Angie Fox Interview Intro
Hello Book
Monsters and Literal Addicts! Book Monster Reviews and LITERAL ADDICTION are
very excited to welcome the incredible Angie Fox to our sites today.
Angie Fox is the New York Times bestselling
author of several books about vampires, werewolves and things that go bump in
the night.
She claims that researching her stories can be
just as much fun as writing them. In the name of fact-finding, Angie has ridden
with Harley biker gangs, explored the tunnels underneath Hoover Dam and found
an interesting recipe for Mamma Coalpot’s Southern Skunk Surprise (she’s still
trying to get her courage up to try it).
Angie earned a Journalism degree from the
University of Missouri. She worked in television news and then in advertising
before beginning her career as an author.
Angie is the creator of THE ACCIDENTAL DEMON
SLAYER series, as well as a numerous amount of stand-alone novels and
anthologies.
THE ACCIDENTAL DEMON SLAYER series currently
consists of four books - "The Accidental Demon Slayer", "The
Dangerous Book For Demon Slayers", "A Tale of Two Demon Slayers"
and "The Last Demon Slayer".
Angie also has an upcoming release
"Immortally Yours" that is scheduled to release on August 28, 2012 and we'll be checking that
out as well.
Now, let's take a look at all four books in THE
ACCIDENTAL DEMON SLAYER series and Angie's upcoming release "Immortally
Yours" …..

IN
THE WAR BETWEEN THE GODS…
No
one patches up the incoming wounded like Dr. Petra Robichaud. Recruited by the
gods for her uncanny medical skills, she’s the best M*A*S*H surgeon in the
army. Along with a nosy guard sphinx, vegetarian werewolf, and other paranormal
paramedics, she bandages soldiers who are built like Greek gods (literally.)
But when one sexy immortal ends up on her operating table—half dead and totally
to-die-for—Petra’s afraid she’ll lose her patient and her heart…
NOTHING
IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN LOVE
Commander
Galen of Delphi is one gorgeous but stubborn demi-god. When his spirit tries to
slip out of his fatally wounded body, Dr. Petra has to slip it back
in—unwittingly revealing her ability to see ghosts. Now that Galen knows her
secret, he’s convinced she’s part of an ancient prophesy. If the oracles are
right, Petra could lead Galen’s army to peace.
And if he seduces her on the way
to hell and back?
Heaven knows—all’s fair in love and war…

Accidental Demon Slayer",

ACCIDENTAL DEMON SLAYER, Book 1

Straight-laced preschool teacher, Lizzie Brown,
never lies, never cusses, and doesn’t really care much for surprises. When her
long lost Grandma Gertie shows up on her doorstep on a neon pink Harley
Davidson wearing a “Kiss My Asphalt” t-shirt and hauling a carpet bag full of
Smuckers jars filled with road kill magic, Lizzie doesn’t think her life could
get any stranger. That is, until her hyper-active terrier starts talking and an
ancient demon decides to kill her from his perch on the back of her toilet.
Lizzie learns she’s a demon slayer, fated to
square off with the devil’s top minion in, oh about two weeks. Sadly, she’s
untrained, unfit and under attack. Grandma’s gang of seventy-something biker
witches promises to whip Lizzie into shape in no time, as long as she joins
them out on the road. But Lizzie wants nothing to do with all this craziness.
She simply wants her normal life back. When she accidentally botches the spell
meant to protect her, she only has one choice – trust the utterly delicious but
secretive man who claims to be her protector.
Dimitri Kallinikos has had enough. Cursed by a
demon centuries ago, his formerly prominent clan has dwindled down to himself
and his younger twin sisters, both of whom are now in the coma that precedes
certain death. To break the curse, he must kill the demon behind it. Dimitri
needs a slayer. At long last, he’s found Lizzie. But how do you talk a girl
you’ve never met into going straight to Hell? Lie (and hope she forgives you).
Dimitri decides to pass himself off as Lizzie’s fated protector in order to
gain her trust and guide her towards this crucial mission. But will his choice
to deceive her cost them their lives, or simply their hearts?

Demon-slaying powers should come with
an instruction book…
Seriously. Why does a new hair dryer
have a twelve-page how-to manual, but when it comes to ancient demon-fighting
hocus-pocus, my biker witch granny gives me just half a dozen switch stars and
a rah-rah speech? Oh, and a talking terrier, but that’s another story. It’s not
like my job as a preschool teacher prepared me for this kind of thing.
So I’ve decided to write my own manual, The Dangerous Book for
Demon Slayers, because no one tells me anything. Dimitri, my “protector,” may
be one stud of a shape-shifting griffin, but he always thinks he can handle
everything by himself. Only he’s no match for the soul-stealing succubi taking
over Las Vegas. If I can’t figure out how to save him—and Sin City—there’ll be
hell to pay.
"A
Tale of Two Demon Slayers"
THE
ACCIDENTAL DEMON SLAYER, Book 3

Last month, I was a single preschool teacher
whose greatest thrill consisted of color-coding my lesson plans. That was
before I learned I was a slayer. Now, it’s up to me to face curse-hurling imps,
vengeful demons, and any other supernatural uglies that crop up. And, to top it
off, a hunk of a shape-shifting griffin has invited me to Greece to meet his
family.
But it’s not all sun, sand, and ouzo. Someone has
created a dark-magic version of me with my powers and my knowledge—and it wants
to kill me and everyone I know. Of course, this evil twin doesn’t have
Grandma’s gang of biker witches, a talking Jack Russell terrier, or an
eccentric necromancer on its side. In the ultimate showdown for survival, may
the best demon slayer win.
"The Last Demon Slayer".
THE
ACCIDENTAL DEMON SLAYER, Book 4
Buy now
Lizzie Brown would just like to have one normal
date. Instead she gets a towering inferno with a message: her long-lost dad is
a fallen angel in danger of becoming a demon. Not good. Especially since she’s
a demon slayer.
Her grandma advises her to stay out of it. Her
sexy-as-sin shapeshifter boyfriend would much rather she devote her attention
to more carnal pursuits. And her dog’s one demand is for more bacon. After all,
he can’t train his pet dragon on an empty stomach.
But Lizzie knows there’s no other choice but to
hop on her Harley and help her father – even if the search for the truth brings
a bad-boy slayer back into her life and leads her into the middle of a war to
end all wars.
We know!
They sound incredible and you just can't get enough!! Before ya'll run off to start ordering the
books, check out our interview with Angie to learn more about the incredible
author behind the books…
with Angie Fox
Angie: Thanks! I’m glad to be here.
Q1): Can you tell us 3 things about yourself that
we can't find out on the internet, in your bio, etc?2) In college, I skipped class for a week so I could read Ann Rice’s entire vampire series straight through
3) I am a total Parrot Head and have seen Jimmy Buffett in concert fifteen times. Frankly, I don’t know whether to be proud or slightly embarrassed by that.
2) How old where you when you first realized you
wanted to be a writer? Was there anyone
or anything in particular that inspired you?
3) Do you have any interesting writing quirks or
things that you must have with you to begin the writing process?
Angie: I have to be on the green couch in the living room. That’s “the” place to write. My dog snuggles up next to me. Or, if she’s feeling nosy, she gets up on the pillow above me and supervises.
I also have to start a chapter in Times New Roman single space. That’s my font for creating. Then when I’m feeling like it’s come together pretty well, I switch over to Courier New double space and that somehow re-sets my mind and gives me a fresh look so I can edit and tweak. And I can’t move on to a new chapter until I’m feeling pretty set about the one before it.
4) What is a typical day like in the life of
Angie Fox?
It’s more like my dog gets me out of bed. She hangs with me while I write in the mornings. We go until about 1:00 p.m. Then in the afternoon, I’ll answer emails or work on promotions or (and this is my favorite) I’ll read for fun.
5) What are some of your hobbies, or things that
you enjoy doing when you’re not writing or taking care of other author
business?
6) What are some of your favorite TV shows and
movies?
7) I (Carla) come up with my best ideas while
I'm laying in bed *trying* to fall asleep.
When or where do you come up with your best ideas?
Angie: Any place that
lacks a pencil and paper. I’ve had to pull over while driving and key ideas
into my phone. I’ve ended showers early. Oh, and one time, the entire ending of
a novel came to me while I was lifting weights at the gym. I snuck into the
daycare area and asked the woman if she had a pen and paper. She gave me a
purple crayon and a coloring sheet. Then, because I was afraid my kids would
see me and want to talk (thus making ideas flee), I sat on the floor in front
of the counter at the Kid’s Club and wrote out the ending of A Tale of Two
Demon Slayers with that purple crayon. I got a lot of funny looks, but I didn’t
care. I had the perfect ending and what I had on that coloring paper is pretty
much exactly what’s in the book.
8) Do you have a personal favorite book among
those you have written so far? Maybe one
that holds special meaning for you, etc?
Angie: Immortally Yours
is my favorite so far. I never realized a book could be so complex, yet so
character driven and humorous. It really stretched me as a writer. As I started
writing Immortally Yours, I remember calling up an author friend of mine and
telling her I’d made a mistake pitching this idea. How could I write a
paranormal war drama, one set in a M*A*S*H unit, and make it funny? But then
the characters took over and the rest is history.
9) If you
could spend the day with any one of your characters, who would it be, and what
would you want to do?
10)
So far THE ACCIDENTAL DEMON SLAYERS series
has 4 books (not including novellas and anthologies). Do you intend to write more stories in this
world?
11) How
many books do you have planned for the ACCIDENTAL DEMON SLAYER series?
12): What are
some of the challenges (research, literary, psychological, logistical, etc) of
bringing THE ACCIDENTAL DEMON SLAYER series to life on the pages?
Occasionally, I’ll let a side story stay in there. Like in A Tale of Two Demon Slayers, Pirate adopts a pet. But he’s a dog. He’s a pet. A pet can’t have a pet. So Lizzie decides to get rid of the dragon. Only she’s busy fighting the bad guys and she keeps telling Pirate to find the dragon a good home. Only he’s hiding the dragon and every time Lizzie turns around, Flappy isn’t gone . Instead, the dragon is getting bigger and bigger and it’s all getting out of hand.
I felt her pain because I was trying to get rid of Flappy too. I didn’t feel like the series needed another character. Flappy was supposed to be in one or two scenes – tops. But he just wouldn’t leave. Now he’s a main character and I’m still not quite sure how it happened.
13) Congratulations! You have a new release coming out in August
titled "Immortally Yours". Is
this book a stand-alone or will this be the beginning of a new series?
15) What
other projects do you have in the works that you can share with us?
16) What
has been the most rewarding experience of your career so far?
Angie: When readers email or stop by a signing and
tell me that one of the books helped them through a tough time or made them
smile when they really needed it. It doesn’t get any better than that.
17) If you
could have any one super power, what would you want it to be? Why that one?
Teleportation. I’m not crazy about driving. I just want
to get there. Plus, it would be fun to pop up behind people.
18) If you
could describe your life up to this moment in 5 words what would they be?
Watch. Out. For. That. Tree.
(Bonus points if you know where that is from)
19) What
legacy do you hope to leave your readers with?
20) Is there anything specific you would like to
say to your readers while we have you here today?
Angie: Thanks for the
love and support throughout the years! The emails and letters mean so much to
me.

This sounds like such a fun group of books. Im glad I saw your interview. Thank you
Thanks again for having me, Carla!
Angie - You made me incredibly happy to know that you are going to write more with Lizzy and Dimitri. I squealed when I read that!
No need to enter me in this contest since I got lucky and won her books signed from BBB.
Biker witches rule. LOLOL!
I found you when I read 'The Werewives of Vampire County'.Looking forward to reading more books from you. :-)
Hi Angie! I am a huge fan of The Accidental Demon Slayer series, and of course Dimitri is totally yummy! I can't wait to read your upcoming release Immortally Yours. Thanks for the giveaway. bpatrick64113@sbcglobal.net
Awww...thanks, Raonaid! Pirate is happy too. He's dying to get into some trouble.
That's awesome, Leann. That anthology for Werewives was a total blast to write. And I had to watch Desperate Housewives for research. Yes, it was tough, but I managed.
Glad to do it, Barb! It's great to hear you're enjoying the books!
