) Are Eli, Victor, Sydney, Mitch, Marcella, June or any of the many different characters in the book based on specific individuals? I certainly always wanted to, but publishing is a business where writing is an art, and I designed Vicious so that it could stand alone for as long as need be, until the publisher decided it was a smart investment to let me continue. Did you always plan to revisit this world and write a second book? On top of that, I wanted to do something really ambitious with structure, and the braided narrative of Vicious was born. Specifically, I wanted to write about people who did terrible things, and see if I could make the reader still root for one of them. I asked myself what I would write, if I could write anything, what I would read, and the answer was simple: I wanted to write/read about villains. Honestly, it started simply as a writing exercise, something to help me rediscover my love of the creative process as I was learning to navigate the business side. What was the original inspiration for Vicious? She recently agreed to be interviewed by Daryl Maxwell for the LAPL Blog. Her latest book, Vengeful, is the sequel to her much-lauded adult debut, Vicious, a masterful tale of ambition, jealousy, and superpowers.
