Featured Interview With Jennifer Rainey
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born, raised and currently reside in central Ohio. I went to The Ohio State University for a degree in English, and I LOVE to read. The more books, the better! In addition to writing, I work as the marketing manager for a community bank, but in my spare time I love to ghost hunt, go antiquing and watch old movies. I am obsessed with tea and am a crazy cat lady-in-training.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I have always loved books. I remember being in elementary school and begging my teacher to let me go to the library each day before class so I could pick out a new book. I started writing in high school, both in school and in my own time. I just had so many characters chattering about in my mind; I had to get them out somehow! I’ve always been drawn to fantasy and the paranormal. Ghost stories, vampires, demons–I can’t get enough!
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I love Neil Gaiman, Jonathan L. Howard, Terry Pratchett, HP Lovecraft… the list goes on. I’m especially fond of paranormal fantasy and horror, and I’m positively in love with steampunk, too.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book is The Last Temptations of Iago Wick, and it’s the first book in The Lovelace & Wick Series. It follows a clever demon, Iago Wick, in 19th century Massachusetts as he tempts humans to damnation. He really has the world on a string until he meets his match in mysterious demon hunter Thomas Atchison. This book has a little steampunk, a little humor, and my, does it have a high body count! It’s a marvelously macabre tale. The series will follow Iago Wick and his partner, Dante Lovelace, as they face witches, hunters, vampires and cyborgs–watch out for “Iago Wick and the Vampire Queen,” a novella set to come out this summer.
