Interview and GIveaway with Danielle DeVor Author of Tail of the Devil
Please share a little about yourself, your genres,
any other pen names you use.
I am obsessed with anything chocolate and I’ve found
that eating chocolate before sitting down to write helps me get down words. If
there is no chocolate, cashews work as well.
I mostly write fantasy/horror both YA and Adult, but
I have dabbled with Paranormal Romance and Thrillers.
Tell us a little about your latest or upcoming
release.
Tail of the Devil is about a street kid, Mathias,
who just wants to live. When he’s gunned down outside of a building, a vampire
saves him and takes him to Siberia where the ruling government of vampires
reside as well as the school for vampire children. Mathias must learn a whole
new way of living that includes having manners and dealing with vampires who
believe he’s the reincarnation of their old revered king.
Have you ever based your book or characters on
actual events or people from your own life?
Yes. Mathias’ parents are based on my own. And his
last name, Drvar, was the original spelling of my family’s last name.
What would your readers be surprised to learn about
you?
That I love frogs. I have tons of different types
and recently received a frog toy from India. It is adorable.
When you’re not writing what do you do? Do you have
any hobbies or guilty pleasures?
I crochet, play the harp, and still dabble in
ballet. At one time, I wanted to be a professional dancer.
Which romance book or series (or other genre, if you
don’t write romance) do you wish you had written?
The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice. I just love
Lestat and can’t get enough of his sarcasm.
Is there a genre(s) that you’d like to write that
you haven’t tackled yet?
Historial fiction. I recently hit upon an idea about
West Virginia coal mining communities in the 1920’s, so this one is going to
take me a few years to research.
Of all the characters you’ve ever written, who is
your favorite and why?
This is a hard question. It is probably a toss up
between Nossy from Tail of the Devil because he is so much fun and Jimmy
Holiday, the priest from Sorrow’s Point.
If this book is part of a series…what is the next
book? Any details you can share?
Tail of the Devil is the first of a series. Mathias
learns that even the vampire government is corrupt when his friend, and current
king, is kidnapped.
What is next for you? Do you have any scheduled
upcoming releases or works in progress?
My book, Sorrow’s Point, is coming out on October
15, 2013. And, I have recently contracted a YA Paranormal Romance called
Constructing Marcus.
What book are you reading now?
Broken Harbor by Tana French
What is in your to read pile?
It isn’t very long at the moment because I’m a fast
reader. But, I just bought Summer of Ghosts by Doug Everly on my Kindle.

Book Description:
If Mathias thought being homeless sucked, being a vampire is worse. The vampires who transformed him believe he is the reincarnation of an ancient king. They expect him to quit swearing, use a napkin, and play by their weird, ancient rules. Screw that.
But after the reigning queen assaults Mathias, he has visions of a past life in which he was that king. Turns out the current queen killed him then, and wants to kill him again. He’d better grow up fast, because if he doesn’t his second life may be shorter than his first.

About the Author:
Danielle DeVor spent her early years fantasizing about vampires and watching “Salem’s Lot” way too many times. After living briefly in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, she moved back to her hometown to write. When not writing and reading about weird things, you will find her hanging out at the nearest coffee shop, enjoying a mocha frappuccino.
