ever since I can remember. I think it is the idea of the unknown and the
possibility of getting answers for the unanswerable questions. I have been fascinated with vampires because
I remember reading Dracula in Middle School and realizing that Dracula was
actually the hero in his own mind. Driven
to do his deeds by what he thought was a righteous cause and not just a
mindless monster. That's when I fell in
love with the anti-hero.
What is your favorite scene from the book? Could you share a little bit of it, without
spoilers of course?
My
favorite scene in, Gates, is when The Brit realizes that he is the hero,
no matter how much he avoids it. In Alpha
Hunter, it is when Alexander decides to carry on the legacy of being a
Neuri. That is vague but I don't want to
have any spoilers. The twists are always
my favorites.
With the book being part of a series, are there any
character or story arcs, that readers jumping in somewhere other than the first
book, need to be aware of? Can these
books be read as stand alones?
I
believe both of my series openers are stand-alone reads. Each of the stories have their own arc with a
complete ending but there is always the next question that spins the character
into a new journey. I plan that each part of the series can be its own story
but for the full character arc of The Brit and Alexander you would want to read
the entire series.
What can readers expect next from you?
In
November, I plan to participate in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo)
with a new book, Mortem. It will
be a Dystopian/Zombie genre novel based on an infection caused by red rain. A bit of a new spin on the genre, I
believe. I will have more coming out on
my website as the story develops.
Do you write in different genres?
Yes,
I right in different genres. Right now,
I write Dark Fantasy but I do have a Historical Fiction/Action coming out soon
titled, To the Gallows, based on one of the first African-American U.S.
Marshals. Cole Winters finds out that his
estranged Native American brother-in-law is wanted for murder and bank robbery
in the territories. In order, to protect him from the hired guns hunting him
down, Marshal Winters does the only thing he can. He hunts down his brother-in-law himself.
Do you find it difficult to write in multiple
genres?
I
think the hero's journey will always exist in any genre. That is what I always keep in mind as I write. I think the genre just sets the world the
characters live in and the rules of what can happen within that world.
Do you have any weird writing quirks or rituals?
I
don't know if it’s a quirk but I like to write the first draft of a story in a
notebook and then I read it back into voice recognition software. This way I hear it aloud as it is being put
on the screen. I feel it is a way of
rethinking the story.
Other than
writing, what are some of your interests, hobbies or passions in life?
I
love to spend time with my family. We
enjoy the outdoors here in the Pacific Northwest. I also participate in martial arts and
kettlebells. If not that, I am
researching and brainstorming new ideas.
When did you consider yourself a writer?
I
started to feel like a writer when there was outside recognition. That is, when I started to receive reviews
from people outside my circle of friends and family. While friends and family mean everything to
me, I believe that they will not be unbiased about my work.
Where can readers find you on the web?
I
am on Twitter @GSLuckett, Facebook, and G.S. Luckett's Books. I
also have free previews of my books at Noisetrade.
