Book Interview with Shannon K. Butcher on December 2010
Q: For those new to The Sentinel Wars series, how would you describe your books and the importance of each Sentinel finding the woman who can save his soul?
I usually describe the books as being filled with hot, tattooed, sword-wielding warriors and the women who make their lives interesting. Basically, the concept for the Theronai?one of the three Sentinel races?is that the men house huge reserves of power that grow over time because they can't access it?they can only store it. After a few centuries, that power grows to the point that it begins to kill them. If they don't find a woman who can wield the magic inside of them and funnel some of that energy away, they are destined to either take their own lives or become like the monsters they fight.
Q: Where did you find the inspiration behind the series?
I'm a big ol' nerd, so years of tabletop role-playing games and bad sci-fi movies have given me tons of inspiration. I also find that music with a heavy emotional component does a lot to fuel my creativity.
Q: Please tell us about LIVING NIGHTMARE.
LIVING NIGHTMARE is a story I've been waiting a long time to tell. Rough, foul-mouthed Madoc has been trying to protect Nika from himself since the moment he met her. He wants her, but knows that she's too fragile and innocent, and the two of them can never be together. Nika believes differently...

I enjoy bad scifi movies, too. Saturday the SyFy channel usually has some so bad they are good movies.

Really great idea for a book, kind of like Spock's mating practices.
