Interview & Giveaway: Shilow Walker with Hunter’s Fall swag!

Submitted by on June 9, 2011 – 5:00 am51 Comments

Shiloh Walker has been writing since she was a kid. She fell in love with vampires with the book Bunnicula and has worked her way up to the more…ah…serious works of fiction. She loves reading and writing anything paranormal, anything fantasy, and nearly every kind of romance. Once upon a time she worked as a nurse, but now she writes full time and lives with her family in the Midwest. She writes paranormal and contemporary romance, as well as romantic suspense.

Q- What made you finally decide to write Nessa’s story?

A- It wasn’t so much of an active decision on my part. It was that Nessa was ready for her story to be told. I’m not one of the writers who plots things out-the stories come as they are ready to be told and Nessa was finally read to let me tell her story.

Q- The world of The Hunter’s and Nessa’s journey in particular, go to some rather dark places. Is it ever difficult to go there and expose that dark side of human nature through your characters?

A- Not really. If the story didn’t naturally flow that way and I tried to force it, then yes, it would be hard, but I just go with what the story wants.

Q- With the Hunter’s world being made of various supernatural beings (Were’s Vampires, Witches) did you base your mythology on any existing folklore and what kind of research have you done for the different spells used in your stories?

A- Well, I’ve always read a lot of paranormal and fantasy works and I’ve read up a lot of the folklore behind vampires and werewolves, but that’s the closest to ‘true’ research I can say I’ve done. With the Hunters, it’s mostly just imagination, I’m afraid.

Q- Readers get to know the character of the vampire Hunter, Dominic Ralston in Hunter’s Fall. His back story seems very sad and emotional, will we learn more about him in future books or short stories?

A- Dominic’s story was actually relayed in an older book of mine-it was released from Ellora’s Cave some time ago. The book was and Dominic was introduced then as a college student. I knew the minute he came onto the page that he’d have a story, and I had a feeling it would be with Nessa. It just took a while for both of them to be ready.

Q- As the series has progressed the world has gotten more complex. What is it like writing such a long series, how many more books can fans anticipate?

A- Oh, that’s a question I have no answer for. I’ll continue writing the books as long as the stories keep coming to me easily. If it gets to the point that I’m forcing them or they feel like they are becoming redundant, I’ll move on. Nothing sucks so much as a series that’s gone stale.

Q- Which couple from the Hunter’s World did you find most rewarding to create and why?

A- Probably Dom and Nessa…because it took so long to tell their story.

Q- Do you have any mental images for some of the Hunters…inquiring minds want to know;)?

A- Afraid not-I have images in my mind, but I rarely see anybody that matches them.

Q- What is next for you? Anything you can tease us with?

A- The next book due out is an ebook, one of my Grimm stories, called LOCKED IN SILENCE. After that, my romantic suspense series from Ballantine, which I’m so nervous about. Afraid I can’t give you details on that one, though…I’m keeping it close to my chest. I do have excerpts from the books posted at my site, if the readers want to check it out.
