Interview

Goldilox: Did you know when you started the series how things were going to play out with Lavinia and the shift of focus onto Cain?

Jaye: I didn't, actually. Cain really started pushing himself into the mix in book three, Green-Eyed Demon. By that point, I went with it because it made sense to me because Lilith and Cain's relationship drove the world building and was still causing ripples in Sabina's world.


Goldilox: How did you choose the various locations that the series would be set in (L.A., New York, New Orleans, Italy...)?

Jaye: I have a complex relationship with Los Angeles, which influenced why I chose it as a setting for the vampires. Since one coast was dominated by them, I figured the other coast would be dominated by the mages, thus New York became the home of the mages. New Orleans was chosen for two reasons: 1) It was somewhat neutral ground and 2) It's one of my favorite cities to visit and I wanted an excuse to go. :)

Italy was a more complicated decision. First, I wanted the final book to have a grand setting. I'd been to Italy while I was writing The Mage in Black, and had a lot of first-hand experience with some of the setting I chose. I also wanted to take the gang back to the Old Country to see a little bit about how the Dark Races got along there. Plus, Italy just has so many awesome spots --catacombs, bone chapels, Oracle grottos, etc.


Goldilox: Is there a little bit of you in Sabina? Or is she totally different than you?

Jaye: All of my characters are me to some extent. However, I tell people I am most like Giguhl in public, but in my private life I'm more like Sabina. Take that however you'd like.
