Questions and Answers for The Next Big Thing – Hannah Jayne

 

Q: What is your working title of your book?

Under A Spell

Q: Where did the idea come from for the book?

The heroine in my series, Sophie Lawson, carries around a lot of grief from being bullied all through high school. With the proliferation of bullies in the news lately, I thought Sophie needed to go back to high school and deal with her past. I mean, she can slay demons – what’s a few mean girls?

Q: What genre does your book fall under?

Urban Fantasy

Q: Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?

We actually have some casting under way for a web edition! The actresses are amazing – they are Katherine Celio and Katie

You can watch the two promos here: www.udasf.com

Q: What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?

Vampires, dragons, murders — it’s just another day at the demon-infested office for normal girl Sophie Lawson.

Under A Spell will be published by Kensington Books; it’s book 5 in the Underworld Detection Agency Chronicles

I’ll let you know when I finish…

It’s kind of a slant on the urban-fantasy genre; Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Stephanie Plum

Q: Who or what inspired you to write this book?

The fact that I’m just a little left of center inspires all my work.

Q: What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?

There may be murderers and werewolves and chocolate pinwheels but at it’s heart, The Underworld Detection Agency Chronicles are just about a girl looking for her place in the world.
