Meet Author Hannah Jayne

I’ve been fortunate to live in California, where I get to belong to three RWA chapters. One of my sisters from the Silicon Valley RWA Chapter is Hannah Jayne, author of Urban Fantasy/Romantic Suspense.

In Under Wraps, she had me chuckling on the first page (a dragon with nail polish?) and didn’t let me go until the end.

I’ve excerpted an answer to an interview question I recently asked her.

SH:  Hannah, tell us about the world building you do. Where the heck do you get all your great characters and ideas?

HJ:  Well, I don’t feel like I have to do a lot of world building — my backyard is San Francisco, California — one of the most paranormal places on Earth! I remember looking out the window one day and seeing a leather-clad dominatrix walking a leashed Santa Claus into the library. In July. So, I don’t think a handful of tattooed pixies, blue cheese smelling trolls, or fashionista vampires rolling down Market Street is all that far fetched. As for my ideas? Thankfully, I rarely have to go “get” them — they’re always coming to me! I’m naturally inquisitive (or maybe it’s paranoid?) and I’m completely fascinated by why things happen or better yet, how those happenings affect people. I’ve always been a big “what if”-er, and that helps. And keeps me up at night…

Here’s the blurb on her latest book, Under Attack:

Sophie Lawson is a human immune to magic, which comes in handy for helping paranormal beings transition into everyday life. But fallen angel Alex Grace and his search for the Vessel of Souls is one curse she never saw coming. Suddenly an unexplainable string of killings and destruction has even San Francisco’s demons fearing for their immortal lives. And Sophie isn’t about to trust Alex’s all-too-vulnerable charm or his secret agenda. Now their hunt is revealing dangerous secrets about Sophie’s past, and malevolent power hellishly close to turning one irreverent human into the ultimate supernatural weapon.
