Five things you (probably) didn't know about WILD

[naomi_jay]

 

1. In the very first version of WILD, Lizzie was a heroin addict living in Portland, Oregon, because I didn't think a UK-set urban fantasy would sell.

2. The Sylvia Plath poem, Suicide off Egg Rock, was a heavy influence on me throughout the writing and rewriting of WILD.

3. The ghouls in WILD were inspired both by the werewolf victims in An American Werewolf in London and by my own experiences with homeless people in Liverpool.

4. I originally planned WILD as a standalone, but once I finished, I realised Lizzie still had a long journey ahead of her before I could say her story was done.

5. WILD IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR SALE! Check it out right here at Amazon US and Amazon UK!

Heh, thank you! Hope you like werewolves and drugs! (In fiction, obviously)

Actually I do (in fiction, of course), lol. It'll make for an interesting combination for sure. ;)

I started to read her first book, but it just didn't suit me. I was kinda disappointed because I loved the idea of it all!
