Interview & Giveaway: Succubus Lost

Original Title: Succubus Lost
Series: From the files of the Otherworlder Enforcement Agency #2
Author: Tiffany Allee
Genre: Paranormal Romance



Someone is kidnapping and incinerating otherworlders beyond recognition, and Detective Marisol Whitman, a succubus, races to find the murderer before he claims another victim. But her pursuit is derailed when her responsible younger sister vanishes. Marisol suspects foul play and enlists support from an unlikely source: an agent from the Otherworlder Enforcement Agency, Valerio Costa.

When the trail pointing to everyone from vampires to witches dries up, Agent Costa admits to knowing more than he’s shared. Marisol’s sister’s kidnapper harnesses more magic than she can imagine—and they’re running out of time. To find her sister before her powers are drained and twisted beyond recognition, Marisol must connect the dots between cases and put her trust in Costa, a salamander who may burn her before she can solve either case.

INTERVIEW WITH TIFFANY


Is there an inspiration behind why you chose writing?

Thank you so much for having me here! I have always been an avid reader, ever since I was a little girl. Even after reading a book I really enjoyed, I would always ponder different things that could have happened. Like what would have happened if she chose the other man instead of the hero, or if the ending had been just a little different. Or I'd imagine what happened after "The End" flashed across the page.

I started writing my own stories so that I could control what happened. However, I've discovered that the characters kind of take on a mind of their own, and everything still doesn't happen quite like I plan.

When you were little, what did you want to be when you "grew up"? 

I'm sure I changed my mind about this a hundred times, but I usually wanted to be a writer. There were times I dreamed of being an actress as well, or a doctor. But the dream I always came back to was becoming a writer. I did spend my time in college pursing a practical job: accounting. But I've never been able to let the writing dream die.

Finish the sentence- one book I wish I had written is....

The Harry Potter series! Okay, I'll admit that's the greedy side of me talking. ;) I actually try not to wish for things like that. I think that each writer has a unique voice, and while I do have moments where I wish I could reach the levels of other writers I admire, I try not to dwell there. Instead, I concentrate on pushing each of my stories to the best I am capable of at the time, and improve my craft as I go.

What are your current literary works?  Any sneak peaks?

I am currently polishing the third book in the From the Files of the Otherworlder Enforcement Agency series. I don't have anything I can share quite yet, but I will tell you that it follows characters from the first two books. Astrid Holmes, the sensitive from the first two stories is the heroine, and she is trying to clear her name. Working with her is Mason Sanderson, who was a Chicago Internal Affairs officer in Banshee Charmer, but by the third book he has moved on to a position with the OWEA.

If you could travel in a Time Machine would you go back to the past or into the future?

I'd love to go into the past and change a few things (I'd buy some Apple stock for one), but in books and movies that way lies dragons. So I might take a peek at the future.

What is your favorite scene in the book and why do you love it?

My favorite scene in a book is the graveyard scene in Stacia Kane's Downside series. I suspect that anyone who has read her books will know exactly what scene I'm referring to, and I love it so much because it ripped my heart out in a way no book has done before or since.
